问题     Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example, the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.
    Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde, the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances, however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.
    Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature, and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety, and when used in food, must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
    The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products, from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied "new car odor."  
Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraph?
选项 A、Synthetic fragrances can be used to make a used car smell like a new one.
B、Synthetic flavors and fragrances have added to the varieties of products.
C、Lemon soap is made out of some delicious lemon.
D、It is likely that a bottle of orange juice is synthesized.
答案C
解析 细节题型。可用排除法：选项A、D的内容见第四段后半句，选项B的内容见第四段前半句；只有选项C的内容未被提及(因为lemon柠檬属于natural substance，不是人工合成物)，所以是答案。
