参考答案:B
参考解析:
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The original intention was for the structure, which was built for the 1889 World’s Fair”可知,埃菲尔铁塔建造的初衷是为了1889年世界博览会,所以A项表述正确;根据第六段最后一句“The postcard was supposed to fall back to earth gently due to the parachute, but it’s not known how many of these postcards ever made it to their intended addresses.”可知,由于降落伞的作用,这张明信片本应轻轻落回地球,但不知道这些明信片中有多少张寄到了预定的地址,所以B项表述错误;根据第二段最后一句“At the present time, 120 antennas broadcast radio and television transmissions from the tower.”可知,目前,120个天线从塔台广播和电视转播,所以今天去埃菲尔铁塔依然能看到无线电天线和发射机,C项表述正确;根据第三段“During the 1889 World’s Fair, the newspaper Le Figaro set up a small printing operation on the third floor that produced a daily commemorative edition for visitors to buy.”可知,在三楼有一个小型印刷厂,D项表述正确。故选B。
