问题     Stowe and his girlfriend Ahmad started a voyage on a 20-metre ship on Saturday afternoon. They want the voyage to take them three times around the earth and last 1,000 days without a stop.
    Stowe has already had many different sailing(航行)voyages in all kinds of weather, but his 23-year-old girlfriend has never sailed outside the Hudson River.
    " This will be my first time sailing ever—except for up and down the Hudson River," said Ahmad.
    If they make it, their time away from land will beat the 657 days spent at sea by Jon Sanders from Australia. Jon Sanders went around the earth three times from 1986 to 1988.
    Stowe plans to sail into the north Atlantic(大西洋)before heading south of the Equator(赤道). After passing the Equator and before passing Cape Horn, he plans to sail around the south Atlantic. "This is a voyage that takes heart," he said.
    Every corner of the ship is filled with food. They also have a small library of books on different subjects, such as works of Joseph Conrad and every book written by Herman Melville.
How long did Stowe and Ahmad plan to travel?

选项 A、20 days.
B、657 days.
C、1,000 days.

答案C

解析 句意:斯托维和阿玛德打算航行多久?细节题。从文章第一段第二行的“around theearth and last 1000 days without a stop”可以得知,他们此次航行持续时间是1000天,故C选项符合题意。
