短文：The Origin of the Pacific Island People (TPO5)的答案

Paragraph1: The greater Pacific region, traditionally called Oceania, consists of three cultural areas:Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Melanesia, in the southwest Pacific, contains the large islands of　New Guinea, the Solomons, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. Micronesia, the area north of Melanesia,consists primarily of small scattered islands. Polynesia is the central Pacific area in the great triangle efined by Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand. Before the arrival of Europeans, the islands in the two largest cultural areas, Polynesia and Micronesia, together contained a population estimated at 700,000.

1. According to Paragraph1, all of the following are true statements about Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia EXCEPT

 Collectively, these regions are traditionally known as Oceania.

 These islands of Micronesia are small and spread out

 Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand mark the boundaries of Polynesia.

 Melanesia is situated to the north of Micronesia.

Paragraph2: Speculation on the origin of these Pacific islanders began as soon as outsiders encountered　them, in the absence of solid linguistic, archaeological, and biological data, many fanciful and mutually　exclusive theories were devised. Pacific islanders ere variously thought to have come from North America,South America, Egypt, Israel, and India, as well as Southeast Asia. Many older theories implicitly　deprecated the navigational abilities and overall cultural creativity of the Pacific islanders. For example,British anthropologists G. Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry assumed that only Egyptians would have been　skilled enough to navigate and colonize the Pacific. They inferred that the Egyptians even crossed the　Pacific to found the great civilizations of the New World (North and South America). In1947 Norwegian　adventurer Thor Heyerdahl drifted on a balsa-log raft westward with the winds and currents across the　Pacific from South America to prove his theory that Pacific islanders were Native Americans (also called　American Indians). Later Heyerdahl suggested that the Pacific was peopled by three migrations: by　Native Americans from the Pacific Northwest of North America drifting to Hawaii, by Peruvians drifting to　Easter Island, and by Melanesians. In 1969 he crossed the Atlantic in an Egyptian style reed boat to prove Egyptian influences in the Americas. Contrary to these theorists, the overwhelming evidence of　physical anthropology, linguistics, and archaeology shows that the Pacific islanders came from Southeast　Asia and were skilled enough as navigators to sail against the prevailing winds and currents.

2. By stating that the theories are mutually exclusive the author means that

 if one of the theories is true, then all the others must be false

 the differences between the theories are unimportant

 taken together, the theories cover all possibilities

 the theories support each other
