　　托福阅读修辞目的题：the Industrial Revolution

　　【Paragraph 1】For years historians have sought to identify crucial elements in the eighteenth-century rise in　industry, technology, and economic power known as the Industrial Revolution, and many give prominence to the problem　of energy. Until the eighteenth century, people relied on energy derived from plants as well as animal and human muscle　　to provide power. Increased efficiency in the use of water and wind helped with such tasks as pumping, milling, or sailing.　However, by the eighteenth century, Great Britain in particular was experiencing an energy shortage. Wood, the primary　source of heat for homes and industries and also used in the iron industry as processed charcoal, was diminishing in　supply. Great Britain had large amounts of coal; however, there were not yet efficient means by which to produce　mechanical energy or to power machinery. This was to occur with progress in the development of the steam engine.　(Energy and the Industrial Revolution)

　　Why does the author provide the information that “Great Britain had large amounts of coal”?

　　○ To reject the claim that Britain was facing an energy shortage in the eighteenth century

　　○ To explain why coal rather than other energy resources became the primary source of heat for homes and

　　industries in eighteenth-century Britain

　　○To indicate that Britain’s energy shortage was not the result of a lack of fuel

　　○ To explain why coal mining became an important industry in nineteenth-century
