问题 What can we infer from the fact that the world was perceived as flat?
What does the author mean by "turn it into riches"(Paragraph 1)?
选项 A、Make lots of profits.
B、Make the land more fertile.
C、Help poor people become richer.
D、Turn the land into an area of gold.
答案A
解析 语义理解题。文章首段最后两句指出"那些能够做到这些的人探知地球形状的真相，并 turn it in to riches。西班牙人知道自己不会从一个平面地球的边缘掉下去，他们发现了新大陆并将黄金白银带回西班牙"。可以看出后一句是对前一句的进一步解释说明，由此可以推知这里turn it into riches与后句中的brought gold and silver back to Spain意思相近，故"获利"是正确选项。
