2.2. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
Past explorers have made vast contributions to our knowledge of the world today. They braved
the oceans to discover the world and to bring their goods to other countries to trade.
Many explorers had to overcome their fear of the unknown to travel around the world on their
sailing ships. Submitting themselves to unpredictable weather conditions, each explorer either
traveled further than his predecessor or tried to find a different route to already discovered
countries. For example, Vasco Da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, established a sea route from
Europe to India. He had extended the sea route that Bartolomeu Dias had already done when he
latter sailed around the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa.
More importantly, explorers first closed the gap between the east and the west by trading their
local goods with foreign ones. India was known for its spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon
while China was known for its silk. A part of the east was brought to the west when western
gourmets developed a taste for eastern spices in their food. People in the east dressed in clothes
that were previously only worn in the west. Without the explorers, many of us would still be
living in our own enclave with little knowledge of the vast world and what other foreign countries have to offer us.
