【題目】根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。
D
Christopher Columbus is famous because he found something he wasn't looking for.
In 1492, Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in order to reach India. What he found was something far different. He found the New World. How did this come about? It all started in Italy.
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa in 1451. His family didn't have a lot of money, and Christopher wasn't an only child. He didn't have much of an education until he was much older. Instead, he went to sea. He sailed around the Mediterranean(地中海) and as far north as England and Ireland.
During his travels, Columbus heard the reports of land to the west of the Madeira and Azores Islands. They were in the Atlantic Ocean west of Portugal. He wanted to know more and got maps and books on geography.
Marco Polo said that Japan was only 1,500 miles east of China. As a result, Columbus thought that Japan was only 3,000 miles west of Portugal. And 3,000 miles was a distance that ships could travel in those days.
So, Columbus decided that he wanted to get to the East by going west. He thought that if he sailed far enough west, he would sail around the world enough to reach the East. Based on his calculations(計(jì)算), Japan was only 3,000 miles away, after all.
（1）Where did Columbus want to go when he sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492?
A.America.
B.India.
C.Japan.
D.China.
（2）Which of the following is true according to the third paragraph?
A.There were many people in Columbus' family.
B.Columbus was an only boy of his parents.
C.Columbus did well in school when he was young.
D.Columbus once traveled to Ireland.
（3）During his travels, Columbus was interested in .
A.geography
B.physics
C.chemistry
D.history
（4）We can infer from the passage that .
A.Columbus had a dream to visit America
B.Marco Polo was a great traveler from Portugal
C.Columbus had the idea that earth was round
D.nobody believed Columbus could reach China
（5）The passage is mainly about .
A.Columbus's childhood
B.the reports of Azores Islands
C.how Columbus began his sail
D.what Marco Polo said in his book

【答案】
（1）B
（2）D
（3）A
（4）C
（5）C
【解析】1.文章第二行In 1492, Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in order to reach India.1492年,哥倫布橫渡大西洋為了到達(dá)印度。故選B。2.文章第三段的大意：克里斯托弗哥倫布于1492年出生在熱那亞。他的家人沒有很多錢,克里斯托弗不是獨(dú)生子。直到他長大了才有很多教育。相反,他去了海。他航行在地中海沿岸,遠(yuǎn)至英國和愛爾蘭。A選項(xiàng)There were many people in Columbus' family.在哥倫布的家庭里有許多人。B選項(xiàng)Columbus was an only boy of his parents.哥倫布是他父母的唯一男孩。C選項(xiàng)Columbus did well in school when he was young.哥倫布在學(xué)校做得很好,當(dāng)他年輕的時候。D選項(xiàng)Columbus once traveled to Ireland.哥倫布曾經(jīng)去過愛爾蘭。故選D。3.文章倒數(shù)第五行He wanted to know more and got maps and books on geography.他想了解更多,得到了地理上的地圖和書籍。故選A。4.A選項(xiàng)Columbus had a dream to visit America。哥倫布有一個訪問美國的夢想。文章沒有提到，故排除A。B選項(xiàng)Marco Polo was a great traveler from Portugal馬可波羅是來自葡萄牙的偉大旅行家。然而馬可波羅是意大利的旅行家，故排除B。D選項(xiàng)nobody believed Columbus could reach China。沒有人相信哥倫布能到達(dá)中國。文章沒提到，故排除D。C選項(xiàng)Columbus had the idea that earth was round哥倫布認(rèn)為地球是圓的。 文章倒數(shù)第二行So, Columbus decided that he wanted to get to the East by going west. He thought that if he sailed far enough west, he would sail around the world enough to reach the East.所以,哥倫布決定通過向西到達(dá)東方。他認(rèn)為,如果他航行到足夠遠(yuǎn)的西方,他將周游世界,到達(dá)東方。故選C。5.A選項(xiàng)Columbus's childhood哥倫布的童年。B選項(xiàng)the reports of Azores Islands阿索雷斯的報(bào)告。C選項(xiàng)how Columbus began his sail哥倫布是如何啟航的。D選項(xiàng)what Marco Polo said in his book 馬可波羅在他的書中說了些什么。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，講了哥倫布是如何啟航的。故選C。
