Choose the ONE you think is the best answer. Mark your choice by blacking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. The sea is the largest unknown part of our world. It covers seventy-one percent of the earth. There is still much to be discovered about this vast blanket of water. One of the most interesting projects in oceanography(海洋学) is the work of mapping the ocean floor. Only a very small part of it has been mapped. This was not important when only surface ships sailed the worlds oceans, but it can mean the difference between life and death to men in submarines(潜艇).Long ago there was only one way to find out how deep the ocean was. A seaman could throw a weighted rope over the side of his ship. Then he pulled the rope up after it had reached the bottom. But this was not a very exact way of measuring.In the twentieth century a better way was found. Sound was used to measure the ocean. An American Navy ship sailed into a narrow strip of water to conduct an experiment. Seamen dropped a number of devices that would burst with a loud noise when they hit the bottom. And a little instrument that had been invented measured the time it took for the sound to reach the ship. This has helped oceanographers map the ocean floor.Underwater photography is also important in mapping parts of the ocean floor. With the new methods that have been perfected, cameras can take pictures of the underwater valleys, even in color.16.The sea covers _.
