2023年高考英语最新热点时文阅读：通过技术找到世界上最令人瞩目的沉船之一 An expedition led by polar geographer John Shears recently discovered the Endurance, 由极地地理学家约翰·谢尔斯带领的探险队近期发现了 “坚忍号”， the lost ship of famed British explorer Ernest Shackleton on the floor of the Weddell Sea of Antarctica. 这艘原属于著名英国探险家欧内斯特·沙克尔顿的失落之船是在南极洲威德尔海的海底被发现的。 Technology was the reason that we found the wreck this time. 这次是技术帮助我们发现了该残骸。 Starting with a state-of-the-art ship that could cut through thick ice, 首先是一艘能够切开厚厚冰层的最先进的船， and satellite imagery that helped locate the general area where in 1915 Shackleton and his 27-member crew last saw the ship disappear into the ice. 以及卫星图像帮助我们定位了1915年沙克尔顿和他的27名船员最后看到船消失在冰层中的大致区域。 They left on lifeboats and all survived. 他们乘坐救生艇离开，都活了下来。 Having radar, satellite imagery was very important to us, so we knew exactly what the sea ice was doing. 拥有雷达、卫星图像对我们非常重要，这样我们清楚地知道海冰的情况。 And we could plot our direction and route through the sea ice. 而且我们可以在海冰中规划我们的方向和路线。 Humans cannot dive safely in the area, so the team sent an underwater robot to scan the seabed using sonar to look for anomalies. 人类无法安全地潜入该区域，所以团队派出了一个水下机器人，使用声纳扫描海床，寻找异常情况。 The team tethered the robot to the boat to prevent its loss. 团队将机器人拴在船上，以防止其丢失。 As we were connected by a wire, we got real-time data feedback in the surface, and so you have cameras and you see what the vehicle is seeing. 因为电线连接，我们在海面上得到了实时的数据反馈，因为有摄像头，你可以看到机器人所看到的一切。 When the sonar detected something, it would send an alert to the team above who would activate their robots lights and cameras. 当声纳探测到什么时，它将向海上的团队发出警报，团队就激活机器人的灯光和摄像头。 This is how they got their first glimpse of the Endurance. 这样就首次看见了“坚忍号”的样貌。 Many believe the Endurance discovery is the most significant find since the discovery of the Titanic nearly 40 years ago, 许多人认为“坚忍号”的发现是自近40年前发现泰坦尼克号以来最重要的发现， and has now opened up a wealth of opportunities. 为我们提供了大量的机会。 The potential for 3D models or holographic representations, even for a replica ship. 我们看到了3D模型或全息像的可能，甚至是在复制船方面的潜力。 Shackleton died a hun
