【正确答案】： √ 【本题分数】：2.0分

【答案解析】

[听力原文]1-10

Today I'm going to discuss transportation and communication in the early 19th century in the United States. At that time, inland waterways provided North America's most popular form of long-distance

transportation. Travel by rivers was often more convenient than taking a wagon over primitive country roads, especially when shipping heavy loads of farm products or household goods. Where the natural waterways were inadequate, shallow canals were built. The Erie Canal, opened in 1825, connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River. It allowed settlers in the Great Lakes region to send their crops eastward to New York City at the mouth of Hudson at a much lower cost. From there, crops could be shipped to other Atlantic ports. The construction of the Erie Canal also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier. The City of Detroit grew up between two of the Great Lakes. Later a canal joined the Great Lakes with the Mississippi river system and Chicago became a thriving city. Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible, by the mid-1800s, faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined. Railroads could be used year round whereas canals were often frozen in the winter. During the first third of the century, however, transportation on rivers, lakes and canals aided greatly in the growth of the United States.

根据题干中地名专有名词定位到原文相关信息The Erie Canal …connected the Great Lakes with the upper Hudson River 即Erie 运河将Great Lakes 和Hudson River 上游联接起来，而题干说Erie 运河和Hudson River 汇入Great Lakes ，由此可知题干的说法与原文不符，该题的说法是错误的。

[解题关键] 理解关键词汇含义是解题的关键。原文中connect “联接”与题干中join “加入”，意思不符。

第2题

Settlers and manufactured products were usually transported from west to east.

【正确答案】： X 【本题分数】：2.0分

【答案解析】

[分析] 特定信息的找寻和判断。

根据原文可知1825年Erie 运河的开放使得大湖区的定居者们可将粮食运到东部纽约城，而且该运河also encouraged westward migration along inland waterways and helped populate the frontier 即鼓励了人们沿内陆水道向西部移民。由此可见，当时的运输是东西双向进行的。因此题干的说法与原文不符，是错误的。

[解题关键] 根据题干特点，对有关方向的信息留心倾听是解题的关键。 第3题

Shallow canals were built for transportation when natural waterways were inadequate.

【正确答案】： √

【本题分数】：2.0分

【答案解析】

[分析] 语义理解题。

根据原文Where the natural waterways were inadequate ，shallow canals were built 可知哪里的天然水路不够，哪里就有浅的运河修建。由此可见题干的说法与原文意思相符，是正确的。

[解题关键] 掌握语句结构是解题的关键。本题需理解带有where 引导的状语从句的复合句的句义。

第4题

New York City had a deeper harbor than other Atlantic seaports was one reason for its prosperity during the early 19th century.

【正确答案】： X
