The Levant—the area that borders the eastern Mediterranean—was heavily populated in prehistoric times. The southern Levant was abandoned about 6,000 years ago, although the northern Levant, which shared the same climate, remained heavily populated. Recently archaeologists have hypothesized that the sudden depopulation in the southern Levant was due to an economic collapse resulting from deforestation. If the statements above are true and the archaeologists’ hypothesis is correct, which one of the following CANNOT be true?
选项
A、The sheep and goats herded by the peoples of the southern Levant until 6,000 years ago grazed extensively on the seedlings and saplings of indigenous tree species.
B、Trees were used in the production of lime plaster, a building material used extensively throughout the southern Levant until 6,000 years ago.
C、Organic remains from the northern Levant reliably indicate that tree species flourished there without interruption during the period when the southern Levant was being abandoned.
D、Carbon dating of organic remains from the southern Levant reliably demonstrates that there were no forests present in that area prior to 6,000 years ago.
E、Since there are few traces of either quarried stone or of mud brick in buildings excavated in the southern Levant, it is likely that the buildings built there prior to 6,000 years ago were made almost entirely of timber.
答案
D
解析
(A)、(B)和(E)三项都通过找他因的办法说明了6000年前南部Levant地区森林减少的原因;(C)通过对比,指出了Levant南部人们在6000年前离弃那个地方的原因。因此(A)、(B)、(C)和(E)都与文中论述的内容相一致;(D)表明6000年前南部Levant没有森林的结论就与短文中所述及的南部Levant地区的人离弃那里的原因是过度砍伐森林的说法相矛盾,因此(D)为正确选项。
