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.
When Goodman was a little girl, she might be interested in_________.
选项 A、landscapes
B、art and literature
C、science and technology
D、disasters in history
答案D
解析 本题考查细节。从题目中Goodman和a little girl定位到文中第一段“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．”该句理解为“在Beverly Goodman小学时，她做的一系列汇报都与她最喜欢的主题——灾难有关，而她也不断跟自己的同学讲述历史上的灾难。”可以推断她对灾难比较感兴趣，所以选项D。此类题目需要我们找准关键词，由于人名大写，很容易在文中找到，而elementary school中，可以从element(基础／元素)得知为“小学”，关键词disaster则需要同学们好好掌握。
