The east-west rail lines stimulated the settlement and agricultural development of the Midwest. By 1860 Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin had replaced Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York as the leading wheat-growing states. Enabling farmers to speed their products to the East, railroads increased the value of farmland and promoted additional settlemen. in turn, population growth in agricultural areas triggered industrial development in cities such as Chicago, Davenport (Iowa), and Minneapolis, for the new settlers needed lumber for fences and houses and mills to grind wheat into flour.

According to paragraph 2, one effect of the increased agricultural development in the Midwest was to

B. increase the demand for industrial products from Midwestern cities
C. encourage the extension of east-west rail lines to the Midwest
D. reduce the pressure on Midwestern farmers to get their products to market faster


答案是B。 demand如何看出来？如果说rail way→mideast settlement +agricultural development
→ （wheat grow↑， speed products to east）→industrialization，D也是说得通的，因为铁路是industrialization的一部分啊。。。。


这个B题目又是什么意思....说明Chicago是midwestern的城市吗

B…→industrial product↑ in chicago…这些城市，也就反映出来需求上去了，量才会上去。而不是盲目上去。

D说的是非mideast城市industrial的变化，而不是mideast城市的变化，所以D 张冠李戴。

B：最后一句的need就是demand
C：因果搞反了
D：reduce the pressure没有提到

铁路促进中西部农业发展，中西部人口增加，工业发展（lumber需求增加）

最后一句，房屋和篱笆需求的木材增加，需求的碾磨机也增加。
