六、阅读与回答问题(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
Zheng He was a Ming Dynasty explorer whom the Chinese people are proud of. He was born in 1371. When he was only a teenager, he was caught by the army and sent to work for a prince named Zhu Di, who later became the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di wanted to learn more about the world and show other countries his power. He ordered many new ships to be built and made Zheng He their leader. Between 1405 and 1433, Zheng He led seven sea trips to different parts of the world. He certainly travelled to India, Africa and the Middle East. With 28,000 men and over 200 ships, Zheng He led a fleet(舰队) whose size would not be equaled by Europeans for over 500 years!
On these trips he brought with him many Chinese goods like silk and medicine to give to foreign kings or to sell for local goods. He returned from each trip with boats filled with expensive things such as gold and jewellery, foreign guests and strange animals like a giraffe.
It is a pity that we may never learn everything about Zheng He's travels. After he died in 1433, the new emperor, who believed these trips were unlucky and too expensive, had them stopped and he burned almost all the books about Zheng He's travels. It is only in the last century that historians have begun to carefully study the adventures of the great Zheng He.
66. How old was Zheng He when he was caught by the army?
______________________________
67. Why did Zhu Di want Zheng He to sail to foreign countries?
______________________________
68. What did Zheng He do with the things he brought during his travels?
______________________________
69. Why did the new emperor stop the overseas travels?
______________________________
70. Do you think Zheng He was a great explorer? Why? (请自拟一句话作答)
