As in the field of space travel, so in undersea exploration new technologies continue to appear. They share a number of similarities with each other--as well as some important differences.
Manned submersibles, like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment. But while a spaceship must simply be sealed against the vacuum of space, a submersible must be able to bear extreme pressure if it is not to break up in the deep water.
In exploring space, unmanned vehicles were employed before astronauts. In undersea exploration, on the other hand, men paved the way, and only recently have unmanned re- mote-operated vehicles (ROVs) been put to use.
One reason for this is that communicating with vehicles in orbit is much easier than talking to those underwater. A vacuum is an ideal medium for radio communications, but underwater communications are limited to much slower sound waves. Thus, most undersea vehicles-particularly ROVs-operate at the end of long ropes.
For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceship’s position can be located by following its radio signal, or by using telescopes and radar. For an undersea vehicle, however, a special network of sonar devices must be laid out in advance on the ocean floor in the area of a dive to locate the vehicle’s position.
Though undersea exploration is more challenging than outer space in a number of aspects, it has a distinct advantage, going to the ocean depths doesn’t require the power necessary to escape Earth’s gravity. Thus, it remains far less expensive. [br] Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
选项
A、New techniques are continually developed and new machines invented for undersea exploration.
B、If not well built, a submersible is most likely to get crushed in deep water.
C、A submersible, when manned, looks very like a spaceship.
D、In certain respects undersea exploration is often faced with the same problem as the space exploration.
答案
C
解析
“New techniques are continually developed and new machines invented for undersea exploration”,这在第一和第三段中提及过;“If not well built, a submersible is most likely to get crushed in deep water”,这在第二段最后一句话中提到过;“In certain respects undersea exploration is often faced with the same problem as the space exploration”,在第一段末提到过。尽管文章第二段提及“Manned submersibles, like spaceships, must maintain living conditions in an unnatural environment”,但不能将其理解为“A submersible, when manned, looks very like a spaceship”,可见选择项[C]在文中没有被提及,所以是正确答案。
