The city of Memphis, located on the Nile near the modern city of Cairo, was founded around 3100 B.C. as the first capital of a recently united Egypt. The choice of Memphis by Egypt’s first kings reflects the site’s strategic importance. First, and most obvious, the apex of the Nile River delta was a politically opportune location for the state’s administrative center, standing between the united lands of Upper and Lower Egypt and offering ready access to both parts of the country. The older predynastic (pre-3100 B.C.) centers of power, This and Hierakonpolis, were too remote from the vast expanse of the delta, which had been incorporated into the unified state. Only a city within easy reach of both the Nile valley to the south and the more spread out, difficult terrain to the north could provide the necessary political control that the rulers of early dynastic Egypt (roughly 3000—2600 B.C.) required.
It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one consequence of the unification of Egypt was ________.
选项
A、the reduction of the strategic importance of older centers of power
B、the opportunity for the recently united Egypt to become economically self-sufficient
C、the increase in political tensions between the rulers of Upper and Lower Egypt
D、the reduction of Egypt’s dependence upon the Nile for trade and communications
答案
A
解析
本题需要考生从文段中推断埃及统一带来的后果。文段的第1句指出,埃及统一后定都孟斐斯。第2句指定都该地的原因:strategic importance“战略重要性”;下一句是对“战略重要性”的进一步解释:was a politically opportune location“利于政治的位置”,然后,该段的最后两句指出不再选择更早前的政治中心(The older predynastic centers of power)作为都城的原因;too remote“过于偏远”本段的结构非常清晰,孟斐斯被选为都城是因为其地理位置适合,具有战略重要性,而相对而言,以往的都城位置较为偏远,战略重要性下降。因此,埃及统一的一个后果就是A项所说的早期的政治中心的战略地位下降。
