判断题
Though inland waterways were important transportation system, they were soon replaced by the more convenient railroads.
答案
参考答案:对
解析:
[分析]: 推理判断题。 根据原文Politically the waterway system united the nation in a way few had imagined possible,by the mid-1800s,faster and cheaper railroads became more popular and the canal system declined可知,从政治角度看水运系统将全国联系起来,这几乎没人能想到。到 19世纪中期,更为快捷、便宜的铁路运输日益流行,运河水运衰落了。由此可推断该句前半部分说明了水运系统的重要性,而后半句则表明其衰落的必然性。因此题干的说法与原文相符,是正确的。[解题关键] 能够根据语句意思进行正确推断。
