【正文】 ter 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 gaze that develops on rock surfaces over thousands of years of exposure to the elements. The simple motifs found at Panaramitee are mon to many rockart 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. In the 1970s when the study of Australian archaeology was in an exciting phase of development, with the great antiquity of rock art being clear. Lesley Maynard the archaeologist who coined the phrase Panaramitee style, suggested that a sequence could be determined far Australian rock art in which a geometric style gave way to a simple figurative style (outlines of figures and animals), followed by a range of plex figurative styles that, unlike the panAustralian geometric tradition tended to much greater regional diversity. While accepting that this sequence fits the archaeological profile of Those sites, which were occupied continuously ever many thousands of years a number of writers have warned that the underlying assumption of such a sequencea development from the simple and the geometric to the plex and naturalisticobscures the cultural continuities in Aboriginal Australia in which geometric symbolism remains fundamentally important. In this context the simplicity of a geometric motif may be more apparent than real. Motifs of seeming simplicity can encode plex meanings in Aboriginal Australia. And has not twentiethcentury art shown that naturalism does not necessarily follow abstraction in some kind of predetermined sequence? Right Answer:2 15. The word infrequent in the passage is closest in meaning to puzzling unmon questionable undocumented 滿分網(wǎng)（ ） Right Answer:4 16. According to paragraph 1, the twentiethcentury approach to studying Australian rock art was different from earlier approaches because the twentiethcentury approach recognized that many different groups of Aborigines created Australian rock art concentrated on a limited range of Aboriginal cock art examined Aboriginal art from an Aboriginal rather than from a European perspective focused more intensely on understanding and documenting rock art Right Answer:2 17. The word relatively in the passage is closest in meaning to pletely paratively apparently particularly Right Answer:3 18. The word discern in the passage is closest in meaning to indicate apply identify repeat Right Answer:4 19. The word revised in the passage is closest in meaning to Discussed raised challenged changed Right Answer:2 20. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information. The oldest rock art sites have simpler motifs than the known sites of Panaramitee North. Because motifs primarily associated with the Panaramitee region are mon in the oldest sites the term Panaramitee style has bee the 滿分網(wǎng)（ ） general term for rock art of this type. Because the Panaramitee style is so mon in the older sites, researchers have described it most extensively. The motifs carved in the rocky surface of the Panaramitee region make up the oldest form of rock art discoverer in Australia. Right Answer:3 21. According to paragraph 4, researchers have anized and structured Australian rock art by distinguishing between which of the following? images found at Panaramitee North and images found in other parts of Australia Images found in a particular type of rock layer and images found in other types of rock layers images that have geometric elements and images that have figurative elements images that are typically found and images that are rarely found Right Answer:1 22. According to paragraph 4, all of the following are signs of the great age of the Panaramitee engravings EXCEPT: The engravings consisted of simple animal drawings. The engravings were covered with a layer of a substance known as desert varnish Local Aborigines who were asked knew nothing about the origin of the engravings. Geologic changes had occurred after the engravings were made. Right Answer:1 23. 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 carving in Tasmania To indicate how researchers have determined how long Tasmania separated from the mainland To illustrate the importance of geometric rock art to tourism in Tasmania Right Answer:1 24. According to paragraph 5, the plex figurative style differs from the geometric style in that the plex figurative style varies significantly from region to region 滿分網(wǎng)（ ） is more meaningful appears on only a few types of rocks has changed little overtime Right Answer:4 25. According to paragraph 5, Lesley Maryland made which of the following suggestions about Australian rock art? There was a pattern of human figures being represented in a more plex style than animal figures. Australian archaeology should concentrate on determining the sequence of styles that led up to the Panaramitee style. The great antiquity of Australian rock art would probably make it impossible to determine the ages of the various styles found in rock art The geometric style of Australian rock art was replaced by increasingly plex figurative styles. Right Answer:3
