system. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used
Chinese labor, the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish laborers. (6)______
The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each tried to cover a (7)______
greater distance than the other. In 1869, they met at a place called
Promontory. Many visitors came there for the great occasion. There
were joyous celebrations all over the country, with parades and the
ringing of church bells honor the great achievement. (8)______
The railroad was very important in discouraging westward movement. (9)______

选项
答案
∧the Union一while
解析
句法结构错误。此处前后两个句子表示对比:前句提到“The Central Pacific Company usedChinese labor”:后句提到“the Union Pacific em-ployed crews of Irish laborers”.故应使用while“而”来连接这两个句子。
