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] The working condition of the sailors was very hard.______
选项
A、They often had to set the sails in bad weather.
B、So they had less courage.
C、They were happy to be swept overboard in a strong wind.
D、A 70-day-journey across the Atlantic was their happiest thing.
答案
A
解析
细节题根据文章第四段第三句和第四句可知,由于他们经常在各种恶劣的天气里升起和卸下沉重的船帆,水手们常常在大风中被刮下船,他们的工作是非常辛苦和危险的。所以选项A(他们经常在恶劣的天气里升起船帆)正确。选项B(他们没有那么大的勇气)、选项C(他们在大风中被刮下船很开心)和选项D(70天横渡大西洋是他们最开心的事)和文章所述不一致。故本题选A。
