The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving naturally appeared first where labor was rare. "In Europe", said Thomas Jefferson, " the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient:
here
it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant. " It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came.
At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude(粗糙的)plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs. By 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1890 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would bring home none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869, James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled steel plow. [br] Which of the following statement is NOT true?
选项
A、The need for labor helped the invention of machinery in America.
B、The farmer rejected Charles Newbolt’s plow for fear of ruin of their fields.
C、Both Europe and America had great need for farm machinery.
D、It was in Indiana that the first chilled-steel plow was produced.
答案
C
解析
细节判断题。文章第一段中有这样的句子:In Europe,the object is to make the most of their land,labor being sufficient,here it is to make the most of our labor,and land being abundant(在欧洲,我们的目标是劳动力充足,要充分利用土地,在美国是土地充足,要正确使用劳动力)。因此,说欧洲和美国都急需农业机械化是错误的。正确答案为C。
