【正文】 five megalithic burial sites in Ireland, Scotland and Gotland, a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea. This analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived between 3,800 . and 2,600 ., according to radiocarbondating of their remains, were closely related via family ties. The results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct from other huntergatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island of Gotland. The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level pared to the individuals dug out from huntergather contexts, showing that the burial tradition in this megalithic tomb, which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct groups with roots in the European Neolithic expansion, Magdalena Fraser, cofirst author from Uppsala University, said in the statement.（1）What39。s the significance of the new findings? A.It reveals the family ties between people in Ireland and Sweden.B.It implies that many people buried in the tombs were closely related.C.It indicates the longhidden mystery concerning DNA analysis.D.It suggests that the megaliths became tombs thousands of years ago.（2）How did the researchers reach their findings? interviewing individuals. travelling to different regions. analyzing genes. studying the burial sites.（3）Which is true according to the latest findings? people buried in the tombs were related to farmers. people buried in the tombs were genetically different. the people buried at megaliths had family relationships. buried in the Ansarve tomb were dug out 700 years later.（4）What39。s the main idea of this passage? served as tombs thousands of years ago. buried at the megaliths were recently analyzed. findings shed light on a mystery about burials. people in Ireland and Sweden had close ties.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，最新一項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)顯示石器時(shí)代的愛爾蘭人和瑞典人可能存在親屬關(guān)系。研究人員通過分析來自愛爾蘭、蘇格蘭和位于波羅的海的瑞典格特蘭島的5個(gè)巨石墓葬遺址的24個(gè)石器時(shí)代個(gè)體的基因組。發(fā)現(xiàn)，每座巨石下埋葬著許多人，他們都生活在公元前3800年至公元前2600年之間根據(jù)他們遺體的放射性碳年代測(cè)定，他們的血緣關(guān)系非常密切。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“DNA analysis has revealed family relationships between more than 10 generations of Stone Age people at megalithic (巨石的) tombs in Ireland and Sweden.”可知DNA分析揭示了愛爾蘭和瑞典巨石墓群10多代人之間存在家庭關(guān)系。這項(xiàng)新發(fā)現(xiàn)意味著埋葬在墳?zāi)估锏脑S多人是近親。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomes”可知研究人員是通過分析基因組得出這項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)的，故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“The results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe”可知埋葬在巨石陣中的人與北歐和西歐的新石器時(shí)代農(nóng)民有關(guān)，故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“DNA analysis has revealed family relationships between more than 10 generations of Stone Age people at megalithic (巨石的) tombs in Ireland and Sweden.”以及文章主要內(nèi)容可知文章中心內(nèi)容主要圍繞著石器時(shí)代的愛爾蘭人和瑞典人有密切聯(lián)系展開。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 Road trip Motorhome delivery offers great family holidays.
