For example ,we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who 19 after them.

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The journey two divers made some time ago to the very deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be discovered. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents or signs of life.
It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and be e easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.
The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers of water. In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise: even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water-pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them would make the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.
31. A diver is a person _____.
A. who studies plants and animals living underwater
B. who works under water in a special dress
C. who usually hides himself inside a small steel ball
D. whose job is to drive underwater vessels
32. The purpose of the two divers' journey to the deepest point on the earth is ___.
A. to see if humans can stand the severe cold at the bottom of the ocean
B. to investigate which part of the Pacific Ocean is the deepest
C. to make sure that there are no signs of life in the great depths
D. to find out if there are any ocean currents or living creatures there
33. The telephone stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet ____.
A. Where the warm and cold layers of water were divided
B. and thus the divers lost contact with their mother ship
C. and the temperature immediately dropped to freezing point
D. when a loud, cracking noise was suddenly heard inside the ball
34. The telephone began working again ___.
A. after the steel ball reached the bottom of the ocean
B. as soon as the divers went down to the depth of 30,000 feet
