Andrew Carnegie, American industrialist and philanthropist, made a fortune by manufacturing iron and steel protected by customs tariff. In 1873, on one of his frequent trips to England, he met Henry Bessemer and became convinced that the industrial future lay in steel. He built the J. Edgar Thomson Steel Mills near Pittsburgh, and from that moment on, the Carnegie Empire was one of constant expansion. Later on, the Carnegie Steel Co. became an immense organization. It included all the processes of steel production from the great furnaces and finishing mills of Pittsburgh to the lake steamers that moved the ores and the finished products.
Like his grandfather, Andrew Carnegie did not abandon the radical idealism of his forebears for the benefit of the working class and tile poor people. In spite of his espousal (支持) of Hebert Spencer’s philosophy and the social Darwinism of the period, Carnegie remained deeply committed to many of the Chartist (宪章运动) ideals of his boyhood, He believed in the social responsibility of the man of wealth to society. He must serve as a steward for the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe. Furthermore, Carnegie considers that the dispensation of wealth for the benefit of society must never be in the form of free charity but rather must be as a support to the community’s responsibility for its own people.
When Carnegie died in Lenox, Massachusetts on August 11, 1919, most of his fortune was already gone. People wonder that if Carnegie had known this when he was alive, he would have spread most of his wealth to the poor people. [br] Carnegie followed his ancestor’s steps ______.
选项
A、by developing a large industrial company
B、in caring for and improving benefits for the workers and the poor
C、by furthering Spencer’s philosophy
D、by being a follower of social Darwinism
答案
B
解析
ancestors和forebears同义,即“祖先”;第二段第1句说Carnegie家的祖先都关心工人和贫苦人的利益,Andrew Carnegie的祖父是这样,他本人电是这样;A),C),D)三项讲的都是 Andrew Carnegie本人所做的事情,与他的祖先的事迹联系不紧密
