问题     Archaeologists studying Bonito phase (ca. A.D. 900-1140) Native American ceramics from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, observed that many pots had been altered after firing to revise their decorative designs—usually, intricate geometric patterns painted in black on white slipped surfaces. In some cases, a new design was imposed over an earlier one; less often, the original design was simply covered with white slip. Crown and Wills doubt that the alterations were made to correct design errors. Many Chaco pots with design errors were left unaltered. Furthermore, when errors were corrected, revisions were made prior to firing—either by painting directly over the error or by scraping off designs and applying new slip and paint, which is a less time-consuming method than repainting and refiring flawed pots. [br] According to the passage, which of the following is true of Bonito phase Chaco pots?
选项 A、Relatively few of them have original designs concealed beneath white surfaces.
B、Relatively few of them were altered after firing.
C、Many of their alterations increased the intricacy of their painted designs.
D、Many of them have some flaw in their shape or structure.
E、Many of them were altered more than once.
答案 A
解析 对应第二句，一些陶罐的新的设计直接覆盖了旧的设计；更不经常的情况是，一开始的设计直接用白色涂料覆盖。因此选项A正确。B项表述相反，因为真实情况是这些陶罐都是烧制完成后再被改变。
