The White House is the home of the President of the United States and his family. It wasn’t called the White House until Teddy Roosevelt named it in 1901.
James Hoban designed the White House in 1792. He was awarded the job because he had won a contest sponsored by the government. His design had been selected as the best.
President John Adams was the first to live in the White House. When he and his wife, Abigail moved in, it was a huge mansion in the middle of a swamp. Many of the rooms were unfinished. Abigail used the famous East Room as a drying room for laundry. More rooms were decorated every year. Rare shrubs and trees were planted on the grounds.
Yet, all this work was for nothing. In the war of 1812, the British burned the mansion to the ground. The White House was rebuilt in 1817. The beauty of its decorations and furnishings has been growing ever since.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
选项
A、The present building of the White House has been standing for almost two centuries.
B、It was James Hoban who first got the idea of building the White House.
C、The number of the rooms in the White House has been growing ever since it was built.
D、The White House got its name at the turn of the century.
答案
D
解析
本题是判断题,要求学生在通读全文的基础上做出正确判断。见第一段末句:“It wasn’t called the White House until Teddy Roosevelt named it in 1901.”指出“白宫”是在20世纪之交才得名的。不能选A,按原文白宫于1812年毁于战火,1817年才重建。故答案为D。
