The 19th-century British Aristocracy
The British aristocracy had always been involved in industrialization, especially in the development of mining, canals, and railways. It now shrewdly associated itself with the new wave of commercial expansion: most banks and insurance companies had a lord to add tone to the managerial board. It also shored up its fortunes by astute marriages, notably with the new aristocracy of wealth in the United States; the best-known example was the marriage of the duke of Marlborough to Consuelo Vanderbilt. By these means, many of the great aristocratic estates were preserved despite agricultural decline. But they were playthings as well as engines of wealth, and came to be treated as such. The aristocracy came to be known to the urban population chiefly through their representation in the popular press and magazines as men and women of leisure; racing, hunting, shooting, and fishing in the country, gambling and attending the season in London. In a population for which leisure was becoming increasingly important, this did not make the aristocracy unpopular.
Judging from the content of the passage, Consuelo Vanderbilt was______.
选项
A、male, and from a rich business family in the United Sates
B、female, and from a British wealthy family of industry
C、male, and from a rich industrial family of Britain
D、female, and from an entrepreneur family in America
答案
D
解析
推理题。文章第三句前半句说的是贵族也会通过精明的婚姻,特别是通过在美国和财富新贵结婚来维持自己的财富。后半句是在此基础上举了一个典型的例子,即最知名的例子就是马尔伯罗公爵和康斯薇洛·范德比尔特的婚姻。所以正确答案是D。
