问题 Originally, US general elections were held in earlier November because______. [br]  
US general elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Congress made it that way in 1845.(9)More Americans farmed back then, and they had to travel somewhere to vote.
    Earlier November was between the harvest and the worst winter weather. Different states used to have different voting dates.
    But as news begin the travel faster through telegraph technology, the government didn’t want results in early voting states to influence the turnout and opinion in later voting states.
    One Election Day nationwide solve that problem. So, flash-forward to the midterm elections of 2014, and the US House of Representatives—all 435 seats are up for election. Republicans need at least 218 of them to stay in control of the House. Analysts expect them to get.
选项 A、had 217 seats in the House
B、had the control of the House
C、got 435 seats in the House
D、lost 218 seats to democrats
答案 B
解析 本题考查对新闻内容的推断。由句(10)可知，在中期选举时，共和党在众议院还需要218个席位就可以继续掌控众议院，这说明在中期选举前共和党就已掌控众议院，故B为正确答案。
