As Philadelphia grew from a small town into a city in the first half of the eighteenth century, it became an increasingly important marketing center for a vast agricultural hinterland. Market days【1】the crowded city even more crowded, as farmers from within a【2】of 24 or more kilometers brought their sheep, vegetables, cider and other products for direct sale to the【3】. The High Street Market was continuously【4】throughout the period until 1736,【5】it【6】from Front Street to Third. By 1745 New Market was opened on Second Street. The next year the Callow Hill Market began【7】.
Along with market days, the【8】of twice-yearly fairs persisted in Philadelphia【9】after similar trading days had been discontinued in other colonial cities. The【10】provided a means of bringing handmade goods from【11】places to would-be buyers in the city. Linens and stockings from Germantown,【12】, were popular items.
Auctions were another popular【13】 of trade. Because of the competition, retail【14】opposed these as well as the fairs.【15】governmental attempts to eradicate fairs and auctions were less than successful, the ordinary【16】of economic development was on the merchants’side, as increasing business specialization became the【17】of the day. Export merchants became differentiated from their importing counterparts, and specialty shops began to appear【18】general stores selling a variety of goods.
One of the reasons Philadelphia’s merchants prospered was because the surrounding area was undergoing tremendous economic and demographic growth. They did their business,【19】, in the capital city of the province,【20】to not only the governor and his circle, but citizens from all over the colony.
选项
A、envisioned
B、endangered
C、enriched
D、enlarged
答案
D
解析
本题要求考生判断空格处应填入的动词使所在句子意义完整。The High Street Market was continuously 4 throughout the period until 1736,...from Front Street to Third. 由于本题缺失的是句子而分,因此,为了便于做题,理解时去除该句的修饰成分,将句子简化为:该市场在某时期内不断地……。比较四个选项,填入D选项后可理解为“该市场在某时期内不断地扩张”,如此理解最为通顺。而且在后文中的“从前街到第三大街”也可以印证该市场在不断扩张。因此,D选项enlarged正确。
