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 not 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 three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx of English-speaking population from 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 new comer—the United States—based itself squarely on republican principles.
Yet even the political overturn was not as 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.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
选项
A、The United States: An Isolated Community
B、Surprising Events During the American Revolution
C、Canada and the American War of Independence
D、The American Revolution: Evolution Not Revolution
答案
D
解析
主旨题。通读全文可知,文章的结构是总一分结构。第一段是总括段,第二、三段是分段。根据第一段中“The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a radical or total change.”“Significant changes were ushered in,but they were not breathtaking.What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution.”可知美国革命并未导致完全的和彻底的变化,所发生的只是进化的加速,并不算是一场革命。所以D项“美国革命:进化而不是革命”作为文章标题最恰当。
