【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。
