182. The earliest Mayan pottery found at Colha, in Belize, is about 3,000 years old. Recently, however, 4,500-year-oold stone agricultural implements were unearthed at colha. These implements resemble Mayan stone implements of a much later period, also found at Colha. Moreover, the implements’ designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times. Therefore, there were surely Mayan settlements in Colha 4,500 years ago. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument/ (A) Ceramic ware is not known to have been used by the Maya to make agricultural implements. (B) Carbon dating of corn pollen in Colha indicates that agriculture began there around 4,500 years ago. (C) Archaeological evidence indicates that some of the oldest stone implements found at Colha were used to cut away vegetation after controlled burning of trees to open areas of swampland for cultivation. (D) Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricultural implements used by earlier inhabitants of the same site. (E) Many religious and social institutions of the Mayan people who inhabited Colha 3,000 years ago relied on a highly developed system of agricultural symbols.
答案是d,为什么?
题目认为4500年的东东是maya的,理由是4500年的东东很像3000年的已经确定是maya的东东; 但是d认为有可能是3000年的maya copy 了4500年的design呢?那么4500年的东东就不是maya拉。
