　　托福阅读句子简化题：Powering the Industrial Revolution

　　【Paragraph 1】In Britain one of the most dramatic changes of the Industrial Revolution was the harnessing of　power. Until the reign of George Ⅲ(1760-1820), available sources of power for work and travel had not increased since　the Middle Ages. There were three sources of power: animal or human muscles; the wind, operating on sail or windmill;　and running water. Only the last of these was suited at all to the continuous operating of machines, and although　　waterpower abounded in Lancashire and Scotland and ran grain mills as well as textile mills, it had one great　disadvantage: streams flowed where nature intended them to, and water-driven factories had to be located on their　banks whether or not the location was desirable for other reasons. Furthermore, even the most reliable waterpower　varied with the seasons and disappeared in a drought. The new age of machinery, in short, could not have been born　without a new source of both movable and constant power.(Powering the Industrial Revolution)

　　Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the　passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.　　○ Running water was the best power source for factories since it could keep machines operating continuously,　but since it was abundant only in Lancashire and Scotland, most mills and factories that were located elsewhere　could not be water driven.

　　○ The disadvantage of using waterpower is that streams do not necessarily flow in places that are the most

　　suitable for factories, which explains why so many water-powered grain and textile mills were located in　undesirable places.

　　○ Since machines could be operated continuously only where running water was abundant, grain and textile mills,　as well as other factories, tended to be located only in Lancashire and Scotland.

　　○ Running water was the only source of power that was suitable for the continuous operation of machines, but to　make use of it, factories had to be located where the water was, regardless of whether such locations made　sense otherwise.
