  TPO35 - P2 the development of social complexity

  社会类题目示例:

  Paragraph 1. For most of human history, we have foraged (hunted, fished, and collected wild plants) for food. Small nomadic groups could easily supply the necessities for their families. No one needed more, and providing for more than one’s needs made little sense. The organization of such societies could be rather simple, revolving around age and gender categories. Such societies likely were largely egalitarian; beyond distinctions based on age and gender, virtually all people had equivalent rights, status, and access to resources.

  取非题

  1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as a characteristic of early nomadic foraging societies?

  A. Organization by age or gender

  B. Collection of surplus food

  C. Equal access to resources

  D. Lack of status divisions

  TPO 20-2 Early Settlements in the Southwest Asia

  社会类题目示例:

  Paragraph 5:Five centuries later, about 7700B.C., a new village rose on the mound. At first the inhabitants still hunted gazelle intensively. Then, about 7000 B.C., within the space of a few generations, they switched abruptly to herding domesticated goats and sheep and to growing einkorn, pulses, and other cereal grasses. Abu Hureyra grew rapidly until it covered nearly 30 acres. It was a close-knit community of rectangular, one-story mud-brick houses, joined by narrow lanes and courtyards, finally abandoned about 5000 B.C.. Many complex factors led to the adoption of the new economies, not only at Abu Hureyra, but at many other locations such as 'Ain Ghazal, also in Syria, where goat toe bones showing the telltale marks of abrasion caused by foot tethering (binding) testify to early herding of domestic stock.

  取非题:According to paragraph 5, after 7000 B.C. the settlement of Abu Hureyra differed from earlier settlements at that location in all of the following EXCEPT

  A. the domestication of animals

  B. the intensive hunting of gazelle

  C. the size of the settlement

  D. the design of the dwellings

  正确答案:B gazelle对应信息(本文第二段)是7000 B.C.前的信息,而非7000 B.C.后。
