The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were both breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.
America’ s War of Independence heralded the birth of modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population form the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer——the United States——based itself squarely on republican principles.
Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home - grown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.
What does the author mean by "people went on working and praying, marrying and playing" in paragraph one?
选项
A、People had enough leisure time then.
B、More people get married than divorced.
C、Life went on as usual.
D、The war created new jobs.
答案
C
解析
根据文章第一段可得知,在冲突期间,人们仍然上班、做礼拜、结婚、玩耍。多数人并没有受到实际战斗的严重影响。许多较闭塞的社区对这场战争几乎一无所知。由此推断出C项符合题意。
