Archaeologist: Researchers excavating a burial site in Cyprus found a feline skeleton lying near a human skeleton. Both skeletons were in the same sediment at the same depth and equally well-preserved, suggesting that the feline and human were buried together about 9,500 years ago. This shows that felines were domesticated around the time farming began, when they would have been useful in protecting stores of grain from mice.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the archaeologist’s argument?

Archaeologists have not found any remains of stores of grain in the immediate vicinity of the burial site. The burial site in Cyprus is substantially older than any other known burial site in which a feline skeleton and a human skeleton appear to have been buried together. Paintings found near the burial site seem to show people keeping felines as domestic companions, but do not show felines hunting mice. In Cyprus, there are many burial sites dating from around 9,500 years ago in which the remains of wild animals appear to have been buried alongside human remains. Before felines were domesticated, early farmers had no effective way to protect stores of grain from mice.

题干翻译
两具骨骼在同一沉积物中、同一深度且保存同样完好，表明猫和人类在约9500年前一起被埋葬。这显示猫在农业开始时被驯化，当时它们在保护谷物储存免受老鼠侵害方面很有用。 逻辑链
Cat human burial → Cat domesticated 问题类型
削弱题。 推理过程
论点是猫在农业开始时被驯化，论据是猫和人类在约9500年前一起被埋葬。要削弱该论点，需找到能切断论据和论点之间联系的选项。 选项分析
A选项：考古学家在埋葬地点附近没有发现谷物储存的遗迹。即使没发现谷物遗迹，也不能确定当时没有谷物储存，无法削弱猫被驯化的论点，排除。 B选项：塞浦路斯的埋葬地点比其他已知的猫和人类骨骼一起埋葬的地点要古老得多。埋葬地点的古老程度与猫是否在农业开始时被驯化无关，排除。 C选项：在埋葬地点附近发现的绘画似乎显示人们把猫当作家庭伴侣，但没有显示猫捕猎老鼠。绘画不能确切代表当时的真实情况，无法有效削弱，排除。 D选项：在塞浦路斯，有许多可追溯到约9500年前的埋葬地点，其中野生动物的遗骸似乎与人类遗骸一起被埋葬。说明猫和人类一起埋葬不能直接得出猫被驯化的结论，切断了论据和论点的联系，有力削弱，当选。 E选项：在猫被驯化之前，早期农民没有有效的方法来保护谷物储存免受老鼠侵害。这实际上是在支持猫被驯化的作用，起到加强作用，排除。
