8、magnificent stone villages on the Colorado Plateau. Line Groundbreaking climatological studies have convinced many archaeologists, however, that the Great Drought was not sufficiently austere to coerce the sudden evacuation of the Anasazi. Reviewing tree ring records, including moisture levels, Van

9、West disputed the Great Drought theory by presenting evidence that enough corn could have been grown during the drought to support the population, that the Anasazi had weathered many severe droughts in the past, and that the evacuation actually began before the dry spell set in. Belying the popular

10、image of the Anasazi as a peaceable kingdom of farmers and potters, some new research puts the blame for the evacuation on a bloody internecine war. Noting that the Anasazi had been suffering from malnutrition, shorter life spans and increased infant mortality, Adler suggests that the Anasazi were n

11、ot able to move around freely to farm because their once open range was becoming balkanized into hostile fiefdoms. Perhaps as a reaction to drier weather, people in the Mesa Verde area began building dams and canals to trap and divert water, and the result may have been conflict and warfare. Unfortu

12、nately, other archeologists, having trouble envisioning how even drought, balkanization and warfare could make an entire civilization evacuate, are trying to combine archeological evidence with anthropological studies of the modern pueblo Indians to make the case that the Anasazi were roiled by a re

13、ligious crisis as divisive as European medieval heresies. Analyzing the spread of religious symbols found on rocks or pottery and the distribution of ceremonial structures, some argue that the Anasazi may have been pulled from their homeland by a new religion emerging to the south, whose egalitarian

14、 spirit would have had great appeal to a civilization, like the Anasazis, that was entering a dark age. Ware comes closest to a plausible synthesis of his predecessors theories in suggesting that the Anasazi world was rocked by a spiritual crisis catastrophic enough to cause a collapse of a civiliza

15、tion, and that the uprooted Anasazi apparently embraced a variety of new beliefs on migration to their new homes. Ware further argues that the precipitating factor in the evacuation may have been a change in climate after all. Recent climatological studies suggest that indeed, rainfall patterns were

16、 disrupted in a way that might have made the Anasazi disillusioned with their old religion: the customary pattern of heavy snows in the winter followed by summer monsoons had become unpredictable. Even if there was not a great drought, moisture may have been coming at the wrong times, and the summer

17、 rains, essential for nourishing the spring crops, were no longer reliablethe rain dances were not working anymore. Thus, Wares theory accommodates the greatest variety of factors that may explain the Anasazis evacuation. (分数:0.98)(1).Which of the following statements best describes the organization

18、 of the first paragraph?(分数:0.14)A.A historical theory is sketched and a problem with the theory is cited.B.Evidence for an objection to a theory is mentioned and a generalization from that evidence is advanced.C.A paradox about the origins of a historical phenomenon is pointed out and the authors e

19、xplanation of the paradox is expounded.D.A statement about a historical phenomenon is offered and a possible misinterpretation of that statement is addressed.E.A new explanation for a historical phenomenon is given and evidence for that explanation is provided.(2).It can be inferred from the passage

20、 that Van West notes the severe droughts which affected the Anasazi prior to the Great Drought primarily in order to -|_|-.(分数:0.14)A.establish that enough food could have been grown to support the Anasazis survivalB.argue that the Anasazis past behavior would indicate their likely future behavior i

21、n the case of a Great DroughtC.suggest that the repetition of droughts was taking a cumulative toll on the fertility of the PlateauD.argue that the evidence which points to the existence of a Great Drought may actually be related to earlier droughtsE.affirm the notion that the Great Drought may have

22、 been exponentially more severe than prior droughts(3).With which of the following statements concerning the condition of the Anasazi at the time of their evacuation would the author be most likely agree?(分数:0.14)A.Disruption of weather patterns is a plausible explanation of the Anasazis evacuation,

23、 but insufficient when taken individually.B.A religious crisis may have contributed to lower crop fertility, resulting in the Anasazi s malnourishment.C.The Anasazi spiritual crisis may have been exacerbated by the poor performance of their crops after the disruption of weather patterns.D.The Anasaz

24、i may have been attempting to move toward a diversification of their religious beliefs long before the disruption of weather patterns.E.The Anasazi spiritual crisis may have contributed to increased balkanization, creating a vicious cycle of hostility within Anasazi society.(4).With which of the fol

25、lowing statements would Adler and Van West both be likely to agree? . Anasazi land was fertile enough during the so-called Great Drought to potentially feed all of the Anasazi. . An internecine civil war may have contributed to the Anasazis malnourishment. . Drought alone is insufficient to explain

26、the cause of the Anasazis departure. (分数:0.14)A. onlyB. onlyC. and onlyD. and onlyE., II, and (5).Researchers have employed all of the following methods in researching potential explanations of the Anasazi evacuation EXCEPT -|_|-.(分数:0.14)A.the study of modern Indian societiesB.the study of climatol

27、ogical recordsC.the study of potteryD.the study of Anasazi mythologyE.the study of ceremonial structures(6).According to the passage, Wares theory of the role of weather in the Anasazi evacuation differs from the position traditionally held by anthropologists in which of the following ways?(分数:0.14)

28、A.Ware relies upon a different body of evidence than previous anthropologist have, but reaches the same conclusions.B.Ware ascribes a less dominant role to weather than had been traditionally posited by anthropologists.C.Ware ascribes a more dominant role to weather than had been traditionally posit

29、ed by anthropologists.D.Ware believes weather played a role in the evacuation, but not the one traditionally cited.E.Ware believes that another factor besides weather was responsible for the Great Drought.(7).The author considers the explanations put forward by Van West and Adler for the causes of t

30、he Anasazi evacuation to be -|_|-.(分数:0.14)A.popular but suspectB.partially persuasive, but individually insufficientC.anachronistic and controversialD.premature and illogicalE.ambitious but misguidedScientists have long sought the reasons for the relatively young age of the majority of Martian mete
