Passage One：
One of the most popular myths about the United States in the 19th century was that of the free and simple life of the farmer. It was said that farmers worked hard on their own land to produce whatever their families needed. They might sometimes trade with their neighbors, but in general they could get along well by relying on themselves, not on commercial ties with others. This is how Thomas Jefferson idealized the famer. At the beginning of the 19th century sweeping changes in agriculture were well under way as farmers began to specialize in the raising of crops such as cotton or wheat.
By late in the century revolutionary advances in farm machinery had vastly increased production of specialized crops and extensive network of railroads had linked farmers throughout the country to markets in the east and even overseas. By raising and selling specialized crops, farmers could afford more and finer goods and achieved a much higher standard of living but at a low price. Now farmers were no longer dependent just on the weather and their own efforts; their lives were increasingly controlled by banks, which had power to grant or deny loans for new machinery, and by the railroads which set the rates for shipping their crops to markets. As businessmen, farmers now had to worry about the national economic depressions and the influence of the 19th century, the era of Jefferson’s independent farmer had come to a close.
1. Which of the following is increasingly controlling the farmer’s lives? (A)
A) Banks and railroads.
B) Weather and their own efforts.
C) The specialized crops they sell.
D) Commercial ties with others.
