On July 12, 1993, a young professor of American history named Frederick Jackson Turner stood up to speak
. The scene was the American History Congress at the Chicago World’s Fair. (62)
His paper was titled "The significance of the Frontier in American History
." Turner had a new idea. (63)
And many historians who heard him recognized that he had come upon a simple theory that seemed right
.
To Turner, the frontier was one of the most powerful forces shaping the American character. He pointed out that the frontier was a place for new beginnings, a place where men and women could build new lives. Thus, the frontier represented hope and opportunity to Americans. Turner also pointed out that these new lives on the frontier were shaped by tile hardships of surviving in the wilderness. Thus, life on the frontier produced determination in Americans and made them believe in the value of work. (64)
According to Turner’s theory, the frontier was a place where everyone had to struggle equally hard
. (65)
Thus, frontier life helped shape the American ideal of equality, independence, and democracy
. [br]
选项

许多听到他演讲的历史学家意识到他涉及到一个看起来很正确的简单理论。
解析
come upon:v. 突然产生,要求,成为…负担,偶遇;突临,突袭。这里译成:涉及到。注意“who heard him”修饰“many historians”;“that seemed right”修饰“a simple theory”。
