第一题:TPO20 Early Settlements in the Southwest Asia
Q10. Paragraph 5: Five centuries later, about 7700B.C., a new village rose on the mound. At first the inhabitants still hunted gazelle intensively. Then, about 7000 B.C., within the space of a few generations, they switched abruptly to herding domesticated goats and sheep and to growing einkorn, pulses, and other cereal grasses. Abu Hureyra grew rapidly until it covered nearly 30 acres. It was a close-knit community of rectangular, one-story mud-brick houses, joined by narrow lanes and courtyards, finally abandoned about 5000 B.C.. Many complex factors led to the adoption of the new economies, not only at Abu Hureyra, but at many other locations such as 'Ain Ghazal, also in Syria, where goat toe bones showing the telltale marks of abrasion caused by foot tethering (binding) testify to early herding of domestic stock.
10.According to paragraph 5, after 7000 B.C. the settlement of Abu Hureyra differed from earlier settlements at that location in all of the following EXCEPT

O     the domestication of animals

O     the intensive hunting of gazelle

O     the size of the settlement

O     the design of the dwellings

这道题我选不出来,我觉得四个答案都是有,我就说原答案选项2嘛,文中有Then, about 7000 B.C., within the space of a few generations, they switched abruptly to herding domesticated goats and sheep and to growing einkorn, pulses, and other cereal grasses.这不明显说明在hunting gazelle上有转变了,答案解析说原文没说hunting gazelle这个事,但按道理来说怎么可能转为养殖了还在大范围狩猎嘛,说不通啊,除非原文把switched abruptly to 换了,我就觉得没得撒子歧义了。

第二题:TPO21 The Origins of Agriculture

Q5. Paragraph 3: Climatic changes at the end of the glacial period 13,000 years ago have been proposed to account for the emergence of farming. The temperature increased dramatically in a short period of time (years rather than centuries), allowing for a growth of the hunting-gathering population due to the abundance of resources. There were, however, fluctuations in the climatic conditions, with the consequences that wet conditions were followed by dry ones, so that the availability of plants and animals oscillated brusquely.

5.Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.

O     The resources needed by the growing hunting and gathering population increased rapidly once temperatures rose.

O     Dramatic temperature increases and the simultaneous growth of the hunting and gathering population led to the need for more resources.

O     Higher temperatures led to the existence of increased resources, thus enabling the hunting and gathering population to grow.

O     The dramatic temperature increase occurred during the few years when abundant resources allowed the hunting and gathering population to grow.

这道题我选的D,我死活看不出来温度和资源的因果关系,当时看原答案c选项就觉得太牵强了。我对原文那句话的理解是:温度在短时间内大幅升高,在这段时间内丰富的资源使搞狩猎的人口增多。allow for就是考虑的意思啊?哪里有因果关系呢?
