B. Choose the best answer （根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）：（7分）　　At 2:30 on December 5, 1945, five US Navy (海军) training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast--- and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Taylor was the group leader. At about 3:40, Taylor reported that his compasses（指南针） were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leader aimlessly, firs east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Taylor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Taylor was heard to give orders to dive.　　Quickly, two giant (very large) Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later, the wind became strong and visibility（能见度）dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast（海岸部队）combed a 100,000 square-mile area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.　　Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle（百慕大三角）.　　The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico（波多黎各） and a spot in the Gulf of Mexico（墨西哥湾）, west of Florida. It is a two - faced water world of tiny island, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs, powerful currents（急流）and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.　　78.
