问题 单项选择题

I watched as Dr. Ian Stead, the archaeologist in charge of the excavation, began carefully removing the peat with a clay modelling tool. X-rays taken through the box while it was at the hospital revealed ribs, backbone, arm bones and a skull (apparently with fractures). However, the bones showed up only faintly because acid in the peat had removed minerals from them.
Using the X-rays, Stead started on what he thought might be a leg. By his side was Professor Frank Oldfield, of Liverpool University, an expert on peat who could identify vegetation from stems only a fraction of an inch long. "Similar bodies found in bogs in Denmark show signs of a violent death," Stead said. "It is essential for us to be able to distinguish between the plant fibres in peat and clothing or a piece of rope which might have been used to hang him."
As Stead continued his gentle probing, a brown leathery limb began to materialize amidst the peat; but not until most of it was exposed could he and Robert Connolly, a physical anthropologist at Liverpool University, decide that it was an arm. Beside it was a small piece of animal fur — perhaps the remains of clothing.
Following the forearm down into the peat, Stead found a brown shiny object and then, close by, two more. Seen under a magnifying glass, he suddenly realized they were fingernails— "beautifully manicured and without a scratch on them," he said. "Most people at this time in the Iron Age were farmers; but with fingernails like that, this person can’t have been. He might have been a priest or an aristocrat." Especially delicate work was required to reveal the head. On the third day, curly sideburns appeared and, shortly afterwards, a moustache. At first it seemed that the man had been balding but gradually he was seen to have close-cropped hair, about an inch or two long.
"This information about his hairstyle is unique. We have no other information about what Britons looked like before the Roman invasion except for three small plaques showing Celts with drooping moustaches and shaven chins."
The crucial clue showing how the man died had already been revealed, close to his neck, but it looked just like another innocent heather root. It was not recognized until two days later, when Margaret McCord, a senior conservation officer, found the same root at the back of his neck and, cleaning it carefully, saw its twisted texture. "He’s been garr0tted." She declared. The root was a length of twisted sinew, the thickness of a p string. A slip knot at the back shows how it was tightened round the neck.
"A large discoloration on the left shoulder suggests a bruise and possibly a violent struggle," Stead said.

The researchers suspected the man had met a violent death because______.

A.(A) he was still wearing clothes

B.(B) similar bodies had been found elsewhere

C.(C) there were traces of a hanging rope in the peat

D.(D) he hadn’t been buried in a coffin

答案

参考答案:B

解析: 这是道细节题。解题的句子是第二段的“Similar bodies found in bogs in Denmark show signs of a violent death,”Stead said.在丹麦也发现相似的尸体,尸体显示了暴力死亡的痕迹.可以看出选B。B的意思是到处都能找到尸体。

阅读潘碧秀的《流泪的滕王阁》,完成下面每个题目。

       江畔小舟、轻摇的芦苇、南来聚拢的风……赣江上一览无余,视野里找不到期待的身影。

       我在滕王阁的一隅,独想王勃。

       游人脆脆的思绪如牵强的秋风,薄薄地依偎在滕王阁穿越时空的坚强里。站在清冷的滕王阁上,睁眼闭眼间全是王勃清瘦忧郁的神情。斜阳拥抱着欲泣的滕王阁,阁影斜斜地躺在江水里荡漾。帝王君子犹不见,槛外长江空自流。寂寞的阁上,觥筹交错的场景不复存在,诗弦管乐也只是附和。我坐在阁的阶梯上独自听江的声音;江波的皱褶里藏着绝代的才子王勃。

        阁的忧伤无声息地让我追随。每一寸楼板、每一抹丹朱都在我的心弦上颤动。想为流泪的滕王阁续一首诗,诗里面是伤痕累累的王勃。流泪的滕王阁日日孤寂地走入我梦中,独自徘徊复徘徊。我找不到王勃的诗句,无数醒着的黑暗的夜里,枕着阁影到天明。

       有人说:所有的风景都会拒绝一部分人,偏爱一部分人;所有人,生来都会属于不同风景。在朝堂上得不到肯定的滕王,一再遭遣受贬,然而层层不得意却抹不掉他悠游于世、歌舞人生的脾性。贬到赣江边任小刺史,他仍意兴遄飞地要为自己建一座阁“拍檀板唱歌,举金樽喝酒”,吸引文人才子登临放歌。那个仲秋的日子,王勃的“独角戏”正上演着。他深望着水天相接的江面,感慨人生如江面枝柯,沉浮复沉浮,一腔激情和渴望却在纸上无羁地飘洒,洋洋一派文章,力透纸背的全是对生活的向往。有人说“厚积”是为了“厚发”,王勃客居剑南数年,终有了其巅峰之作。滕王阁只不过是显其巅峰昂然之姿的一种凭借罢了。此时的长安,或许已将王勃淡忘得一干二净。谁会在抚筝时,思绪在筝上游移间,想起王勃?如今,赣江畔的孤鹜年年此时都要背起王勃馈赠给它们的礼物一上一下翩翩地飞,托起无限秋水长天的风情。

      “物是人非事事休”,游人仍在阁上徘徊留连,眺望阁外水云间,心似江水茫茫,欲拍栏干。浅云灰灰地衬着阁,如一双饱蓄泪水的眼睑。

       扁舟载着一截悠悠的阁影,忧郁地前行,涌起的江浪层层间依稀可见当年王勃的风姿。这个自幼饱读诗书、贯通九经的青年,行于线装书中陶陶然的青年,瑟缩在蜀地的乡居里,不再想读书之外的事情。蜀地去长安已遥遥又遥矣。无人识君,只有在迷惘中放纵文字:《蜀中九日》《盛泉宴》……“每有一文,海内惊瞻”(杨炯语)。人生有许多门,可其中一些门只对一些人是永远敞开的;不要试图去敲门,去敲人生遗憾的门。王勃若一心为文,历史也许会重新改写吧。可惜,王勃在剑南之地逍遥了三年,终究不甘寂寞,踌躇北上,到河南任参军。书生之迂,终惹大祸,龙颜大怒,险丢小命。人生沉浮反复,王勃心冷了。

      “一片阁/躲在云层下/疲倦和黄昏的鸟一样/面对江水恸哭。”江水缓缓流,终有温柔得叫人落泪的时候。一介书生咬文嚼字,终有让人品错味的时候。该张皇,迷惘,失落,还是愤懑?毕竟人生不是“数点扁舟向斜阳”那样诗意、简单而又直观。——人无语,惟有惆怅地醉去。滕王阁不在出产帝王将相的长安,站在这玲珑典雅的阁上,赣江无限风情一览无余,王勃的梦魂可以与阁相依偎至永远了。

       昆德拉说:生活是棵长满可能的树。王勃在客居剑南的日子里,也许模拟了日后的种种可能,却没料到人生最绝望的一种可能就立在水中候着。

       王勃如断线的纸鸢一头栽进江里去了,灵魂可依附在了江中鱼儿身上?想他经行处会不会开出一江的花来,让鱼儿也欣喜,让鱼儿也惆怅。

       斜阳已成余辉,阁上人去,鸟去,空留一片寂寥。                         (选自《散文》2003年第10期)
