DIVING① DEEP
1 Lying under waters across the globe are an estimated three million shipwrecks②.【1】All of them represent attempts over the centuries to explore Earth’s furthest corners.Among these is the Esmeralda,the earliest wreck from the age of the European exploration of Asia.【2】Today,some③500 years after the Esmeralda set sail④,there is little—if any 【3】—land on our planet left unexplored⑤.We have more detailed maps of the Moon,and even of Venus and Mars,than we do of Earth’s own sea bed.【4】
【1】本句是完全倒装句。动词-ing形式短语位于句首引起完全倒装。
【2】本句是完全倒装句,“the earliest...Asia”作主语the Esmeralda的同位语。
【3】if any表示“如果有的话”,是if型省略结构。
【4】than引导的比较状语从句,do替代前面的have more detailed maps。
学生用书第134页
2 Given⑥our limited knowledge,it is perhaps no surprise that exploration of the oceans continues to⑦lead to discoveries in various scientific fields 【5】.As with⑧the discovery of the Esmeralda,many archaeological finds⑨are made in shallow waters⑩near the coast.These may sometimes include whole cities buried beneath the waves.One such find is the ancient Roman city of Neápolis,discovered off the coast of Tunisia.Believed to have been buried underwater by a tsunami in the fourth century AD,the ruins of Neápolis are almost 2,000 years old.The remaining streets and buildings offer a window into⑪a fascinating⑫period in our history.However,we are only beginning to overcome the challenges of pressure,darkness and extreme cold⑬at vast depths.Fragments⑭of the past lying deep beneath the oceans are still waiting to be discovered.
【5】“it is no surprise that...”表示“……不足为奇”,it作形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语。
3 Amazing biological⑮discoveries are also being made.The dark zones of the oceans may contain up to 90 per cent of the planet’s fish.In these waters,more than 200 metres deep,where light cannot reach,are extraordinary creatures that appear as if they are straight out of science fiction.【6】Imagine bone-white coral⑯6,000 metres below the ocean’s surface,growing at the rate of⑰only one or two millimetres per year.Some of these could be 4,000 years old.Swimming through these black depths is the barreleye,a strange fish with eyes that can look upwards through its transparent⑱forehead.In the very⑲deepest ocean trenches⑳that are more than 8,000 metres below the surface,the pressure is equivalent to㉑50 aeroplanes stacked㉒one on top of another.Yet there is still life to be found,even around the deep-sea volcanic openings㉓.These discoveries all help us understand the capacity for life on our planet,even in the most extreme circumstances.
【6】本句是主从复合句。句子的主干是In these waters are extraordinary creatures。where引导定语从句,修饰先行词these waters;that引导定语从句,修饰先行词creatures,该从句中又包含一个as if引导的表语从句。
学生用书第135页
4 Furthermore,the oceans are a valuable source of natural resources,some of which are completely new to us.【7】Most notable㉔of these is China’s discovery of an ice-like substance㉕,known as “fire ice”,under the South China Sea.In addition,China’s underwater vessels㉖,such as the Jiaolong and Shenhai Yongshi,have been exploring waters at depths of thousands of metres.The Jiaolong even holds the record for㉗the deepest dive by a manned submarine㉘,at 7,062 metres,giving China its place alongside㉙the world’s top ocean explorers.The research conducted by these vessels is giving scientists a greater understanding of how the sea bed was formed,as well as helping identify areas for deep-sea drilling㉚,taking deep-sea exploration into a whole new era.【8】
【7】“代词+of which”引导的非限制性定语从句,which指代先行词natural resources。
【8】本句是主从复合句。句子的主干是The research is giving scientists a greater understanding as well as helping identify areas。过去分词短语conducted by these vessels作后置定语,修饰主语The research;how引导宾语从句;动词-ing形式短语“taking deep-sea exploration into a whole new era”作结果状语。
5 Being a tough environment㉛of complete darkness,enormous㉜pressure and intense㉝cold,【9】the ocean depths have long been beyond the reach of㉞human exploration.However,through closer international scientific,economic and cultural cooperation,we are all becoming part of a global mission to open up㉟our planet’s final frontier㊱.Humankind is entering a new age of oceanic discovery,and the world beneath the waves may one day be almost as familiar to us as the land we walk upon today.
【9】动词-ing形式短语作状语,表示主语the ocean depths的状态。

潜入深海
1 全球水下据估计有三百万艘沉船,它们都代表着若干世纪以来探索地球最远端的努力尝试。其中就包括了“埃斯梅拉达”号,它是欧洲国家探索亚洲时代留下的最早残骸。如今,距离“埃斯梅拉达”号起航已有差不多500年,我们星球上尚未被人类探索的土地——如果有的话——已经少之又少了。(然而,)我们手中关于地球自身海底的地图,甚至比不上关于月球乃至金星、火星的天体图详尽。
学生用书第136页
2 鉴于我们认知有限,探索海洋可以不断带来各种不同科学领域的发现就显得不足为奇了。就像发现“埃斯梅拉达”号的残骸一样,很多考古学发现都发生在近海岸的浅水水域。这些发现有时会包括埋在海浪下的整座城市,其中之一便是在突尼斯近海发现的古罗马城市奈阿波利斯。据悉,在公元4世纪,奈阿波利斯被一场海啸淹没,其废墟至今已有2 000年的历史。存留下来的街道、建筑为我们打开了一扇窗,让我们得以窥见那段精彩的历史。然而,我们才刚刚开始克服广袤的海洋深处的压强、黑暗和极寒所带来的挑战。过去的碎片仍深藏在大洋底部,等待被发现。
3 生物学领域也有惊人的发现。海洋的黑暗区域里或许生存着多达地球上90%的鱼类。在200多米以下,阳光照不到的那些水域里,生存着一些看起来就像是直接从科幻小说中走出来的奇异生物。想象一下,在海平面下6 000米深处,骨白色的珊瑚以每年仅一到两毫米的速度生长着,它们中有些可能已经存活了4 000年。漆黑的深海里管眼鱼游来游去,这是种奇特的鱼,眼睛可以透过透明的前额向上看。在海平面以下8 000多米处最深的海沟里,压强相当于50架飞机堆叠在一起,然而这里仍有生命的存在,甚至在深海海底的火山口周围也有生命。这些发现帮助我们理解地球上生命的承受力,甚至是在最极端的环境(的承受力)。
4 此外,海洋还是自然资源的宝贵来源,其中一些对我们来说是全新的资源。最值得一提的便是中国在南海发现的冰状物质——被称为“可燃冰”。此外,中国的水下舰艇,如“蛟龙”号和“深海勇士”号,一直在数千米深的水域探索。“蛟龙”号甚至保持着载人潜舰的最深下潜纪录7 062米,使中国跻身于世界顶级海洋探索国之列。借助这些潜水器所完成的研究有利于科学家进一步了解海床的形成过程,帮助确定深海钻探区域,将深海勘探带入一个崭新的时代。
5 深海区域环境恶劣,完全黑暗、压强极大、极度寒冷,长期以来都是人类探索无法到达的区域。然而,通过更紧密的国际科学、经济以及文化合作,我们都在成为开拓地球最后疆域这一全球使命的参与者。人类正进入一个海洋发现的新时代,或许有朝一日,我们会像熟悉脚下的土地一样熟悉那海浪下的世界。
