"mutually exclusive" 相互排外的A
"overwhelming" 淹沒的,壓倒性的B
Sailors from... = Many older theories implicitly deprecated the navigational abilities and overall cultural creativity of the Pacific Islanders. For example,... assumed that only Egyptians would have been skilled enough to navigate and colonize the Pacific.C
從兩個(gè)地方著手,early theories 和 older theories.
early theories: Many older theories implicitly deprecated the navigational abilities and overall cultural creativity of the Pacific Islanders. For example,... assumed that only Egyptians would have been skilled enough to navigate and colonize the Pacific.
older theories: Contrary to these theorists,... Southeast Asia and were skilled enough as navigators to sail ...B
"implements" = toolsA
A: 沒提
B: fishing techniques = and a varied inventory of fishing implements and techniques.
C: navigational skills = include the appropriate boat-building, sailing, and navigation skillsD
根據(jù)第二段段尾說源自Southeast Asia.第三段解釋有哪些先提條件支持這個(gè)點(diǎn),定位到500BC說具體的原因,因此選D
D: knowledge of plant cultivation = domesticated plantsD

contrary to accidentally seems by deliberate
A: 沒有提到transporting ...
B: 沒有不同批次過來
C: contradicted 用錯(cuò)了對象
C
"undisputed" = acknowledgeB
ACD定位到These expeditions were likely driven by population growth and political dynamics on the home islands, as well as the challenge and excitement of exploring unknown waters.
B定位到:Detailed studies of the winds and currents using computer simulations suggest that drifting canoes would have been a most unlikely means of colonizing the Pacific.選項(xiàng)與之相反C
"Patrick Kirch" 所在句的as表示詞句和上一句為順承一致的關(guān)系,而前一句中however表轉(zhuǎn)折,分別再往前和王后看一下,前面說支持了H的理論,后面說有另一種可能。D
根據(jù)later和other direction進(jìn)行定位,A是older theories,B是older theories的舉例,C的they指代前面的G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry 所以選D。然后再看一下D后面開始講新的theory所以合理。ABC
