Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa， Italy. He was the oldest of five children in a worker’s family. He enjoyed going to the sea when he was a young boy.

He heard that there was a lot of gold and other valuable things in East India. He wanted to find a short way to get to the Indies by ship. On August 3， 1492， he sailed toward the west from Palos， Spain with three ships. After many days， the sailors had covered a long distance on the sea and were ready to turn around for home when they saw land， an island Columbus named San Salvador. He thought he had found the Indies and called the people he saw there “Indians”. When they got to Cuba， he thought he was in Japan. The world was a lot larger than he thought.

In his life， he made four trips across the ocean. His 13-year-old son， Ferdinand， went with him during the last time. He returned to Spain in 1504. Columbus did not become rich as he had hoped. At the end of his life he only had a pension(退休金) the king and the queen had given him because he was the first to reach the New World. He died in 1506， still believing that he had found a new route to East India and that he had reached Asia.

Columbus didn’t get to school very much， but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin. He is remembered by all not only for the New World he discovered， but also for the way he led for other explorers.

試題分析：本文是一篇人物傳記。介紹了哥倫布不平凡的一生。在他的一生中，他做了四次穿越海洋的旅行。第一次是從西班牙出發(fā)，去印度尋找寶藏。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了新的陸地，一個島嶼，被他命名為圣薩爾瓦多島。但哥倫布并沒有因為發(fā)現(xiàn)新大陸而變得富有。人們之所以記住他，不僅因為他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個新的大陸，而且為其他探險家指引了方向。

【1】句意：哥倫布來自一個工人家庭。他的出生地是意大利的熱那亞。根據(jù)短文中的句子“Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa， Italy.”可知，哥倫布出生于意大利的熱那亞。故答案為birth。

【2】句意：當(dāng)他還是個小男孩的時候，他很喜歡去海邊。根據(jù)短文中的句子“He enjoyed going to the sea when he was a young boy.”可知，當(dāng)他還是個小男孩的時候，他喜歡去海邊。故答案為sea。

【3】句意：他的四段航海經(jīng)歷。根據(jù)短文中的句子“In his life， he made four trips across the ocean.”可知，在他的一生中，他做了四次穿越海洋的旅行。答案為experiences。

【4】句意：他帶領(lǐng)三艘船從西班牙航行，因為他想尋找印度東部的寶藏。根據(jù)短文中的句子“He heard that t here was a lot of gold and other valuable things in East India.” 他聽說印度東部有很多金子和其他值錢的東西。這也是他首次航海的目的所在。故答案為because。

【5】句意：他們的第一次航行時，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了陸地，一個島嶼，被他命名為圣薩爾瓦多島。根據(jù)短文中的句子“After many days， the sailors had covered a long distance on the sea and were ready to turn around for home when they saw land， an island Columbus named San Salvador.”故答案為named/called ，用過去分詞作后置定語。

【6】句意：世界比他想象的要大得多，他錯誤地認(rèn)為古巴就是日本。根據(jù)短文中的句子“When they got to Cuba， he thought he was in Japan. The world was a lot larger than he thought.”在比較級之前可以用much，， a lot等詞來修飾，故答案為much。

【7】句意：在他的晚年，他又三次越過海洋。文章提到四次航海經(jīng)歷，去印度是第一次，此處介紹另外三次，故答案為another。

【8】句意：他沒有變得富有，由于他發(fā)現(xiàn)了新大陸，只是得到了國王和王后給他的退休金。根據(jù)短文中的句子“Columbus did not become rich as he had hoped. At the end of his life he only had a pension(退休金) the king and the queen had given him because he was the first to reach the New World.”可知，哥倫布并沒有因為發(fā)現(xiàn)新大陸而變得富有。故答案為Instead。

【9】句意：他在旅行中學(xué)會了西班牙語和拉丁語。根據(jù)短文中的句子“but he learned to read and write Spanish during his travels. He also taught himself Latin because all the geography books were written in Latin. ”可知，哥倫布沒有去上學(xué)，但是他在旅行中學(xué)會了讀和寫西班牙語。他還自學(xué)拉丁語。 Learn by oneself自學(xué)的意思。故答案為by。

【10】句意：人們記住哥倫布，因為他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個新的世界，并為其他探險家指引了方向。根據(jù)短文最后的句子“He is remembered by all not only for the New World he discovered， but also for the way he led for other explorers.”說明人們應(yīng)該記住哥倫布的原因。答案為remember。
