▶ Your Answer :
In the reading, there is ample support for the author’s claims that the available evidence shows that it is extremely doubtful that the Amazon has ever supported a large, advanced civilization. However the professor in the lecture gives several reasons contradictory to the author’s point.
First of all, the professor points that Amazon organized the system such as camels (what system? be more specific.). It is true people could build a large society with a sophisticated system. Therefore the people’s cooperative effort that is required to build a large, organized society was possible. This refutes the reading passage that the dense jungle of the Amazon rain forest prevented the formation of a vast civilization.
Moreover, in the lecture, the point is made that the artifacts could not have remained. This is attributed to the fact that it was a burdened area before, so people could not find all of the artifacts. For example, there are beautiful artifacts near Amazon river, but people could only find these after a long time. This casts doubt on the idea in the reading passage that the artifacts that have been discovered in the Amazon lack sophistication.
The final point made by the lecturer is that Amazon was located so vast area. (문장이 전체적으로 어색해요. so vast하다는 얘기라면 Amazon is such a vast area. 라고 하는게 더 자연스러울 것 같아요.) This is because the Amazon river is over 50000km, so it is difficult to find the civilization or cities. Therefore the European explorers could not search (in this case, 'find' is better) an advanced society. This is different from the author’s point that European expeditions into the Amazon rain forest proved that no large civilization existed there. |
