五、阅读理解

More than 2,000 years ago,when the last shovelful(一铲) of dirt fell on the Terracotta Warriors,it was thought that they would never see the sunlight again and would spend the rest of their “lives” guarding and protecting the first Chinese emperor,Qin Shi Huang,who died in 210 BC.

But things got better off these clay (陶土的) soldiers.Ever since they were discovered in Xi’an in 1974,by a group of farmers;they’ve been able to see the bigger world—traveling from one museum to the next.

They are now on display in New York at Discovery Times Square,reported TheNewYorkTimes.

However,the story doesn’t end here.The roughly 2,000 soldiers found so far are estimated(估计) to be only one quarter of the total number.Moreover,scientists haven’t yet dared to touch the central tomb,which is believed to contain the body of the emperor himself.

“Partly it’s out of respect for the elders,” explained Kristin Romey,consultant(顾问) for the exhibition.“But they also realize that nobody in the world right now has the technology to properly go in and excavate(挖掘) it.”

This is true.According to ancient writings,the emperor’s tomb is circled by rivers of liquid mercury(水银) which is highly poisonous but can keep the body in good condition.Studies of the soil around the tomb also found a large amount of mercury.This makes exploring the tomb very dangerous.

The other reason that scientists have been hesitating is that they are afraid of the damage they might cause by opening the tomb.

“When we began excavating ‘the soldiers’,the minute they were exposed to air and sunlight,the pigment(颜料) just flaked off (剥落),” Romey told the FoxNews.

But he believes that the solution will come when science advances.Perhaps a visual robot can be sent into the tomb first to investigate and help figure out the best way to protect it. 

In the end,scientists and historians must weigh their desire to know against the damage their digging might cause.“Archaeology,ultimately (最终),is a destructive science,” Romey said.“You have to destroy stuff in order to learn about it.”

1.What is the point of the article?

A.To tell about the mysteries of Qin Shi Huang’s tomb.

B.To analyze why archaeology is a destructive science.

C.To introduce the Terracotta Warriors exhibition in New York.

D.To explain the risks of further excavating Qin Shi Huang’s tomb.

答案D

解析主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是为什么科学家目前还不敢动手开挖秦始皇陵,以及这其中的风险所在,所以答案为D项。

2.What can be concluded from the article?

A.It is estimated that about 10,000 clay soldiers were buried with Qin Shi Huang in his grave.

B.The decision whether to open the tomb or not is likely to be influenced by the pace of technological progress.

C.The highly poisonous mercury was used by Qin Shi Huang to keep away those who attempt to destroy his tomb.

D.Scientists won’t excavate Qin Shi Huang’s tomb until they think of a good way to preserve the body of the emperor.

答案B

解析推理判断题。由第四段中的“Theroughly2,000soldiersfoundsofarareestimated(估计)tobeonlyonequarterofthetotalnumber.”可知A项不对;由第六段中的“theemperor’stombiscircledbyriversofliquidmercury(水银)whichishighlypoisonousbutcankeepthebodyingoodcondition”可知秦始皇使用水银主要是为了更好地保存自己的遗体,所以C项不对;科学家们等待技术发展到一定程度,直到他们能够尽可能减少对陵墓的损害的时候再动手开墓,而不是找到办法保存秦始皇的遗体,所以B项正确,D项不对。

3.The underlined word “investigate” in the last but one paragraph probably means 　　　. 

A.explore B.arrange

C.take over D.settle down

答案A

解析词义猜测题。上文提到由于有水银,挖掘人员不能进入陵墓,所以这里提到的机器人的作用就是代替科学家进入陵墓研究,所以investigate在这里的意思就是“侦查,调查,研究”,故选A项。

4.What should scientists and historians pay attention to in their work according to the article?

A.They should respect the ancient world during their work.

B.They should always take their own safety into consideration.

C.They should balance the value and damages of their work.

D.They should have a continuous desire to know new things.

答案C

解析细节理解题。由最后一段的“Intheend,scientistsandhistoriansmustweightheirdesiretoknowagainstthedamagetheirdiggingmightcause.”可知C项为正确答案。
