问题 Which of the following statements about Flowers and Yeo is TRUE?
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the problem discussed in the passage?

选项 A、Natural barriers to sea water have been destroyed.
B、The water table has gone down after droughts.
C、Sea level has been continuously rising.
D、Evaporation of water leaves salt behind.

答案C

解析 利用备选项中的核心词(A:natural barriers;B:water table,drought;C:sea level;D: evaporation)作为答案线索,在文章中查找相关信息进行确认。It is estimated that each year more than 100 hectares(公顷) of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and stunts(妨碍生长)plants.The problem is caused by several factors.In the tropics, mangroves(红树林)that create swamps(沼泽)and traditionally formed barriers to sea water have been cut down.(该句说“阻挡海水的天然屏障红树木被砍伐”,这个内容与A一致。)In the Mediterranean, a series of droughts have caused the water table(水位)to drop,(该句说“一系列的干早造成水平面下降”,这个诶容与B一致)allowing sea water to seep(渗透)in. In Latin America, irrigation often causes problems when water is evaporated(蒸发)by the heat, leaving salt deposits behind.(该句说“水被高温蒸发后留下了盐分”,  这与D一致),  所以只有C没有被提到。
