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
