A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr. Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and different kinds of creatures (生物) that live in this part of the sea. The F
34、lower Gardens are a long way from the shore and we spent three days on a boat. The team used a piece of underwater equipment called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to collect information. The ROV could measure (测量) water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to th
35、e boat. The ROV was great fun. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times. However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite frightened - mainly because I couldnt see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into th
36、e water, I wasnt afraid any more. It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 metres down.

41、ence projects. D Alfred Wegener was a scientist in the early 1900s. He had a strange theory. His theory was that 250 million years ago there was one giant continent (洲). He called the giant continent “Pangaea”. He thought Pangaea changed millions of years later. It started breaking up. The pieces of
42、 land slowly drifted (漂移) apart. They became the seven continents we know today. Wegener made many studies. He looked at world maps and thought that some continents were like puzzle pieces. They could fit together. He went to South America as well as Africa. He looked at mountains on both continents
43、. They would match if the continents were pushed together. Wegener found similar fossils (化石), plants and animals on both continents. Alfred Wegener called his theory “continental drift”. In 1912, he told other scientists about his theory. Most thought Wegener was crazy. They didnt believe huge piec
44、es of land could move. Later, other scientists did more studies. They discovered that continents are actually moving all the time. 7 Scientists know that the surface of Earth is not one piece. They think its broken into large pieces of hard rock called tectonic plates (地壳板块). Scientists believe ther
45、e are 30 tectonic plates on Earth and the continents lie on top of them. Under Earths surface is the mantle (地幔). The mantle is a layer (层) of rock about 2,900 km thick. The temperature rises to 3,700 at the bottom of the mantle. The heat causes the mantle to become hot, molten (熔化 的) rock which flo
46、ws around. The tectonic plates float like rafts on top of the hot, molten rock but they move very slowly - only about 4 inches (10 cm) each year. Since continents lie on top of the tectonic plates, they also float, or move. Today, scientists know the continents are still moving. Alfred Wegeners theo
47、ry was proved correct. 36. What does a theory in the first paragraph mean in this article? A. An idea based on studies. B. An opinion based on a feeling. C. A correct answer to a question. D.A wrong answer to a question. 37. What was the name of Alfred Wegeners theory? A. Pangaea B. Continental drif
48、t. C. Tectonic lates.D. Continental plates. 38. Where did Alfred Wegener find clues to prove his theory? A. Only in Africa. B. All over the world. C. Only in South America. D. In both Africa and South America. 39. What did scientists in the early 1900s think about Wegeners theory? A. They agreed wit
49、h him. B. They thought it was crazy. C. They copied his idea right away.D. They gave him praise for it. 40. Why do scientists think continents can move? A. The heat of the tectonic plates causes continents to move. B. The movement of ocean water causes the continents to move. C. Continents are huge pieces of land that can be pushed together. D. Continents lie o
