Lesson 30-1     Exploring the sea-floor

Our knowledge of

the oceans a hundred years ago was confined to the two- dimensional shape of

the sea surface and the hazards of navigation presented by the irregularities

in depth of the shallow water close to the land. The open sea was deep and

mysterious, and anyone who gave more than a passing thought to the bottom

confines of the oceans probably assumed that the sea bed was flat. Sir James

Clark Ross had obtained a sounding of over 2,400 fathoms in 1839, but it was

not until 1869，when H.M.S Porcupine was put at thedisposal of the Royal Society for several cruises that a series of deepsoundings was obtained in the Atlantic and the first samples were collected bydredging the bottom. Shortly after this the famous H. M. S. Challengerexpedition established the study of the sea-floor as a subject worthy of themost qualified physicists and geologists.

练习感悟：今天由于有事情要做，所以耽搁了，还好补上了，不然要在未来某一天再读一个两篇，那真的很难。这篇文章，相对来说还是比较难的，长句太多了，很多时候，读着读着，都不知道在哪里要停顿了。
