　　托福阅读修辞目的题：Early Sea Trade with Asia

　　【Paragraph 4】The astrolabe had long been the primary instrument for navigation, having been introduced in the　　eleventh century. It operated by measuring the height of the Sun and the fixed stars: by calculating the angles created by　these points, it determined the degree of latitude at which one stood (The problem of determining longitude, though, was　not solved until the eighteenth century.) By the early thirteenth century. Western Europeans had also developed and put　into use the magnetic compass, which helped when clouds obliterated both the Sun and the stars. Also beginning in the　thirteenth century, there were new maps refined by precise calculations and the reports of sailors that made it possible to　　trace one's path with reasonable accuracy. Certain institutional and practical norms had become established as well. A　maritime code known as the Consulate of the Sea, which originated in the western Mediterranean region in the　fourteenth century, won acceptance by a majority of sea goers as the normative code for maritime conduct; it defined　such matters as the authority of a ship's officers, protocols of command, pay structures, the rights of sailors, and the　rules of engagement when ships met one another on the sea-lanes. Thus by about 1400 the key elements were in place　to enable Europe to begin its seaward adventure.(Europe's Early Sea Trade with Asia)

　　Why does the author include the information that Western Europeans had developed and put into use the magnetic　compass

　　○To provide an example of an instrument that was developed after caravels had begun traveling across oceans

　　○To provide an example of an improvement that resulted directly from the invention of the astrolabe

　　○To identify one of the technological advances that made sea trade with the East possible

　　○To explain how the problem of determining longitude was solved
