As Philadelphia grew from a small town into a city in the first half of the eighteenth century, it became an increasingly important marketing center for a vast agricultural hinterland. Market days【1】the crowded city even more crowded, as farmers from within a【2】of 24 or more kilometers brought their sheep, vegetables, cider and other products for direct sale to the【3】. The High Street Market was continuously【4】throughout the period until 1736,【5】it【6】from Front Street to Third. By 1745 New Market was opened on Second Street. The next year the Callow Hill Market began【7】.
Along with market days, the【8】of twice-yearly fairs persisted in Philadelphia【9】after similar trading days had been discontinued in other colonial cities. The【10】provided a means of bringing handmade goods from【11】places to would-be buyers in the city. Linens and stockings from Germantown,【12】, were popular items.
Auctions were another popular【13】 of trade. Because of the competition, retail【14】opposed these as well as the fairs.【15】governmental attempts to eradicate fairs and auctions were less than successful, the ordinary【16】of economic development was on the merchants’side, as increasing business specialization became the【17】of the day. Export merchants became differentiated from their importing counterparts, and specialty shops began to appear【18】general stores selling a variety of goods.
One of the reasons Philadelphia’s merchants prospered was because the surrounding area was undergoing tremendous economic and demographic growth. They did their business,【19】, in the capital city of the province,【20】to not only the governor and his circle, but citizens from all over the colony.
选项

B、Since
C、Although
D、If
答案
C
解析
本题要求考生根据上下文选择符合上下句逻辑关系的逻辑连词。 (15) ...to eradicate fairs and auctions were less than successful,...economic:development was on the merchants’ side,as increasing business specialization...面对这种题目,一定要将空格前后的信息进行简化,从而排除干扰,突显前后的逻辑关系。句中eradicate的意思是“取缔”,less than是否定意义(决不),on one’s side表示偏重于某一方,因此,本句可以简要地理解为“……取缔集市和拍卖未果,经济重心在商家一方,由于商业专门化……”,从上一题中得知“商家”与“集市、拍卖”因竞争而对立,那么“取缔集市和竞争未果”这种情况对商家而言是不利的,但后面又说“由于商业专门化,经济重心在商家”,显然商家处于有利地位,前后形成转折,因此空格内填“虽然”,C选项正确。
