Dad is a liar （说谎者）, definitely.

He never tells the truth about anything   36  , or anything that he thinks is bad to me, even though I   37  that I don’t mind hearing these things.

He is the kindest man I have ever met , who never   38  others, as well as the    39  man, for he’s always hard on himself. Every time I   40  home from college and asked Dad how his   41  was getting on, he would always reply. “Oh, couldn’t be   42  !”when I asked my mum the same question on the phone ,   43  , she honestly told me every   44  with Dad’s business.

Dad is a miser (吝啬鬼), undoubtedly..

I hardly see Dad wear   46  clothes. In fact , his closet is half empty. Even in this half, two-thirds is occupied by Mum’s clothes and the other   47    belongs to him . I urged him to buy some new clothes ,   48  the simply shook his head, “The old clothes are still good enough.” Were they? I saw   49  in them.

It   50  my heart up when I saw had Dad  51  terribly with his hand covering his mouth. When the pains became unbearable, he   52  took some pills.

So it surprised   53   when the day came that Dad got sick . He was lying in bed. And all the family gathered around him. I knelt （跪）by his bedside , tears filling my eyes.

Dear Dad, you’ve been   54  yourself too hard, which you should not have. I know I might as well   55  a river to flow backward as hope to talk you out of working so hard. But I still want to say . “Dad , take better care of yourself!”

Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”. Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few .

　　 For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question 'What is at the bottom of the oceans?' had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile (起伏形状 ) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured. 

　　 It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测深 ) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea. 

　　 The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.

　　Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.

　68. The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly _________.

　A) for oceanographic studies

　B) for military purposes

 C) for business considerations

　D) for investigating the depths of the oceans

69. The aim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was __________.

　A) to make some sound experiments in the oceans

　B) to collect samples of sea plants and animals

　C) to estimate the length of cable that was to be made

　D) to measure the depths of two oceans

70. 'Defied' in the 4th paragraph probably means ________

　A)   doubted        B)  gave proof to

　C)   challenged     D)  agreed to

71. This passage is mainly about _________

　A) the beginnings of oceanography
