问题 The fastest transatlantic voyage by a packet mentioned by the author was from ______ . [br] According to the author, in which decade of the nineteenth century did a steamship first attempt to compete with transatlantic packets?

选项 A、The twenties.
B、The fifties.
C、The forties.
D、The thirties.

答案 D

解析 题目问哪个年代汽船开始试图和邮船竞争。从文章的最后一句“No wonder that steamships,the first of which tried to compete with the packets in 1838,only began to replace them in the 1850s.”看出,蒸汽机船在1838年开始试图与邮船竞争,并在 19世纪50年代开始替代邮船。1838年正值19世纪30年代,所以答案为D。
