问题 The primary purpose of the passage is to______ [br] The author uses the adjective “simple” in line 5 most probably to emphasize that the______
选项 A、collection of census inofrmation became progressively more difficult throughout the nineteenth-century
B、technology for tabulating census information was rudimentary during the first half of the nineteenth century
C、home-based agricultural economy of the early nineteenth century was easier to analyze than the later industrial economy
D、economic role ofwomen was better defined in the early nineteenth century than in the late nienteent century
E、information collected by early-nineteen-century censuses was limited in its amount of detail
答案 E
解析 This question asks you to identify the idea that the author emphasizes by using the word “simple” in line 5 of the passage. Choice E is the best answer. The word “simple” appears in a sentence that describes the United States census from the beginning of the nineteenth century through 1840. This sentence appears immediately after a statement indicating that during the nineteenth century, the United States census became more detailed and precise. In this context, the word “simple” in line 5 emphasizes the idea that occupational information in United States censuses of the early nineteenth century was limited in its amount of detail. Choices A, B, C, and D are incorrect for the same reason: none represents a claim which the passage makes. The passage does not discuss the difficulty of collecting census data, the technology for tabulating census information, or the relative ease with which various nineteenth-century economies could be analyzed. The passage also does not discuss the degree to which women’s economic role was well defined in the early nineteenth century as compared with the late part of the century.
