参考答案
正确答案:C
解析:细节题。根据文章第二段第一句话“The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a continuous forest.”可 知,许多人认为,整个北美大陆为连绵不断的森林所覆盖,因此应选择 [C] 。本题的解题关键是题干中的“common assumption”,即提问大家的普 遍看法,不是既定事实。其他选项的1人内容均在描述事实时有所提及,但与 文章中的内容均有一定出入。[B] 与文章中“all sorts of fine trees abounded (大量存在)”相矛盾;第三段第一句捉到,木材带来的优势被忽略,而不是 [A] 经济价值不为人所知。[D] 与文章中“Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points.”不符。
