In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass grave. The bodies weren39。t human. They were feline — ancient cats that had been mummified(木乃伊化的) and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. Not one or two here and there, reported English Illustrated Magazine, but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep. Some of the linenwrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change。 the rest were sold as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England. Those were the days of generously funded explorations—that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized. In the century since then, archaeology has bee less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites39。 wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks—what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that. They39。re really displays of daily life, says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath bandages with xrays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection — a bridge between people today and those of long ago. 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.（1）Which of the following words has the closest meaning to peddled(paragraph 1)? A.modernizedB.displayedC.illustratedD.demonstrated（2）Why was archaeology once referred to as a treasure hunt (paragraph 3)? A.In the royal tombs, there were many treasures made of silver and gold.B.Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable.C.It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt.D.People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value.（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram? 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(dòng)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(yùn)往世界各地，以攫取物質(zhì)利益。后來考古學(xué)家不再只是尋寶，而是把它作為一門科學(xué)研究。因?yàn)槟灸艘琳故玖斯虐＜叭说娜粘Ｉ?。正如古物學(xué)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(dòng)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?？芍?，考古就是尋寶，為了物質(zhì)上的價(jià)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(gè)世紀(jì)里，考古學(xué)已不再是尋寶，而是一門科學(xué)，可知，他們尋找古埃及的遺跡僅僅是為了他們的物質(zhì)價(jià)值。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)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(jìn)行分類之后，她為這些收藏品創(chuàng)建了一個(gè)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(dòng)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(rèn)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(xiàng)可知A符合題意，故選A。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個(gè)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(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 It was only after her death f
