[請益] TPO21 Reading The Origins of Agriculture Q12
Paragraph 6:
The fact that some societies domesticated animals and plants,
discovered the use of metal tools, became literate, and developed a state
should not make us forget that others developed pastoralism or horticulture
(vegetable gardening) but remained illiterate and at low levels of
productivity; a few entered the modern period as hunting and gathering
societies. It is anthropologically important to inquire into the conditions
that made some societies adopt agriculture while others remained
hunter-gatherers or horticulturalists. However, it should be kept in mind
that many societies that knew of agriculture more or less consciously avoided
it. Whether Mithen's explanations is satisfactory is open to contention, and
some authors have recently emphasized the importance of other factors.
12. According to paragraph 6, which of the following is a weakness of
Mithen's explanation?
A It does not clearly distinguish agriculture from pastoralism and
horticulture.
B It fails to explain why some societies adopted agriculture while others did
not.
C It explains the domestication of plants and animals but not the development
of metal tools.
D It overlooks the fact that illiteracy and low productivity remain problem
even today.
答案是B，為何不能選D呢？
謝謝回答指教：）
