were the tools of a hunter or warrior. there was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. he carried a copper knife on his breast. the most amazing find was two gold earrings. that would have made him a man of distinction. only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal. his grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in britain (dated to 2470 bc). besides, he was buried three miles from stonehenge. archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of stonehenge. stonehenge was begun around 3000 bc. in about 2300 bc the huge stone circles were built. the biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. but the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west wales. it is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. it is also a mystery how early man was able to construct stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries. he is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the european mainland to britain. in terms of technical development people were going from the stone age to the bronze age and then to the iron age. 36. which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man? a. tools, a bone pin, a bow and a cushion stone b. a copper knife and two gold earrings. c. two pots, arrows and materials to make arrows. d. some chicken and grains. 37. the man buried in the grave might be _ at that time.a. a poor man b. a kind-hearted man c. a rich man d. an ordinary man 38. why is the man buried in the grave called the king of stonehenge ? a. he was buried three miles from stonehenge. b. he had the oldest gold ever found in britain. c. he might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of stonehenge. d. all of the above. 39. what does the third paragraph mainly talk about? a. how stonehenge was built. b. building stonehenge was hard. c. stonehenge was made of big stones. d. it is a mystery how stonehenge was built.40. we can infer that _ . a. how stonehenge was built b. the king of stonehenge was from france c. stonehenge was built through several ages d. stonehenge was built because of warbthreats toour national treasuresj: journalist x: prof xuj: people have always had interests in the past. professor xu, what are the most important dangers to our archaeological treasures?x: they get damaged or lost. its a matter of education. people fail to take the right steps when something is found. fortunately, the government has helped spreading the basic knowledge among the population, telling what is to be done when an archaeological find is made.j: what does that knowledge consist of?x: well, when something is found, construction work must be stopped and the police should be told about the find. that is to make sure that no further damage will be done.j: does it still happen that people do not report things they find?x: yes, indeed. they doubt whether it is necessary to do so. it sometimes happens that a find is not very valuable. they are afraid that they would make scientists come for nothing.j: are there other reasons why people dont report their finds?x: oh, yes. people are afraid that archaeologists may take a real interest in the site and spend many weeks or months digging around at it. that would result in farmers missing the right opportunity to plant crops or construction work to be stopped for a long time. they dont realize that they should not weigh their own business interests against our national history.j: if it is so important to dig things up and collect them, then why are archaeologists worried that other people dig up artifacts and give them to museums or add them to their own private archaeological collections?x: archaeology is a professional discipline. years of training and experience are needed. it is not just about finding things and digging them up. the field work must be done very carefully. of every find there needs to be a written record, to which a photograph must be added. the records must also state exactly what was found, where it was found and when. the outdoor work is followed by work in the lab, cleaning, restoring and identifying each artifact. finally, when all is done, an analysis must be written and published in a magazine or a book.j: are there any other dangers, natural disasters perhaps?x: unfortunately there are treasure hunters: people search for valuable objects, especially jewellery and gold. they are the worst. history does not need to fear nature very much. what has been buried has often been buried well. it is often human digging that causes the loss of valuable materials. it may seem a contradiction, but leaving things as they are would often be the best way of keeping things for the generations to come.41. the interview is probably a conversation between a. mr xu and his wife b. a student and a teacher c. a teacher and a newspaper reporter d. a professor and a farmer42. according to professor xu, there are _ why people do not report finds. a. no reasons b. certain threats c. few dangers d. several reasons43. the reason why some people do not inform the police about archaeological finds is that _ . a. they are afraid of the police b. the government has failed to inform the public c. they think working archaeologists will cause trouble d. they dont have the years of training and experience that are needed44. for most artifacts _ can quite easily see whether they are valuable or not. a. farmers b. the police c. construction workers d. local experts45. in the opinion of professor xu, the greatest danger to our archaeological treasures are _ . a. natural disasters b. farmers and construction workers c. scientists d. treasure hunters c第二节：篇章结构（5小题；10分）

is in the department of child psychiatry (精神病治疗法) at royal manchester childrens hospital in england. doctor rahman led a team that linked depression (沮丧；消沉) in women with lower weight in their babies during the first year of life. 46 the study identified one hundred and sixty of the women, or one in four, as depressed. they had lost interest and pleasure in normal life. they always felt sad or tired. they had problems eating or sleeping. they felt guilty and thought about killing themselves. 47 re-examinations took place at two, six and twelve months of age. the health workers also re-examined the mental health of the mothers. babies whose mothers remained depressed grew less than the babies of the other women. the babies of the depressed mothers were also more likely to get sick with diarrhea (腹泻). the findings appeared in september in archives of general psychiatry(精神病学档案). 48 other studies in south asia have found that depression affects almost twice as many women in developing countries. conditions in poor countries can make it more difficult to care for a baby. doctor rahman says depression can make it even more difficult for a mother to do things such as boil water to kill harmful organisms (微生物). 49 these women visit new mothers for up to a year. the workers offer advice about things
