In the 1800’s, trains roared into stations. They were symbols of progress and expansion. They played as much of a role in America’s history as presidents and generals.
The first American railroads were built in the late 1820’s. The early railroads provided cheap transportation for shippers and travelers. To encourage the railroads to expand into unsettled lands, President Millard Fillmore signed a series of landgrant acts (土地拨赠法案) in the 1850’s. These acts gave the railroad companies ownership of land that ran along the railways. In return for the land, the railroads carried government traffic at reduced rates. The railroad companies sold much of their land to farmers and cattlemen, who then shipped their goods on the trains.
The importance of the railroads became clear during the Civil War. During the war, trains carried troops, arms, and supplies. One reason that the North won the war is that it had more use of the railroads.
Between 1865 and 1900, railroads grew rapidly. The first transcontinental (跨越全洲的) route was Completed in 1869. This track made it easier for pioneers to cross the Rocky Mountains and settle the West. And the railroads brought new people to the West even before the trains started running. Thousands of Chinese and Irish laborers helped to lay down the tracks. [br] Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、The first railroad that reached the West was completed in 1860’s.
B、Trains helped pioneers settle the West.
C、Railroad construction created a lot of jobs.
D、Trains carried Chinese and Irish laborers to the West.
答案
D
解析
该题一方面可以通过排除法得到答案。文章最后一段中有以下两句话:第一条跨越全洲的铁路于1869年建成。这条铁路帮助开拓者穿越落基山脉,在西部定居下来。说明A、B选项都是对的。此外,最后一句话是:成千上万的中国和爱尔兰劳工帮助铺设路轨。说明铁路的建设提供了大量的就业机会。因此C选项也是对的。另一方面,文章最后一句话的意思是:成千上万的中国和爱尔兰劳工帮助铺设路轨。而不是铁路把中国和爱尔兰的劳工带到了西部。考生只要对本句正确理解了,就能答对该题。
