The railroads are criticized【C3】______ their part in settling the West too rapidly.【C4】______ , there were abuses【C5】______ with building and operating the railroads, but it must be pointed out that they performed a useful service in【C6】______ the frontier and helping to achieve national【C7】______ .

Justice was almost entirely 【C11】______ the Indians’ side. The land was clearly theirs; frequently their title was legally【C12】______ by a treaty negotiated with the federal government. The Indians,【C13】______ , lacked the military force and political power to protect this right.

【C15】
选项
A、means
B、way
C、method
D、mode
答案
A
解析
考查近义词辨析。means指任何用来达到目的的东西,可指具体的事物,也可指行动、方法、手段等,这里means of existence指“生存的手段”;way指“做事的方式”; method指系统而有条理的做事或解决问题的方法;mode是指生活或行为的特定方式。此外,后面的同位语“野牛”不能是“方式或方法”,因此,这里只有means是最佳选项。
