For centuries, oak were the wood of choice for European shipbuilders. However, toward the end of the eighteenth century, as British oak supplies grew scarce, shipbuilders there turned to teak and found in it an ideal substitute. Other woods expand and contract at different rates than oak, so repairs to oak ships done with those woods split or leak. Only teak matches oak’s expansion coefficient and stays watertight. It is unmatched in its resistance to rot and pests, and its oils even protect nails against corrosion. Moreover, it was one of two important tropical hardwoods (with Central American mahogany) that dried light enough to float downriver—the only way to transport timber in quantity from the inland jungles where it grew. [br] In the context in which it appears, “turned to” most nearly means
选项
A、rotated
B、resorted to
C、deflected from
D、reverted to
E、revolved around
答案
B
解析
词汇题所考查的单词含义不能违背其本意。turn to本身就有“求助于”的含义,因此选择选项B。
