新闻背景

For centuries the Atlantic Ocean prevented the people of Europe from discovering America. The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. (1)__________________. Even at its narrowest it is about 3 200 kmwide. Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also,it is the world's saltiest ocean. There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. (2)___________________________. In most places the water is little more than 3.2 km deep, but in some places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is almost 9.6 km deep. Today the Atlantic is a great highway. (3)_________________. We now have such fast ways of travelling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days now.


  1. It is more than 6 400 km wide where Columbus crossed it.
2. But suppose no more rain fell into itand no more water was brought to it byrivers, it would take the ocean about 4 000 years to dry up.
3. It is not, however, always a smooth and safe one.    

新闻背景:

世纪大西洋海洋阻止欧洲人发现美国。大西洋只有太平洋的一半大,但它仍然是非常大的。(1)__________________。即使是最窄处约为3200kmwide。大西洋有两点海洋相当不寻常的。如此大的一个海洋少有岛屿。此外,它是世界上最咸的海洋。大西洋有那么多水,很难想象有多少的。(2)___________________________。在大多数地区,水是很少超过3.2公里深,但在某些地方更深。最深的地方是几乎9.6公里深。今天的大西洋是一个伟大的公路。(3)_________________。我们现在有如此快的旅行方式,这个大洋似乎变得更小了。哥伦布航行超过2个月越过它。一个现代的汽船可使之旅在少于四天。

 

1。这是超过6400公里宽的哥伦布穿越。

2。但是假如不再有雨水落下,没有更多的水被带到这byrivers,它将采取大约4000年干了。

3。它不是,但是,总是平稳安全的。
