2026年3月托福考试回忆第一部分：阅读Passage1Topic:TheEvolutionofEarlyAgricultureintheFertileCrescentThetransitionfromanomadichunter-gathererlifestyletosettledagriculturalcommunitiesisoneofthemostsignificantshiftsinhumanhistory,oftenreferredtoastheNeolithicRevolution.Thisprocesswasnotasuddeneventbutagradualtransformationthatoccurredoverthousandsofyears,primarilyintheFertileCrescent,aregionstretchingfromtheNileValleyinEgypttotheTigrisandEuphratesriversinMesopotamia.ThefavorableclimateconditionsfollowingthelastIceAgeplayedacrucialroleinthisdevelopment.Astemperaturesroseandrainfallbecamemorepredictable,wildvarietiesofwheat,barley,andothercerealsflourishedinvastquantities,providingareliablefoodsourceforhumanpopulations.Archaeologicalevidencesuggeststhattheinitialstepstowardagriculturewereunintentional.Hunter-gatherersbegantosettleinsemi-permanentcampsnearabundantwildgrainstands.Throughrepeatedharvestingandprocessingofthesegrains,peopleinadvertentlyselectedfortraitsthatmadedomesticationeasier,suchasatougherrachis(thestemthatholdsthegrain)andnon-shatteringseedheads.Overgenerations,thesewildplantsevolvedintodomesticatedcropsthatreliedonhumansfordispersal.Thisprocess,knownasunconsciousselection,markedthebeginningofplantdomestication.Thedomesticationofanimalsfollowedasimilartrajectory.Goats,sheep,andcattlewereinitiallyhuntedformeat.Ashumansettlementsexpanded,wildanimalsweredrawntotheseareasduetotheavailabilityoffoodscrapsandtherelativesafetyfrompredators.Overtime,humansbegantomanagetheseherds,controllingtheirbreedingandmovementtoensureasteadysupplyofmilk,meat,andhides.Thissymbioticrelationshipallowedhumanstoexploitsecondaryproductsthatwereunavailablefromwildanimals,suchasmilkfordailyconsumptionandwoolfortextiles.Theshifttoagriculturehadprofoundsocialanddemographicconsequences.Withamorereliableandcalorie-densefoodsupply,populationsbegantogrow.However,thisincreasecameatacost.Agriculturaldietswereoftenlessdiversethanthoseofhunter-gatherers,leadingtonutritionaldeficienciesandanincreaseindisease.Furthermore,theneedtostoresurplusfoodanddefendlandresourcesledtothedevelopmentofmorecomplexsocialhierarchiesandtheeventualriseoforganizedstates.Theconceptofprivatepropertyemergedasfamiliesandlineagesclaimedownershipofspecificplotsoflandandthecropstheyproduced.Despitethechallenges,theagriculturalfoundationlaidintheFertileCrescentallowedforthedevelopmentofspecializedlabor.Noteverymemberofsocietyneededtobeinvolvedinfoodproduction,leadingtotheriseofcraftsmen,priests,andrulers.Thisspecializationwasessentialfortheadvancementoftechnology,writingsystems,andmonumentalarchitecture,definingthetrajectoryofhumancivilizationformillennia.Questions:1.Theword"significant"inthepassageisclosestinmeaningto:A.ImportantB.StatisticalC.RapidD.Slight2.Accordingtoparagraph1,whatfactorcontributedtotheflourishingofwildcerealsintheFertileCrescent?A.TheinventionofirrigationsystemsB.ThedomesticationofgoatsandsheepC.ClimaticchangesaftertheIceAgeD.Thedeclineofhunter-gathererpopulations3.Thephrase"unconsciousselection"inthepassagerefersto:A.AdeliberatebreedingprogrambyearlyfarmersB.ThenaturalevolutionofplantswithouthumaninterferenceC.TheaccidentalmodificationofplanttraitsthroughhumanharvestingpracticesD.Thesurvivalofthefittestplantsinthewild4.Whydoestheauthormention"tougherrachis"and"non-shatteringseedheads"?A.TodescribethenaturalstateofwildgrainsB.ToexplaintraitsthatmadeplantseasiertoharvestandfarmC.ToillustratethedifficultiesearlyfarmersfacedD.Toarguethatthesetraitsmadethecropslessnutritious5.Whichofthefollowingcanbeinferredfromparagraph3abouttherelationshipbetweenhumansanddomesticatedanimals?A.Humanshunteddomesticatedanimalsmorefrequentlythanwildones.B.Animalsprovidednewresourceslikemilkandwoolafterdomestication.C.Domesticatedanimalswerecompletelyindependentofhumansforsurvival.D.Thedomesticationofanimalsoccurredbeforeplantdomestication.6.Theword"trajectory"inthefinalparagraphisclosestinmeaningto:A.SpeedB.PathC.ObstacleD.Origin7.Accordingtothepassage,whatwasamajorsocialconsequenceoftheagriculturalrevolution?A.ThedisappearanceofsocialhierarchiesB.AdecreaseinoverallpopulationsizeC.TheemergenceofprivatepropertyandspecializedlaborD.Areturntoanomadiclifestyle8.Whichofthesentencesbelowbestexpressestheessentialinformationinthehighlightedsentenceinthepassage?A.Agriculturaldietswerebetterthanhunter-gathererdiets,causingpopulationgrowth.B.Althoughfoodsupplyimproved,agriculturecausedhealthissuesandsocialcomplexity.C.Thecostoffoodproductiondecreasedsignificantlywithagriculture.D.Diseasewastheprimaryreasonforthefailureofearlyagriculturalsocieties.9.Lookatthefoursquares[■]thatindicatewherethefollowingsentencecouldbeaddedtothepassage."Thiscontroloveranimalreproductionwasapivotalmomentinhumanhistory."Wherewouldthesentencebestfit?A.Thefirstsquare.B.Thesecondsquare.C.Thethirdsquare.D.Thefourthsquare.10.Directions:Anintroductorysentenceforabriefsummaryofthepassageisprovidedbelow.CompletethesummarybyselectingtheTHREEanswerchoicesthatexpressthemostimportantideasinthepassage.Somesentencesdonotbelong
