是第二篇Early Settlements in the Southwest Asia的第10道题

Paragraph 5: Five centuries later, about 7700B.C., a new village rose on the mound. At first the inhabitants still hunted gazelle intensively. Then, about 7000 B.C., within the space of a few generations, they switched abruptly to herding domesticated goats and sheep and to growing einkorn, pulses, and other cereal grasses. Abu Hureyra grew rapidly until it covered nearly 30 acres. It was a close-knit community of rectangular, one-story mud-brick houses, joined by narrow lanes and courtyards, finally abandoned about 5000 B.C.. Many complex factors led to the adoption of the new economies, not only at Abu Hureyra, but at many other locations such as 'Ain Ghazal, also in Syria, where goat toe bones showing the telltale marks of abrasion caused by foot tethering (binding) testify to early herding of domestic stock.

10.        According to paragraph 5, after 7000 B.C. the settlement of Abu Hureyra differed from earlier settlements at that location in all of the following EXCEPT
A        the domestication of animals
B        the intensive hunting of gazelle
C        the size of the settlement
D        the design of the dwellings

答案是B，可文中有一个转折，at first，hunted gazelle intensively还存在，然后then出现转折，说了BC7000的时候，swift to驯养动物什么的，那暗指就是不再hunted gazelle intensively了。
我选的是D，因为D虽然是后来的特点，但文中并没有提示说这个特点是和early对比的。所以很困惑……
难道答案错了么……求高人指点！

one-story mud-brick houses, joined by narrow lanes and courtyards 就是design
Abu Hureyra was founded about 9500B.C, a small village settlement of cramped pit dwellings (houses dug partially in the soil) with reed roofs supported by wooden uprights. 这是early的 design
