五、阅读理解。
阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。(26 至 29 每题答案不超过 3 个词，30 题需用完整句子回答。)
When you see a globe (地球仪), close your eyes and spin (旋转) it quickly. Then stop it with your finger. Your finger will probably land on a body of water (水域). That's because water covers about 71% of the earth's surface. But if it doesn't land on water, you might discover a place you've never heard of.
These days, computers and smartphones can tell us where we are. But globes have remained popular. Peter Bellerby, a globe maker in London, says this is because a globe “connects us to our planet”. With a globe, you can easily see what's on the other side of the world from where you are. Joshua Nall is a museum director in England. He agrees that technology can give students more detailed information about the world. But the physical globe has become a symbol of knowledge.
Peter's company makes about 600 globes a year. To make a globe, workers produce a sphere (球状物) first. Then they place map pieces called “gores” onto it. The gores fit together to cover the sphere completely. Artists then paint the globe with different colors.
The world's oldest surviving globe dates from the 1490s. It is called the “Earth Apple”. Martin Behaim, a German, made it. The globe showed the world in the late 15th century. You couldn't find North or South America on it because Europeans hadn't discovered them yet. Two of the world's most famous globes were created about 450 years later after the 1490s. They were made for British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the US President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the World War Ⅱ.
