Unit 5 The power of nature.阅读理解(建议用时16)A2017长沙一模Evidence of violent storms that destroyed a lost town known as Britains Atlantis has been uncovered. The finds were uncovered off the coast of Dunwich, Suffolka small village which in the 11th century was one of the largest towns in England.The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea.Researchers said sediment (沉积物) gathered from the cliffs independently proved the historical record.“They were like the south coast storms of 2013, at least once a year for decades，” Professor David Sear, of the University of Southampton, said.The threeyear research on Dunwich has been funded by Touching the Tide, a 900,000 Heritage Lottery Fund plan to explore the changing Suffolk coast.A diver used ultrasound (超声波) to “illuminate” findings on the seabed, and the marshes (沼泽) and eroding cliffs were surveyed.“It offers a marvelous history of climate change and coastal erosion，” said Prof. Sear with regard to the findings.In the 11th century, Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England, but now has about 120 residents.Two great storms in 1286 and 1326 resulted in the loss of its harbour and started its decline. Prof. Sear said analysis showed how people gave up on Dunwich after 1338, when another great storm choked up the port for good, and food production declined. “Sediment gathered from the cliffs，” he said, “independently confirmed the sequences of storms recorded in the historical record.”The underwater research has been carried out using acoustic (声音的) imaging technology, and has unearthed a series of buildings. We found the ruins of about four churches and weve also found ruins of what we think was a toll house. Weve also found shipwrecks (沉船), which no ones known before.A dig in 2015 discovered evidence of Dunwichs prehistoric origins, as well as evidence that it was a prosperous Saxon port, prior to its rapid growth following the Norman invasion.Bill Jenman, from Touching the Tide, said，“We found loads of pottery, a lot more than weve found before, sort of High Medievalthe peak of the wealth of Dunwich. We know it was a fairly major town in the AngloSaxon period.”篇章导读：本文讲述了研究人员发现了英国一个衰落的小镇“Dunwich”被猛烈的暴风雨摧毁的新证据。1Evidence shows that Dunwich declined in history due to_.Athe rise of sea levelBsediment from the cliffCthe Norman invasionDa series of storms答案：D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea”可知，这个小镇是被暴风雨摧毁的。2What can be learned from the text about Dunwichs present condition?AIt is completely below the sea.BIt still exists with about 120 residents.CIt is still hit by storms every year.DIt is still an important port in England.答案：B细节理解题。根据第八段中的“In the 11th century, Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England, but now has about 120 residents”可知，此地现在只有大约120名居民。故答案为B。3With the help of modern equipment, the researchers have found all the following things underwater EXCEPT _.Ashipwrecks unknown beforeBruins of churches and other buildingsCthe seabed that was like a busy harbourDlots of pottery dating back to the AngloSaxon period答案：D细节理解题。根据最后三段的内容可知，A、B、C三项均属实，只有选项D中的“AngloSaxon period.”不正确。4From the discoveries, we can conclude that _.ADunwich was thoroughly ruined by the Norman invadersBno one believed those ships could have sunk at DunwichCDunwich was a prosperous town before its declineDno historical records about Dunwich were kept after 1338答案：C推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“We know it was a fairly major town in the AngloSaxon period.”可推知，在衰落之前，它是一个繁荣的城镇。1uncover vt. 发现2historical adj.
