【C5】

选项 A、turned
B、shown
C、compared
D、recommended

答案C

解析 分析本填空两边的原文已知线索,之前原文信息为:Trains were fast,very luxurious,and quite convenient;之后的原文信息为:other forms of transportation existing at the time(当时其他的交通工具)。这里能看出有一个比较关系的存在,特别是本段落的首句已经讲述了:At one time,trains were the only practical way to ________ the vast areas of the west.说明火车是唯一可以穿越西部的方式,这个the only practical way 已经强调了火车的先进性。综合上述线索,四个选项中只有线索,四个选项中只有C) compared最符合本题题意,即“与当时的其他交通工具相比,trains were fast,very luxurious,and quite convenient”,所以答案为选项C)compared。
