标题: 大全1 19-20题

请牛人解答，谢谢啊～这题意思都看得我不明白了

Questions 19-20 are based on the following.

Archaeologists seeking the location of a legendary siege and destruction of a city are excavating in several possible places, including a middle and a lower layer of a large mound. The bottom of the middle layer contains some pieces of pottery of type 3, known to be from a later period than the time of the destruction of the city, but the lower layer does not.

19. Which of the following hypotheses is best supported by the evidence above?

(A) The lower layer contains the remains of the city where the siege took place.

(B) The legend confuses stories from two different historical periods.

(D) The siege lasted for a long time before the city was destroyed.（C）

(E) The pottery of type 3 was imported to the city by traders.

20. The force of the evidence cited above is most seriously weakened if which of the following is true?

(A) Gerbils, small animals long native to the area, dig large burrows into which objects can fall when the burrows collapse.

(B) Pottery of types 1 and 2, found in the lower level, was used in the cities from which, according to the legend, the besieging forces came.

(C) Several pieces of stone from a lower-layer wall have been found incorporated into the remains of a building in the middle layer.

(D) Both the middle and the lower layer show evidence of large-scale destruction of habitations by fire.（A）

(E) Bronze ax heads of a type used at the time of the siege were found in the lower level of excavation.

怎么没有牛人过来，CR果真很寂寥啊，20题我也不明白为什么C错。效果和A一样嘛

个人看法哦这题感觉逻辑性不是很强：argument里面说遗址有两层，middle and lower。然后type3 是一种时代离现在比较近的东西，在浅层土里面被发掘了，那我根据有点牵强的推理，时代更久远的remainings将会在更深的土里找到。（假设会从middle沉到lower）

我们在这里做的假设就是遗物因为年代不同而分别渗透到middle或是lower里面，所以同一物品不会同时出现在middle和lower里面。因此C就是这个假设的not项

有点抽象，期待NN

19题
试着理解了下,可能是说Archaeologists要寻找siege（“包围”？是说打仗了么？望牛人指教下）和destruction的踪迹。然后发现有深一点的lower土层和上面一点的middle土层。最后在middle layer的最下部发现了destruction之后才出现的pottery样本。
那这样照正常看来，middle层的沙土都应该是destruction之后才形成的，而它下面的lower层是destruction之前形成的。所以留下A和C。
而A和C的区别就是究竟是contain还是represent. A中lower layer确实是siege时代形成的，但至于土层里con不contain那个时代的残留物就不一定了，说不定人家什么都没留下。所以说A用represent，比C直接说就是contain了更保险。

20题
Hattielin87 的C，我猜是不是有一种可能性：正常本应该随着逝去的siege一起归尘的stone们有一部分还没被埋就又让人给再利用当成建材盖进房子里了，而这些房子在后来跟着那个时期的remaining一起进了middle layer。in this case, C选项这种情况出现也无可厚非了……

个人意见，供参考
