English: Marks 20
Read the following passage and answer the following question (1-6)
In the 16th century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan
led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the
king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and
lost the king’s favor. After he was dismissed from service by the king of Portugal, he offered
to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain.
A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W
longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove
that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail
from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the
topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank,
but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America.
Finally they found the passage they sought near 50 degrees S latitude. Magellan named this
passage the Strait of All Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of Magellan.
One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were
privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed
the meridian now known as the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after 98
days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan’s men died of
starvation and disease.
Later, Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a
tribal battle. Only one ship and 17 sailors under the command of the Basque navigator
Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all
that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.
