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 (月食) 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.
10. 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
11. 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
12. Where did Columbus learn about the lunar eclipse
A. From a book. B. From the moon.
C. From his group. D. From the locals.
13. 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.
14. What can we learn about the Europeans from the passage

B. They never returned to Spain.
C. They admired the local people.
D. They caused their own problems.

10. A。细节理解题，考查学生定位关键信息的能力。我们可以利用题目中的at first来定位，在文中第二段找到答案。文中的“giving them all the food”对应选项A。所以答案选A。
11. C。细节理解题，考查学生同义替换的能力。我们从题目可以看到angry，但是文中没有angry，只有unhappy。而且第二段中的however这个转折词表示however后的内容与前面的内容感彩不一样。这里unhappy后面所在的非限制性定语从句who were tricking and stealing from them对应选项C。所以我们答案选C。
12. A。细节理解题。同学们可能看到the lunar eclipse就因为不懂单词而遇到困难。其实这题文章有中文，我们用中文定位答案区间，然后我们在第三段第一句找到答案had a book。所以答案选A。
13. B。推理判断题。这一题比较难，要在综合理解第四段和第五段的基础上才能理解。其实这两段的意思就是哥伦布为了让当地人给他们食物和衣服，哥伦布就利用族人害怕月食的心理来骗他们。哥伦布假装回到船上与他的神讨论什么时候让月亮出来，其实哥伦布只是呆在船上等待月食结束。所以这一题选B。
14. D。细节理解题。首先A和B选项出现了绝对化选项all和never，我们从文中也找不到这两个选项的答案，所以排除A、B。对于C项，我们理解全文后可知是当地人崇拜哥伦布，因为哥伦布可以说服他们的神让当地人重见月亮。而D选项我们可以从第二段的非限制性定语从句who were tricking and stealing from them找到答案D。
