问题 　　When Beverly Goodman was in elementary school, she gave a series of presentations on her favorite topic: disasters. She told her classmates about some disasters in history, for instance, the Titanic. Today, at 45, she’s a marine geoarchaeologist (地理考古学家) who explores coastlines for clues to erosion, past tsunamis (海啸), and other disasters. ’It’s funny now that I’m a disaster scientist, basically," she says. "It all came together."
　　Human settlements have long been built around access to water. Goodman studies how coastal change affected our ancestors: Were people forced to leave? Did they find innovative ways to adapt to the changes? This knowledge, she says, can help us "prepare responsibly for what this landscape is going to look like in the future." That was the case when Goodman and her team of scientists proved tsunamis had struck the coast of what is now Israel over the course of thousands of years. Partly as a result of their research, the country in 2014 developed its first tsunami preparedness plan.
　　Humans are manipulating coastlines more dramatically than ever, says Goodman. To learn what effect this will have, "we need to be working faster, and we need more people working on it."She believes ancient clues buried underwater can save lives, particularly in places without written records.
It can be learned from Paragraph Two that_________.
选项 A、where there is water, there are human beings
B、people usually settled down along waters
C、people prefer to live in muontains areas
D、people prefer to live along grasslands
答案B
解析 本题考查细节推断。从题目中所给信息Paragraph Two定位到文中第二段，根据第二段的第一句“Human settlements have long been built around access to water．(长期以来，人类居住区都是围绕着水源而建的。)”可以确定B选项people usually settled down along waters(人们依水而居)符合题目。Settle down表示“定居”。A、B选项中均与water有关，我们需要选择更客观的一项。而选项A “where there is water，there are human beings(哪里有水哪里就有人类)”表述不够严谨。C、D选项在文中没有提及，故答案选B。
