　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　In the old days，divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk because they hoped to find gold and jewels.Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships，but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves，or parts of them.The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years，it may be worth a great deal.

　　The "Andrea Doria" is a valuable ship lying on the seabed.It is an Italian passenger ship which sank in 1956 after a collision with a Swedish ship.The ship itself was worth at least $30，000，000 and in addition it was carrying over $4，800，000 and many other valuable things.There is one silver object which is worth over $1，200，000.But the ship is lying in deep water which is very dark and cold.As strong current also sweeps past the ship，so far divers have been unsuccessful.

　　1．The underlined word"current"in the second paragraph means________．

　　A．lots of money　　　　　　 B．air

　　解析：选D。词义猜测题。船只沉没海底，自然是强烈的"水流"流经船只，故选D项。
