In this lesson, I want to talk about the history of The White House. At first, most Americans didn’t think there was anything particularly special about the White House. Few had ever seen it or had any idea what it looked like, and even the families who lived there found it completely inadequate. When it was built, the White House was the largest house in the country and it remained so until after the Civil War. But it served so many different purposes that little of it was available for the First Family to actually live in. The first floor, or "State Floor" was made up entirely of public rooms; and the president’s offices, which where staffed by as many as 30 employees, took half of the second floor up. The First Family had to get by with the eight or fewer second-floor rooms that were left. By Lincoln’s time, the situation was intolerable. The White House was open to visitors; office seekers, and the merely curious had no difficulty making their way upstairs from the official rooms on the first floor. Lincoln was so uncomfortable with the situation that he had a private corridor constructed. He also received a $ 20, 000 appropriation to improve the furnishings of the White House. The new furnishings did not last for more than a few years. When Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, the White House fell into disarray. No one really supervised the White House during’ the first five weeks.
选项
A、There was not enough maintenance.
B、People didn’t care whatever mess it might be.
C、Because there were no effective regulations over visitors.
D、Because it was constructed badly.
答案
C
解析
推理题。文章提供的重要提示语是 By Lincoln’s time,the situation was intolerable.接下来,文章说明了导致此状况的原因The White House was open to visitors...had no difficulty making their way upstairs from the official rooms既然就连仅仅出于好奇的人都可以轻而易举地从一层的办公场所上楼,说明白宫缺乏对参观者的有效的管理,这才导致了白宫的混乱。
