In a recent study, David Cressy examines two central questions concerning English immigration to New England in the 1630s: what kinds of people immigrated and why? Using contemporary literary evidence, shipping lists, and customs records, Cressy finds
line that most adult immigrants were skilled in farming or crafts, were literate, and were
5 organized in families. Each of these characteristics sharply distinguishes the 21,000 people who left for New England in the 1630s from most of the approximately 377,000 English people who had immigrated to America by 1700.
With respect to their reasons for immigrating, Cressy does not deny the frequently noted fact that some of the immigrants of the 1630s, most notably the organizers and
10 clergy, advanced religious explanations for departure, but he finds that such explanations usually assumed primacy only in retrospect. When he moves beyond the principal actors, he finds that religious explanations were less frequently offered, and he concludes that most people immigrated because they were recruited by promises of material improvement. [br] The passage indicates that Cressy would agree with which of the following statements about the organizers among the English immigrants to New England in the 1630s?
选项
A、Some of them offered a religious explanation for their immigration.
B、They did not offer any reasons for their immigration until some time after they had immigrated.
C、They were more likely than the average immigrant to be motivated by material considerations.
答案
A
解析
Choice A is correct.
Choice A is correct: the organizers are mentioned in the second paragraph, where the passage says that Cressy "does not deny" that organizers "advanced religious explanations" for leaving England and immigrating to New England in the 1630s. This suggests that Cressy would agree with the statement in choice A about the organizers.
Choice B is incorrect: in lines 10-11, the passage says that Cressy finds that religious reasons for immigration "assumed primacy" only in retrospect, but this is not the same as Cressy’s concluding that no reasons were given at the time of immigration. Therefore it cannot be inferred that Cressy would agree with the statement in Choice B.
Choice C is incorrect: the passage refers in lines 13-14 to "promises of material improvement" as a factor that in Cressy’s view motivated most immigrants other than "the principal actors." This suggests that Cressy regards the principal actors, such as organizers, as having been less, not more, motivated by material considerations than average immigrants were. Therefore it cannot be inferred that Cressy would agree with the statement in Choice C.
