TPO20第二篇閱讀的第七題 Thanks to extremely fine-grained excavation and extensive use of flotation methods (through which seeds are recovered from soil samples), we know a great deal about the foraging practices of the inhabitants of Abu Hureyra in Syria's Euphrates valley. Abu Hureyra was founded about 9500B.C, a small village settlement of cramped pit dwellings (houses dug partially in the soil) with reed roofs supported by wooden uprights. For the next 1,500 years, its inhabitants enjoyed a somewhat warmer and damper climate than today, living in a well-wooded steppe area where wild cereal grasses were abundant. They subsisted off spring migrations of Persian gazelles from the south. With such a favorable location, about 300 to 400 people lived in a sizable, permanent settlement. They were no longer a series of small bands but lived in a large community with more elaborate social organization, probably grouped into clans of people of common descent. Paragraph 3 suggests which of the following about the settlement of Abu Hureyra? A The settlement was inhabited by small groups of people from nearby areas. B Small bands of people migrated in and out of the settlement. C The location of the settlement made permanent development difficult. D The easy availability of food led to the growth of the settlement. 答案是D 詳解說關鍵在黃色那句但看不出跟食物有何關係阿 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 140.109.26.18 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/TOEFL_iBT/M.1440060139.A.CD2.html
