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.

According to the passage, Coustean's influence is great because he ______.

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

Scientists used to explore on the surface of the ocean.(46). They want to know about the ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean.

In 1934, the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935, Auguste Piccard dived 10,330 feet. In 1960, his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet.

All these early dives were deep. (47). They had to come back up to the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. Gradually, they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.

(48). With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks. In 1962, Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964, he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.(49).

Many countries are now studying undersea living.(50). The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Islands. In 1970, five men lived there for two weeks. Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. Next came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources.

(46)

A. This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface.

B. But the divers could not stay down for very long.

C. Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there.

D. Now they are exploring below the surface, too.

E. The Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea.

F. Now scientists are developing even better equipment.

THE WORLDWIDE POPULATION OF ALL SPECIES OF SEALS IS ABOUT 28 MILLION YET THE WORLDWIDE POPULATION OF DOMESTIC HOUSE CATS IS ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 80 MILLION THE HOUSE CAT POPULATION OF THE US ALONE CONSUMES 2. 9 MILLION TONS OF FISH EACH YEAR. THIS MEANS THAT SOUTH AFRICA"S ENTIRE ANNUAL CATCH OF FISH IS ONLY 17 PER CENT OF THIS 2. 9-MILLION-TON REQUIREMENT AS SEAL CONSERVATIONIST FRANCOIS HUGO OF SOUTH AFRICA PUTS IT, "WE ARE DESTROYING OUR INDIGENOUS NATURAL WILDLIFE TO FEED AN UNCHECKED EXOTIC DOMESTIC PET MARKET.
