It was not much fun to travel on one of the old sailing ships. Life was hard for both passengers and crew. 17th century sailing ships were small and rolled 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 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.
In the 17th century______.
选项
A、life on old sailing ships was enjoyable
B、people enjoyed sailing old ships in rough seas
C、most of the passengers felt comfortable when the ship was rolling
D、it was very painful for both passengers and crew during the voyage
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据文章第一段第二句可知,早期在海上航行不管是对船员还是乘客来说都是艰难的,所以选项D(在航行中,对丁船员和乘客来说都是非常痛苦的)符合文章内容。选项A(航行生活很舒适)、选项B(人们喜欢乘坐旧船在波涛汹涌的海上航行)和选项C(大多数乘客觉得在海上航行比较舒服)与文章内容不符。故本题选D。
