34、是向神祈祷降雨的仪式的一部分。故选 C。3.A主旨大意题。第四段主要讲纳斯卡线条位于沙漠,沙漠地面上是一层深红色的石块,所以古人刮掉石块上面的深红色,露出浅色的沙形成画。他们从小规模的模型开始创造,然后小心翼翼地增大规模创造出巨型地画。由此可知这段主要讲古人如何创造纳斯卡线条。故选 A。4.B推理判断题。文章最后一段中提到,虽然纳斯卡线条位于沙漠,少风、少雨、少侵蚀等自然因素让它很大程度上保存完好,但是它并不是完全安全的。该段还列举了纳斯卡线条被破坏的两个例子。由此可以推断出纳斯卡线条需要保护,故选 B。A 项和 C 项与文章最后一段中最后提到的纳斯卡线条受到破坏不符,故排除。D 项“地画受到
