Nine times as many Americans died in the farmlands near Antietam Creek in the fall of 1862 than died on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, the so-called longest day of World War II. The bloodiest single day of war in the nation’s history came when General Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army undertook its first engagement on northern soil. According to the Antietam National Battlefield park service, when the fighting had subsided, more than 23,000 soldiers lay dead or wounded, more than all of the dead or wounded Americans in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican War, and Spanish-American War combined.
Just a week after his army’s victory in the Second Battle of Bull Run, Lee resolved to advance the front into Northern territory. The vast farm fields of western Maryland were ready for harvest, and Lee saw in them an opportunity to nourish his soldiers, replenish his supplies, and turn the residents of the undecided border state to his cause.
Which of the following statements about Maryland can be inferred from the passage?
选项
A、Numerous farmers in Maryland had freed their slaves before the commencement of the Civil War.
B、While Maryland was not a Confederate state, some residents were sympathetic to the Southern cause.
C、General Lee intended to pillage the farms of Maryland in order to feed his troops.
D、Many Southern fighters were originally from Maryland.
E、The battle at Normandy is more important than the battle at Antietam.
答案
B
解析
The best answer is B. Maryland is identified as an undecided border state and Lee thought it could be swung to support the South. These points support choice B. Note that, while more than one answer choice is factually true, only choice B is implied within the passage.
