阅读下面短文,从每题所给四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Twenty Thousand Miles under the Sea is a fascinating tale of adventure with Captain Nemo(“No Name”) in his submarine(海下的) ship, the Nautilus. Jules Verne had been around ships and boats most of his life. But his first trip to America in 1867 was his first ocean voyage. The ship which carried Jules Verne from his native France was the Great Eastern, which was used to lay the first successful Atlantic cable(电缆) linking England and America the year before. Verne made the most of his opportunity. With his notebook, he followed the crew members around. What kind of submarine life had they caught? What kind of fish had they seen? What seaweeds? What shells? What did they know about the ocean's currents(洋流)? Its channels? Its depths and shallows? Six weeks later Verne was home again with his notebook filled on his voyage. He went aboard his little boats where he always wrote. On the desk were piles of papers on which he had attempted to design submarines. Surely, he thought, his next book was meant to be about life at the bottom of the sea, life in a submarine. Not a tiny, clumsy craft like all of them so far. Not a miserable model likely to bring death to men in it. It would be a giant undersea boat. It would have comfort yet undreamed of. Twenty Thousand Miles under the Sea appeared three years later. It delighted everyone. “A splendid story,” most readers said, “Utterly impossible, but exciting!”

阅读下面短文,根据下题的具体要求,简要回答问题.
The north magnetic pole(磁极)is no longer a resident of Canada.It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia.
Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole-the northern extremity of the Earth’s axis(地轴),the north magnetic pole(where the Earth’s magnetic field is directed downward)is moving due to natural changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, a process that originates about 3, 000 kilometers below our feet, in the outer core(核心)of the planet.But scientists are now noticing that the magnetic pole has picked up its pace.
Over the past century, the pole has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per year, says Larry Newitt, head of Geomagnetic Laboratory at Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa.Since the 1970s, this speed has increased to about 50 kilometers per year.
Scientists are wondering why the speed is increasing, says Newitt.One Hypothesis(假说)relates it to “magnetic jerks”, sudden shifts(变化)in the rate of change of the magnetic field.There have been three jerks in the past four decades, each one correlating to an increase in speed.
If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate, it could reach Siberia by 2056.
“For most of recorded history, the pole has been a part of Canada, and now it’s not,” says Newitt.“It may be a blow to our collective psyche, but other than that, it doesn’t have a major effect on most people’s existence.
1.Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “angling”.
2.What could happen to the north magnetic pole by the middle of the 21 century?(回答词数不超过8个)
3.What is the main idea of the passage?(回答词数不超过8个)
