gre argument37题目:
Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been unique to the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad(3), and so the ancient Paleans could only have crossed it by boat(1), but there is no evidence that the Paleans had boats. And boats capable of carrying groups of people and cargo were not developed until thousands of years after the Palean people disappeared. Moreover, Paleans would have had no need to cross the river(5)—the woods around Palea are full of nuts, berries, and small game(4). It follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not unique to Palea(2).
提纲:
(1)The author fails to consider the possibility that the Paleans may arrived in Lithos through other means.
(2)The Palean basket could arrive other place through many possible methods such as trade, or boats possessed by other culture.
(3)In Palean times, the Brim River may not be as deep and broad as it is currently.
(4)The fact that there are abundant resources currently does not indicate that those resources also existed in Palean times.
(5)Other reasons other than food shortages may well result in the migration of a culture.
