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.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage concerning the expedition?
选项
A、Lack of navigation equipment.
B、Severe winter in Patagonia.
C、The death of Magellan.
D、Dangers from rocks and storms.
答案
A
解析
本题为推理题。此题可以用排除法。巴塔哥尼业寒冷的冬季,麦哲伦的死以及触礁和暴风雨的危险文中都有涉及,所以选A。
