4月15日新託福閱讀題解析：討論最早曆法
學科分類：考古類
題目：Debate about the earliest calendars
內容回憶版本一：
第一段：一個考古學家認爲骨頭上的14個marks 是古代人們記錄lunar year的方法，因爲它們的排列不是by chance的，而是按照group patterns排列的[有目的題，問作者爲什麼提到這些具體的pattern, 答案爲爲了說明這些pattern不是natural(對應not by chance)的，而是人爲的]，該學家認爲這種pattern和月亮從crescent(新月)到full moon，再從full moon到new moon的時間段一致(有題，問這個考古學家是如何理解上述pattern的，答：和moon的各種phase相符)。第一段是不是森破?
第二段：講這種日曆的用途：古代人推算一些event的period;找到事情的sequencially connected;最終導致writing的出現[並列結構出現，有EXCEPT題]。雖然最長的pattern只有two and a half months, but多個連接起來可以推算時間的period，如懷孕，洪水的時間[有句子簡化題，注意轉折邏輯即可]。
第三段：發現我們的祖先可以think abstractly，具有計算日子的能力是件很有意思的事[有事實信息題]，但是也有質疑，因爲hunter-gather的祖先了解所有打獵，採集等periodically的時間，不需要記錄。
第四段：繼續批判第一段中考古學家的觀點，說那些marks的pattern是not regular，他也沒有provide no example，還沒有evidence[一句話中並列結構，有EXCEPT題]。而且這種mark不一定是record day or event噠，有可能是一些sharp tools使用的時候留下的，這種情況在其他文明中也常出現，此處有example[有目的題，問作者爲啥要提到某個文明，答案爲想要證明這些pattern不是起record events or days的作用] 。
內容回憶版本二：
古代日曆 Early Calendar
某科學家認爲一種最早在骨頭上發現的裂痕是遠古人類做了記號的日曆，它記錄了當時的月相盈虧，他由此認爲這些刻痕可以幫助古代人發現更多更大的規律、進行抽象思考，並且帶來了算術能力的進步，此外這一calendar的出現和hand-writing的出現也有關係。
反駁觀點有很多，其他人認爲這個科學家的理論毫無學術依據，純屬臆測，不足爲信，舉出反例比如這些點可能是用來磨武器的時候刻的或者僅僅是劃痕而已。
