三、阅读理解（本题共20分，每小题1分）
(A)
It was three o’clock. A man was walking down a high street in the north of England. He was wearing a dark suit and carrying a suitcase. His name was Terry and lived away from home for twenty years. In fact, he was in prison (监狱) abroad.
Terry was feeling totally depressed because everything in his hometown had changed. The park where he used to play was now a car park. The house where he was born had disappeared and in its place, ironically (具有讽刺意味地), was a bank. Terry wanted to have a cup of coffee in the old small restaurant where he used to go with his friend after school, but it had become a fast food restaurant. He entered it, sat down, and asked for a cup of coffee. Then he felt sadder when he thought of what he had seen.
While paying for the coffee, he found an old ticket in his wallet. It was for a pair of shoes he had taken to be repaired the day before the bank robbery 20 years ago. The shoe repairer was an old man then, so Terry was sure that he must be dead. But when he turned to the corner of the street, he couldn’t believe his eyes. The shop was still there! And it was the same shoe repairer! He looked about a hundred years old. Terry was so happy! Terry told him that he had lived in Australia for the past twenty years and that he forgot to pick up the shoes before he left England. The shoe repairer disappeared into the back of the shop. After ten minutes he came back.
“Yes!” said Terry, excitedly.

It was the last day of final examinations in a large Eastern university. On the steps of one building, some students of engineering gathered, discussing the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam—then on to graduation ceremony and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had; others of jobs they would get. With all this assurance （保证）of four years of college, they felt ready and able to fight against the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a little case（小事一桩）. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted. Requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test.
Then, they filled the classroom. The professor passed out the papers with smiles as the students noted there were only five questions.
Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. No one spoke as, papers in hand, the professor faced the class.
He found the worried faces before him, then asked, “How many finished all five questions?” Not a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students sat quietly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.”But the class stayed silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I expected,” he said.
“I just want to impress upon you that, even though you have finished four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are extremely common in everyday practice.” Then, smiling, he added: “You will all pass this , but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just begun.”
The years have lost the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.

Scientists used to explore on the surface（表面） of the ocean. Now they are exploring below the surface, too. They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.
In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3000 feet below the surface. In 1935 August Piccard dived 10330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35800 feet.
All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface. Little by little, they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet fo
