五、完形填空
In modern times, we admire the bravery of astronauts. We look up into the sky and wonder if they will ever return from their voyage (航行) into the great unknown.
It’s hard to believe, but only a short while ago, our own earth was as huge and unknown as 1 is today. Only 500 years ago, most of the earth was not explored. Sailing too far away from land was as 2 then as it is today for astronauts to sail into outer space.
But humans have always wanted to learn about the world, no matter what the dangers. The great Chinese 3, Zheng He, proves this point.
In 1405, at the request of the Emperor, he left China for the first of 4 voyages of discovery that he made between 1405 and 1433. The fleet of ships given to Zheng for these voyages was 5 as the “fleet of friendship”, for this was the purpose of his trips.
On each trip Zheng ordered more than 20,000 men on hundreds of ships. He sailed the South China Sea, and 6 the Indian Ocean to eastern Africa. In all he visited 30 countries and began trade with them. At each port, the Chinese sailors made 7 with the local people.
On one voyage to Africa, Zheng bought some rare animals for the Emperor. He 8 fair prices for a lion, a leopard, an ostrich and a giraffe, and then brought them to the Emperor’s palace. On each return visit, the locals remembered the Chinese sailors and offered them gifts.
It can be said that Zheng’s seven voyages of discovery were important because people learned more and more about the earth that lay 9 China’s coast. 10 important, however, were the friendly diplomatic (外交) relations that were begun so long ago. In 1419, seventeen countries sent officers back to China with Zheng. This was the beginning of a long friendship between China and its neighbours in South Asia and beyond to Africa.
