Paragraph 1: The vast grasslands of the High Plains in the central United States were settled by farmers and ranchers in the 1880’s. This region has a semiarid climate, and for 50 years after its settlement, it supported a low-intensity agricultural economy of cattle ranching and wheat farming. In the early twentieth century, however, it was discovered that much of the High Plains was underlain by a huge aquifer (a rock layer containing large quantities of groundwater). This aquifer was named the Ogallala aquifer after the Ogallala Sioux Indians, who once inhabited the region. 1.According to paragraph 1, which of the following statements about the High Plains is true? ○Until farmers and ranchers settled there in the 1880’s, the High Plains had never been inhabited. ○The climate of the High Plains is characterized by higher-than-average temperatures. ○The large aquifer that lies underneath the High Plains was discovered by the Ogallala Sioux Indians. ○Before the early 1900’s there was only a small amount of farming and ranching in the High Plains. 我是選A~但答案是D 我無法從這兩個答案直接回文章找到對應的關鍵字 為什麼答案A不行呢? 請大家幫我解惑.. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.112.116.12
