The Nasca are best known for leaving behind large Nazca Lines carved into the surface of the vast, empty desert plain that lies between the Peruvian towns of Nazca and Palpa.Though the Lines have caused many interpretations, including the suggestion that they were created by aliens, most scholars now think they were sacred pathways that Nasca people followed during their ancient ceremonies.
The civilization disappeared mysteriously around 1，500 years ago, after apparently prospering during the first half of the first millennium A．D. in the valleys of south coastal Peru.Scientists have previously suggested a massive El Nino event caused the Nasca's demise, but new research suggests that deforestation may have also played an important role.David Beresford Jones from the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research at the U．K.'s Cambridge University gathered plant remains in the lower Ica Valley.Based on this evidence and plant samples collected by coresearcher Alex ChepstowLusty of the French Institute of Andean Studies in Lima, the scientists found that the Nasca cleared huge areas of forest to make way for agriculture.The native huarango tree, which once covered what is now a desert area, was gradually replaced by crops such as cotton and maize.
This tree was a crucial part of the desert's fragile ecosystem, serving to enhance soil fertility and moisture and help hold the Nasca's narrow, vulnerable irrigation channels in place.
Eventually, the people cut down so many trees that they reached a tipping point at which the arid ecosystem was damaged, the researchers found.At this point a major El Nino event likely occurred.Without the huarango cover, when El Nino did strike, the river down璫ut into its floodplain, Nasca irrigation systems were damaged and the area became unworkable for agriculture.

C．It's the big flood that killed the Nasca people.
D．Deforestation caused an El Nino event to happen.

第一处 本句的谓语are也说明这里的主语要用复数形式。第二处 这里考查的是want to do sth是want的基本用法。第三处 这是一个定语从句w的宾语就是the book所以不能再加上it。第四处 在whether引导的宾语从句中的成分要齐全所以要加上it。第五处 这个状语从句的主语是单数所以谓语动词也用单数。第六处 别的城市有很多只是其中的一个所以这里的citya day or two是固定用法意为“一两天”。第九处 应该用形容词作表语是常见用法。第十处 这里的they和readers对应。
