第26题怎么想都想不通……在第五段:
◆About 3500 B.C., climatic conditions again deteriorated. The Sahara slowly became drier and lakes vanished. On the other hand, rainfall increased in the interior of western Africa, and the northern limit of the tsetse fly, an insect fatal to cattle, moved south. So the herders shifted south, following the major river systems into savanna regions. By this time, the Saharan people were probably using domestic crops, experimenting with such summer rainfall crops as sorghum and millet as they moved out of areas where they could grow wheat, barley, and other Mediterranean crops.
这题是问为啥the Saharan people shifted south to the savanna regions。虽然我也知道so前面的句子应该是答案,但是答案是这么写的,the tsetse fly was no longer a problem in those regions.
我的理解这句话的意思是,the northern limit of the tsetse fly moved south.然后他们又往南移,为啥结果这些苍蝇就不再是威胁了?是我哪里误读了么……百思不得其解。所以我选的是the river system in those regions provided reliable sources of water in the summer. 虽然后来自己想想知道这句子后半部分是无中生有啦,但是还是想不通C是怎么来的。
