阅读中难点句型：

三、 强调句----主语、宾语、状语被强调It is that…
四、 被动句----基本结构 A is done by B
五、 倒装句----否定词 hardly,rarely,seldom,never,not until,not only 导致句子倒装

注：1.Oceanography 由 Ocean (海洋) 和 graphy (学科)组成意味着“海洋学”
2.application 表示“申请”用介词for,表示“应用”用介词to
3.第一句定义某件事叫做章节定义，必须是文章的主题
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 (不愿) to go to sea to further his work.
注：1.第二段：在19世纪之前，很少有科学家对海洋感兴趣。可以推断，本文根据时间顺序描述了海洋学发展的过程
2.further 跟在 to 后面是个动词，表示“推进”
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.
注：1. remote 遥远的
2. and with...多重复合句
3. intercontinental 洲际的 (Inter 在之间，continent 大洲)
4. let alone 更不用说……
5. first time 从不感兴趣到感兴趣 ，谓语是 was
6. 第二句that引导同位语从句，when引导表语从句，整句意思是“当有人建议根据商业目的在美国和欧洲之间铺设电报电缆时，人们会问：海底是什么？”
7.route 路线 router 路由器
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.
注：1. it was ...that...强调句型
2. turn to sb. for sth. 向某人请教某事
3. 问题中划线词：Maury,1840s
3. investigate 调查，测量
