GWD-9-Q4 to GWD-9-Q7:
By the sixteenth century, the Incas
of South America ruled an empire that
extended along the Pacific coast and
Line Andean highlands from what is now
(5) Ecuador to central Chile. While most
of the Incas were self-sufficient
agriculturists, the inhabitants of the
highland basins above 9,000 feet were
constrained by the kinds of crops they
(10) could cultivate. Whereas 95 percent
of the principal Andean food crops can
be cultivated below 3,000 feet, only
20 percent reproduce readily above
9,000 feet. Given this unequal
(15) resource distribution, highland Incas
needed access to the products of
lower, warmer climatic zones in order
to enlarge the variety and quantity of
their foodstuffs. In most of the prein-
(20) dustrial world, the problem of different
resource distribution was resolved by
long-distance trade networks over
which the end consumer exercised
little control. Although the peoples
(25) of the Andean highlands participated
in such networks, they relied primarily
on the maintenance of autonomous
production forces in as many ecological
zones as possible. The
(30) commodities produced in these
zones were extracted, processed,
and transported entirely by members
of a single group.
This strategy of direct access
(35) to a maximum number of ecological
zones by a single group is called
vertical economy. Even today,
one can see Andean communities
maintaining use rights simultaneously
(40) to pasturelands above 12,000 feet, to
potato fields in basins over 9,000 feet,
and to plots of warm-land crops in
regions below 6,000 feet. This
strategy has two principal variations.
(45) The first is “compressed verticality,”
in which a single village resides in
a location that permits easy access
to closely located ecological zones.
Different crop zones or pasturelands
(50) are located within a few days walk of
the parent community. Community
members may reside temporarily
in one of the lower zones to manage
the extraction of products unavailable
(55) in the homeland. In the second variation,
called the “vertical archipelago,”
the village exploits resources in widely
dispersed locations, constituting a
series of independent production
(60) “islands.” In certain pre-Columbian
Inca societies, groups were sent from
the home territory to establish permanent
satellite communities or colonies
in distant tropical forests or coastal
(65) locations. There the colonists grew
crops and extracted products for their
own use and for transshipment back
to their high-altitude compatriots.
In contrast to the compressed
(70) verticality system, in this system,
commodities rather than people
circulated through the archipelago.

GWD-9-Q5:
According to the passage, the inhabitants of the Andean highlands resolved the problem of unequal resource distribution primarily in which of the following ways?

A. Following self-sufficient agricultural practices
B. Increasing commodity production from the ecological zones in the highland basins
C. Increasing their reliance on long-distance trade networks
D. Establishing satellite communities throughout the Andean highlands
E. Establishing production forces in ecological zones beyond their parent communities

這題應該是A還是E
CD網上面好像還沒有一個定論

[iho0102]

:-S
這題我也是錯了
download裡的答案是a
but I choose E
The reason I chose E is from Line 24-29

However, the answer A can be found in Line 6

so I correct my answer as A

[liwuu]

我覺得還是E比較好...題目是針對unequal resource distribution,所以答案應該出現在此制度的後面,也就是line 24-29!!

[peishanu]

line27有"autonomous"，自治.....不就是"self-sufficient"，這是我選題時的想法，不知有沒有用？！

[davidlee0222]

autonomous是自己治理內政
self-sufficient是自給自足
抱歉
小弟快要做到這回了
等做完在為各位詳解

[Behemoth]

的確 autonomous也有自給自足之意

此題游24-29可以直接選a

[chunjuwu]

的確 autonomous也有自給自足之意

此題游24-29可以直接選a

這題我覺得是E

從二句出處判斷是A 或 E

Line 5: While most of the Incas were self-sufficient
agriculturists

Line 26:Although the peoples of the Andean highlands participated
in such networks, they relied primarily on the maintenance of autonomous
production forces in as many ecological zones as possible

可是注意題目問的是住在高地的人，而不是大部分的人：
the inhabitants of the Andean highlands resolved the problem of unequal resource distribution primarily in which of the following ways

請指教

[Jessy]

我選E

這是第5行至第10行的文字
While most of the Incas were self-sufficient agriculturists, the inhabitants of the highland basins above 9,000 feet were constrained by the kinds of crops they could cultivate.

這兩種比較, 所以題目問的應該算是後者
而 long- distance trade 跟 beyond their parents communities 換字

我選E

hi , jessy , 魚竊以為While most of the Incas were self-sufficient agriculturists, the inhabitants of the highland basins above 9,000 feet were constrained by the kinds of crops they could cultivate. while 在此並非表contrast , 而是句意鋪陳的轉折.

魚支持 A

line27有"autonomous"，自治.....不就是"self-sufficient"，這是我選題時的想法，不知有沒有用？！

my opinion is the same as yours.

Dear 魚
請看後面幾句, 提到Whereas 95 percent of the principal Andean food crops can be cultivated below 3,000 feet, only 20 percent reproduce readily above 9,000 feet. 接下來又提到unequal distribution的情形
所以潔西認為有跟self-sufficient對照比較的意味

[魚]

偶的中文翻譯 : 雖然[highlight=yellow]most[/highlight] of the Incas were self-sufficient agriculturists,但是the inhabitants of the highland basins [highlight=yellow]above 9,000 feet [/highlight]were constrained by the kinds of crops they (10) could cultivate. (接下來進ㄧ步說明為什麼: 因為Whereas 95 percent of the principal Andean food crops can be cultivated below 3,000 feet, only 20 percent reproduce readily above
9,000 feet.
補充說明 ,雖然有小轉折,但文章的重點並不是要強調 self vs un-self ;rose

HELP~~第五題我看最近down的最新cd解答竟然是C
我自己寫到第三次了還是忍不住選了a，請問有大大可以解答一下嘛><
我主要也是因為文章說到

In most of the prein-
dustrial world, the problem of different
resource distribution was resolved by
long-distance trade networks over
which the end consumer exercised
little control. Although the peoples
of the Andean highlands participated
in such networks, they relied primarily
on the maintenance of autonomous
production forces in as many ecological
zones as possible.

我的解讀是，為了解決不均衡的問題，大部分是靠長途交易網絡來解決問題
雖然andean人也有使用這個網絡，但他們主要還是依賴自給自足來解決問題

先看問題

20 percent reproduce readily above
9,000 feet. (進一步陳述問題)Given this unequal
(15) resource distribution, highland Incas
needed access to the products of

(換字 ! = unequal)resource distribution was resolved by

答案應該更正為 C

看到自己小時後的發言...真的瞞想一頭撞死 !

希望對fiona 有幫助嚕.....
