题目解析:
本题为事实信息题,且为双选。本段主要阐述了纺织制造业转变了英国的经济。这种转变主要分为两个层次。
首先,“Woolens,
which accounted for eighty percent of the exports ……in England as well as in the continent.”,这句话说,羊毛、毛绒等布料都能在英国和欧洲大陆找到急切的买家,而且接下来一句话“Moreover, late in the sixteenth century as English merchants began making forays across the
Atlantic these textiles were also
sold in the Americas.”进一步说明英国的商人开始跨越大西洋,将纺织品销往美国。因此,这里对应了C选项:商人在英国内外都开始扩大市场。故C正确。
其次,“Cloth manufacturers undercut production by
urban craftspeople by "putting out" work to the villages and farms of
the countryside.”从这句句子开始是第二个层次,意思是说布匹生产商通过将产业转移到郊区的乡村和农场,来削减城市工匠们的布匹产量。这里对应了D选项:一部分布料制造商转移到郊区。故D正确。
A选项在文中没有提及。故排除。
B选项说纺织品产量增长了80%,而文章并未提及,只提到羊毛占出口比例的80%,故排除。
