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.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

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.

答案是E。不太明白。repertory是仓库的意思吧，有了仓库能说明什么呢？怎么就削弱结论了呢？

劳烦各位了！万分感谢！

这几个选项看起来有点困难，分析一下文章说的是这样的，一个a城市出土了一些文物，这些文物上画了些什么东西，但这些东西这个a城市没有，但是现在一模一样的文物在b城市也出现了，所以结论是a城市的文物是由城市b旅游过来的人画的。设想如果如e选项所说：不存在一个各个城市艺术家都熟悉的文物绘画的repertory 的话，结合文章就是指本城市的艺术贾只对本城市的东西熟悉，那么我们就可能推出a城市的艺术家自己是对生活在别的城市的animal species:是不熟悉的，因此自己画不出来，所以可以推论是由别的城市的艺术家画的。但是此答案不是太明确因为repertory的意思不是很好理解。

看了半天这道题，好难啊。。。

是不是可以这样理解——

原文结论是这些mosaics of Sepphoris 很可能是从其它地方旅游过来的工匠们创作的。

但是其实也可能是Sepphoris本地的工匠临摹别的地方的工匠作品创作出来的啊，所以假设是：

There was not a common repertory of mosaic designs with which artisans who lived in various parts of the Roman Empire were familiar. 有一个共同的mosaic designs 的手艺是住在不同地方的工匠所熟悉的。（也就是说不同地方的工匠技术不同，他们创作的mosaic不可能identical）

感觉这里的repertory是the entire range of skills used in a particular field or occupation的意思。

附：

名词 repertory:

1. a storehouse where a stock of things is kept
2. the entire range of skills or aptitudes or devices used in a particular field or occupation
                           
3. a collection of works (plays, songs, operas, ballets) that an artist or company can perform and do perform for short intervals on a regular schedule
                           

不知道说的对不对。。。

楼上解释的很准确了

TESTMAGIC上的解释也类似

“I think E can be reasoned in the following manner:

If there was a common set of mosaic designs that artisans in different parts of Rome were familar with, then they would have used the common set to create to their mosaics. Hence, motifs in Sepphoris and other parts of Rome could have been identical because they were made from the common set. So for the argument that travelling artisans created the mosaics to hold the assmption is "There was not a common repertory of mosaic designs with which artisans who lived in various parts of the Roman empire were familiar"."

我怎么觉着A也挺对的。

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

取非：Sepphoris mosaics完全是由本地的石头组成的。
削弱了结论，结论说是外地人制造的，如果mosaics取材在本地，那就是本地人造的。

大N来解释一下。。
