GWD-23-Q32

Excavations of the Roman city of Sepphoris have uncovered numerous detailed mosaics depicting several readily identifiable animal species:  a hare, a partridge, and various Mediterranean fish.  Oddly, most of the species represented did not live in the Sepphoris region when these mosaics were created.  Since identical motifs appear in mosaics found in other Roman cities, however, the mosaics of Sepphoris were very likely created by traveling artisans from some other part of the Roman Empire.

S城的挖掘中出土了很多镶嵌图案画了很多可以辨认的动物种类。奇怪的是，大部分这些动物都不生活在S城。因为同样的图案也出现在其他城市，S城的图案很可能是其他城市的工匠旅行时创作的。

1. The Sepphoris mosaics are not composed exclusively of types of stones found naturally in the Sepphoris area.

2. There is no single region to which all the species depicted in the Sepphoris mosaics are native.

3. No motifs appear in the Sepphoris mosaics that do not also appear in the mosaics of some other Roman city.

4. All of the animal figures in the Sepphoris mosaics are readily identifiable as representations of known species.

5. There was not a common repertory of mosaic designs with which artisans who lived in various parts of the Roman Empire were familiar.

搜索过了没有讨论。

正确答案是E，其他答案都可以用排除法排除，但是E的意思我看不明白，请指点！

sorry,今天发贴的时候内容老是自动重复，快把我弄疯了，大概在第4遍删除重复内容的时候把问题也删除了。

E是排除他因

排除了artisans通过其他渠道（比如a common repertory of mosaic designs ）认识这些动物的可能性

再请教楼上的， 可是文中也没有说这些各地的工匠的创作来源是什么啊？

原文说了S城的动物图案的来源是旅行的ARTISAN创作的，E排除了本地ARTISAN从其他渠道认识这些动物从而创作他们的可能啊

也就是说E中的who lived in various parts of the Roman Empire 其中包括本城的工匠，我还一直以为只指那些外城的工匠呢。

多谢多谢，汗，还是我的阅读理解水平太差

问句题外话，楼上的，后来让你考了吗？
