The railroads are criticized【C3】______ their part in settling the West too rapidly.【C4】______ , there were abuses【C5】______ with building and operating the railroads, but it must be pointed out that they performed a useful service in【C6】______ the frontier and helping to achieve national【C7】______ .

Justice was almost entirely 【C11】______ the Indians’ side. The land was clearly theirs; frequently their title was legally【C12】______ by a treaty negotiated with the federal government. The Indians,【C13】______ , lacked the military force and political power to protect this right.

选项
A、evaluated
B、calculated
C、estimated
D、predicted
答案
C
解析
考查词义辨析。estimate意为“估计”,在这里是最恰当的。evaluate表示“评价,评估”;calculate指“计算”,用这个词虽然在句法和语义上都是一个正确的句子,但这么大一个数字很难是精确计算的结果;predict表示“预言,预测”,如果选择predicted,由于时态的问题,意思上是讲不通的。
