The White House is the home of the President of the United States and his family. It wasn’t called the White House until Teddy Roosevelt named it in 1901.
James Hoban designed the White House in 1792. He was awarded the job because he had won a contest sponsored by the government. His design had been selected as the best.
President John Adams was the first to live in the White House. When he and his wife, Abigail moved in, it was a huge mansion in the middle of a swamp. Many of the rooms were unfinished. Abigail used the famous East Room as a drying room for laundry. More rooms were decorated every year. Rare shrubs and trees were planted on the grounds.
Yet, all this work was for nothing. In the war of 1812, the British burned the mansion to the ground. The White House was rebuilt in 1817. The beauty of its decorations and furnishings has been growing ever since.
The White House was sponsored by the government. This means that the government ______.
选项
A、received the prize
B、held the contest
C、did the designing
D、was against having a contest
答案
B
解析
本题是事实细节题。本题问“The White House was sponsored by the government.”的意思。见第二段“he had won a contest sponsored by the government”部分。sponsor意为“发起,主办”,可见建造白宫是政府的主意,政府举办了比赛来征集设计方案。故答案为B。
