Swedish Archaeologists Make New Discoveries
Archaeologists have begun exploring an unknown ancient city at a village called Vlochos,five hours north of Athens.The Archaeological (31)Hare scattered on and around the Strongiloveni hill on the great Thessaliam plains and can be traced to several historical periods.
"What used to be considered remains of some (32)Isettlement can now be upgraded to remains of a city higher significance than (33)Cthought,"says Robin Ronnland,PhD student in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at the university of Gotheoburg and leader of the firework.
"We came across the site which has never been explored before in connection with another project last year and retailed the great (34)Jright away."
Working together with the Swedish Institute at Athens and the local archaeological service in Karditsa,the Vlochos Archacological Project (VLAP) was started with an aim to explore the remains.The project's research team completed the first field season during two weeks in September 2016.
Ronnlund says that the hill is hiding many (35)E.Remains of towers,walls and city gates can be found on the mountaintop and slopes,but (36)Ganything is visible on the ground below.The ambition is to avoid digging and instead use (37)Asuch as ground-penetrating radar.This will enable the team to leave the site in the same (38)Bas it was in when they arrived.The success of this method is (39)Dfrom the results of the first field season.
"We found a town square and a street network that indicate that we are dealing with quite a large city.The area inside the city wall measured over 40hectares.We also found ancient pottery and coins that can help to(40)Fthe city.Our oldest finds are from around 500BC,but the city seems to have flourished mainly from the fourth to the third century BC before it was abandoned for some reason,maybe in connection with the Roman conquest of the area.
Ronnlund believes that the Swedish-Greek project can provide important clues as to what happened during this violent period in Greek history.
分析 本文講述了瑞典考古學家的新發(fā)現(xiàn).考古學家發(fā)現(xiàn)了被埋藏的一座古城,但是考古學家是使用雷達進行探測,而不是進行挖掘,這樣做極大地保護了這塊區(qū)域,為后來的修復(fù)成功提供了極大的保障.
解答 31-40 HICJE GABDF
31.H.remains遺跡.前面提到"Archaeologists have begun exploring an unknown ancient city at a village called Vlochos",所以考古學的遺跡仍然分散在這個村莊.故選H.
32.I.irrelevant不相干的.根據(jù)句意,過去被認為是一些不相關(guān)的地區(qū),現(xiàn)在由于發(fā)現(xiàn)歷史遺跡,可以升級為一個更重要的城市.故選I.
33.C.previously以前的.根據(jù)句意,和以前的想法相比,現(xiàn)在認為這一地區(qū)很重要.故選C.
34.J.potential潛能.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)的這個區(qū)域,是在去年從未被探索過的,并將潛在的巨大潛能.故選J.
35.E.secret秘密.根據(jù)后面的描述可知,這座山上埋藏了很多秘密.故選E.
36.G.hardly幾乎不.根據(jù)描述,塔,城墻和城門都可以找到在山頂和山坡,但幾乎看不到下面的地面.故選G.
37.A.a(chǎn)pproach方法.根據(jù)句意,他們的目的是避免進行挖掘,而是使用探地雷達等方法來進行探索.故選A.
38.B.shape形狀.前面提到,考古學家使用雷達進行探測,而不是進行挖掘.可推測出這樣做可以使這片區(qū)域保持原來的形狀.故選B.
39.D.evident顯然.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,這個方法的成功顯然是來自于先前第一階段努力(用雷達探測而不是挖掘)的結(jié)果.故選D.
40.F.date確定年代.根據(jù)"We also found ancient pottery and coins"可知,我們還發(fā)現(xiàn)了古代陶器和硬幣,這些可以幫助我們確定這個城市的年代.
點評 該題型選詞填空的選項詞義互不關(guān)聯(lián),詞性也不同,而且還有干擾項,一定要先了解文章大意,帶著文章脈絡(luò)去找選項.務(wù)必先沉著地把文章讀一遍,尤其注意橫線前后的位置,為尋找正確選項打下鋪墊.通讀時要根據(jù)首段原則以及首末句原則,迅速抓出文章的主題.判定文章主題對于篇章的整體把握具有很大的積極意義.
