问题 I have a vegetable garden and every summer I enjoy eating my own vegetables. One day last summer 1 picked a dozen carrots. Usually, as soon as I have picked the carrots, I clean the dirt off them by washing them in a bucket of water. But this day, as I was getting up from the ground with my twelve carrots, I tripped(绊)and fell over the bucket. The water spilled out of the bucket, so I decided to wash the carrots quickly in the kitchen sink. I put the carrots in the sink, washed them with water, and watched all the dirt washed away down the drain.
The next day, when I was washing dishes, I noticed that the water drained out of the sink much more slowly than usual. It drained so slowly that I called a plumber(水管工)to come and fix my drain. The plumber tried a lot of different cleaners and equipment, but nothing worked. He had to cut a hole in the floor where the drain pipe was in order to try to find the problem. While he was cutting the small hole, he accidentally cut the hot-water pipe. Hot water sprayed over the plumber, onto the floor, under the refrigerator; water went everywhere.
My refrigerator stopped working because the water had affected the electrical wires. I called an electrician to come and fix the refrigerator. The electrician had to move the refrigerator to work on the wires. As she was balancing it, she tripped over the plumber’s tools. She fell down and the refrigerator tipped over. It crashed into the wall, resulting in a huge hole in the wall.
I called a carpenter to come and fix the wall. In order to repair the hole in the wall, the carpenter had to tear down half of the entire wall. Meanwhile, the plumber was still looking for the source of the drain problem. Since the kitchen was in a terrible mess anyway, the plumber decided to remove part of the floor to look at the pipe there. In the middle of the floor, he found the problem: the dirt from the carrots was stuck in the pipe and nothing could go through.
Now I had a sink that did not drain, a refrigerator that did not work, a wall that was half gone, and part of a floor that was missing. I looked at this disaster and decided that what I really needed was a new kitchen. Finally, I called a house builder to come and fix my kitchen. Three weeks later I had a new sink, a new refrigerator, new cupboards on a new wall, new tiles on a new floor, and $ 10,000 less in my bank. [br] The plumber did all the following EXCEPT______.

选项 A、cut a hole in the floor
B、cut the hot-water pipe
C、try different cleaners
D、tear down part of the wall

答案 D

解析此题是一道细节题，考查考生根据上下文中具体细节进行分析判断的能力。问题问水管工除了什么以外以下所有的事情都做了，换言之，问题问的是水管工没有做什么。文章第二段与本题相关的内容指出：水管工试了很多种不同的清洁剂和设备，但都不管用。为了查找出问题，他不得不在排水管所在的地板部位开了一个洞。他在地板上切开那个小洞的时候，不小心切到了热水管。因此，本题的正确答案应该是D，拆毁了一部分墙壁。选项A：在地板上开了个洞；B：切到了热水管；C：试了不同的清洁剂。这三个选项的内容在原文中都提到了，是水管工所为，所以这三个选项均为干扰项。
