When the Western European nations rose to power in the 15th and 16th centuries, their aim was to find a trade route to the East.
Competition for the priceless Eastern trade was intense, and France, with ports on the Mediterranean, was a special rival of England. During the 17th and 18th centuries she considered the possibility of piercing the Isthmus of Suez for a shortcut waterway to the East. With Napoleon when he occupied Egypt went a noted French engineer, to study the problem.
But it was not until 1859 that a Frenchman, Ferdinand de Lesseps, who had long been fascinated by the idea of a canal, turned the first spadeful of earth to start the excavations.
De Lesseps, by virtue of his diplomacy and charm, had found favor with the Egyptian viceroy. Over bitter opposition from the British, who saw communication with their Indian empire threatened, he had won concessions from the Egyptians and Turks, making possible for the work to go forward.
Although de Lesseps had hoped to have the enterprise financed by all the great western powers, most of the capital was provided by France and Egypt. Finally de Lesseps’ dream was realized, and in the summer of 1869 the waters of the Red Sea and the Mediterranean were united.
Ferdinand de Lesseps expected that the building of the canal would______.
选项
A、give France a tremendous advantage
B、improve living conditions in Egypt
C、bring peace to the Middle East
D、be aided by England, France and Germany
答案
D
解析
根据文章第五段,虽然勒赛普曾希望他的工程能得到西欧强权的资助,但是其大部分资金都是由法国和埃及提供的。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“由英国、法国和德国资助”。而选项A、B、C所讲的内容文章并未提及,因此都是错误的。
