　　托福阅读修辞目的题：Australia Aborigines

　　【Paragraph 4】Although the remarkable antiquity of Australia’s rock art is now established, the sequences and　meanings of its images have been widely debated. Since the mid-1970s, a reasonably stable picture has formed of the　organization of Australian rock art. In order to create a sense of structure to this picture, researchers have relied on a　distinction that still underlies the forms of much indigenous visual culture—a distinction between geometric and figurative　elements. Simple geometric repeated patterns—circles, concentric circles, and lines—constitute the iconography　(characteristic images) of the earliest rock-art sites found across Australia. The frequency with which certain simple　motifs appear in these oldest sites has led rock-art researchers to adopt a descriptive term—the Panaramitee style—a　label which takes its name from the extensive rock pavements at Panaramitee North in desert South Australia, which are　covered with motifs pecked into the surface. Certain features of these engravings lead to the conclusion that they are of　great age—geological changes had clearly happened after the designs had been made and local Aboriginal informants,when first questioned about them, seemed to know nothing of their origins. Furthermore, the designs were covered with　“desert varnish,” a glaze that develops on rock surfaces over thousands of years of exposure to the elements. The　simple motifs found at Panaramitee are common to many rock-art sites across Australia. Indeed, sites with engravings of　geometric shapes are also to be found on the island of Tasmania, which was separated from the mainland of the　continent some 10,000 years ago.(Rock Art of the Australia Aborigines)

　　Why does the author include information about Tasmania in paragraph 4?

　　○ To provide evidence that the Panaramitee style is widespread and of great age

　　○ To prove that Aboriginal Australians could not have made the carvings in Tasmania

　　○ To indicate how researchers have determined how long ago Tasmania separated from the mainland

　　○ To illustrate the importance of geometric rock art to tourism in Tasmania
