【原文】

Part of Earth's beauty comes from its oceans. Ocean scientists study the chemical make-up of the ocean, weather patterns, the geography of the ocean floor, and many other areas. Their work is exciting, although sometimes dangerous. Using technology to do certain tasks helps. For example, robotic arms are used for very dangerous tasks.

One basic part of ocean study is understanding waves and how they work. Wind is the great maker of waves. The waves we know are mostly produced by winds blowing over the sea. They are directly connected with the wind speed and the time that wind lasts.

The diagram of waves

Sometimes ocean life can be seen in the wave. Living things seem to be staying within the wave, moving slowly inside it as if they were weightless. Besides the beauty of waves, scientists are interested in their technical ways. The diagram of waves shows how scientists examine waves. Waves are measured (测量) from the top(crest) to the bottom(trough). This allows scientists to find out the height of a wave. They also measure waves from crest to crest to determine(测定) the length of a wave.

During serious storms, huge waves might cut a sea ship apart. Ships are at great risk of winding up as broken pteces after being hit by the force of a huge wave. By understanding the ocean, scientists can prevent this breakup of ships by predicting when the water will be too dangerous for people and their- ships. The study of waves and the ocean also allows scientists to make sure how certain beaches were formed. By studying the oceans, a great deal can be learned about the surface we live on.

【王老师翻译小课堂助理解】

地球的部分美箱海洋。海科家研究海化学组成、天气模式、海洋板块地地理以及许多其它的领域。他们的工作虽然有时很危险，但很刺激。使用科技来完成某些任务是有帮助的。例如，机械臂被用于非常危险的任务。

海洋研究的一个基本部分是理解海浪及其工作原理。风是海浪的伟大制造者。我们知道的海浪主要由海上刮的风引起的。它们与风速和风持续的时间直接相关。

有时，海浪中可以看见海洋生物物。生物似乎停留在波浪中，在波浪中缓慢移动，仿佛它们没有重量似的。除了海浪之美，科学家们对他们的技术方法也很感兴趣。海浪是从顶部(波峰)到底部（波谷）测量出来的。这使科学家们能够计算出海浪的高度。他们还从波峰到波峰来测定海浪的长度。

在严重的暴风雨中，巨浪可能会把海船劈裂。船只冒着被巨浪冲击后被劈成碎片的巨大风险。通过对海洋的了解，科学家们可以通过预测海水何时会对人类和船只有巨大危险来防止船只解体。对海浪和海洋的研究也科们能确某些使科学家们能够确定某些海滩是如何形成的。通过研究海洋，我们可以了解我们居住的海洋表面的许多情况。

【题目解析】

第一题：从第一段最后一句“For example, robotic arms are used for very dangerous tasks.”可以得知答案。

第二题：整个第二段都在告诉第二题的答案，特别是“Wind is the great maker of waves. The waves we know are mostly produced by winds blowing over the sea. ”这几句话。

第三题：有两种做题方法。

方法一是可以从图表中找到答案，如翻译后的下图：

方法二是也可以从第三段“Waves are measured (测量) from the top(crest) to the bottom(trough). This allows scientists to find out the height of a wave.”中获取答案。

第四题：

第一句文章中没有提到，不可以选择。

第二句从第三段的第一句话“Sometimes ocean life can be seen in the wave. ”可以得知是错误的。

第四句和第五句从最后一段的倒数第一和第二句话“The study of waves and the ocean also allows scientists to make sure how certain beaches were formed. By studying the oceans, a great deal can be learned about the surface we live on.”可以得知是正确的，应该选择。

第五题：判断文章体裁要根据文章内容。
