Ⅶ.阅读理解

The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things：the invention of labour-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture.Labour-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labour was scarce：“In Europe，”said Thomas Jefferson，“the object is to take the most of their land，labour being more than enough；here it is to make the most of our labor，land being more than enough.”It was in the United States，therefore，that the great advance in the nineteenth century agriculture machinery first came. At the opening of the century，with the exception of a crude plow，farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs；by 1860，most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form.The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow.As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention.The farmers，however，were not interested in it，claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and weeds grew.Nevertheless，many people developed their attention to the plow，until 1869 James Oliver of South Bend，India，turned out the first chilled-steel plow. 1．What is the main topic of the passage? A．The need for an agriculture advance to help to feed a growing population. B．The development of a saver machinery demanded by the labor movement. C．Machinery that contributed to the agriculture revolution. D．New Jersey as a leader in the agriculture revolution. 答案
