问题     In 1848 a settler in distant, undeveloped California discovered gold near Sacramento(萨克拉曼多). As the news spread, a great tide of gold hungry men flowed into California. They came from all parts of the United States in tens of thousands. There were even gold seekers from Europe.  Some of the people move across the country by cart, traveling almost half a year and meeting many hardships and dangers. Other sailed all the way around South Africa, finally reached the California shore. Since the first discovery was of tiny pieces of gold at the bottom of a stream, many of them searched the waters of rivers for the precious bits of yellow metal. Others made channels to draw off flowing water in order to examine it carefully for bits of gold. They worked with almost full determination and fierce competition (竞争).
    Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gold rush. A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed. After having removed from their homes and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they found little or nothing. Some returned home. But many remained in California to work and to settle as ordinary citizens without the riches they had dreamed of.
Which is the best title of the passage?
选项 A、The California Gold Rush
B、Gold Seekers
C、The Hard and Rough Life in California
D、How to Find Gold in California
答案A
解析 阅读全文可知，全文围绕加州淘金热展开，描写了淘金者的生活状况和结果。B项“淘金者”主题过于宽泛；C项“加州的艰苦生活”不能概括文章主题，文章第二段提到了淘金者在加州的艰苦生活；D项“如何在加州寻找金子”与文章内容相去甚远。 A项“加州淘金热”与文章主题相吻合，故选A。
