　　托福阅读修辞目的题：Maya Water Problems

　　【Paragraph 1】To understand the ancient Mayan people who lived in the area that is today southern Mexico and　Central America and the ecological difficulties they faced, one must first consider their environment, which we think of as　"jungle" or "tropical rainforest." This view is inaccurate, and the reason proves to be important. Properly speaking,　tropical rainforests grow in high-rainfall equatorial areas that remain wet or humid all year round. But the Maya homeland　lies more than sixteen hundred kilometers from the equator, at latitudes 17 to 22 degrees north, in a habitat termed a　"seasonal tropical forest." That is, while there does tend to be a rainy season from May to October, there is also a dry　season from January through April. If one focuses on the wet months, one calls the Maya homeland a "seasonal tropical　forest"; if one focuses on the dry months, one could instead describe it as a "seasonal desert."(Maya Water Problems)

　　Why does the author call the Mayan homeland both a “seasonal tropical forest” and "seasonal desert”?

　　○To illustrate how the climate of the Mayan homeland varied from region to region

　　○To explain how the climate of the Mayan homeland is similar to that of a jungle or tropical rainforest

　　○To emphasize the vast size of the area that comprised the Mayan homeland in ancient times

　　○To make the point that the Mayan homeland is climatically more complex than is generally assumed
