A.She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.B.She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past.C.She wants to identify the King39。s personal belongings and classify them.D.She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains.（4）This article probably encourages the readers to _____________. A.value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestorsB.make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behindC.understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masksD.bee more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，自從1888年在埃及發(fā)現(xiàn)了貓動物的木乃伊之后，大量的皇家墓穴被挖掘，成千上萬的木乃伊被運往世界各地，以攫取物質(zhì)利益。后來考古學家不再只是尋寶，而是把它作為一門科學研究。因為木乃伊展示了古埃及人的日常生活。正如古物學家薩利瑪伊克拉姆所說，木乃伊的研究是現(xiàn)代社會和過去的聯(lián)系的橋梁。 （1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中 Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change。 the rest were sold as fertilizer.可知，peddled后的to tourists for change即把最好的給游客來換取零錢，可知，此處的peddled是兜售給游客以換取零錢，可知peddle就是向他人炫耀從而售出，故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。第二段敘述了最初考古是為了尋找皇家陵墓，尋找華麗的黃金和彩繪面具來裝飾歐洲和美洲的地產(chǎn)和博物館。成千上萬的來自古埃及的動物木乃伊出現(xiàn)在埃及各地的宗教場所，但很少有人研究它們。可知，考古就是尋寶，為了物質(zhì)上的價值。以及第三段中的“ In the century since then, archaeology has bee less of atreasure huntand more of a science. ”從那以后的一個世紀里，考古學已不再是尋寶，而是一門科學，可知，他們尋找古埃及的遺跡僅僅是為了他們的物質(zhì)價值。分析選項可知D項符合題意，故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“she created a gallery for the collection — a bridge between people today and those of long ago.”可知，Salima Ikram把她的發(fā)現(xiàn)進行分類之后，她為這些收藏品創(chuàng)建了一個畫廊——一座連接今天的人和很久以前的人的橋梁。以及她的話You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King SoandSo had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000plus years, the ancient Egyptians bee clearer and closer to us. 你看著這些動物木乃伊，突然你說，哦，國王某某養(yǎng)了一只寵物。我有一只寵物。古埃及人與我們之間的距離不再是5000多年前的事了，而是變得更加清晰，離我們更近了。由此可推斷出她認為研究這些遺跡有助于把現(xiàn)代社會與過去聯(lián)系起來。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。本文主要敘述了古代埃及的木乃伊展示了古代埃及人的日常生活，是了解它們的途徑，有助于在現(xiàn)代社會與過去的之間建立一座橋梁。通過研究它們可以讓我們正確的評估過去。分析選項可知A符合題意，故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。4．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers39。 questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn39。t pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together. Why don39。t you travel with us? one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London. It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel39。s swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined plete strangers, who bee close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I39。ve backpacked alone across South Africa, skydived from 12,000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the . with no job lined up. On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn39。t picked up the phone.（1）By My stomach was in knots (in paragraph 1), the author most likely means that she was ______.
