试题要求:

Before the 20th century, the measuring of the depth of the sea was_____.

试题解析:
答案:A
解析:

  20世纪以前,测量海洋深度是什么样的。定位到文中第五段的第一句和最后一句,“Long ago there was only one way to find out how deep the ocean was.”,“But this was not a very accurate way of measuring.”,时间的节点在第六段的第一句,“In the 20th century, a better way was found.”在20世纪之后,才找到一个更好的测量办法,第五段的第一句和最后一句也提到,在此之前只有一种测量海洋深度的方法,但这种测量方法不是特别的精准,故选A。
