How did England control trade in the 18th century? [br]
I know that this is probably a digression from the topic of today’s lecture, but it is worth noting that although England no longer ruled her former colonies in the eighteenth century she controlled trade with them by selling products so cheaply that it was not possible for the new countries to manufacture and compete with English prices. To maintain this favorable balance of trade, England went to fantastic lengths to keep secret the advance manufacturing processes upon which such a monopoly depended.
Enterprising Americans made all kinds of ingenious attempts to smuggle drawings for the most modern machines out of England, but it was an Englishman, Samuel Slater, who finally succeeded.
Determined to talk nothing in writing, Slater memorized the intricate designs for all the machines in an English textile mill, and in partnership with Moss Brown, America had changed from a country of small farmers and craftsmen to an industrial nation in competition with England.
选项
A、He kept designs for English machinery from being used in the colonies.
B、He prevented Moss Brown from opening a mill.
C、He committed deigns for English machinery to memory.
D、He smuggled drawings for English machines into the United States.
答案
C
解析
美国人想出各种各样的办法想要得到英国先进机器的设计图纸,但只有一个英国人Samuel Slater成功了。他把一个英国纺织厂所有机器的复杂图纸都牢牢记在心里了。
