Question

【題目】Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Archaeologists have long thought that stone ships served as graves for one or several individuals, and have even been viewed as death ships 【1】 to take the dead to living eternally. However, a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows a different picture. It suggests Bronze Age stone monuments in the form of ships were built by sailors as a symbol of their practices at sea.

The study indicates that the stone ships and the activities that took place there point to people who were 【2】 focused on practices at sea. Details found within the stone structures show they were built to 【3】 real ships. The stone ships offer up 【4】 about the ship-building techniques of the time and about the ships that sailed on the Baltic Sea during the Bronze Age.

“These consist of areas that 【5】 hill forts and are located near easily 【6】 points in the landscape—that is, near well-known waterways leading inland,” Wehlin, head of the team, said. “While these areas have previously been thought to be much younger, recent age 【7】 have dated them to the Bronze Age.”

Archaeologists have believed that bronze was 【8】 to Scandinavia from the south, and recent analyses have helped confirm this notion. However, the people who distributed the bronze objects are rarely 【9】 in these thoughts.

“One reason why the meeting places of the Bronze Age are not discussed very often is that we haven’t been able to find them,” Wehlin said. “This is in 【10】 contrast to the trading places of the Viking Age, which have been easy to locate as they left behind such rich archaeological material.”

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。哥德堡大學(xué)的研究人員進(jìn)行的一項新研究表明，青銅時代的石碑船的形式是由水手建造的，作為他們在海上實(shí)踐的象征。

【1】考查非謂語動詞。句意：長期以來，考古學(xué)家們一直認(rèn)為石船是為一個或幾個人修建的墳?zāi)�，甚至被認(rèn)為是死亡之船，目的是讓死者永遠(yuǎn)活著。分析句子成分可知，主語為stone ships，謂語為have even been viewed as，賓語為death ships，故此處應(yīng)該用非謂語動詞。短語intend to do“打算做…”，符合題意，且intend與death ships之間是被動關(guān)系，應(yīng)該用done形式。故選AD。

【2】考查副詞。句意：研究表明，石頭船和那里發(fā)生的活動表明，人們主要關(guān)注在海上的活動。此處要用副詞修飾動詞were focused on。副詞majorly意為“真正地，極其地”，符合題意。故選A。

【3】考查動詞。句意：在石頭結(jié)構(gòu)中發(fā)現(xiàn)的細(xì)節(jié)表明，它們是用來代表真正的船只的。根據(jù)were built to可知此處用動詞原形，表示目的。動詞represent意為“代表，象征”，符合題意。故選B。

【4】考查名詞。句意：這些石船提供了有關(guān)當(dāng)時造船技術(shù)和青銅時代在波羅的海航行的船只的線索。根據(jù)offer up可知此處用名詞做賓語。名詞clues意為“線索”，符合題意。故選AC。

【5】考查動詞。句意：這些區(qū)域類似于山崗堡壘。分析句子成分可知，此處是that引導(dǎo)的定語從句，先行詞為areas，that充當(dāng)主語，故此處用動詞做謂語。動詞resemble意為“類似”，符合題意。故選BD。

【6】考查形容詞。句意：位于地形上容易到達(dá)的地點(diǎn)附近。此處要用形容詞修飾名詞points（地點(diǎn)）。形容詞accessible意為“可進(jìn)入的，易接近的”，符合題意。故選BC。

【7】考查名詞。句意：但最近的年齡測定將它們追溯到青銅時代。根據(jù)時態(tài)have dated可知此處要用可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式做主語。名詞復(fù)數(shù)determinations“測定”，符合題意。故選AB。

【8】考查動詞。句意：考古學(xué)家認(rèn)為青銅是從南方進(jìn)口到斯堪的納維亞的，最近的分析也證實(shí)了這一觀點(diǎn)。分析句子成分可知，此處是由that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句，從句中主語為bronze，賓語為Scandinavia，故此處用動詞過去式，是謂語部分。動詞import意為“進(jìn)口”，符合題意。故選ABC。

【9】考查動詞。句意：然而，在這些思想中，分配青銅物品的人很少被提及。分析句子成分可知，主語為the people who distributed the bronze objects，謂語為are rarely ____，故應(yīng)該用動詞過去分詞形式。動詞address“提出，陳述”，此處意為“提及”，符合題意。故選D。

【10】考查形容詞。句意：這與維京時代的貿(mào)易地點(diǎn)形成了巨大的對比。固定短語in contrast to“與……形成對照”，contrast是名詞，要用形容詞修飾名詞。形容詞immense意為“巨大的，廣大的”，符合題意。故選CD。
