D說的是：即使是他們也不能挽救他們的文明。因此D是正確的答案。A說的是：他們曾創(chuàng)造過奇跡。B說的是：他們很強(qiáng)壯。C說的是：他們其實(shí)很弱。A這道題問的是：下面列出的幾種因素中哪一種因素是造成古埃及文明毀滅的根本性因素。A說的是：氣候變化。第一段中有這樣一個子句： -ashiftinclimate???wasultimatelytoblame最終歸咎于氣候的變化。在第一題的題解中，我們提到了饑荒”與告埃及文明毀滅”的關(guān)系。但饑荒”是表層的因素， 氣候的變化”才是古埃及文明毀滅的深層的因素。因此，A是正確的答案。B:腐敗。c：水災(zāi)。D:人口增長。D這道題問的是：下面列出的幾種陳述哪一種是正確的？口說的是：白尼羅河是尼羅河的支流。第四段中的最后一句話是這么說的： 一workedoutwhat'proportionofsedimentcamefromeachbranchoftheriver找至U了來自河的每條支流的沉積物的比例。這里的 河”是指尼羅河”，每條支流”回指上文所說的青尼羅河”和白尼羅河”。因
