Ⅰ.阅读理解
For years,the giant squid(大王乌贼)had remained a modern mystery. Living in the dark depths of the ocean,the creature is difficult for scientists to observe directly. It had also managed to avoid all attempts to film it. That changed last July:for the first time ever,scientists were able to catch the giant squid on video in its natural habitat. They were amazed by what they saw. The scientists filmed the squid in the North Pacific Ocean,south of Tokyo,Japan. They followed it down to a depth of 2,952 feet. They shot more than 23 minutes of video before the squid swam off into even darker depths. The video footage will be released to the public later this month on The Discovery Channel.
Tsunemi Kubodera,a zoologist at Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science,led the team that filmed the squid. The team went into the ocean in a small submarine with lights invisible to both humans and squid. Since giant squid eat smaller squid,the scientists released a small squid as bait(诱饵).Then the scientists waited in the pitch black for the giant squid to approach.
