(B) In early November of 1503, during Christopher Columbus’ fourth and final trip America, his ship was seriously damaged in a storm. Columbus and his men had to live on a small island for several months while they tried to repair their ship and return to Spain. At first, the local people on the island were very kind to the European visitors, giving them all the food and clothes they needed to survive. However, as the months passed, the local people became more and more unhappy with their guests, who were tricking and stealing from them. Finally the locals decided to stop helping. Without food or any way to leave the island, Columbus’ group was soon in serious trouble. Luckily for Columbus, he had a book about the stars and planets on his ship. It described the movements of all the objects in the night sky. The book, written by a well-known German scientist, said there would be a total lunar eclipse on the evening of February 29, 1504 and how long it would last. Columbus worked out the difference in time between Germany and North America. He then had a meeting with the local leaders just before the eclipse would take place. In this meeting, Columbus told them his god was angry because the local people were no longer giving food. So his god would take away the moon to punish them. At the moment Columbus finished talking, just as he had planned, the moon began disappearing. The local leaders grew frightened and quickly agreed to provide Columbus with food and anything else he wanted. But first, Columbus’ god had to return the moon. Columbus told them he would have to discuss the idea with his god on his ship. Knowing the moon would stay completely hidden for about 48 minutes, Columbus returned just before the moon began to reappear. From that day on, until they finally left, Columbus and his men no longer had any trouble getting the food they needed. 51. At first, the local people helped Columbus and his men by . A. giving them food B. building a house for them C. repairing their ship D. providing them with a book 52. The local people became angry because the Europeans . A. looked very different B. had nothing to trade C. were cheats and thieves D. wanted to take their land 53. Where did Columbus learn about the lunar eclipse? A. From a book. B. From the moon. C. From his group. D. From the locals. 54. What did Columbus do after returning to his ship on the night of the meeting? A. He discussed the problem with his god. B. He waited for the eclipse to finish. C. He read about the stars and planets. D. He told his men what happened. 55. What can we learn about the Europeans from the passage? A. They all believed in god. B. They never returned to Spain. C. They admired the local people. D. They caused their own problems. 查看更多
