On one voyage Tasman returned safely after he had lost two of his three ships in a storm. After this voyage Tasman was ordered to explore the southeast in order to find a new sea route to Chile in South America. This voyage to the“Great South Land”(as the Dutch called Australia)made him the famous discovery of Tasmania. At that stage though, Tasman and his crew had no idea that they had made such a significant discovery.
In 1644 Abel Tasman became skipper commander and later he became a member of the Council of Justice in Batavia. By 1653 he retired and owned 288 acres of land near Batavia. He died in October, 1659.
文章大意:本文主要介绍了荷兰航海家Abel Tasman的生平以及他一生中最重要的发现—Tasmania。
1.From the first paragraph, we can see that________.
A.in a village in the Netherlands, people have built a farm in memory of Abel Tasman
B.his second wife was about seven years younger than him
C.Abel Tasman married again after his first wife died of a disease
D.Abel Tasman was born in a big city in the Netherlands
答案:B 细节理解题。Abel Tasman 1631年再婚(当年他28岁),而他第二个妻子当时只有21岁,也就是他比第二个妻子大约7岁,故选择B。由第一段可知,人们修建了一条路,以他的名字命名,而不是修建了一个农场,故A项错;他第一个妻子如何去世在第一段中没有提及,故排除C项;由第一段首句可知D项错。
