【C5】
选项 A、turned
B、shown
C、compared
D、recommended
答案C
解析 分析本填空前后的原文已知线索，之前的原文信息为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，the only practical way强调了火车的先进性。综合上述线索，四个选项中只有C项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C项compared。
