问题 To water flowers on a rainy day is simply carrying coals to Newcastle. The underlined part means______.

选项 A、easy
B、unnecessary
C、additional
D、excessive

答案B

解析词义理解题。carry coals to Newcastle是习语，其字面意思是“将煤运送到纽卡索”。纽卡索是英国一个以丰富的煤炭资源而闻名的沿海港口城市，所以说将煤运送到纽卡索是多此一举，该习语可以理解为“多此一举；画蛇添足；徒劳无功”，而unnecessary意为“不必要的；多余的”，两者意思相同，因此选项[B]为答案。easy意为“容易的，不难的”；additional意为“附加的，额外的”；excessive意为“过多的，极度的”。
