Oceanography has been defined as "the
application of all sciences to the study of the sea". Before the nineteen
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 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 o A. an academic aspect B. a military aspect C. a business aspect D. an international aspect

[单项选择] Passage One
Much has been written about the
potential for management to become isolated from customers and employees. This
phenomenon often occurs not just within top management, but also within middle
management. I’ve seen this isolation phenomenon in many
companies. The symptoms are quite apparent: Managers spend a great deal of time
talking to themselves and studying operating numbers. They spend precious little
time with customers or with employees, trying to understand the system of the
business. And when they do spend time with them, they often do not probe deeply
into needs, concerns, and opportunities. This phenomenon, often referred to as
being "internally focused", can be tremendously insidious (隐伏陷害的).
Although the need for understanding and spending time with customers has
been well documented, I find few managers spendi A. managers do not make any efforts to ask for employees’ opinions B. managers seldom stay with customers to get information about business operation C. managers spend much time studying the digital data of their business operation D. managers make little contact with customers or employees

Custom has not been commonly regarded
as a subject of any great moment. The inner workings of our own brains we feel
to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking,
is behavior at its most commonplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way
around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a mass of detailed behavior
more astonishing than what, any one person can ever evolve in individual
actions, no matter how unusual. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the
matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom
plays in experience and in belief, and the very great varieties it may
manifest. No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes. He
sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of
thinking. Even in his philosophical probing he can A. custom can never be a subject of great moment B. only the inner workings of our brain is worthy of investigation C. custom plays a prominent role in our experience and in belief D. traditional customs are very astonishing
