Shortly
after
her
husband
had
been
elected
president,
Jacqueline
Kennedy
was
taken
on
a
visit
to
the
White
House.
She
was
amazed.
Deeply
attracted
to
the
history
of
the
presidency,
she
believed
that
as
an
American
treasure
the
White
House
was
25
of
care
and
impressive
presentation.
The
First
Lady
went
to
work
to
restore
the
public
rooms
to
their
26
appearance,
organizing
the
White
House
Fine
Arts
Committee（委员会）to
carry
out
the
work.
She
also
set
up
the
White
House
Historical
Association（协会）,
which
published
the
first-ever
White
House
guidebook.
The
committee
used
27
from
the
sale
of
the
book
to
locate
historical
treasures
that
were
in
collections
throughout
the
country.
Mrs.
Kennedy
28
stressed
that
her
work
was
much
more
than
redecorating.
The
effort
was
a
work
of
“scholarship”
she
said.
Returning
Properties
of
presidents
such
as
Washington,
Lincoln,
and
Madison
to
the
White
House
was
one
of
the
committee’s
greatest
successes.
However,
Mrs.
Kennedy
did
not
stop
at
29
.
She
made
the
White
House
a
living
center
of
the
arts
by
welcoming
leading
artists,
writers,
and
entertainers.
The
White
House,
she
thought,
should
30
not
only
as
the
seat
of
political
power
in
the
United
States
but
also
as
one
og
the
country’s
chief
cultural
centers.
The
tradition
she
began
40
years
ago
continues
to
this
day.

three
passages.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
several
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
four
choices
marked
A,
B,
C
and
D.
Choose
the
one
that
fits
best
according
to
the
information
given
in
the
passage
you
have
just
read.
(A)
We
walked
in
so
quietly
that
the
nurse
at
the
desk
didn’t
even
lift
her
eyes
from
the
book.
Mum
pointed
at
a
big
chair
by
the
door
and
I
knew
she
wanted
me
to
sit
down.
While
I
watched
mouth
open
in
surprise,
Mum
took
off
her
hat
and
coat
and
gave
them
to
me
to
hold.
She
walked
quietly
to
the
small
room
by
the
lift
and
took
out
a
wet
mop.
She
pushed
the
mop
past
the
desk
and
as
the
nurse
looked
up,
Mum
nodded
and
said,
“Very
dirty
floors.”
“Yes,
I’m
glad
they’ve
finally
decided
to
clean
them,”
the
nurse
answered.
She
looked
at
Mum
strangely
and
said,
“But
aren’t
you
working
late ”
Mum
just
pushed
harder,
each
swipe
of
the
mop
taking
her
farther
and
farther
down
the
hall.
I
watched
until
she
was
out
of
the
sight
and
the
nurse
had
turned
back
to
her
writing
in
the
big
book.
After
a
long
time
Mum
came
back.
Her
eyes
were
shining.
She
quickly
put
the
mop
back
and
took
my
hand.
As
we
turned
to
go
out
the
door,
Mum
bowed
politely
to
the
nurse
and
said,
“Thank
you.”
Outside,
Mum
told
me,
“Dagmar
is
fine.
No
fever.”
“You
saw
her,
Mum ”
“Of
course.
I
told
her
about
the
hospital
rules,
and
she
will
not
expect
us
until
tomorrow.
Dad
will
stop
worrying
as
well.
It’s
a
fine
hospital.
But
such
floors!
A
mop
is
no
good.
You
need
a
brush.”

Scientists
study
the
ocean
in
many
different
ways.
Although
many
marine(海洋的)
scientists
focus
on
animals
in
the
ocean,
others
seek
to
gain
a
better
understanding
of
the
ocean’s
chemical
and
physical
components
(组成部分).
Scientists
are
learning
a
great
deal
about
the
natural
and
human-caused
processes
that
shape
the
ocean
and
its
many
life
forms.
Much
of
the
present
research
focuses
on
how
human
activity
influences
the
ocean.
Clean
water
is
a
limited
resource,
and
ocean
pollution
does
harm
to
plant
and
animal
health.
Some
scientists
are
now
studying
ocean
water
to
find
out
just
how
contaminated
it
is.
Scientists
are
also
working
on
new
methods
to
estimate
the
presence
of
poisons
in
the
ocean,
which
will
help
them
develop
better
techniques
for
cleaning
up
the
water.
Others
look
at
how
sea
living
things
get
used
to
poisons
because
poisonous
sea
life
has
an
effect
on
humans
too.
For
example,
some
seafood
is
poisoned,
which
may
cause
a
threat
to
humans
who
eat
it.
Another
type
of
marine
scientist
tries
to
learn
more
about
the
history
of
the
ocean.
Understanding
the
ocean’s
past
tells
scientists
more
about
its
patterns
and
cycles
today
and
in
the
future.
The
ocean’s
past,
which
is
recorded
by
deposits
(沉淀物)
in
the
ocean
floor,
helps
scientists
understand
such
important
matters
as
global
climate
change
and
other
environmental
differences.
The
more
researchers
learn
about
the
history
of
the
ocean
and
its
relation
to
climatic
and
environmental
changes,
the
more
likely
that
they
will
one
day
understand
what
causes
such
changes.
Other
scientists
are
concerned
with
understanding
how
ocean
systems
work.
The
word
systems
refers
to
all
the
conditions
and
elements
that
are
continually
changing
the
ocean.
Understanding
these
systems
is
necessary
to
protect
the
ocean
and
ensure
the
safety
of
its
life
forms.
The
cycles
of
ocean
life
also
have
an
enormous
effect
on
human
life;
for
example,
studying
coastal
waters
is
important
because
they
provide
much
of
the
fish
that
humans
eat.
Marine
geologists
are
earth
scientists
who
work
along
the
ocean
floor.
The
Ocean
Drilling
Program,
a
20-nation
effort,
drills
the
ocean
floor
and
removes
material
for
study.
Among
other
achievements,
this
program
has
found
evidence
of
a
giant
meteorite
impact
(流星撞击)，which
supports
the
theory
that
dinosaurs
died
out
after
the
earth
suffered
a
climate
change
caused
by
a
crash
with
a
large
meteor.
Other
marine
geologists
focus
on
more
recent
events,
such
as
the
destruction
of
shorelines.
48.
The
word
“contaminated”
in
paragraph
2
probably
means
“_______”.
A.
powerful
B.
enormous
C.
limited
D.
polluted
49.
We
know
from
the
passage
that
ocean
waters
are
important
to
human
life
because
they_____.
A.
mirror
the
history
of
the
mighty
ocean
B.
show
climatic
and
environmental
changes
C.
are
source
of
the
fish
people
consume
D.
are
the
evidence
of
the
changes
of
the
ocean
50.
According
to
the
passage,
we
can
know
that
one
focus
of
marine
geology
is
______.
A.
the
destruction
of
the
ocean
plants
B.
the
form
of
the
ocean
floor
C.
the
development
of
ocean
living
things
D.
the
history
of
the
ocean

the
following
can

the
main
idea
of
the
passage
A.
Saving
the
ocean
from
destruction
B.

C.
