Historians still debate over which one emerged first. It may well have been the Middle East, in an area called the Fertile Crescent. This region stretches from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia.【R8】______This kind of farming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.

答案
E
解析
第4段开头提出,“地区和气候存在一些差异,所有的古代文明或许都以相同的方式发展。”后句又提到,“陶器代替了动物皮所制作的瓢,来盛装食物和液体,羊毛制成衣服,用木料、砖和石头造房子,这些都是人类古代文明的共同发展模式。”句E“随着村子在扩大,积累了大量的物品”,这也是古代文明的共同发展模式之一,并且随着物品的增多,人们才需要制作容器去储藏液体,这与第3句紧密相连,所以选E。
