TPO21-2The origins of agriculture

paragraph3

Climatic changes at the end of the glacial period13,000years 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.

6According to paragraph3,the abundance of resources fluctuated sharply after the end of the glacial period because

A Locally abundant resources were quickly exhausted by hunter-gatherers

B The temperature became much higher in some areas over others

C Different types of plants and animals became available as the climate changed

D The amount of rainfall varied radically from one period to the next.

解析：fluctuate做关键词定位至最后一句，说气候变化，先wet接着就干旱，导致availability 也跟着波动，所以导致resource波动的原因是气候的干湿，所以答案是D的rainfall变化。A和B完全没说，C的不同种类的plant and animal没说

【3】有人提出冰河时代末期，也就是13000年前的气候变化是农业起源的原因。短时期内(以年而不是以世纪为单位)温度急剧上升使得食物资源丰富，采集狩猎者人口增加。但是，气候条件存在波动，造成干湿交替，以致可以获取的动植物数量忽高忽低。

paragraph6

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 explanation is satisfactory is open to contention,and some authors have recently emphasized the importance of other factors.

12According to paragraph6,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 problems even today.

解析：问他的解释有什么问题，以人名做关键词定位至最后一句，但最后一句我们已经看过了，没说缺点，所以往前看，前面说有的民族定居有的民族游牧，又说有些已经掌握农业技术的人在或多或少地避免农业，然后就说了M的解释值得争议，也就是M没能很好地解释这一情况发生的原因，所以答案是B，A说不能区分是错的，原文还是区分的;C和D原文都没说

【6】一些社会驯化动植物、发现金属工具的使用、开始识字并且形成国家，这些事实不应使我们忘记其他社会虽发展出了畜牧或园艺(蔬菜园艺)但是仍停留在文盲状态，并且生产力较低;只有少数社会进入了现代的狩猎采集社会。探究使某些社会选择农业而其他社会停留在狩猎采集或园艺的条件具有重要的人类学意义。但是，我们应该记住有很多知晓农业的社会几乎是有意不选择它。米森的解释是否恰当还有待讨论，而且近来有些作者已经强调其它因素的重要性了。
