Telephone, television radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach Americas. This time difference influenced people’s actions For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have bt en avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.
The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed______.
选项
A、in America
B、in England
C、by both sides
D、in time
答案
A
解析
利用专有名词The New OrleansBattle可将答案定位至:艾章结尾处。分析定位句可知,作者提及这场战争是作为例子,用以说明二百年前的洲际通讯速度非常缓慢,影响到了人们的行为。因此可以推断,如果和平协议是在美国签署,就无需花费漫长的时间将消息从英国传至美国,这场战争就有可能避免。
