TPO 07-AGRICULTURE, IRON, AND THE BANTU PEOPLES - 英檢

第一段:

There is evidence of agriculture in Africa prior to 3000 B.C. It may have
developed independently, but many scholars believe that the spread of
agriculture and iron throughout Africa linked it to the major centers of
the Near East and Mediterranean world. The drying up of what is now the
Sahara desert had pushed many peoples to the south into sub-Sahara Africa.
These peoples settled at first in scattered hunting-and-gathering bands,
although in some places near lakes and rivers, people who fished, with a
more secure food supply, lived in larger population concentrations.
Agriculture seems to have reached these people from the Near East,
since the first domesticated crops were millets and sorghums whose origins
are not African but west Asian. Once the idea of planting diffused, Africans
began to develop their own crops, such as certain varieties of rice, and
they demonstrated a continued receptiveness to new imports. The proposed
areas of the domestication of African crops lie in a band that extends from
Ethiopia across southern Sudan to West Africa. Subsequently, other crops,
such as bananas, were introduced from Southeast
Asia.

Q3.

3. In paragraph 1, what does the author imply about changes in the African
environment during this time period?
○The climate was becoming milder, allowing for a greater variety of crops to
be grown.
○Although periods of drying forced people south, they returned once their
food supply was secure.
○Population growth along rivers and lakes was dramatically decreasing the
availability of fish.
○A region that had once supported many people was becoming a desert where
few could survive.

Ans is D

AC很顯然不是，B看不太懂，D感覺不出哪一句可以很直接地推出來

再麻煩各位了，謝謝。
