Steamships were first introduced into the United States in 1807, and John Moison built the first steamship in Canada(then called British North America)in 1809. By the 1830s dozens of steam vessels were in use in Canada. They offered the traveler reliable transportation in comfortable facilities--a welcome alternative to stagecoach travel which at the best of times could only be described as wretched. This commitment to dependable river transport became entrenched with the investment of millions of dollars for the improvement of waterways, which included the construction of canals and lock systems.
The Lachine and Welland Canals, two of the most important systems, were opened in 1825 and 1829, respectively.
By the time that Upper and Lower Canada were united into the Province of Canada in 1841 ,the public debt for canals was more than one hundred dollars per capita, an enormous sum for the time. But it may not seem such a great amount if we consider that improvements allowed steamboats to remain practical for most commercial transport in Canada until the mid-nineteenth century.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about stagecoach travel in Canada in the 1830s?
选项
A、It was reasonably comfortable.
B、It was extremely efficient.
C、It was not popular.
D、It was very practical.
答案
C
解析
本题为综合推理题。文章中提到“By the 1830s dozens of steam vessels were in use in Canada.They offered the traveler reliable transportation in comfortable facilities——a welcome alternative to stagecoach travel which at the best of times could only be described as wretched.(到19世纪30年代,加拿大有几十艘轮船投入使用。它们以其舒适的设备为游客提供了可靠的交通方式,备受欢迎,替代了当时盛行却只能被看成是可怜的马车旅行。)”既然轮船替代了马车,当然,马车就不再流行了。
