　　托福阅读修辞目的题：he Industrial　Revolution

　　【Paragraph 3】Watt’s steam engine soon showed what it could do. It liberated industry from dependence on　running water. The engine eliminated water in the mines by driving efficient pumps, which made possible deeper and　deeper mining. The ready availability of coal inspired William Murdoch during the 1790s to develop the first new form of　nighttime illumination to be discovered in a millennium and a half. Coal gas rivaled smoky oil lamps and flickering　candles, and early in the new century, well-to-do Londoners grew accustomed to gaslit houses and even streets. Iron　manufacturers, which had starved for fuel while depending on charcoal, also benefited from ever-increasing supplies of　coal: blast furnaces with steam-powered bellows turned out more iron and steel for the new machinery. Steam became　the motive force of the Industrial Revolution as coal and iron ore were the raw materials.(Powering the Industrial　Revolution)

　　In paragraph 3, the author mentions William Murdoch’s invention of a new form of nighttime illumination in order to

　　○indicate one of the important developments made possible by the introduction of Watt's steam engine

　　○make the point that Watt's steam engine was not the only invention of importance to the Industrial Revolution

　　○illustrate how important coal was as a raw material for the Industrial Revolution

　　○provide an example of another eighteenth-century invention that used steam as a power source
