问题 The fastest transatlantic voyage by a packet mentioned by the author was from ______ .
According to the author, in which decade of the nineteenth century did a steamship first attempt to compete with transatlantic packets?

选项 A、The twenties.
B、The fifties.
C、The forties.
D、The thirties.

答案D

解析 题目问哪个年代汽船开始试图和邮船竞争。从文章的最后一句“No wonder that steamships,the first of which tried to compete with the packets in 1838,only began to replace them in the 1850s.”看出,蒸汽机船在1838年开始试图与邮船竞争,并在 19世纪50年代开始替代邮船。1838年正值19世纪30年代,所以答案为D。
