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。 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. 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.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.B.C.D.In the royal tombs, there were many treasures made of silver and gold.B.It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt.D.She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.B.She wants to identify the King39。She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains.(4)This article probably encourages the readers to _____________. A.make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behindC.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(wàn)的木乃伊被運(yùn)往世界各地,以攫取物質(zhì)利益。因?yàn)槟灸艘琳故玖斯虐<叭说娜粘I?。伊克拉姆所說(shuō),木乃伊的研究是現(xiàn)代社會(huì)和過(guò)去的聯(lián)系的橋梁。根據(jù)第一段中 Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change。 (2)考查推理判斷。成千上萬(wàn)的來(lái)自古埃及的動(dòng)物木乃伊出現(xiàn)在埃及各地的宗教場(chǎng)所,但很少有人研究它們。以及第三段中的“ In the century since then, archaeology has bee less of aand 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。 (3)考查推理判斷。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(shuō),哦,國(guó)王某某養(yǎng)了一只寵物。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。故選B。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(huì)與過(guò)去的之間建立一座橋梁。分析選項(xiàng)可知A符合題意,故選A。4.閱讀理解 When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story obtained a 1937 crown for me and I have always kept it in my wallet and I have always had enough for my needs.
