Question

阅读理解 Fishy Film Goes Deeper 　　Avatar director James Cameron is now taking his camera deep into the ocean． 　　On March 25, he did a lone submarine(潜水艇)dive nearly 11 kilometers down to the deepest place in the ocean, the Mariana Trench(马里亚纳海沟)in the western Pacific． 　　Compared with the colorful forest of Avatar, the Mariana Trench is dark and icy cold．Cameron became the first person to explore the deepest valley in the ocean since two men made a 20-minute trip there in 1960． 　　“I felt like I really had gone to another planet and come back,” Cameron told the Associated Press after returning from his dive．“It's really the sense of isolation(与世隔绝), realizing how tiny you are down in this big, black and unexplored place．” 　　The filmmaker has spent the past few years working with his team of engineers to design and build the submarine call Deep-sea Challenger．Unlike ordinary submarines, it is wrapped in cameras and lights so that Cameron can film the ocean from the inside． 　　The minute-long video that Cameron took while under the sea has been released by the National Geographic．There are no words in the video, but there is something fascinating about this extremely quiet and remote place．Cameron said he was thankful that he of all people had had the chance to go there． 　　“There had to be a moment where I just stopped, and took it in, and said,′This is where I am; I'm at the bottom of the ocean, the deepest place on Earth．What does that mean?” Cameron told reporters． 　　The Mariana Trench was once thought to be of little interest to scientists．It was assumed that nothing could live under so much pressure and with so little light．But in recent years scientists have found creatures there like fish and shrimps that can resist the heavy pressure．They are also trying to figure out what role deep-sea trenches play in earthquakes． 　　Cameron told the BBC that he does not want this dive to be a one-time thing．He wants to use it as a platform for further ocean exploration． (1) What is the point of the passage? [　　] A． To inform readers of Cameron's adventure to the Mariana Trench． B． To report on the successful launch of the “Deep-sea Challenger”． C． To introduce Cameron's latest video filmed in the Mariana Trench． D． To draw public attention to the Mariana Trench． (2) It can be inferred from the passage that when Cameron reached the Mariana Trench, ________． [　　] A． he felt worried and isolated B． he was anxious about his safety C． he was surprised by what he experienced D． he was excited that he had occupied the ocean (3) How does the “Deep-sea Challenger” differ from ordinary submarines? [　　] A． It is more comfortable than an ordinary submarine． B． It is much heavier that an ordinary submarine． C． It is specially designed for filming under the sea． D． It is the only one allowing people to see the outside． (4) Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? [　　] A． The role that deep-sea trenches play in earthquakes is still unknown． B． Cameron is the first person to have explored the Mariana Trench so far． C． Scientists don't think that the Mariana Trench is of much scientific value． D． There are no creatures living in the Mariana Trench due to its special conditions．
