Looking at evidence of climate change
Yama Dixit and David Hodell have found the first definitive evidence of climate change affecting the plains of north-western India thousands of years ago. By collecting the【R32】______of snails and analysing them, they discovered evidence of a change in water levels in a【R33】______in the region. This occurred when there was less【R34】______than evaporation, and suggests that there was an extended period of drought.
Petrie and Singh’s team are using archaeological records to look at【R35】______from five millennia ago, in order to know whether people had adapted their agricultural practices to changing climatic conditions. They are also examining objects including【R36】______, so as to find out about links between inhabitants of different parts of the region and whether these changed over time.
【R35】

选项

答案grains

解析 题目:Petrie和Singh的团队用5000年前的……的考古记录,来寻找当时的人们是否调整了他们的农耕习惯来适应变化的气候条件。通过人名和定位词“five millennia ago”定位到G段第2行,文中提到研究人员分析了当时栽培的谷物,试图确定这些谷物是否是在极端恶劣的缺水条件下长出来的,以及人们是否会调整不同的作物搭配,以适应不同的天气条件;原文中的at the time指的是five millennia ago,adjusting是题干adapt的同义替换词,而different weather systems是对题干中changing climatic conditions的改写。因此答案为grains。
