考题讲解

题目分析：
本题主要考查了not only和but also以及单独的but also的语意区别。

选项分析：

A选项：not only位于句首时，其引导的句子需要用倒装，give和create是由并列连词and连接的两个并列成分，而由于时态已经被did提前，因此只能用原形，即，gave需改为give。另外，not only…but also…表示其连接的两者是递进关系，也就是说其连接的两件事应该是同方向的。在本题中，提供便宜的家具是好事，但是使得森林沙漠化则是坏事。因此，这两件事应该是转折关系而不是递进关系。

B选项：非限定性定语从句 which gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture应就近修饰名词farmland。显然地，给消费者便宜的家具的应该是“系统化的砍伐森林”，而不是“农场”。另外，连词 not only…but also…错误同选项(A)。

C选项：本选项具有语法错误，but是连词，其需要连接两个句子。但本选项中but身前缺少谓语动词。

D选项：Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

E选项：连词 not only…but also…错误同选项(A)。
