The earliest Mayan pottery found at Colha, in Belize, is about 3,000 years old. Recently, however, 4,500-year-old 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?

正确答案: D

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.

你的问题是什么呢?说具体些,才好答。

下面是我从前回答一个朋友的,你看看行不行?



这题大概就是讲Maya人最早的陶器是在3000年左右的历史,但是在同样的Maya人居住地发现了4,500年历史的和Maya陶器一样设计的器具,而当时住在那里的其他文化群体都没有类似的器具设计,所以得出结论是:Maya人在4,500年前就住在那里了。

这个推论最大的问题是:4,500年前的器具酷似Maya文化设计产物,但是难道只有Maya文化的人是那种器具设计的发明者吗?或者说在Maya文化前,那里居住的人就已经设计了那样的器具,而Maya人是模仿前人的设计呢?

只有D说出了这一点。

你选了什么?然后我再解释,因为我读题没有发现什么不能理解的地方,所以最好针对你的疑惑,我们来讨论一下。

原来我把 具有successor culture理解成同一类人都是Mayan人

OG解释::Since the argument in choice A is based on the similarity of stone implements of different ages, the lack of
ceramic agricultural implements leaves the argument unaffected.

Since the argument in choice A is based on the similarity of stone implements of different ages是什么意思?wohaotu
