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.
The best title of this passage could be"_________".
选项 A、The Changes of the World
B、The Coastal Landscape
C、Life Style of Ancient Ancestors
D、Goodman’s Underwater Research
答案D
解析 本题考查主旨概括。需要我们纵览文章，第一段主要写Goodman从小对灾难这个主题很感兴趣，长大后成为一名灾难科学家；第二段是关于Goodman对海岸线变化对人类影响的研究；第三段写Goodman认为我们应该更多地致力于海岸线研究，因为埋藏在水下的古代线索能够拯救生命。所以选项D中“Goodman’s Underwater Research (Goodman的水下研究)”与文章大意相吻合，本文从她的职业选择到所做的事，均与职业相关。
