专题限时训练(三十三)(一)【要点综述】英国法律规定，所有从人类古代居地出土的遗骸，必须被重新掩埋。这一决定意味着科学家们将没有足够的时间研究具有民族文化的遗骨及其他遗物。1．B细节理解题。从文章可以看出，科学家对这项法律不满主要是因为这项法律对科学研究的影响是毁灭性的。2．C细节理解题。根据第三段可知，尽管延长了时间，但是出土的人类遗骸终究还是要被埋回去的。3．D推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句话“TheMinistryofJusticeassuredarchaeologiststwoyearsagothatthelawwastemporary，buthassofarfailedtoreviseit.”可知，尽管TheMinistryofJustice两年前向考古学家保证这项法律是暂时的，但是他们到现在还是没能修改这项法律，所以他们的工作做得不到位。4．D主旨大意题。这项法律的危害在第四段有详细陈述，对于这项法律，反对的是考古学家们，所以他们才是呼吁修改法律的主要对象，这样可以排除其他三项。(二)【要点综述】本文通过一篇短文教我们如何写和冬天有关的文章。1．B细节理解题。短文的第五段“Unseenbythosewhoremainedlockedinsidetheirhomes，warmintheirbeds，Ienjoyedbeingalonewiththebeautyofthewintertime.”说明这里的adventure就
