Questions 19-20 are based on the following.

Archaeologists seeking the location of a legendary siege and destruction of a city are excavating in several possible places, including a middle and a lower layer of a large mound.

(C) The middle layer does not represent the period of the siege.
(D) The siege lasted for a long time before the city was destroyed.
(E) The pottery of type 3 was imported to the city by traders.
20.答案:A,我选B

寻找传说中一个城市围攻和毁灭地点的考古学家正在挖掘几个可能的地方，包括a large mound的middle layer和lower layer ，middle layer的底部包含pottery of type 3，type 3是城市毁灭后的东西，lower layer 没有type 3。

19归纳题，C说middle layer不能代表围攻的时期。因为middle layer里面的东西不是那个时期的。故为答案。

20削弱题：

A指出一种小动物在这个地方挖吭然后将东西带进去。说明middle layer的type 3可能是这种小动物带进去的。故削弱。
