The period discussed in the passage isreferred to as an “explosion” because it  A occurred 0.6 billion years ago, late inEarth’s history  B was characterized by the unusually fastevolution of many new life-forms  C was characterized by widespread animalextinction  D was characterized by violent volcaniceruptions  题目问的是，文章中讨论的这一时期之所以被称为“大爆发”是因为什么。  这篇阅读文章是围绕着“寒武纪生物大爆发”展开内容的。在本题目，explosion就是我们所说的信号词。  原文中与本题对应的段落内容如下：  The geologic timescale is marked bysignificant geologic and biological events, including the origin of Earth about4.6 billion years ago, the origin of life about 3.5 billion years ago, theorigin of eukaryotic life-forms (living things that have cells with truenuclei) about 1.5 billion years ago, and the origin of animals about 0.6billion years ago. The last event marks the beginning of the Cambrian period.Animals originated relatively late in the history of Earth – in only the last10 percent of Earth’s history. During a geologically brief 100-million-yearperiod, all modern animal groups (along with other animals that are nowextinct) evolved. This rapid origin and diversification of animals is oftenreferred to as “the Cambrian explosion.”  内容很多，通过扫读，我们看到explosion这个词出现在段落最后，我们将本信号词前的两句话定为辐射区，即：  During a geologically brief100-million-year period, all modern animal groups (along with other animalsthat are now extinct) evolved. This rapid origin and diversification of animals
