The sea has always interested people. From it they can get food, minerals, and treasures. For thousands of years, they sailed on the sea. But they could not go far beneath its surface. People want to explore deep into the sea. However, they are not fishes. Because people must breathe air, they cannot stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, men and women face even more dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. Divers can wear diving suits and have air pumped to them from above. They can carry tanks of air on their back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water push against a diver deep in the sea. The diver’s body is under great pressure. When divers are under great pressure, their blood takes in some of the gases they breathe. As they rise too quickly, the gases in their blood form bubbles. Divers then suffer from the bends. The bends can cause divers to double up in pain. Bends can even kill divers. 71. A diver’s body in deep water ____. A. is under great pressure. B. is just like a fish’s body. C. suffers from the bends. D. weighs very little. 72. The story does not say so, but it makes you think that A. divers explore the deep seas only for treasure. B. diving under the water too quickly causes the bends. C. Divers can wear diving suits to avoid the bends. D. deep-sea divers should be in good health. 73. The gases in a diver’s blood can form A. great pressure. B. air. C. bubbles. D. oxygen 74.

A long time ago, when ancient Rome was still an empire, people of that time used similar weights and measures. The standards for these weights and measures were established by the Romans, who kept these standards in a temple in Rome. All standards for measuring weight or distance were the same, whether in Spain or in Syria. But then the Roman Empire fell, and these standards disappeared. Today, standards vary from place to place throughout the world. Tourists who drive from the United States in Canada, for example, are surprised when they buy gasoline for their cars. A gallon of gas costs more than they are accustomed to paying. They complain that prices are much higher in Canada than in the United States. Then they discover that they can drive farther on a Canadian gallon than on a United States gallon. Is it a different kind of gas? No, it is a different kind of gallon. Canada uses the British, or imperial, gallon that is about one-fifth larger than the United States gallon. Four quarts equal a gallon and two pints equal a quart in both countries. But Canada’s quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the United States. The imperial gallon equals 277.42 cubic inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to 231 cubic inches. Measured in ounces, Canada’s large gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States gallon holds no more than 128 fluid ounces. From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive farther on the Canadian gallon than on the American gallon. Someday, countries may follow the example of the ancient Romans and make weights and measures the same for every nation. 76. Canada has a different kind of____. A. gasoline. B. gallon C. tourist. D. driver 77. A gallon of gas in Canada costs more____. A. than Americans are used to paying. B. than the ancient Romans charged. C. than the imperial British like. D. than American tourists afford. 78. Which statement does the article lead you to believe? A. Americans should not travel so much. B. No one in Rome ever went to a temple. C. It would be good to use the same measures everywhere. D. Canada should reduce their price of gasoline. 79. Why are American tourists surprised? A. The price of a Canadian gallon of gas seems high. B. They didn’t know Canada sold gasoline. C. They weigh more in Canada than in the United States. D. Canada has a shortage of gasoline. 80. On the whole, the article tells about____. A. standards for measures in the world. B. cubic inches in the Roman Empire. C. surprised tourists in Canada. D. the gallon in the United States and Canada.
