托福阅读经典背景知识：文明发展史

2017-10-10 18:07:09来源：网络

　　为了帮助考生更好的备考托福阅读，在考试中能有更理想的发挥，新东方在线托福网为大家带来托福阅读经典背景知识：文明发展史一文，希望对大家托福备考有所帮助。更多精彩尽请关注新东方在线托福网!

　　托福阅读真题再现：

　　版本一： 讲某个文明，说多个原因导致其发展。一是葡萄藤和橄榄树的引入，和传统农作物不冲突，无论土地还是收获期。这使人们可以从事其他如炼金属青铜什么的。然后这导致了不同group的争斗，争夺资源和specialist。总体和某个TPO阅读很像。

　　版本二：讲希腊文明，全文大意一句总结：traditional analysis focused on external influences,but the professor thinks from the perspective of MUTILIER EFFECT(考点)，which combined several interal impacts.

　　版本三：地中海地区某一时间一些国家的发展 A国发展之一种了Oliva什么的一种长在岛上不用在Farm上而且工人对这种作物的劳动时间也和其他作物不一样，所以能大力发展，还有一种是Bronze的发展

　　解析： 本文讲文明发展史。主要讨论的是某文明发展的原因，主旨明确，结构清晰，每段首句为topic sentence的可能性较高。大家在阅读文章之前可以先跳到最后一题(文章总结题)的位置看看那句对于文章总结的句子。对于大家从整体上把握文章的结构非常有帮助。从文章结构与内容上，都非常接近TPO8的文章The Rise of Teotihucan。

　　托福阅读相关背景：

　　Sumer

　　Sumer (from Akkadian Šumeru; Sumerian ki-en-ĝir15, approximately "land of the civilized kings" or "native land"[note 1]) was an ancientcivilization and historical region in southern Mesopotamia, modern-day southern Iraq, during the Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age. Although the earliest forms of writing in the region do not go back much further than c. 3500 BC, modern historians have suggested that Sumer was first permanently settled between c. 5500 and 4000 BC by a non-Semitic people who may or may not have spoken the Sumerian language (pointing to the names of cities, rivers, basic occupations, etc. as evidence).[1][2][3][4] These conjectured, prehistoric people are now called "proto-Euphrateans" or "Ubaidians",[5] and are theorized to have evolved from the Samarra culture of northern Mesopotamia (Assyria).[6][7][8][9] The Ubaidians were the first civilizing force in Sumer, draining the marshes for agriculture, developing trade, and establishing industries, including weaving, leatherwork, metalwork, masonry, and pottery.[5] However, some scholars such as Piotr Michalowski and Gerd Steiner, contest the idea of a Proto-Euphratean language or one substrate language. It has been suggested by them and others, that the Sumerian language was originally that of the hunter and fisher peoples, who lived in the marshland and the Eastern Arabia littoral region, and were part of theArabian bifacial culture.[10] Reliable historical records begin much later; there are none in Sumer of any kind that have been dated beforeEnmebaragesi (c. 26th century BC). Professor Juris Zarins believes the Sumerians were settled along the coast of Eastern Arabia, today's Persian Gulf region, before it flooded at the end of the Ice Age.[11] Sumerian literature speaks of their homeland being Dilmun.
