问题 In nineteenth-century America, practically everything that was built involved wood. Pine was especially attractive for building purposes. It is durable and strong, yet soft enough to be easily worked with even the simplest of hand tools. It also floats nicely on water, which allowed it to be transported to distant markets across the nation. The central and northern reaches of the Great Lakes states— Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota—all contained extensive pine forests as well as many large rivers for floating logs into the Great Lakes, from where they were transported nationwide.
According to paragraph, all of the following characteristics of pine made it a desirable material for building in nineteenth-century America EXCEPT________.
选项 A、It was long-lasting.
B、It was relatively easy to transport.
C、Its softness made it easy to work with.
D、It produced buildings that were especially attractive.
答案D
解析 原文中的soft和C项的softness为一组同根词，softness是soft的名词形式；原文的easily和C项的easy也是一组同根词，easily是easy的副词形式。此外，选项在句型上也做了调整。因此，C项在原文有对应，不符合题意。A项的long-lasting为原文durable的同义词，在原文也有对应，不符合题意。B项对应原文的 which allowed it to be transported to distant markets across the nation，为句型上的同义替换，也不符合题意。A、B、C三项在文中均有对应，都不符合题意，故本题选D项。
