words comes from Greek and means more or less the study of old things So it is really a part of the study of history However most historians use paper evidence such as letters paintings and photographs but archaeologists 考古学家 learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago Normally thesethesethesethese are the hard materials that don t break down or disappear very quickly things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history normally the bacteria in the air eat away at soft materials like bodies clothes and things made of wood Occasionally things are different In 1984 two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss in the north of England Abog is a very wet area of earth with a lot of plants growing in it It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out a human foot Naturally the men called the police who then found the rest of the body Was it a case of murder Possibly buy it was a death nearly two thousand years old The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain Despite being so old this body had skin muscles hair and internal organs the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man s stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal Why was this man so well preserved It was because he was in a very watery environment safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live Also the water in the bog was very acidic The acid preserved the man s skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes How did he die Understandably archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called Lindow Man His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn t done heavy manual work in this life he could have been a rich man They found that he hadn t died by accident The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods 45 Which language does the word a a a archaeologyrchaeologyrchaeologyrchaeology come from A French B GreekC Roman D German 46 The word these in the first paragraph refers to A lettersB photographsC paintingsD objects 47 Which of the following helped to preserve Lindow Man A Ice and low temperatureB Bacteria and oxygen C Soil and energyD Acid and water 48 According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE A Lindow Man was named after the person who first found him B Historians usually use paper evidence while archaeologists use hard evidence C Lindow Man was found by two archaeologists in the south of England D Lindow Man was good at manual work 49 Which is the best title for the passage A What Is Archaeology B Archaeology and History C An Amazing Archaeological Discovery D The Death of Lindow Man What is the nature of the scientific attitude the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics biology chemistry geology engineering medicine or any other science Weall know that science plays an important role in our societies However many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science The first aspect is the application of the machines products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work What are these special methods of thinking and acting First of all it seems that a successful scientist is curious he wants to find out how and why the universe works He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected Moreover he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves He is a good observer accurate patient and objective 客观的 and uses the facts he observes to the fullest For example trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum 光谱 He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available He rejects authority as the only basis for truth Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively Furthermore he does notreadily accept his own idea since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation Lastly he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete Furthermore he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts 50 Many people believe that science helps society to progress through A knowledge only B more than one aspect C technology only D the use of machines 51 Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE A He doesn t find confidence and pleasure in work B He is interested in problems that are explained C He makes efforts to investigate potential connections D He looks for new ways of acting 52 According to the passage a successful scientist would NOT A easily believe in unchecked statements B easily criticize others research work C always use his imagination in work D always use evidence from observation 53 Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses completeB objectiveC complicatedD accurate 54 What does the passage mainly discuss A Application of technology B Progress in modem society C Scientists ways of thinking and acting D How to become a successful scientist D Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world Tothis end we walk the dog play golf go fishing sit in the garden drink outside rather than inside the pub have a picnic live in the suburbs go to the seaside buy a weekend place in the country The most popular free time activity in Britain is going for a walk And when joggers 慢跑者 jog they don t run the streets Every one of them automatically heads to the park or the river It is my firm belief that not only do we all need nature but we all seek nature whether we know we are doing so or not But despite this our children are growing up nature deprived 丧失 I spent my boyhood climbing trees These days children are robbed of these ancient freedoms due to problems like crime traffic the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children that is to say things that can be bought rather than things that can be found The truth is to be found elsewhere Astudy in the US families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD 多动症 Those whose housing had more natural views showed an improvement of 19 those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4 Astudy in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground AUS study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment the entire school would do better in studies Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment In playgrounds children create a hierarchy 等级 based on physical abilities with the tough ones taking the lead But when a grassy area was planted with bushes the children got much more into fantasy play and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity Most bullying 恃强凌弱 is found in schools where there is a tarmac 柏油碎石 playground the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School with its hard tarmac where I used to hang about in corners dreaming about wildlife But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces for health and safety reasons for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage So instead the damage is done to the children themselves not to their bodies but to their souls One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs Yetone study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children However we spend money on drugs rather than on green places The life of old people is much better when they have access to nature The most important for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality In wider and more difficult areas of life there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world Dr William Bird researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds states in his study Anatural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its process helps reduce anger and behavior that people might regret later Wild places need encouraging for this reason no matter how small their contribution Wetend to think human
