[单选题]The passage suggests that the early shops for making tools were ______.

正确答案 ：A

not very sophisticated

解析：解析：本题的依据句是“At first，these articles were whittled with a knife，but when pioneer craftsmen set up their primitive shops most of them were fashioned on a lathe--a machine which holds an object and rotates it while it is being shaped by a tool.”在这里，A选项的not very sophisticated 意思为“并不复杂，是简单的”，对应原文中的primitive(原始的，简单的)。其他选项的内容属于无关信息。

[单选题]According to the passage, the first settlers used wood for their utensils and tools because it was ______.

正确答案 ：C

available

解析：解析：注意题干上的信号词utensils and tools，以此为目标可以很容易地找到本题的依据句“Because of the lack of other materials，early settlers were forced to make tools and utensils out of wood.”选择C的原因在于当时十分缺乏其他材料而木材到处都有所以得到采用。available意思为“有，存在”。
