问题 What does the weather probably like in Mexico?
  
In countless other ways, the people of the United States are indebted to the Mexicans who once lived in the old Southwest. There were only 75 thousand of them when Mexico ceded the region to the United States, and these were scattered from the Gulf Coast in the east to the shores of the Pacific in the west. They had lived in the borderlands since 1598, more than twenty years before the Pilgrims sailed for the New World. In the course of more than 250 years , they had left their mark on the land. Many of the western states in the United States still bear the lovely lyrical names the Mexican settlers first wrote upon their maps. So do countless rivers and mountains, and thousands of cities and towns. Through trial and error, the rugged Mexicans had learned to survive and prosper in the dry, half-desert land. When English-speaking people poured into the region, the Spanish-speaking people shared their knowledge with the new settlers, making things much easier for them.. Settlers in other parts of the United States did not have this advantage.

选项 A、The Americans owed a lot of money to the Mexicans.
B、The Americans loaned a large sum of money to the Mexicans.
C、The Americans shared their technology with the Mexicans.
D、The Mexicans had in may ways helped the Americans.

答案D

解析 第一句:In countless other way, the people of the United State are indebted to the Mexicans who once livedin the old Southwest.通听全文得知,墨西哥人在很多方面帮助了刚来美国的人们。B:美国人借出一大笔钱给墨西哥人明显错误,C:美国人和墨西哥人分享他们的技术也明显是错的。A:美国人欠墨西哥人一大笔钱。只要弄清第一句indebted有负债和受恩惠的意思,在通听全文后得知是后一种意思,所以A也不对。故选D。
