The observation of the skies has played a special part in the lives and cultures of peoples since the earliest of times. Evidence obtained from a site known as the Hole in the Rock, in Papago Park in Phoenix, Arizona, indicates that it might have been used as an observatory by a prehistoric people known as the Hohokam.

The physical attributes of the site allow its use as a natural calendar/clock. The "hole" at Hole in the Rock is formed by two large overhanging rocks coming together at a point, creating a shelter with an opening large enough for several persons to pass through. The northeast-facing overhang has a smaller opening in its roof. It is this smaller hole that produces the attributes that may have been used as a calendar/clock.

Because of its location in the shelter's roof, a beam of sunlight can pass through this second hole and cast a spot onto the shelter's wall and floor. This spot of light travels from west to east as the sun moves across the sky. It also moves from north to south and back again as the Earth travels around the Sun. the west-to-east movement could have been used to establish a daily clock, much like a sundial, while the north-to-south movement could have been used to establish a seasonal calendar.

The spot first appears and starts down the surface of the wall of the shelter at different times of the morning depending on the time of the year. The spot grows in size from its first appearance until its maximum size is achieved roughly at midday. It then continues its downward movement until it reaches a point where it jumps to the floor of the shelter. As the Sun continues to move to the west, the spot continues to move across the shelter floor and down the butte, or hill, toward a group of small boulders. If a person is seated on a certain one of these rocks as the spot reaches it, the Sun can be viewed through the calendar hole. This occurs at different times in the afternoon depending on the time of year.

Which of the following is NOT true of the spot of light?

A. It is caused by sunlight passing through a hole.

B. Its movement is affected by the position of theSun.

C. It travels across the roof of the shelter.

D. Its movement could have been used to estimate the time ofday.

C Câu A: “Because of its location in the shelter's roof, a beam of sunlight can pass through this second hole and cast a spot onto the shelter's wall and floor.” = Do vị trí của nó trên mái nhà, một chùm ánh sáng mặt trời có thể xuyên qua lỗ thứ hai này và để lại một điểm sáng trên tường và sàn nhà. Câu B: “This spot of light travels from west to east as the sun moves across the sky. It also moves from north to south and back again as the Earth travels around the Sun.” = Điểm sáng này đi từ tây sang đông khi mặt trời di chuyển qua bầu trời. Nó cũng di chuyển từ bắc xuống nam và trở lại khi trái đất quay quanh mặt trời. Câu D: “The west-to-east movement could have been used to establish a daily clock, much like a sundial, while the north-to-south movement could have been used to establish a seasonal calendar.” = Chuyển động tây-đông có thể đã được dung để lập đồng hồ ngày, như một đồng hồ mặt trời, trong khi chuyển động bắc- nam có thể đã được dùng để tạo ra lịch theo mùa. Câu C không đúng vì ánh sáng không đi xuyên qua mái nhà mà đi qua một cái lỗ.
