Measurement of land areas was necessary if property was to be a factor in farming and housekeeping.【R7】______All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China emerged in the 4th millennium BC. 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.
A. It not only made settlements possible and ultimately the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply.

选项
答案
A
解析
第2段首句提到了耕种是一次革命性的发现。句A说,“它不仅使定居成为可能,最终形成城市,并且可以提供稳定的食物来源。”很显然,“它”指的是农业,这句话讲述了农业的重大作用,是对第1句中革命性的解释说明——为何耕种被称为革命性的发现,因此A为正确选项。
