After the ship sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida, its murky waters became a treasure-trove (埋藏的宝藏) of precious stones, gold bars and silver coins known as "pieces of eight" . The aptly-named Fisher, who ran a commercial salvaging operation, had been trying to locate the underwater treasure for over 16 years when he finally hit the jackpot! His dreams had come true but finding and keeping the treasure wasn’t all plain sailing. After battling with hostile conditions at sea, Fisher then had to battle in the courts. In fact, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find and the Federal government soon followed suit. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his findings for public display, and so now there is a museum in Florida which displays hundreds of the objects which were salvaged from the Atocha.
In Para, the phrase "hit the jackpot" means________according to the context.
选项
A、discovered the jackpot.
B、found the treasure
C、broke one of the objects
D、ran a salvaging operation
答案
B
解析
词汇题。文章第四段第二句话告诉我们,Fisher从事一份具有营利性质的寻宝工作,他十六年来一直尝试寻找水下的宝藏,最终成功发现了宝藏。所以“hit the jack pot”是“发现宝藏”的意思。故选B。
