  托福阅读修辞目的题:Vasco da Gama

  【Paragraph 5】The conventional explanation for the loss of Venetian dominance in trade is establishment of the Portuguese direct sea route to the East, replacing the overland Silk Road from the Black sea and the highly profitable Indian Ocean-caravan-eastern Mediterranean route to Venice. The Portuguese Vasco da Gama’s Voyage around southern Africa to India took place at the end of the fifteenth century, and by 1502 the trans- Abrabian caravan route had been cut off by political unrest. (The Decline of Venetian Shipping)

  Why does the author mention “Vasco da Gama’ Voyage around southern Africa to India” in the passage?

  ○ to indicate how the Portuguese came to challenge Venetian dominance of trade with the East

  ○ to explain why political troubles resulted in the closing of the usual routes to India

  ○ to prove that Venetians could not sail round ships as efficiently as sailors from other countries did

  ○ to show that Venetian reliance on round ships rather than galleys proved to be weakness
