In 1848 a settler in distant, undeveloped California discovered gold near Sacramento(萨克拉曼多).As the news spread, a great tide of gold hungry men flowed into California.They came from all parts of the United States in tens of thousands.There were even gold seekers from Europe.Some of the people move across the country by cart, traveling almost half a year and meeting many hardships and dangers.Other sailed all the way around South Africa, finally reached the California shore.Since the first discovery was of tiny pieces of gold at the bottom of a stream, many of them searched the waters of rivers for the precious bits of yellow metal.Others made channels to draw off flowing water in order to examine it carefully for bits of gold.They worked with almost full determination and fierce competition(竞争).
Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gold rush.A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed.After having removed from their homes and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they found little or nothing.Some returned home.But many remained in California to work and to settle as ordinary citizens without the riches they had dreamed of.
A great many people remained in California because_________.
选项
A、they found what they had expected
B、life there was full of competitions
C、they had no better choices
D、they still dreamed of the riches
答案
C
解析
由题干中的关键词a great many people remained in California锁定信息在第二段。阅读该段可知,淘金者的生活很艰苦,只有少数几个淘金者发家致富了,大多人背井离乡,不远万里来到加州淘金,最终却没淘到或淘到很少的金子。有些人回家了,更多的人则留了下来继续过普通人的生活。因为并没有得到梦想中的财富,他们只有靠努力工作来养家糊口。A项“他们找到了他们期望的东西”和D项“他们还梦想着找到金子”与文章内容相悖;B项 “那里的生活充满竞争”是迫使人们离开的原因。C项“他们没有更好的选择”接近原文,故选C。
