參考答案

1.A解析：細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干信息詞ThepesticideDDT定位到第二個小標題下的第二段ThepesticideDDTdoesgreatdamagetowildlifeandcanaffectthehumannervoussystem，butcanalsobeeffectiveagainstmalaria(瘧疾)，即：殺蟲劑DDT會傷害野生動植物并且能影響人類的神經系統(tǒng)，但對預防瘧疾是很有效的，故選A。

2.C解析：由題干中theidea可定位到第二段第三句There'snosayingexactlywhensomeonethoughttohavedogspullsleds,butitwaswellbefore1000B.C．根據(jù)第二段第三句可知，這個想法應該在公元前1000年之前。因此C為答案。
