1．文章主题分析：Cousteau remembered
Jacques-Ives Cousteau 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．Cousteau，who claimed to be neither scientist nor engineer，contributed significantly to both disciplines—and to many more．
从上面的划线句可以看出：Cousteau是一个对工程学影响很大的一个科学家（专家）。
1． 直接解题：
1．According to the passage，Cousteau’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．
1． C。分析：借助前面对于文章标题的理解判断D不是答案，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 Cousteau 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．Cousteau，who claimed to be neither scientist nor engineer，contributed significantly to both disciplines—and to many more．该句揭示C是答案。
3． of all me careers he followed，his main concern was concentrated on
A)building the sub-water labs．来源：考试大
B)ocean and ocean pollution．
C)making films and television programs．来源：考试大
D)writing encounters （遭遇）with sea animals，such as sharks.
3． B. 分析：问题问及main concern（主要的关注内容）， 利用该词作为答案线索，同时注意被选项中出现的核心词/特征词，这样发现答案相关句：
A11 who care about the sea—and even those who don’t think much about the ocean one way or another一owe Cousteau 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 （D）inspired many to go see themselves．Cousteau pioneered ventures in underwater living in the 1960’s：sub—sea labs （A）where scientists submerged for days or weeks．．．——the underwater labs （A）similar to Skylab or the space station．His films and television programmes （C）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．（揭示海洋是Cousteau的研究中心）Thanks to him, we grew concerned about our growing population and the consequences of overfishing and ocean pollution that threaten the health of the sea，and we were inspired to do something to improve the way things are done．该句暗示海洋污染也是Cousteau的研究内容，所以判断答案是B。
4．What debt do we owe Cousteau according to Paragraphs 3 and 4？

B)His contributions have pushed science toward a higher stage of development．
c)His invention of sub-sea labs has made ocean exploration easier．
D)His adventures have made people go and see the sea．
4．A． 分析：该句问“Cousteau 对我们作出了什么贡献”，借助句子中出现的debt 和owe作为答案线索，并注意被选项中出现的核心结构，这样发现答案相关句：
A11 who care about the sea—and even those who don’t think much about the ocean one way or another一owe Cousteau 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．（该句只说Cousteau的贡献是改变了人们对海洋的看法。）His stories of encounters with sharks and other fish inspired many to go see themselves．Cousteau 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( 与题干的结构“the debt we owe Cousteau”呼应 ), we grew concerned about our growing population and the consequences of overfishing and ocean pollution that threaten the health of the sea，and we were inspired to do something to improve the way things are done．该句揭示答案应该是A。
