Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any of other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him.
One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total
blackout
. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets,and factories.
Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question.
On the day of Edison’s funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.
The suggested plan was to______ ( )
选项
A、turn off the lights in factories and schools
B、observe a few minutes of total silence
C、dim all electric lights
D、shut off all electricity for a short time
答案
D
解析
细节题。“建议的方案是什么?”D选项“关掉一会儿所有的电”正确。文中第二段说One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout。A选项“关闭工厂和学校的灯”,文中没提及;B选项“沉默几分钟”,文中没提及;C选项“关暗所有的电灯”也不正确。
