Early in the 16th century men were trying to reach Asia by traveling west from Europe. In order to find Asia they had to find a way past South America. The man who eventually found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan.
Magellan sailed from Seville in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the severe winter on the coast of Patagonia, he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan’s Straits. In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.
They then continued, hoping to reach Asia. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the Philippines, Magellan was killed in battle. The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain. They decided to sail around Africa. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan’s expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world.
The best title for the passage is ______.
选项
A、The Discovery of the Magellan’s Straits
B、The Discovery of the Philippines
C、The Most Dangerous Expedition in Navigation
D、The First Expedition to Asia
答案
D
解析
本题为主旨题。文章的确提到了A、B两个选项的内容,但都是一笔带过,C项“航海史上最危险的远征”,文中并没有提到“最危险”这个字眼。而D项刚好在文章末尾点到了,强调了他们的远征是第一次。
