Tpo19閱讀第一篇The Roman Army's Impa … - 英檢

答案為D，因倒數第二句"These settlements acted like small towns, becoming
centers for the artisan and trading populations."
這些居留地猶如小鎮，或為工匠及商人聚集的地方，meaning，士兵向他們買東西或獲得服
務。

A：不能選，因為軍中並沒有提供服務給士兵，況且文中有提"The pool of excess cash
rapidly stimulated a thriving economy outside fort gates"，不是"within the fort
"。

B：錯在Most of their needs were met by traveling tradespeople，應該是Some of the
demand for the services and goods was no doubt fulfilled by people drawn from
far afield。

C：錯在soldiers traveled to distant towns to make purchases，應該是near the fort
才對。
