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.
The passengers______when the ship was heavily rolling.
选项
A、slept well
B、could drink a lot of water
C、had to stay below deck
D、had a big room of more than 5 foot high
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“There were no toilets,and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during gales were often not more than 5 foot high.”可知,刮大风时,乘客们不得不待在甲板下面不足5英尺高的地方,故C项正 确,D项错误。而选项A、B与航海生活艰苦相悖,故选C。
