3、t is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history-normally, the bacteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different. In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lind
4、ow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it.

5、! Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly-but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and int
6、ernal organsthe scientists who examined him were able to look inside the mans stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal! Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water
7、in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the mans skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes. How did he die?

8、ggested that he hadnt done heavy manual work in his lifehe could have been a rich man. They found that he hadnt died by accident.

9、n. 【答案】B。一网解题：可能谈不上什么常识储备，我们带着题干关键词：“archaeology”一目一行定位答案范围在：第一段第一句话。 “archaeology”一词源于希腊语。因此答案选择选项 B。应该是属于送分题目，不含技巧成分。2. The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to_. A. letters B. photographs C. paintings D. objects 【答案】D。一网解题：these“这些”，指代的东西前面已经提及过，四个选项均有提及，A 与 B 与 C 选项，是用 and 连接起来的没有主次之分的四
10、个并列词语，反过来也就是说，它们当中，我们无从选择，答案是 D。D 选项就包含了前面三个选项的内容。具体解法：细节题。根据“these”一词的上下语境可判断，该词是指上句话中的 “objects left behind by the humans of long ago”，很久以前人们留下来诸如骨头、石头和金属之类的物体，因此答案选择 D。3. Which of the following helped to preserve“Lindow Man”? A. Ice and Iow temperature. B. Bacteria and oxygen. C. Soil and energy.
11、 D. Acid and water. 【答案】D。一网解题：带着题干关键词： preserve“Lindow Man” 一目一行定位答案范围在：第四段的“he was in a very watery environment”和“the water in the bog was very acidic”，可知是由于充满水的环境以及水里面的酸使尸体保存比较完好，因此答案选 D。4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. “Lindow Man”was named after the per
12、son who first found him. B. Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence. C. “Lindow Man” was found by two archaeologists in the south of England. D. “Lindow Man”was good at manual work. 【答案】B。一网解题：此类题目，最好是带着选项内容去原文中寻找有价值的信息：A选项在第三段的细节题。根据文章第三段可知“Lindow Man”是 bog 沼泽的
13、名称，故 A 错；“Lindow Man”是两个施工中的男子发现，故 C 错；根据最后一段，可知“Lindow Man”是一个很少做体力活的富人，故 D 错；而从第一段中，可得知 B 对。认真做了第二小题的话，此题目就手到擒来了：However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally,
14、 these are the hard materials.。5. Which is the best title for the passage? A. What Is Archaeology? B. Archaeology and History C. An Amazing Archaeological Discovery D. The Death of“Lindow Man” 【答案】C。一网解题：此类题目我们有两种方法：一、利用切题解题法，通过题干的设置，去了解文章的大意，因为出题人的题干设置一般而言，也是围绕文章中心的；二、浏览每一自然段的第一句话和最后一句话，因为这些地方是主旨出没
15、的地方。此题目利用第二种方法较好：第三段第一句“两个人有了一个惊人的发现.”；第四段第一句话“为什么这个人保存得如此完好.”；第五段“ 他是怎么死的 ”。与之匹配的是 C 选项。具此可知，文章主要介绍了“Lindow Man”这一考古学上的惊人发现，而非讲述考古学的概念，也非考古学与历史的关系或“Lindow Man”的死因，因此 ABD 均为以偏概全。【全 文 翻 译】“考古学”一词像其他的学术词汇一样，是来自于希腊语，意思大致为“研究旧的东西”。所以，它是历史研究的一部分。然而，大多数历史学家使用诸如信函、油画和照片之类的纸质证据，而考古学家则从很久以前人类留下的物体获取信息。一般这些物体
16、是不容易分解或者消失的硬东西，比如说人的骨头、石头和金属制作的东西。通常除了这些硬东西，很少能再发现其他的东西，因为空气中的细菌常常会腐蚀掉尸体、衣服和木制品之类的软东西。不过偶尔也会有例外。1984 年，在英格兰北部一个叫做“Lindow Moss”的沼泽地区，两个男子正在施工的时候有一个惊人的发现。该沼泽是一个浸满水的地域，上面长了很多植物，可以比作一碗很大很稠的汤一一旦你走错了地方就会沉下去并永远消失。两个人正在施工时，其中一个人看见一个从水中翘起来的东西 一个人脚！于是他们就报了警，警察来之后发现了其余的尸体。这是一件谋杀案吗？也许，但是这个“案件”差不多是两千年前的事儿了。他们发现的这具尸体是古罗马入侵英国时留下的。尽管尸体已经很久远，但还是保留着皮肤，肌肉，毛发和内脏。科学家们甚至可以看到男子胃的内部，以及里面最后一次所吃的食物。为什么这具尸体保存如此完好？这是因为他处在一个非常潮湿多水的环境中，免受了需要氧气才能存活的细菌的侵扰。而且沼
