Recent studies of ancient Maya water management have found that the urban architecture of
some cities was used to divert rainfall runoff into gravity-fed systems of interconnected
reservoirs. In the central and southern May Lowlands, this kind of water control was necessary
to support large populations throughout the year due to the scarcity of perennial surface water
and the seasonal availability of rainfall. Some scholars argue that the concentration of water
within the urban core of these sites provided a centralized source of political authority for
Maya elites based largely on controlled water access. Such an argument is plausible,
however, it is less useful for understanding the sociopolitical implications of water use and
control in other, water-rich parts of the Maya region.

Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
2. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the water management systems
in the central and southern Maya Lowlands?
A. They were implemented in part because of the prevailing pattern of rainfall.
B. They were an integral part of lowland cities' architecture.
C. They were needed because of insufficient resources such as ponds, rivers and lakes in the
lowlands.

不知道大家做过这篇阅读没。。KMF 200篇里的解析说是ABC,但原因很brief,就说只是因为文章第一句话。去网上搜很少人问,有的人说B不对,KMF官网却没给这题的答案,不知为啥。B不对的原因感觉是因为第一句话的some cities, 所以不是很integral。但第一句话并不只是指Lowland cities,反而文章第二句话说对于Lowland cities,这种water system is necessary,似乎又很integral。求问各位大神!!感谢!

这里central and southern Maya Lowlands如果指代了所有的lowlands的话,那B就是对了。如果文中所指的central and southern Maya Lowlands指的是部分的lowlands,那B就不能选。
我觉得他应该是想说,这些个lowlands分布在maya的中部和南部,而不是玛雅lowlands的中部和南部。毕竟它们都缺水,都具有相同的地貌特征。换句话说,文中所指的就是所有的lowlands。

你说的有道理哎, 不过integral part of architecture你觉得怎么体现出来的? 我是感觉这个water system对support large population很necessary, 另外第一句话只是说了这些城市的urban architecture用了这些water system, 但感觉不出来它是城市建筑的核心部分, 还是说我对integral理解有问题?

查字典说integral的意思是: necessary to make a whole complete; essential to completeness. 所以这里necessary等价于integral吗?

integral应该也没有核心这层意思(不然为什么不用core这样的词语)。
necessary to make a whole complete; essential to completeness. 那么对于一个整体,缺失任何一环其实都不能称之为整体,无关乎核心。好比拼图中任何一块都是它的integral part.

A对,回文发现 seasonal availability of rainfall.
B对,回文发现 urban architecture of some cities, 因为原文里边有this kind of water control,就把第一句话和Lowland连接起来了,就相当于说虽然第一句话没具体指哪里,但是Lowland的水利结构是有第一句的特点的。所以说还是城市建筑的一部分。
C对,回文发现 scarcity of perennial surface water。

southern May Lowlands
Lowlands is capital letter, so we cannot tell that southern May Lowlands is placed in the lowlands regions; it may place in high land and mountain; therefore, B is wrong
