The 19th-century British Aristocracy
The British aristocracy had always been involved in industrialization, especially in the development of mining, canals, and railways. It now shrewdly associated itself with the new wave of commercial expansion: most banks and insurance companies had a lord to add tone to the managerial board. It also shored up its fortunes by astute marriages, notably with the new aristocracy of wealth in the United States; the best-known example was the marriage of the duke of Marlborough to Consuelo Vanderbilt. By these means, many of the great aristocratic estates were preserved despite agricultural decline. But they were playthings as well as engines of wealth, and came to be treated as such. The aristocracy came to be known to the urban population chiefly through their representation in the popular press and magazines as men and women of leisure; racing, hunting, shooting, and fishing in the country, gambling and attending the season in London. In a population for which leisure was becoming increasingly important, this did not make the aristocracy unpopular.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、The 19th-century British aristocrats were treated as decorations in public life and were used to make money by press.
B、The 19th-century British aristocrats were toys of the rich capitalists and were made to earn profits for them.
C、The 19th-century British aristocrats acted as playmates of people in pleasure-seeking such as hunting, fishing, and shooting.
D、The 19th-century British aristocrats were popular figures in advertisements because they lived a leisurely life.
答案
A
解析
细节题。从文中的内容可知,贵族既是受人摆布的人,又是制造财富的工具,并且也受到如此的待遇。贵族主要是通过供人娱乐消遣的流行报刊和杂志的表述而为城里的人们所知。所以正确答案是A项。
