问题     Stone Age potters crafted complicated and often delicate ceramic pots, tools, and jewel. They also crafted crude pottery figurines. Many of the delicate ceramic pots, tools, and jewelry have been found intact or nearly so, whereas the figurines, crafted at roughly the same time as the ceramics, have largely been found in tiny fragments.
    Which of the following, if true, best explains why few of the pottery figurines, but many of the delicate ceramics, have been found intact?
选项 A、When a pottery piece from any batch was broken during finishing, Stone Age people sometimes deliberately smashed the rest of that batch, perhaps to avert bad luck.
B、The composition of clay, which affects the durability of any pottery made from it, varies greatly from one area of the world to another.
C、Pottery was invented in the Stone Age, and techniques for making pottery were mastered well before those required for delicate ceramic work.
D、Stone Age potters crafted pottery figurines as frequently as they did ceramic pieces.
E、Many Stone Age rituals involved the destruction of a pottery figurine, perhaps as a sacrifice to the gods.
答案E
解析 陶俑是为了祭祀神灵而碎的，可以解释原文，E正确。A项根据原文，碎了的陶俑和完整的陶瓷都是同一时间完成的，即同一批次，则根据该选项，要砸碎都砸碎，但是只有陶瓷物品是完整的，因此无法解释原文，不选。B项本文没有讨论世界各地的不同情况，不选。C项本文和技术掌握的先后顺序无关，不选。D项制作频率和陶俑破碎无关，不选。
