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.
According to Goodman, which of the following in true?
选项
A、People need to pay more attention to coastline research.
B、People show little interest in coastlines.
C、People have no knowledge about coastlines.
D、People have no written records about coastlines.
答案
A
解析
本题考查细节推断。题目中没有题眼,这就需要考生从选项中逐一定位辨析。A选项中的coastline research(海岸线研究)与文中第二段“This knowledge,she says,can help us” prepare responsibly for what this landscape is going to look like in the future”(这些知识可以有助于我们认真负责地为这片区域未来的样子做准备),文中原句推测出Goodman认为这些知识很重要,而这与A相符。根据第二段中“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.”这句话可知“Goodman和她的科学家团队已经证明:数千年来海啸袭击了现在是以色列的海岸”,这与选项C “People have no knowledge about coastlines”(人类一无所知)不符。注意:类似C这类选项全盘否定过于片面,几乎不会是正确选项。B、D则没有提及。
