The development of Jamestown in Virginia during the second half of the seventeenth century was closely related to the making and using of bricks.
There were several practical reasons why bricks became important to the colony. Although the forests could initially supply sufficient timber, the process of lumbering was extremely difficult, particularly because of the lack of roads. Later, when the timber on the peninsula had been depleted, wood had to be brought from some distance. Building stone were also in short supply.
However, as clay was plentiful, it was inevitable that the colonists would turn to brick-making
.
In addition to practical reasons for using brick as the principal construction material, there was also an ideological reason. Brick represented durability and permanence. The Virginia Company of London instructed the colonists to build hospitals and new residences out of brick. In 1662, the Town Act of the Virginia Assembly provided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildings and prohibited the use of wood as a construction material. Had this law ever been successfully enforced, Jamestown would have been a model city. Instead, the residents failed to comply fully with the law. By 1699, Jamestown had collapsed into a pile of rubble with only three or four habitable houses.
Which of the following was NOT a reason for using bricks in construction?
选项
A、Wood had to be brought from some distance.
B、There was considerable clay available.
C、The lumbering process depended on good roads.
D、The timber was not of good quality.
答案
D
解析
通读短文可知,D项叙述并没有在原文中出现。原文只说“伐木极为困难”(the process of lumbering was extremely difficult)并没说“木材质量差”。故D正确。
