第7练中国深海探测新阶段
Step 1: 阅读理解
China has delivered a successful coordinated deep-sea exploration trial with the country's unmanned submersible Haidou-1 and the manned Fendouzhe, or Striver, marking major strides from "entering" to "expediting" in the field.
With the help of Striver, Haidou-1 has become the first in the world to conduct a large-scale near-bottom topographic survey in the western depression of the Challenger Deep during a scientific expedition to the Mariana Trench.
Tang Yuangui, chief engineer of the vehicle, said it has three control modes - autonomous mode, remote control mode and mixed mode - enabling it to flexibly respond to extreme marine conditions of all depths, and carry out scientific research activities, including abyssal exploration.
Experts believe that the Haidou-1 has shown significant advantages in application areas including target locating, seafloor topography detection, real-time image broadcasting and identification of target objects, which has provided a very effective means to support the 10,000-meter abyssal scientific research activities.
The Haidou-1 has broken several world records for unmanned submersibles, including the first full-coverage acoustic cruise of the western depression of the Challenger Deep, a diving depth of 10,908 meters, and near-seabed navigation distance of more than 14 kilometers, according to Tang.
1. What is the function of Striver?
A. To mark major advances in deep-sea exploration.
B. To break several world records.
C. To help Haidou-1 conduct deep-sea survey.
D. To increase the depth of exploration.
2.What does the underlined word “flexibly” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. gradually
B. frequently
C. smartly
D. fluently
3. What is Tang's attitude to China’s deep-sea exploration?
A. Disappointing.

B. Haidou-1 and Striver succeeded in exploring deep sea.
C. Haidou-1 conducted the first topographic survey
D. China ranks first in deep-sea exploration.
【参考答案】CCBA
【解析】
1.根据第二段的“With the help of Striver, Haidou-1 has become the first in the world to conduct a large-scale near-bottom topographic survey”可知，在Striver的帮助下，海斗一号在世界上第一个进行了大规模近底地形的测量。

故选C。

2.根据第三段的“it has three control modes - autonomous mode, remote control mode and mixed mode”可知，它具有三种控制模式——自主模式、遥控模式和混合模式。

因此它可以灵活作出回应。

故选C。

3.根据最后一段的“The Haidou-1 has broken several world records for unmanned submersibles”可知，海斗一号打破多项无人潜水器做出的世界纪录，因此Tang Yuangui对中国深海勘探充满希望。

故选B。

4.根据第一段的“China has delivered a successful coordinated deep-sea exploration trial with the country's unmanned submersible Haidou-1 and the manned Fendouzhe, or Striver, marking major strides from "entering" to "expediting" in the field. ”可知，中国通过海斗一号无人潜水器和载人奋斗者号成功地进行了深海协调勘探试验，标志着其在该领域从“进入”到“加速”迈出了重大的步伐。

即中国深海勘探进入新时期。

故选A。

参考翻译
中国通过海斗一号无人潜水器和载人奋斗者号成功地进行了深海协调勘探试验，标志着其在该领域从“进入”到“加速”迈出了重大的步伐。

在奋斗者号的帮助下，海斗一号在世界上首次在马里亚纳海沟科学考察期间在“挑战者深渊”西部洼地进行大规模近底地形测量。

总工程师唐元贵表示，它具有自主模式、遥控模式和混合模式三种控制模式，能够灵活应对各种深度的极端海洋条件，开展深海探索等科学研究活动。

专家认为，“海斗一号”在目标定位、海底地形检测、实时图像广播和目标物体识别等应用领域表现出显著优势，为支持万米深海科研活动提供了非常有效的手段。

总工程师唐元贵说到，海斗一号打破多项无人潜水器创下的世界纪录，包括在“挑战者深渊”西部洼地首次全覆盖声学巡航，下潜深度10908米，近海海底航行距离超过14公里。
