45. 澳大利亚的人们 ※ 主题： 澳大利亚人弄的MOUND到底是做什么用的； 旧观点（防止洪水） → 反驳旧观点 （收到环境和人为因素影响）
※ 段落大意：
第一段：这种东西是用来防止洪水的； 第一段中讲到一个地方盛产一种shell,一个专有名词，a打头的,然后起初有一个人认为那边的人建shell mounds是为了dry campsites in late wet season吧，而且为close to camps for their resources。 第二段：这种东西不能用来防止洪水的； 第二段是对这个观点表示怀疑，反驳说shell受环境，温度 etc.的影响，shell会因为季节的变化会变地方，因此mounds是不是应该在不同的地方呢？或者每个mounds的shell是不是不同类的呢？还有一个因素是同一个mounds的内部环境也不同，同一个mounds里面应该也有不同的shell。结果显示shell的分布不是这样，题目不太记得了。。。最后一篇做的时候时间比较紧，可能不一定看得很懂。
※ 备注：
1）文章如何介绍这个东西是不能防止洪水的；
※ 题目：
1）问以前对mound什么观点 我选择B建立mound为了自然灾害时reserve food，反正是有food的那一项 2）一道题问的是下列关于A地区那个是对的， 有选项是经常受seasonal floods 袭击 3）有一题是问文中所说的某个地区的人的特点是什麽， 我选的是那些人喜欢还是盛产一种shell

Old Boundaries and New Horizons: The Weipa Shell Mounds Reconsidered.
Based on Bailey's research it is clear that the mounds are commonly composed of over 90% of the cockle shell, Anadara granosa, a claim that is partially supported by my own recent fieldwork on mound groups on the north Mission River (Morrison 2001. See Figure 1). Mounds have been noted to occur in a variety of locations including within mangrove forests, on exposed sand dunes and beach ridges, but more commonly on the fringes of Eucalyptus tetradonta woodlands and on open samphire plains and saltpans. In terms of their physical nature, the mounds range from as low as 0.20 m in height through to massive, almost monumental ridges of shell several hundred metres long and up to 13 metres high. More commonly mounds are around 2-6 metres in height, and occur as parts of clusters containing up to 15 other mounds. Bailey has consistently argued that shell mounds were the result of small groups of people exploiting the local environment on a yearly basis during the late wet season He suggested that these groups deposited shell in mounds in order to provide themselves with dry campsites that were above the waterlogged or flooded ground common in coastal areas during the late wet season. He believed that mound distribution was determined by the desire of people to camp as close as possible to the resources they were using. However, it was the way these groups adapted to prevailing environmental conditions that influenced precisely where they would camp. For example, he hypothesised that if the weather was windy and stormy people would retreat to shell mounds that were slightly more inland, on the fringes of the Eucalyptus tetradonta woodlands. Conversely, during fine weather these groups would move out onto the saltpans and coastal plains, occupying mounds closer to the resources they were exploiting.
