天山－3－6

Q4 to Q6:
In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,
many Western Pueblo settlements
in what is now the southwestern United
Line States may have possessed distinctly
(5) hierarchical organizational structures.
These communities’ agricultural
systems—which were “intensive” in
the use of labor rather than “extensive”
in area—may have given rise to polit-
(10) ical leadership that managed both
labor and food resources. That formal
management of food resources
was needed is suggested by the
large size of storage spaces located
(15) around some communal Great Kivas
(underground ceremonial chambers).
Though no direct evidence exists that
such spaces were used to store food,
Western Pueblo communities lacking
(20) sufficient arable land to support their
populations could have preserved
the necessary extra food, including
imported foodstuffs, in such apparently
communal spaces.
(25) Moreover, evidence of specialization
in producing raw materials and
in manufacturing ceramics and textiles
indicates differentiation of labor within
and between communities. The orga-
(30) nizational and managerial demands
of such specialization strengthen
the possibility that a decision-making
elite existed, an elite whose control

over labor, the use of community sur-
(35) pluses, and the acquisition of imported
goods would have led to a concentration
of economic resources in their
own hands. Evidence for differential
distribution of wealth is found in buri-
(40) als of the period: some include large
quantities of pottery, jewelry, and other
artifacts, whereas others from the
same sites lack any such materials.

Q6.The primary purpose of the passage is to
A. outline the methods by which resources were managed within a particular group
of communities
B. account for the distribution of wealth within a particular group of communities
C. provide support for a hypothesis concerning the social structure of a particular
society
D. explain how political leadership changed in a particular historical situation
E. present new evidence that contradicts previous theories about a particular
historical situation

看来看去，只有C比较好。不过，，，罗嗦一点。这篇文章属于什么类型呢？现象解释型？？？
