The development of Jamestown in Virginia during the second half of the seventeenth century was closely related to the making and using of bricks.
There were several practical reasons why bricks became important to the colony. Although the forests could initially supply sufficient timber, the process of lumbering was extremely difficult, particularly because of the lack of roads. Later, when the timber on the peninsula had been depleted, wood had to be brought from some distance. Building stone were also in short supply.
However, as clay was plentiful, it was inevitable that the colonists would turn to brick-making
.
In addition to practical reasons for using brick as the principal construction material, there was also an ideological reason. Brick represented durability and permanence. The Virginia Company of London instructed the colonists to build hospitals and new residences out of brick. In 1662, the Town Act of the Virginia Assembly provided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildings and prohibited the use of wood as a construction material. Had this law ever been successfully enforced, Jamestown would have been a model city. Instead, the residents failed to comply fully with the law. By 1699, Jamestown had collapsed into a pile of rubble with only three or four habitable houses.
It can be inferred from the passage that Jamestown was established on______.
选项
A、a rocky peninsula with a small forest area
B、a barren peninsula near other towns
C、an uninhabitable peninsula with few natural resources
D、a wooded peninsula with clay soil
答案
D
解析
从文章第一段最后一句:“However,as clay was plentiful it was inevitable that the colonists would turn to brick-making.”可知,Jamestown多树而且泥土丰富,故选D。A不对,因为在Jamestown用砖建造房屋前,是用木料作为建筑材料的,可见森林面积不小,如果多岩石就不会出现石料短缺;B、C项不正确是因为Jamestown所在半岛上有森林,因此不会是光秃秃的,也不可能没有自然资源;而且也不是个不能居住的地方。
