参考解析:
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“It wasn’t until the sixteenth century that Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition became the first to travel around the world.”,可知A项Ferdinand Magellan是第一个进行全球旅行的人;根据第二段倒数第三句“Nellie Bly, was sent by her newspaper to complete the journey”,可知C项Nellie Bly也进行了全球旅行;根据第三段第二句“David Kunst, was the first person to walk around the world.”,可知D项David Kunst进行了全球旅行。根据第二段第六句“the French science fiction author Jules Verne published a book called Around the World in 80 Days. The novel was about a man who travels around the world, starting from London, to win a bet.”说明B项Jules Verne只是出版了书籍,并没有进行全球旅行。故选B。
