文章：
| Line | Historians remain divided over the role of |
| banks in facilitating economic growth in the | |
| United States in the late eighteenth and early | |
| nineteenth centuries. Some scholars contend | |
| (5) | that banks played a minor role in the nation’s |
| growing economy. Financial institutions, they | |
| argue, appeared only after the economy had | |
| begun to develop, and once organized, followed | |
| conservative lending practices, providing aid to | |
| (10) | established commercial enterprises but |
| shunning those, such as manufacturing and | |
| transportation projects, that were more | |
| uncertain and capital-intensive (i.e., requiring | |
| greater expenditures in the form of capital than in | |
| (15) | labor). |
| A growing number of historians argue, in | |
| contrast, that banks were crucial in transforming | |
| the early national economy. When state | |
| legislatures began granting more bank charters | |
| (20) | in the 1790s and early 1800s, the supply of |
| credit rose accordingly. Unlike the earliest banks, | |
| which had primarily provided short-term loans to | |
| well-connected merchants, the banks of the early | |
| nineteenth century issued credit widely. As Paul | |
| (25) | Gilje asserts, the expansion and democratization |
| of credit in the early nineteenth century became | |
| the driving force of the American economy, as | |
| banks began furnishing large amounts of capital | |
| to transportation and industrial enterprises. The | |
| (30) | exception, such historians argue, was in the |
| South; here, the overwhelmingly agrarian nature | |
| of the economy generated outright opposition | |
| to banks, which were seen as monopolistic | |
| institutions controlled by an elite group of | |
| (35) | planters. |
题目：
The passage suggests that Paul Gilje would be most likely to agree with which of the following claims about the lending practices of the “earliest banks” (see line 21)?
选项:
A、These lending practices were unlikely to generate substantial profits for banks.
B、These lending practices only benefited a narrow sector of the economy.
C、The restrictive nature of these lending practices generated significant opposition outside of the South.
D、The restrictive nature of these lending practices forced state legislatures to begin granting more bank charters by the early nineteenth century.
E、These lending practices were likely to be criticized by economic elites as being overly restrictive.
答案:
B

请Tina老师帮忙回答一下：
判断为细节题，做题时没注意这题的关键在“earliest banks”, 对应文中细节时忽略了unlike earliest banks” 就找到了Paul Gilje是支持银行发挥重要作用的，然后就通读了一遍选项，感觉哪个都不对，如果再回原文去看觉得太浪费时间了，选择硬着做，排除了C，因为定位的内容没有提到south，排除了E，因为那个地方也没提到econoic elites，然后剩下A/B/D，B有个only, 赌了个A。老师，在题目不小心没看清，看着选项脑子短路的情况下，我选择不浪费时间硬着头皮做对吗？ 在剩下A/B/D的时候，我还怎么能调一下，选择到B上面来呢？是不是在这种情况下已经无望了..hhh
