It was years since I had visited my hometown and I was determined to enjoy my stay. I went to see my old friend, Tom Clark, who, among other things, was a member of the Local Council. At the time Tom was busy making arrangements for a distinguished writer to give a talk on modern literature at the town library. As the subject interested me a great deal, I gladly accepted Tom?s invitation to go with him.
Tom was going to introduce the guest speaker and that evening we went to the library to meet him. Since
he had not yet arrived, I left Tom and went to the Reading Room where a large audience had already gathered. I was disappointed to find that I did not know a single person there. Just before the talk was due to begin, I saw Tom waving to me from the doorway. I went to him immediately, as he looked very worried. He explained that he had just received a telephone message from the writer?s secretary. Our guest had missed the train and would be unable to come! While we were thinking about the problem, Tom suddenly asked me if I would mind acting as a speaker. I hardly had time to think about the matter when I found I was being led into the Reading Rom to address the waiting audience!

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 and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings. But he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.
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 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 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.
66. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take
on_____.
C. a business aspect
67. It was _____ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies. D. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable
68. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _____. D. to measure the depths of the two oceans
69. ? Defied ? in the 5th paragraph probably means ___ . C. challenged ? 70. This passage is mainly about ___
