According toparagraph 2, all of the following are reasons why Americans migrated westwardEXCEPT
O the desire to move from one place to thenext
O the hope of improving their socioeconomicstatus
O the opportunity to change jobs
O the need to escape religious or politicalcrises
Paragraph 2: Why werethese hundreds of thousands of settlers—most of them farmers, some of themartisans—drawn away from the cleared fields and established cities and villagesof the East? 提出问题Certain characteristicsof American society help to explain this remarkable migration. The Europeanancestors of some Americans had for centuries lived rooted to the same villageor piece of land until some religious, political, or economic crisis uprootedthem and drove them across the Atlantic.
欧洲人就喜欢呆在同个地方。Many of those who experienced this sharp break thereafterlacked the ties that had bound them and their ancestors to a single place.Moreover, European society was relatively stratified; occupation and socialstatus were inherited欧洲的社会制度如何如何,工作和社会地位都是遗传下来的. In American society, however,
the class structure was less rigid; somepeople changed occupations easily and believed it was their duty to improvetheir social and economic position. (选项A、B和C)As a result, many Americans were aninveterately restless, rootless, and ambitious people. Therefore, these socialtraits helped to produce the nomadic and daring settlers who kept pushingwestward beyond the fringesof settlement. In addition, there were other immigrants who migrated west insearch of new homes, material success, and better lives.
段内结构是:提出问题。先说欧洲- 再however说美国不同在哪里。

D还是没大明白。这个只是说转移,而题目说的是reduction。没啥关联啊这两个。

关键词:goods、cheaply
原文:
Transportationwas becoming less of a problem for those who wished to move west and for thosewho had farm surpluses to send to market. ■Prior to 1815, western farmers who did not live onnavigable waterways were connected to them only by dirt roads and mountaintrails. ■Livestock could be driven across the mountains, but the cost of transporting bulky grains in this fashion wasseveral times greater than their value in eastern markets. ■The first steptoward an improvement of western transportation was the construction ofturnpikes. ■These roads made possible a reduction intransportation costs and thus stimulatedthe commercialization of agriculture along their routes.
B后提到cost。D后提到reductioncost。那差不多就是C了。。
