The Nile Delta of Egypt was invaded and ruled from 1650 to 1550 B.C. by a people called the Hyksos. Their origin is uncertain, but archaeologists hypothesize that they were Canaanites. In support of this hypothesis, the archaeologists point out that excavations of Avaris, the Hyksos capital in Egypt, have uncovered large numbers of artifacts virtually identical to artifacts produced in Ashkelon, a major city of Canaan at the time of the Hyksos invasion.
In order to evaluate the force of the archaeologists' evidence,it would be most useful to determine which of the following?
Whether there were some artifacts found at Avaris that were unlike those produced in Ashkelon but that date to before 1700 B.C.
Whether the Hyksos ruled any other part of Egypt besides the Delta in the period from 1650 to 1550 B.C.
Whether Avaris was the nearest Hyksos city in Egypt to Canaan
Whether Ashkelon after 1550 B.C. continued to produce artifacts similar to those found at Avaris
Whether many of the artifacts found at Avaris that are similar to artifacts produced in Ashkelon date to well before the Hyksos invasion
原文:
Hyksos人入侵并统治Egypt(于公元前 1650 年至 1550 年)。
(结论)archaeologists推测:Hyksos人的祖先是 Canaanites人。
(证据)发掘的文物相同:Avaris地区(∈H人统治下的Egypt) == Ashkelon地区(∈C人的) ,【在H人入侵时期at the time of the Hyksos invasion(=H人入侵后 after the Hyksos invasion)】
问Premise前提?
❤ 选项里面有whether,则观察选项里面出现的control goup,选择含有限定条件(时间、地点……)与原文相反的选项
选项E(√)
Whether 在Avaris地区(∈H人统治下的Egypt)发现的***与在Ashkelon地区(∈C人)生产的文物相似***的许多文物 可以追溯到【Hyksos入侵之前before the Hyksos invasion】
此选项【Hyksos入侵之前before the Hyksos invasion】←相反的限定条件(时间)→原文【at the time of the Hyksos invasion(=入侵后after the Hyksos invasion)】
回答Yes,则说明就是H人带去C区的,所以H人的祖先是C人,有效;
回答No,则说明不是H人带去C区的,所以H人的祖先不是C人,无效。
选项D(×)
Whether 【after 1550 B.C.公元前 1550 年之后 (×)∵不是原文after 相反的限定条件】,Avaris(∈Hyksos)地区 继续生产 类似于 在Avaris(∈Hyksos)地区发现的文物
