There was little reason to ask many questions about it, let al

17、one to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question "What is at the bottom of the ocean?" had to answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engines had to know the depth profile of the route t

18、o estimate the length of cable that had to manufactured. It was to Maury of the US Navy that Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which sounding were taken to investigate the depths of the

25、ou should give brief answers the 5questions (No. 36 to No. 40). The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers onthe Answer Sheet. A strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything derived from animals. The main objection to vegetarianism on a long-term basis is the d

26、ifficulty to getting enough protein -the body-building element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days or weeks (say, for religious reasons) you will have noticed that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast is over and you get your

27、reward of an abundant meat meal. Proteins are built up from approximately twenty food elements called “amino-acids", which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of the

28、se amino acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism. The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food.

29、However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams of protein a day, has to consume a greater bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it

30、must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day.36. Why is the long-term vegetarianism objected to according to the passage?_37.
