这篇的听力部门，2'26”
文字三百出头，仍是小漫笔的节拍，这个阶段的进修，听完看，记得回想比照，巩固和晋升听力能力。
Unfortunately none of the arguments about what the Chaco great houses were used for is convincing. 不幸的是，关于Chaco大屋群用处的会商，没有一条是有说服力的。
First, sure, from the outside, the great houses look like later and Native American apartment buildings, but the inside of the great houses casts serious doubt on the idea that many people lived there. I'll explain. If hundreds of people were living in the great houses, then there would have to be many fireplaces, where each 
family did its daily cooking, but there are very few fireplaces. In one of the largest great houses, there were fireplaces for only around ten families, yet there are enough rooms in the great house for more than a hundred families, so the primary function of the houses couldn't have been residential.
起首，从外部看，大屋群象晚期美洲土著的朋分屋，可是内部来看，是不是有人住是值得猜疑的。我后面会诠释。若是数百人曾栖身在这里，那末得有动怒，每一个家庭做饭的处所啊，可是屋群里只有很少的动怒点。在如斯之大的处所，只有够大要十个家庭做饭的，而栖身生齿约莫要高于一百个家庭，这个处所重要功效不成能是用来人居的。
Second, the idea that the great houses were used to store grain maize is unsupported by evidence. It many sound plausible that large empty rooms were used for storage, but excavations of the great houses have not uncovered many traces of maize or maize containers. If the great houses were used for storage, why isn't there more spilled maize on the floor? Why aren't there more remains of big containers?
其二，寄存玉米粒的论坛没有证据支撑。大的空房子用作贮存的设法值得拍手，可是开掘屋群并无发明不少玉米容器的陈迹。若是这里曾用作贮存，怎样会没有任何
溢出的玉米遗留在地上，怎样会没有更多的保存容器呢？
Third, the idea that the great houses were ceremonial centers isn't well supported either. You know that mound at Pueblo Alto? It contains lots of other materials besides broken pots, stuff you wouldn't expect from ceremonies. For example, there are large quantities of building materials, sands, stones, even construction tools. This suggests that the mound is just a trash heap of construction material, stuff that was thrown away or not sued up when a house was being built. The pots in the pile could be regular trash too, leftover from the meals of the construction workers. So the Pueblo Alto mound is not good evidence that the great houses were used for special ceremonies.
第三，屋群是用来作庆典典礼的说法也没有证据支撑。你晓得Pueblo Alto堆着的是啥？除碎壶外，另有不少其他工具，很多多少你不克不及期望从庆典典礼上留下的工具。好比，大量的修建物资，沙，石头，修建未用完或用后抛弃的工具。堆中的碎壶可能也是通例的垃圾，给修建工人做饭后留下的。
以是Pueblo Alto堆头其实不是能证实屋群是用来做特别典礼的。
这个阶段的进修，记得几个比对：浏览质料和听力质料的比对；听力和听力质料的比对。前者可以帮忙咱们很快进入到综合写作写的部门，后者对付听力临时比力弱的考生有帮忙，趁此把听力操练到精准。
