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.
We can refer from the passage that the White House was first built ______.
选项
A、on a low and damp site
B、among trees and flowers
C、on a small island
D、on a small hill
答案
A
解析
本题是推断题。见第三段“it was a huge mansion in the middle of a swamp”部分。swamp意为“沼泽”,即低湿之地。不能选B,花木是以后才栽种的。故答案为A。
