　　接下来选取的是TPO第21套的第二篇文章，题目叫作The Origins of Agriculture——农业的起源。这篇文章主要阐述了农业起源的可能原因，同时还介绍了一位考古学家对于农业起源的一些观点。

　　对于大部分生长在城市里的孩子来说，农业是一个相对陌生的题目;即便对于那些有过一些务农经验的学生，农业的起源也是一个遥不可及的话题。所以这篇文章对于大家还是有一定的难度的。接下来，我们就来分析几道常见的错题：

　　首先，我们先来看一下第二题：

　　2.According to paragraph 1,all of the following are advantages of hunting and gathering over agriculture EXCEPT:

　　A.It is a heal thier life style.

　　B.It requires less knowledge of plants and animals.

　　C.It does not need storage capabilities.

　　D.It is not tied to any specific location.

　　这是一道典型的细节题。题目中出现了一个大写的EXCEPT，遇到这种题型，我们就可以直接使用排除法，题目的意思是让我们从四个选项中选出一个不属于“狩猎和采集优于农耕”的选项。A选项的答案可以定位于第一段的最后一句话，Furthermore,as the archaeological record shows,the state of health of agriculturalists was worse than that of their contemporary hunter-gatherers.意思是“而且，考古学记录显示，农民的健康状况要比同时代的采集狩猎者差”。所以A选项不是我们要选的，排除。C选项在原文中的原句是To start with,it forced the population to abandon the nomad's lifeand become sedentary,to develop methods of storage and,often,systems ofirrigation.很显然，如果选择务农就要有存放粮食等的仓库，所以C选项也排除掉。D选项的定位是While hunter-gatherers always had the option of moving elsewhere when the resources were exhausted,this became more difficult with farming. 不被生活的地点束缚也是狩猎/采集生活的一个优势，所以D也排除。最后的答案是B。

　　接下来，我们来看一下第六题：

　　6.According to paragraph 3,the abundance of resources fluctuated sharply after the end of the glacial period because

　　A.locally abundant resources were quickly exhausted by hunter-gatherers.

　　B.the temperature became much higher insome areas over others.

　　C.different types of plants and animals became available as the climate changed.

　　D.the amount of rainfall varied radically from one period to the next.

　　这是一道事实信息题。本题题干的意思是“在冰河时代末期，资源的丰富程度变化明显的原因是什么”。做这道题要通过精读原文进行选择。

　　题干中有一个副词sharply，而在四个选项当中只有D选项中的radically与sharply的意思一致。再通过精读原文后我们发现原文最后一句的意思是“但是，气候条件存在波动，造成干湿交替，以致可以获取的动植物数量忽高忽低”，这与D选项的描述相符，所以D选项正确。A和B两个选项在原文中没有提及，C选项是一个干扰选项，看似正确，但在原文中也没有提及，所以也排除。

　　下面，我们再一起来分析一下第九题：

　　9.The word "imaginative" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to

　　A.complex.

　　B.creative.

　　C.immediate.

　　D.reliable.

　　这道题是一道词汇题。Imaginative的意思是“有想象力的”，A选项中的complex是“复杂的”，B选项creative是“创造性的”，C选项immediate是“立即的”，D选项的reliable是“可依靠的”，所以通过排除法，B选项是最佳选项。解决词汇题的最好的办法就是考前多背单词，只有积累的词汇量增加了，我们才能在遇到词汇题的时候选出正确的选项。

　　最后我们来看一下第十三题：

　　13. Look at the four squares [■] that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage.Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square to add the sentence to the passage.Because humans had built up this knowledge as hunter-gatherers,it is logical to conclude that over time they would have become extremely efficient.

　　Paragraph 7: How did it come about that farming developed independently in a number of world centers (the Southeast Asian mainland,Southwest Asia,Central America,lowland and highland South America, and equatorial Africa) at more or less the same time? Agriculture developed slowly among populations that had an extensive knowledge of plants and animals.■【A】Changing from hunting and gathering to agriculture had no immediate advantages. ■【B】To start with,it forced the population to abandon the nomad's life and became sedentary,to develop methods of storage and,often,systems ofirrigation.■【C】While hunter-gatherers always had the option of moving elsewhere when the resources were exhausted,this became more difficult with farming.■【D】Furthermore,as the archaeological record shows,the state of health of agriculturalists was worse than that of their contemporary hunter-gatherers.
