2010 年 11 月北京成人英语三级考试真题及答案

Part I Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages in this

part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For

each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on

the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet.

Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or

less, "the study of old things".So, it is really a part of the study of

history.However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings

and photographs, but archaeologists (考古学家) learn from the objects left

behind by the humans of long ago.Normally, these are the hard materials that

don' t break down or disappear very quickly--things like human bones and

objects made from stone and metal.

It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of

history-normally, the bacteria(细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials,

like bodies, clothes and things made of wood.

Occasionally, things are different.

In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called

Lindow Moss, in the north of England.A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a

lot of plants growing in it.It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable

soup--walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever.The men

were working when one of them saw something sticking out--a human foot!

Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body.Was

it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years

old.The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of

Britain.Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal

organs--the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man' s

stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!

Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very

watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live.Also, the

water in the bog was very acidic.The acid preserved the man' s skin in the way

that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.

How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted

to know more about the person that they called," Lindow Man".(77) His hands and

fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life he

could have been a rich man.They found that he hadn' t died by accident.The

archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.
