(单选题)

What does the underlined word “demolished” in the second paragraph refer to?

A.Washed out carefully.

B.Deal with seriously.

C.Repaired carefully.

D.Destroyed completely.

参考答案：D

参考解析：

词义猜测题。根据第二段的内容可知，埃菲尔铁塔的建造初衷是为了1889年世界博览会，在20年后将要被拆除。但是工程师古斯塔夫·埃菲尔后来安排在塔内安装无线电天线和发射机，塔台对通信的重要性使其免于拆除。所以可推测demolished的意思为“拆除”。Washed out carefully意为“仔细清洗”；Deal with seriously意为“严肃处理”；Repaired carefully意为“仔细维修”；Destroyed completely意为“完全毁掉”。故选D。
