19、working.C(2021河北秦皇岛二模)Every four or five years, vast quantities of warm water build up along the west coast of South America. This phenomenon, El Nio, creates storms that cause destructive floods. The result is costly.Modern farmers come to terms with El Nio. They use money saved in good years to re
20、build in bad ones. But history suggests it need not be like that. In a paper published recently, Ari Caramanica, an archaeologist in Lima, shows how it used to be done. And the answer seems to be “better”.Dr Caramanica and her colleagues have been studying the Pampa de Mocan, a coastal desert plain
21、in northern Peru. It is not suitable for farming. Its soil contains little organic matter and the annual rainfall in non-Nio years is usually less than two centimetres. Todays farmers therefore depend on canals to carry water from local rivers to their fields.It had been assumed that ancient farmers
22、 had a similar arrangementand so they did. But Dr Caramanica also found eight canals that could carry water far beyond the range of modern farms. She thought that they were intended to guide the floodwaters arriving during Nio years. Around a quarter of the ancient agricultural infrastructure of thi
23、s area seemed to have been built only for managing Nio-generated floodwaters.Evidence from pollen supports this theory, revealing that the Pampa de Mocan produced lots of crops in some years, while remaining nearly barren in others. The team also uncovered two cisterns(蓄水箱) in the area serviced by t
24、he extended canals. These, probably, were used to store extra floodwaters.These findings suggest that, rather than resisting El Nio, early farmers in the Pampa de Mocan were ready to make use of it when it arrived. Modern farmers might do well to learn from them.8.What does the recent study focus on
