(왜때문인지 형식이 안나오네요)
액츄얼 테스트 교재 test 3 입니다. In this given set of information, there is
some discrepancy between the views of the lecturer from listening and the
author of the reading passage over the issue of the cause of migration of the
Anasazi civilization. The lecturer affirms that their migration was not due to a
drought, which opposed to the author’s idea presented from the passage.
First of all, the lecturer debunks the author’s first conjecture since it is disputable whether malnutrition has resulted from the drought. The lecturer mentions that malnutrition among the Anasazi people was common at that time because much of their crops were used by religious purposes. This view is diametrically opposed to the author’s claim that bones from Anasazi graves represent the insufficient crops due to the lack of rainfall.
In addition, the lecturer also indicates dissent over the author’s idea that the drought is a common condition of the forfeited settlements. The lecturer sounds convinced that the author is making a manifest error about the actual cause of the migration because they did not come back to their homeland even when the dry period was over. However, the author clarifies that moving to new settlements is a typical strategy used by the Anasazi to overcome the drought.
Thirdly, the lecturer goes on to expound that the author’s idea on characteristics of new settlements is flawed. The lecturer says that their new settlements did not have a suitable condition to supply water and thus are not adequate for agriculture. In this sense, their migration is less likely due to the drought or looking for new places for better water supply. However, this counters the author’s theory that resettled regions are providing some reliable water supplies such as streams and rainfall, which implies that the Anasazi intended to escape the area with a drought.
In summary, the author’s argument that the drought was a clear reason for the Anasazi to abandon their homeland is rendered groundless with the aforementioned explanations that the lecturer posits.
