问题 单项选择题

Excavations at a Mayan site have uncovered jewelry workshops located some distance from the center of the site on roads radiating outward from the center. Since the nobility lived only in the area of the center, archaeologists conclude that these workshops made jewelry, not for the nobility, but for a middle class that must have been prosperous enough to afford it.
The archaeologists’ argument assumes which of the following about the artisans who worked in the workshops

A.They were themselves prosperous members of a middle class.

B.They lived near their workshops.

C.Their products were not made from the same materials as was jewelry for the nobility.

D.They worked full-time at making jewelry and did not engage in farming.

E.(E) They did not take the jewelry they had made in the workshops to clients who were members of the nobility.

答案

参考答案:E

解析: 本题属于典型的由一个discovery而得出一个结论的“B,A”型,假设多为除了A以外没有别的原因导致B,用否定概念来进行定位,发现(C)、(D)、(E)中否定词not,(E)说明手工艺人不把他们在作坊中制造的珠宝交给贵族顾客,也就说明了珠宝确实不是供给贵族的,因此(E)正确;(C)中出现的materials为新概念;(D)与“贵族或中产阶级”无关,必然不对。

I live in a big city. It’s noisy and dirty and I got very  36 .At the weekends I like to leave the city and get some  37  air and a good rest. A few weeks ago I decided to go to see my  38 . I was really looking forward to it.
My parents live a long way  39 . I went to see them with James, a friend, and we drove on Friday night. In the middle of the  40  it began to rain. The road became very  41  and it was difficult to drive. We arrived home just after midnight, feeling very  42 . The next  43  it was still raining. James took his  44  to a garage which was very good.
In the afternoon the  45  improved, we wanted to go for a  46 . My parents lent us their car. That was no good. Their car didn’t  47 . We rang up the garage. “Oh,” They said, “Your car  48  be ready till tomorrow.” So it wasn’t  49  to go for a drive. We decided to play a word game. When we didn’t agree  50  a word we looked for a dictionary. It wasn’t there.  51  my mother remembered, “I lent it to your sister. She took it with her when she left.” The word game wasn’t any good  52  a dictionary.
On Sunday my mother dropped a heavy box on her  53  and we had to hire a  54  to take her to hospital. When James and I drove back we got stuck in a car accident. Next time I want a rest, I’ll stay  55 .
