The 19th-century British Aristocracy
The British aristocracy had always been involved in industrialization, especially in the development of mining, canals, and railways. It now shrewdly associated itself with the new wave of commercial expansion: most banks and insurance companies had a lord to add tone to the managerial board. It also shored up its fortunes by astute marriages, notably with the new aristocracy of wealth in the United States; the best-known example was the marriage of the duke of Marlborough to Consuelo Vanderbilt. By these means, many of the great aristocratic estates were preserved despite agricultural decline. But they were playthings as well as engines of wealth, and came to be treated as such. The aristocracy came to be known to the urban population chiefly through their representation in the popular press and magazines as men and women of leisure: racing, hunting, shooting, and fishing in the country, gambling and attending the season in London. In a population for which leisure was becoming increasingly important, this did not make the aristocracy unpopular.
The "astute marriages" in the passage refers to marriages between_____.
选项
A、British aristocracy and rich American entrepreneurs
B、old British aristocratic families and newly knighted aristocracy of wealth
C、aristocratic families and new business families of money and enterprises
D、big landlord families in the British countryside and rich American tycoons of industry
答案
C
解析
题目问:“狡猾的婚姻”涉及的是在什么人之间的联姻。通过阅读文章可知,为了各自的利益,新兴资本家与旧贵族之间基于金钱和事业的目的,通过联姻方式巩固关系,以实现各自的利益。“most banks andinsurance companies had a lord to add tone to the managerial board.”“it also shored up its fortunesby astute marriages,notably with the new aristocracy of wealth in the United States”此段话表明了这一事实,所以,答案是C。
