托福阅读长难句100句之49

今天我们来看这样一个句子：

The fact that some societies domesticated animals and plants, discovered the use of metal tools, became literate, and developed a state should not make us forget that others developed pastoralism or horticulture (vegetable gardening) but remained illiterate and at low levels of productivity; a few entered the modern period as hunting and gathering societies. (TPO21, 54)

domesticate /də'mestɪkeɪt/ v. 驯养(动物)

literate /'lɪtərət/ adj. 有读写能力的;有文化的

pastoralism /'pæstərəlɪzəm/ n. 田园主义(风格)，畜牧主义

horticulture /'hɔːtɪ,kʌltʃə/ n. 园艺，园艺学

大家自己先读，不回读，看一遍是否能理解
