问题     It used to be that if you wanted to travel, you had to plan for a long bus or train ride. But the car changed all that. Though at first it was thought of as too expensive, the car quickly became a necessary thing in America. Between 1908 and 1926, Ford Motor Company sold more than 15 million cars.
    Almost from the beginning, people liked to use their cars to go on holiday. With so many people taking to the road, the U. S. had to build more and better roads to support(维持) all that traffic (交通). As an easy way to see the country, traveling by car brought about the development of roadside restaurants. People also needed information on interesting places to visit and how to get there, so road maps and travel guides(指南) were developed.
    Having a car meant families could go to places far from where they lived. If you lived in a warm place, you could go to the mountains to see snow; if you lived in a cold place, you could drive to the seaside for fun in the sun. Cars made it possible to do what was not easy for most people before.
The U. S. built many roads because________.
选项 A、many people began to use cars
B、the countryside developed quickly
C、more roadside restaurants were needed
答案A
解析 句意：美国修建许多公路是因为______。细节题。从文章第二段第二句“With so many people taking to the road，the U．S．had to bund more and better roads to support all that traffic．”可知，由于公路上的汽车越来越多，导致交通问题，所以美国修建更多的公路，故选项A符合题意。
