Telephone, television radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach Americas. This time difference influenced people’s actions For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have bt en avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.
What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
选项
A、The world is changing in size.
B、The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.
C、The world is actually smaller today.
D、The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.
答案
B
解析
由题干中的the second paragraph和选项中的The world定位至第二段前半部分。该部分指出通讯速度的提高改变了这个世界,对很多人来说世界变小了,当然这不是说世界真的变小了,而是说交流速度的加快使人们感觉世界像是变小了。由此可知B)符合文意,为本题的正确答案。
