Ev
en in the areas that
retain a soil co
v
er,
the reduction of vegetation
typically results in the
loss of
the soil's ability to absorb
substantial quantities of
water
.

In wet
periods, the land may be able to respond to these
stresses
. During the
dry periods
, the
pressure
on the land is
often
far in excess of its
capacity

解法一:

desighed fo

Kinetoscope parlors
, or
arcades, which contained only a few individual
machines and permitted
only
one customer to view a short, 50-foot film at any
one time

(由此

A
,
D
答案符合原文
)
.The first Kinetoscope
parlo
rs contained five machines. For
the price of 25 cent,
customers

ved from machine to machine to watch
five different films

(此句可知

符合
原文),所以此题答案为
C
。
解法二:
