When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throbs of an economic depression. Following the termination of World War I , Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things -- prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy.
October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the "Great Crash", as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread. The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932.
Germany in the postwar years suffered from extreme deprivation because of burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The country’s industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories.
Roosevelt was elected because he promised a "New Deal’to life the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist. Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression be fore the outbreak of World War Ⅱ.
Which of the following was NOT true at the time Roosevelt was elected?
选项
A、Stock prices were recovering slowly.
B、The nation was in a deep depression.
C、There were 12 million unemployed workers.
D、The nation needed help from the federal government.
答案
A
解析
本题询问罗斯福上台时美国的境况。由首句可知罗斯福1932年开始执政时,美国正处于大萧条时期。文章的第二段具体描述了当时的情况。B、C两项符合文章描述的内容;A项不符合原文,因为文中提到 stock prices sank;D项虽一时不能确定,但符合常理。为保险起见,读者仍可在后文第四段中找到依据...the federal government to provide welfare,work...由此可见,A项是这一题的正确答案。
