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【B1】______the crowded city even more crowded, as farmers from within a【B2】______of 24 or more kilometers brought their sheep, vegetables, cider and other products for direct sale to the【B3】______The High Street Market was continuously【B4】______throughout the period until 1736,【B5】______it【B6】______from Front Street to Second. By 1745 New Market was opened on Third Street. The next year the Callow Hill Market began【B7】______
Along with market days, the【B8】______of twice-yearly fairs persisted in Philadelphia【B9】______after similar trading days had been discontinued in other colonial cities. The【B10】______provided a means of bringing handmade goods from【B11】______places to would-be buyers in the city. Linens and stockings from German-town ,【B12】______, were popular items.
Auctions were another popular【B13】______of trade. Because of the competition, retail【B14】______opposed these as well as the fairs.【B15】______governmental attempts to eradicate fairs and auctions were less than successful, the ordinary【B16】______of economic development was on the merchants’ side, as increasing business specialization became the【B17】______of the day.

One of the reasons Philadelphia’s merchants prospered was that the surrounding area was undergoing tremendous economic and demographic growth.

【B14】
选项
A、merchants
B、farmers
C、government
D、citizens
答案
A
解析
本题要求考生根据上下文选择符合原文含义的名词。Because of the competition,retail 14 opposed these as well as the fairs.句中these指auctions,本句可理解为“由于竞争,零售……反对拍卖和集市”,选项[A]merchants(商人)和retail搭配最恰当;而且从后文可以看出,政府也曾试图取缔集市和拍卖,经济发展偏向于商人(on the merchants’side),从而印证了空格里的内容应该是merchants。
