标题: 请教 OG-182

182.
The earliest Mayan pottery found at Colha, in Belize, is about 3,000 years old. Recently, however,4,500-year-oold stone agricultural implements were unearthed at colha. These implements resemble Mayan
stone implements of a much later period, also found at Colha. Moreover, the implements’ designs are strikingly
different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in
prehistoric times. Therefore, there were surely Mayan settlements in Colha 4,500 years ago.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument/
(A) Ceramic ware is not known to have been used by the Maya to make agricultural implements.
(B) Carbon dating of corn pollen in Colha indicates that agriculture began there around 4,500 years ago.
(C) Archaeological evidence indicates that some of the oldest stone implements found at Colha were used to cut
away vegetation after controlled burning of trees to open areas of swampland for cultivation.
(D) Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricultural implements used by earlier inhabitants
of the same site.
(E) Many religious and social institutions of the Mayan people who inhabited Colha 3,000 years ago relied on a
highly developed system of agricultural symbols.


答案D,意思是不是说:4500年前在COLHA居住的人并不是MAYAN,这些人adopt the style of agricultural implements of MAYAN,而事实上真正的吗雅人出现的年代应该在4500年以前?

而事实上真正的吗雅人出现的年代应该在4500年以前? 前面你的理解是对的。

可是4500年前的时候居住的人adopt的是"used by earlier inhabitants"的东东,那应该是"4500年前"这一时间点之前的某段吧?比如5000年前

我刚刚没说清楚~

maya可能接受4500年前人的工具设计,所以4500年前的存在的可能不是maya人,嘿嘿

more confused~

题目给出maya人出现在3000年前,又通过工具的独特相似性推出maya人可能出现在4500年前,答案d指出即使4500年前使用相似工具的不是maya人,maya人也可能会吸收这种前人的工具的优点使用相似的工具,所以d正确,嘿嘿,我也是自己想象的,不知道说明白没有

好象很有道理哦~!^_^thx~

原文说发现了4500年前的农业工具,这些工具和后来的M人的工具相似。所以说这是M人的。D说这些4500前的工具是别人的,和后来M相似的原因是M住在同个地区,学了以前住在这里的别人的设计。

以下是引用lawyer_1在2004-8-2 21:52:00的发言:
原文说发现了4500年前的农业工具,这些工具和后来的M人的工具相似。所以说这是M人的。D说这些4500前的工具是别人的,和后来M相似的原因是M住在同个地区,学了以前住在这里的别人的设计。

这和文中第6行的strinkingly different from the designers of stone implements produced by other cultures known to  have inhabited the area in the prehistorical times...是否有矛盾?

D选项出现的字眼有earlier inhabitants(复数),由此可以推论:第一个不知名的inhabitant居住在某地时用了某种器具,第二个不知名的inhabitant搬来某地居住时借鉴了前居住者器具的设计风格,如此传承,直到3000年前Mayan人出现居住于与此地时用的器具也是仿造前人的。由此可以推出,4500年前出现的器具可能是第n个不知名的inhabitant居住与某地时用的,而不是Mayan的。

这样D选项就达到了削弱原文的目的。

看到LS的帖子有相同的困惑: other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric time.这里的the area是不是跟Mayan及earlier inhabitants居住的area相同呢?如果是,按照D的推理,他们的器具风格都是相同的啊,怎么会有提干里说的striking defferent呢?
