The development of Jamestown in Virginia during the second half of the seventeenth century was closely related to the making and using of bricks. There were several practical reasons why bricks became important to the colony. Although the forests could initially supply sufficient timber, the process of lumbering was extremely difficult, particularly because of the lack of roads. Later, when the timber on the peninsula had been depleted, wood had to be brought from some distance. Building stone were also in short supply.
However, as clay was plentiful, it was inevitable that the colonists would turn to brick-making.
In addition to practical reasons for using brick as the principal construction material, there was also an ideological reason. Brick represented durability and permanence. The Virginia Company of London instructed the colonists to build hospitals and new residences out of brick. In 1662, the Town Act of the Virginia Assembly provided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildings and prohibited the use of wood as a construction material. Had this law ever been successfully enforced, Jamestown would have been a model city. Instead, the residents failed to comply fully with the law. By 1699, Jamestown had collapsed into a pile of rubble with only three or four habitable houses.
It can be inferred that the Virginia Assembly, by passing a law regarding building construction, hoped to______.
选项
A、increase the manufacture of bricks
B、prevent the destruction of trees in the area of Jamestown
C、establish a city that would be an example for the future
D、discourage people from settling in Jamestown
答案
C
解析
文章第二段中第五句:“Had this laweven been successfully enforced,Jamestown wouldhave been a model city.”为虚拟语气,意思为:这项法律没有得到贯彻,所以Jamestown也就没有成为城市的典范。据此,可推断弗吉尼亚州议会通过这项法律的初衷是希望能把Jamestown建成一座未来城市的典范。故选C。
