In 1848 a settler in distant, undeveloped California discovered gold near Sacramento(萨克拉曼多). As the news spread, a great tide of gold hungry men flowed into California. They came from all parts of the United States in tens of thousands. There were even gold seekers from Europe. Some of the people move across the country by cart, traveling almost half a year and meeting many hardships and dangers. Other sailed all the way around South Africa, finally reached the California shore. Since the first discovery was of tiny pieces of gold at the bottom of a stream, many of them searched the waters of rivers for the precious bits of yellow metal. Others made channels to draw off flowing water in order to examine it carefully for bits of gold. They worked with almost full determination and fierce competition (竞争).
Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gold rush. A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed. After having removed from their homes and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they found little or nothing. Some returned home. But many remained in California to work and to settle as ordinary citizens without the riches they had dreamed of. [br] Apart from all parts of the United States, some old seekers were perhaps from________.
选项
A、South America
B、England or France
C、China
D、Sacramento
答案
B
解析
由题干中的关键词from all parts of the United States锁定具体信息在第一段第三至六句They came from all parts of the United States…finally reached the California shore。阅读这四句可知,淘金者主要来自美国各地,还有一些来自欧洲和南非,选项中A项“南美洲”和C项“中国”都不在上述地区之内;D项“萨克拉曼多”属于美国,可排除。只有B项“英国和法国”属于上述地区中的欧洲,故选B。
