The Civil War came about as a result of many differences between the North and the South. The differences had their beginnings in the early 1800s.  Tensions continued to grow for several decades. When the war began in 1861, most American believed the conflict would not last long. Instead, it stretched into four years of bloody fight. In the end, more Americans died in the Civil War than in any war the nation had fought.
    The disagreements between the North and the South centered on the following five issues: slavery, tariffs, taxes, political power in the House of Representative, and political power in the Senate. People in the North had strong feelings about each of these issues.  So did the people in the South. Each side had reasons for the way it felt.
    Many people in the North did not believe in slavery. They thought the people of the South should not own slaves.  Although some southerners opposed slavery, most felt they needed slaves to raise cotton and tobacco, which were the pillar economy.  On the other hand, the North’ s economy was based on manufacturing industry not plantation agriculture. The northern ers opposed slavery in the South since they had not enough people to work in their factories and wanted to get human resources. In the end the North won the war and the Union was saved.
选项 A、Because they needed workers to raise cotton and tobacco.
B、Because they thought slavery economy inhumane.
C、Because they wanted to unite their country.
D、Because their pillar economy asked for more labor forces.
答案D
解析 判断题+排除法。通过浏览选项可知，本题问的是“为什么”，所以听短文时要特别关注选项所示的相关信息，并做好标记。美国内战前，南方是以种植业为主的农业社会，北方是以加工业为主的工业社会，双方都需要劳动力发展自己的支柱产业，这是南北战争爆发的一个社会原因。选项A讲述的应该是南方的而不是北方的情况，参考原文中关键句子，“Although some southerners opposed slavery，most felt they needed slaves to raise cotton and tobacco，which were the pillar economy”，选项A不能选择；第一眼看到选项B就会认为是正确答案，的确选项 B可能是正确答案，农奴制是不人道的残酷的，但是本文并未提到反对农奴制度的人道主义立场，本文主要从经济学的角度说明北方反对农奴制度，从而进一步导致了南北内战，所以选项B不能选，做题切忌先人为主自以为是，相反，做题一定是按照文章的观点而不是考生自己的观点来判断作选择。北方反对农奴制导致南北战争爆发，持续四年的内战以北方战胜统一美国而告终，这是战争的结果，不是北方反对农奴制度的原因，选项C逻辑出错，本末倒置，不能选择；美国内战前，北方的支柱产业是加工制造业，南方是农场种植业，北方的工厂劳动力需求很大，北方需要南方种植园里的黑人劳动力发展经济，参考原文中关键句子“On the other hand，the North’s economy was based on manufacturing industry not plantation agriculture．The northerners opposed slavery in the South since they had not enough people to work in their factories and wanted to get human resources．”，由此可见，选项D是正确答案。
