The Mysteries of Nazca
In the desert of Peru, 300kilometers from Lima, one of the most unusual artworks in the world hasmystified (迷惑) people for decades. ______ (46) But from high above, these marks arehuge images of birds, fish, seashells, all beautifully carved into the earth.
The Nazca lines are sodifficult to see from the ground that they weren&39;t discovered until the 1930s,when pilots spotted them while flying over the area. In all, there are about 70different human and animal figures on the plain, along with 900 triangles,circles, and lines.
Researchers have figured outthat the lines are at least l, 500 years old, but their purpose is still amystery.______(47) However, it would probably be very tricky to land aspaceship in the middle of pictures of dogs and monkeys.
In the 1940s, an Americanexplorer named Paul Kosok suggested that the drawings are a chronicle –(记录) of the movement ofthe stars and planets. _____ (48) Later, an astronomer tested his theo-ry witha computer, but he couldn&39;t find any relation between the lines and movementsin space.
Another explanation is thatthe lines may have been made for religious reasons. British researcher TonyMorrison investigated the customs of people in the Andes Mountainand learned that they some-times pray by the side of the road. It&39;s possiblethat in the past, the lines of Nazca were created for a similarpurpose.____(49) But the local people have never constructed anything this big.
Recently, two otherscientists, David Johnson and Steve Mabee, have speculated that lines couldhave been related to water. Nazca is one of the driest places in the world andreceives only 50px of rain every year. While Johnson was searching for ancientwater sources in the area, he noticed that some waterways built ancient peoplewere connected with the lines. Johnson believes that the Nazca lines are agiant map of the underground water in the area. ____ (50)

参考答案

问题 1 答案解析:

??E;句意:从地面上,它像是地球背上的划痕。本处后一句“But from high above,these marks are huge imagesof birds,fish,seashells,all beautifully carved intothe earth.”描述的是从空中看“纳斯卡线”的情景,but表示转折。而E项的内容说明的是从地面上看“纳斯卡线”的情景,两句话正好形成对照,且文意非常通顺,所以本题选E??



问题 2 答案解析:B

??句意:瑞士作家艾里希·冯·达尼肯写道:“纳斯卡线被设计作为UFO的降落地点。”本处后一句“However,it would probably be verytricky to Iand a spaceship in the middle of pic-tures of dogs and monkeys.”有关键词land a spaceship,而与B项内容的landing place fot UFOs形成呼应,所以本题选B??



问题 3 答案解析:F

??句意:他称纳斯卡为“世界上最大的天文书”。本处前一句“In the 1940s,an American explorer namedPaul Kosok suggested that the drawings are a chronicle of the movement of thestars and planets.”说明Paul Kosok认为纳斯卡线是星与星球运转的记录,而本处后一句“later,an astronomer tested histheory with a computer”讲述有天文学家验证他的理论。本处上下文都在讲Paul Kosok的观点,而将F项内容补入后,前后文意清晰,所以本题选F。??



问题 4 答案解析:D

??句意:最大的图块可能曾是某些特别仪式的地点。本段第一句“…the lines may have beenmade for religious reasons”说明纳斯卡线可能与宗教有关系,而下一句“Tony Morrison investigated_and learned that they sometimes pray by the side of the road”讲述Tony Morrison发现当地人都在路边祈祷的习俗,D项的关键词ceremonles与religious rea-sons与pray呼应,所以本题选D。??



问题 5 答案解析:A

??句意:其他科学家如今正搜寻证据来证明这个说法。最后一段围绕着David Johnson和Steve Mabee两位科学家的观点展开论述,而A项的内容而说明其他科学家对这二人观点的态度是他们在找证据来支持这个观点。故本题选A。??
