问题 单项选择题

文化与文明______。文化先生于文明,文化是文明的基础,没有文化就没有文明;文明孕育着文化。文明是文化的显现,是文化发展到高级阶段的特征。人类社会从野蛮到文明,靠的是文化进步。正如恩格斯所说:“最初的、从动物界分离出来的人,在一切本质方面是和动物一样不自由的;但是,文化上的每一进步都是迈向自由的一步。”
填入画横线部分最恰当的一项是( )。

A.相辅相成
B.意义相同
C.息息相关
D.彼此不分

答案

参考答案:C

解析: “相辅相成”指两件事物互相配合,互相辅助,缺一不可。文化和文明并不是这种相互辅助的关系。由“文化是文明的基础”、“文明孕育着文化”可知文化和文明息息相关,“意义相同”和“彼此不分”不能说明两者的关系。故选C。

单项选择题

The ocean bottom—a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth —is a vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space.
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation’s Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP’s drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983. During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world. The Glomar Challenger’s core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’s voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth.
The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the world’s past climates. Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change—information that may be used to predict future climates.

The word "strength" underlined in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______.

A.basis

B.purpose

C.discovery

D.endurance
