四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】Ten years ago, most experts would have agreed that the first people in the Americas arrived about 14,000years ago by walking across a land bridge that crossed the Bering Strait—the boundary between Siberia andAlaska. They then traveled south through an open area of ground between great sheets of ice that stretchedacross North America at that time. Today, however, this theory is being challenged.An alternative theory suggests that instead of a single first migration, various groups of people came to theAmericas at intervals spaced well apart in time. Another theory proposes that, rather than walking across a landbridge, some came by boat. According to this theory, ancient people might have kayaked their way along theshoreline just as adventurous tourists do today.Looking at ancient tools found in America, archeologist Dennis Stanford noticed that their shape isanalogous to tools used by the Solutrean culture of southwestern Europe. He thinks it is conceivable that peopleof that culture may have kayaked across the Atlantic from Europe to America perhaps 20,000 years ago orearlier.The science of archeology often produces theories that are based on very small bits of evidence. Today’sarcheologists know that being stubborn and holding on to one theory while shutting out the others isn’t goodscience. They know they need to be patient as more buried pieces of the puzzle are dug out of the ground. Asnew evidence is discovered that disrupts existing theories, they adjust those theories to explain the new facts.
