It was not much fun to travel on one of the old sailing ships. Life was hard for both passengers and crew. 17th century sailing ships were small and rolled heavily in rough seas, so most of the passengers were seasick.
There were no toilets, and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during gales were often not more than 5 foot high. Water was scarce and the little water they got was brown and smelt terrible.
Food was a problem, too—there was only salted meat, ship’ s biscuits and cheese, but the cheese was so hard that sailors often made buttons out of it for their jackets and trousers. There were no vegetables or fruit, so the people on board often fell ill.
The sailors, however, were a bit better off than the passengers. They each had a bottle of beer a day, and they needed. The work they had to do was hard and dangerous. Courage was needed, for the heavy sails had to be set and taken down in all kinds of weather, and quite often sailors were swept overboard in a gale. Almost the worst thing about the voyages was the time they took up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, everybody was overjoyed when they at last approached land and stepped ashore. But some ships never arrived. [br] Which of the following statements is true about food?
选项
A、Passengers had a lot of vegetables, but no fruit.
B、The sailors had four tins of beer a day.
C、The people on the ship often fell ill because of the lack of food.
D、The food for the passengers was more and better than that for the crew.
答案
C
解析
定位到文章第三段最后一句“There were no vegetables or fruit,so the people on board often fell ill.”可知,由于没有水果和蔬菜,船上的人经常生病,C选项正确,排除A。最后一段提到船员一天必须喝一瓶啤酒,而不是四听,B错误。船员和乘客吃的食物一样差而少,只是为了工作需要而每天喝一瓶酒,排除D。故选C。
