　　文章分析：典型問題解答型文章，提出問題、分析問題、解決問題各成一段。

　　第1題針對問題成因發問，一段前兩句交代問題本身，有現象就會有解釋，第三句解釋原因，C選項的washing-away對應原文的eaten into。

　　第3題針對experts’ study發問，也就是分析問題，對應在二段三行找到定位，A選項的warn對應原文的forecasting。BCD都同時找到了有效的方案，原文僅僅forecast無方案，故排除。

　　第4題針對sea defenses這個解決方案發問，對應在三段開頭，題干not feasible對應原文impossible，有觀點就會有原因，為什么不可行，原因就在impossible后面，原因有12兩點，對應B選項。
