    A. The Mayan calendar was excellent.

    B. The Maya were excellent farmers.

    C. The Maya were intelligent people.

    D. The Mayan cities were difficult to build.


    正确答案:C
    文章主旨题。文章从玛雅人的自然科学、建筑及历法方面说明了玛雅人的智慧,因此C项正确,其他选项均过于片面。
    参考译文:
    在16世纪初西班牙人到达之前,玛雅人在墨西哥居住了几千年。玛雅民族聪明,文化发达,有许多令人瞩目的成就。他们建造了农场、美丽的宫殿以及有许多建筑的城邦。玛雅人对于自然和他们所处的世界了解甚多,他们利用这些知识人让生活得更加舒适和自得,因此他们比同时代的其他种族生活得更好。而关于工具和农业的知识让他们的耕作更加轻松,也更加高产。
    玛雅人信仰许多神灵,包括雨神、太阳神和谷神,并且建造了大型的庙宇供奉他们。技艺精湛的工匠在庙宇的周边建造了城市。这对于他们来说是相当困难的,因为他们没有马匹来拖运沉重的石材。工匠们必须自己背负所有的建造材料。直到今天,还有许多古玛雅城邦及庙宇屹立不倒。
    通常,只有神父住在城市里,其他的玛雅人则住在森林里的小村庄。他们的房子比起城市里的雄伟建筑来要简单得多,通常都是没有窗户的小棚屋。大多数的玛雅人都过着简单的、贴近自然的生活。
    衡量时间对于玛雅人来说非常重要,因此玛雅神父发明了一个记录时间的方法,并发明了一种日历,将一年分为18个月,每月20天,每年余5天。玛雅日历要比同期欧洲日历精确得多。

  • 第22题:

    问答题
    What is the main idea of the acquisition-learning hypothesis?

    正确答案: Krashen maintained that adult L2 learners have at their disposal two distinct and independent ways of developing competence in a second language: acquisition and learning. Acquisition is a subconscious process identical in all important ways to the process children utilize in acquiring their first language, and learning is a conscious process that results in knowledge about language. Acquisition comes about through meaningful interaction in a natural communication setting. Speakers are not concerned with form, but with meaning; nor is there explicit concern with error detection and correction. This contrasts with the language learning situation in which error detection and correction are central, as is typical the case in classroom settings, where formal rules and feedback provide the basis for language instruction.
    Nontheless, for Krashen, it is not the setting per se, but conscious attention to rules that distinguishes language acquisition from language learning. In the natural setting, an adult can obtain formal instruction by asking informants about grammar and by receiving feedback from friends. Similarly, language can be acquired in the classroom when the focus in on communication --- eg. through dialogues, role-playing, and other forms of meaningful interaction.
