"The pen is more powerful than the sword. "There have been many writers who use their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.
She was born is the U. S. A. in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the slaves. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won. This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom’s Cabin (《汤姆叔叔的小屋》). There was a time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child had read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting if only to show how a warm-hearted writer can arouse(唤起) people’s sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor seen a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent (描述) the true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were widely excited over it, and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.
Why did Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book cause a civil war?
选项
A、She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.
B、She disclosed the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slave in the Southern States.
C、The Southern Americans hated the book, while the Northern Americans liked it.
D、The book had been read by many Americans.
答案
B
解析
这是指文中的“arouse people’s sympathies”唤起人们对黑奴的同情。
