问题     It was not much fun to travel on one of the old sailing ships. Life was hard for both passengers and crew. In the 17th century, sailing ships were small and roiled(摇荡)heavily in rough seas, so most of the passengers were seasick.
    There were no toilets, and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during gales(狂风)were often not more than 5 foot high. Water was scarce and the little water they got was brown and smelt terrible.
    Food was a problem, too—there was only salted meat, ship ’ s biscuits and cheese, but the cheese was so hard that sailors often made buttons out of it for their jackets and trousers. There were no vegetables or fruit, so the people on board often fell ill.
    The sailors, however, were a bit better off than the passengers. They each had a bottle of beer a day, and they needed. The work they had to do was hard and dangerous. Courage was needed, for the heavy sails had to be set and taken down in all kinds of weather, and quite often sailors were swept overboard in a gale. Almost the worst thing about the voyages was the time they took up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, everybody was overjoyed when they at last approached land and stepped ashore. But some ships never arrived.  
Which of the following statements is true?
选项 A、The sailors often had to set the sails in bad weather.
B、The sailors had no courage.
C、The sailors were happy to be swept overboard in a strong wind.
D、A 70-day-journey across the Atlantic was the sailors’ happiest thing.
答案A
解析 推理判断题。最后一段第三、四句提到船员们不管在什么样的天气下， 都必须启航，经常被大风吹到甲板上，所以需要勇气，工作也十分辛苦，故A项正确， B、C项错误。根据最后一段第五句“Almost the worst thing about the voyages was the time they took up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic. ”可知，D项错误。故选A。
