Cousteau Remembered
Jacques-Ives Coustean died in Paris on 26 June, 1997 at the age of 87. His influence is great. Scientists respected his creative engineering; engineers praised his science. Coustean, who claimed to be neither scientist nor engineer, contributed significantly to both disciplines — and to many more.
Throughout his adventure-filled life, Coustean challenged definitions. Yes, he was a captain in the French Navy, and early on, a filmmaker and natural storyteller. Later, he became a famous ocean explorer, designer of underwater equipment, expedition leader, author, speaker, businessman, environmentalist, teacher and leader of an influential organization (the Cousteau Society).
All who care about the sea — and even those who don’t think much about the ocean one way or another — owe Coustean a tremendous debt. The knowledge gained as a consequence of his direct contributions, and the strong others, have transformed the way the world thinks about the sea. His stories, of encounters with sharks and other fish inspired many to go see themselves. Coustean pioneered ventures in underwater living in the 1960’s: sub-sea labs where scientists submerged for days or weeks — the underwater labs similar to skylab or the space station. His films and television programmes won two Academy Rewards, three Emnies, and the hearts and minds of viewers worldwide for decades.
Showered with honours, Cousteau remarked recently that he thought his most important accomplishment was to make people aware of— and care about — the ocean. Thanks to him, we grew concerned about our growing population and the consequences of over fishing and ocean pollution that threaten the health of the sea, and we were inspired to do something to improve the way things are done.
We shared the sad feeling with Cousteau when Simone, his wife and partner for many years, died and when his son Phillippe was killed in a plane crash. We shared his joy when Jean Michael, his eldest son, became an explorer and a spokesman for the sea in his own right. We were happy for Coustean when he began a new family with his second wife, Fracine. And now that his voice of the ocean is silenced, we feel very sad.
选项
A、was both a scientist and an engineer
B、invented skylab
C、made contributions to science and engineering
D、was a captain in the French Navy
答案
C
解析
备选项A和c在用词上有关系,因此重点注意A和C,借助A和C中出现的核心词 scientist (science) 和 engineer (engineering) 作为答案线索,注意题干中的修饰词great,这样发现答案相关句:Jacques-Ives Coustean died in Paris on 26 June,1997 at the age of 87.His influence is great.Scientists划线句说“科学家们崇拜他富有创造性的工程学研究,工程师们赞扬他的科学成就”,可见Jacques-Ives Cousteau给科学和工程学都带来了深远的影响。因此判断C是答案。
