句子简化题（1） Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and pressures, which convert the organic matter to oil and gas.

○Higher temperatures and pressures promote sedimentation, which is responsible for petroleum formation. • ○Deposits of sediments on top of organic matter increase the temperature and pressure on the matter. • ○Increase pressure and heat from the weight of the sediment turn the organic remains into petroleum. • ○The remains of microscopic organisms transform into petroleum once they are buried under mud.

句子简化题（2） 4-2 Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men and women believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, and if that were indeed their belief, it might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art.

Perhaps, like many contemporary peoples, Upper Paleolithic men and women believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, and if √, it might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art.

○Upper Paleolithic people, like many contemporary peoples, believed that if they drew a human image in their cave art, it would cause death or injury. ○Many contemporary people believe that the drawing of a human image can cause death or injury, so they, like Upper Paleolithic people, rarely depicted human figures in their cave art. ○If Upper Paleolithic people, like many contemporary peoples, believed that the drawing of a human image could cause death or injury, this belief might explain why human figures are rarely depicted in cave art. ○Although many contemporary peoples believe that the drawing of a human image can cause death or injury, researchers cannot explain why Upper Paleolithic people rarely depicted human figures in their cave art.

句子简化题（3） 7-3 Unlike in the Americas, where metallurgy was a very late and limited development, Africans had iron from a relatively early date, developing ingenious furnaces to produce the high heat needed for production and to control the amount of air that reached the carbon and iron ore necessary for making iron.

Unlike in the Americas, 句子简化题（3） Africans had iron from a relatively early date, developing ingenious furnaces to produce the high heat needed for production and to control the amount of air that reached the carbon and iron ore necessary for making iron.

○While American iron makers developed the latest furnaces, African iron makers continued using earlier techniques. ○Africans produced iron much earlier than Americans, inventing technologically sophisticated heating systems. ○Iron making developed earlier in Africa than in the Americas because of the ready availability of carbon and iron ore. ○Both Africa and the Americas developed the capacity for making iron early, but African metallurgy developed at a slower rate.

句子简化题（4） 4-1 In addition to finding an increase of suitable browse, like huckleberry and vine maple, Arthur Einarsen, longtime game biologist in the Pacific Northwest, found quality of browse in the open areas to be substantially more nutritive.

In addition to finding an increase of suitable browse, 句子简化题（4） Arthur Einarsen found quality of browse in the open areas to be substantially more nutritive.

○Arthur Einarsen’s longtime family with the Pacific Northwest helped him discover areas where deer had an increase in suitable browse. ○Arthur Einarsen found that deforested feeding grounds provided deer with more and better food. ○Biologist like Einarsen believe it is important to find additional open areas with suitable browse for deer to inhabit. ○According to Einarsen, huckleberry and vine maple are examples of vegetation that may someday improve the nutrition of deer in the open areas of the Pacific Northwest.

句子简化题（5） 3-3 Many ecologists now think that the relative long-term stability of climax communities comes not from diversity but from the “patchiness” of the environment, an environment that varies from place to place supports more kinds of organisms than an environment that is uniform.

Many ecologists now think that the relative long-term stability of climax communities comes not from diversity but from the “patchiness” of the environment, 句子简化题（5） Arthur Einarsen found quality of browse in the open areas to be substantially more nutritive.

○Ecologists now think that the stability of an environment is a result of diversity rather than patchiness. ○Patchy environments that vary from place to place do not often have high species diversity. ○Uniform environments cannot be climax communities because they do not support as many types of organisms as patchy environments. ○A patchy environment is thought to increase stability because it is able to support a wide variety of organisms.

句子简化题（6） 5-1 This scenario begins with the planting of hyper accumulating species in the target area, such as an abandoned mine or an irrigation pond contaminated by runoff. phytoremediation

Before considering phytoremediation, hyper accumulating species of plants local to the target area must be identified. The investigation begins with an evaluation of toxic sites in the target area to determine the extent of contamination. The first step in phytoremediation is the planting of hyper accumulating plants in the area to be cleaned up. Mines and irrigation ponds can be kept from becoming contaminated by planting hyper accumulating species in targeted areas.

句子简化题（7） 7-1 As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting, the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean now connects to the Atlantic, opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean.

As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting, 句子简化题（7） the Strait of Gibraltar opened, water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean

The strait of Gibraltar reopened when the Mediterranean and the Atlantic became connected and the cascades of water from one sea to the other caused crustal adjustments and faulting. ○The Mediterranean was dramatically refilled by water from the Atlantic when crustal adjustments and faulting opened the Strait of Gibraltar, the place where the two seas are joined. ○The cascades of water from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean were not as spectacular as the crustal adjustments and faulting that occurred when the Strait of Gibraltar was connected to those seas. ○As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting and the creation of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic and Mediterranean were connected and became a single sea with spectacular cascades of water between them.
