A、KillingPowerofAncientVolcanicEruptions

B、AccountingfortheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

C、CalculationoftheKillingPowerofOlderEruptions

D、AMassExtinction

【正确答案】C

［答案解析］本段第一句话是说：Wignallcalculatedthe"killingefficiency"forthese

volcanoes...；Wignall计算了这些火山的"灭绝效率”……；其中killingefficiency与

killingPower意思差不多，属于同义词转换，因此选择B或C,但是accountfor意

思是：（在数量方面）占；说明（原因等）不符合句意，因此不选择B。

【答案解析】答案选Co题目说的是〃这五位百岁老人生活在一个非常友好的社

everyday.How?Byusingthelightitgetsthroughyoureyes.代词it指代biological

clock,不是选项internalclock和alarmclock都可以自动调节。得到答案为CAD

Islands"；而且在语义上也有很好的衔接。
