A few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky. About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky, they dreamed of falling from the sky!
In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped (锥形的) device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with a strap strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute(降落伞).
Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of a pyramid (金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper and no one tested them.
A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci’ s parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65 years old, he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Strapping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell tower in his city. He landed safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some other people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.
Which of the following about Fausto Veranzio is true?
选项
A、He copied Leonardo da Vinci’ s parachute design.
B、He made his parachute with feather and wood.
C、He experimented with his parachute many times.
D、He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.
答案
D
解析
根据第四段第一句“…replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship.”可知,Fausto Veranzio改变了Leonardo da Vinci的降落伞设计, 并没有抄袭(copy),所以选项A错误。根据第四段第四句“He built his parachute using wood and cloth.”可知,Fausto Veranzio用木头和布建造了降落伞,所以选项B错 误。根据第四段内容可知,Fausto Veranzio第一次试验他自己发明的降落伞便成功 了,文中并未提到他进行了多次试验,所以选项C错误。根据第四段第二、三句可知, Fausto Veranzio生病之后,他觉得自己活不久了,所以决定试验一下他发明的降落伞, 由此可推知,他应该病得很重,所以D项正确。故选D。
