问题     Columbus was an Italian, but he is known throughout the world. He is regarded as one of the greatest sailors in history. He spent most of his life sailing around the world, and his trip in 1492 led to the famous discovery of America. The following is an interesting story during the trip.
    In order to get fresh food-and-water-, Columbus and his men landed in Jamaica. The people there were not friendly and did not want to help them at all. They said they would attack if he didn’ t leave their island. It was April 2, 1493, and Columbus knew that an eclipse(日食) of the sun was about to appear. (The eclipse of the sun can be frightening. The moon comes between the earth and the sun and it gets dark in the middle of the afternoon!) Columbus told the people of the island that if he didn’t get food and water, he would make the sun go away. When the moon blocked out the sun and it suddenly became dark, the people of the island thought Columbus was a God and gave him enough food and water.
Before his trip in 1492, ______.
选项 A、America was unknown to the people of the other continents
B、Columbus planned to discover another land for the people
C、no people lived in America
D、the United States had already been founded
答案A
解析 第一自然段讲到是哥伦布发现了美洲。这表明在这以前其他洲的人们并不知道美洲这个地方。其他选项不是与事实不符，就是文章中没有提到。故正确的答案为A。
