steamshootingmorethan2,100metersintothesky?說的是靠近火山的地方出現(xiàn)了

一個(gè)黑色的火山灰和蒸汽上升到空氣中，其高度超過2100米。因此該命題是錯(cuò)

誤的。

A、KillingPowerofAncientVolcanicEruptions

B、AccountingfortheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

C、CalculationoftheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

D^AMassExtinction

【正確答案】c

（答案解析］本段第一句話是說:Wignallcalculatedthe"killingefficiency"forthese

volcanoes...；Wignall計(jì)算了這些火山的"滅絕效率"；其中killingefficiency與

killingPower意思差不多，屬于同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換，因此選擇B或C,但是accountfor意

思是：（在數(shù)量方面）占；說明（原因等）不符合句意，因此不選擇B。

了"criticssay",空格處與之對(duì)應(yīng)的是"Criticsalsosay”。
