What does the weather probably like in Mexico?
In countless other ways, the people of the United States are indebted to the Mexicans who once lived in the old Southwest. There were only 75 thousand of them when Mexico ceded the region to the United States, and these were scattered from the Gulf Coast in the east to the shores of the Pacific in the west. They had lived in the borderlands since 1598, more than twenty years before the Pilgrims sailed for the New World. In the course of more than 250 years , they had left their mark on the land. Many of the western states in the United States still bear the lovely lyrical names the Mexican settlers first wrote upon their maps. So do countless rivers and mountains, and thousands of cities and towns. Through trial and error, the rugged Mexicans had learned to survive and prosper in the dry, half-desert land. When English-speaking people poured into the region, the Spanish-speaking people shared their knowledge with the new settlers, making things much easier for them.. Settlers in other parts of the United States did not have this advantage.
选项
A、More than 250 years have passed.
B、Nearly 385 years have passed.
C、Approximately 365 years have passed.
D、Exactly 300 years have passed.
答案
B
解析
推理题。原文提到墨西哥人从1598年开始居住在海岸边上,在此之后的二十多年清教徒移民才到达美国,因此可推算出是在1618年以后发生的事,距离如今应该是382到392年之间,最接近的选项是B。
