During the American War of Independence(1775-1783)and in the first days after the founding of the nation, there was a dispute between the northern and southern states as to where the capital of the new country should be located.
For most of the Revolutionary War period, the rebels’ capital was Philadelphia. The First Continental Congress of 1774 was held there, so was the second one in 1776, the one which proclaimed The Declaration of Independence; and in 1787 the federal Constitution was adopted there, too. Larger New York served as the capital for a while. From 1790 to 1800, however, Philadelphia was once more the capital.
To solve the problem, George Washington, the first President of the United States, personally selected an area on the northeastern shore of the Potomac River between the states of Maryland and Virginia as the new capital. This was as early as 1791. He appointed Pierre L’Enfant, a French engineer who had fought in the Revolution, to prepare a plan for the new city. George Washington died in 1799, so it was John Adams, the second President, who moved the capital to the new seat, which was yet to be completed. To commemorate George Washington, the new capital was named after him.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What was the dispute between the northern and southern states just after the U.S. was founded?
23. Where was the First Continental Congress held?
24. What can we learn about the capital of the U.S.?
25. When did George Washington die?
选项
A、Its location was decided by George Washington.
B、Its construction was mostly charged by Pierre L’Enfant.
C、It was located on the southeastern shore of the Potomac River.
D、Its name was nominated by George Washington.
答案
A
解析
选项中的Its location/construction和was located表明,本题考查It的相关情况,It应该指某个地点或建筑。短文中提到,美国第一任总统乔治·华盛顿亲自选定马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州之间的区域作为首都,由此可知,美国首都的选址是乔治·华盛顿完成的,故答案为A)。
