The American Revolution was a citizen’s revolution. Ordinary men took a large part in it. One of them was Paul Revere, a silver worker. He lived in Boston many years ago during the time when many people in the British colonies in America felt that they were being used for Britain’s gain. They felt that they were being taxed without fair representation in the British government. The people of Boston were especially angry, and additional British troops had been sent there to keep the excited colonists under control. Paul Revere was one of those who believed that the British would soon be on the march against the villages and farms near Boston.
On the night of the eighteenth of April, 1775, Revere rowed across the Charles River to a place opposite Boston where his saddled horse was ready to ride. If the British soldiers came, he was to ride to warn the people. A friend in Boston was hidden near the British troops in a place where he could watch what they did. If they marched by land, he was to hang one lantern (灯笼) high in the tower of the old North Church in Boston where Paul could see it. If they came by sea, he would hang up two lanterns.
Toward morning Revere saw two lights in the tower. The British must be coming by sea! He jumped on his horse and rode through the countryside before dawn in order to warn the farmers and villagers that they must fight at the daybreak. He rode all night and in the morning, by the time the troops arrived, the farmers were hidden all along the roads with their guns loaded. When the British came, the Americans drove them back. These first battles of the American Revolution were fought at Concord and at Lexington, Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775. In 1776 the colonies signed a declaration of independence.
All of the following are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT______.
选项
A、the American Revolution was a revolt
B、Paul’s friend signaled from a church
C、the British troops were sent to control the colonists
D、Paul’s friend was serving in the British army
答案
D
解析
本题是一道判断是非题。问下面哪个选项是文章中没有提到的。根据文章第一句话我们可以推知,A“美国革命是一场反叛”在文章中提到了。文章第二段后半部分指出,保罗的一位在波士顿的朋友隐蔽在当地英军驻地的附近,可以窥探他们的行动。如果英军陆路进军,他就在波士顿旧北教堂的塔里高挂一盏灯笼以示保罗,如果他们走水路,他便挂起两盏灯笼。由此,我们可以推断,B“保罗的朋友从教堂里给他发信号”这个选项也是文章中提到了的。而C“英军被派来控制那些殖民地人”在文章的第一段中倒数第二句话中也提到了。因此,只有D“保罗的朋友在英军中服役”文章中没有提及。所以,本题的正确答案应是D。
