B.much later than experts previously thought

参考答案
正确答案:A
解析:该题问:在阿拉斯加新近发现的化石痕迹证明恐龙在亚洲和北美之间的迁移发生在什么时候?A项意为“比专家以前想的要早得多”;B项意为“比专家以前想的要晚得多”;C项意为“亚洲成为独立的大陆之后”;D项意为“两千五百年前左右的某个时候”。第八段中的第二句The rock in which the prints were found dates to more than 100 million years ago, or about 25 million years older than the previously discovered signs of dinosaurs in the Arctic region。表明在阿拉斯加发现的恐龙痕迹是一亿年以前的,而第八段的最后一句说该发现提供了重要的证据表明亚美大陆之间的恐龙迁移发生在cretaceous(白垩纪)时代的早中期。结合上文讲到白垩纪末期在七千至八千万年前,可以确信,该发现证明这种迁移发生的时间早于以往专家们认为的时间。
