The Iceman

On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy.High
up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height(10,499 feet,or 3,200
meters),the ice is usually peiianerIt,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition , except for a wound in the
head.There was still skin on the hones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man?How ahd when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I,
since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,who
had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who
rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old.
Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was proba-
bly a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a
different story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in
his skin,but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound,and not from
the wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have
been part of a larger war,or he might have been fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the
times he lived in.We may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to
the history of those distant times.
选项 The body of the Iceman was found in the mountains mainly because______.A:he was lying on the iceB:he was just on a mountain passC:the melted ice made him visible D:two Germans were climbing the mountains
答案C
解析短文第一段最后一句提到是融化的冰将他暴露了出来，因此C项正确。 短文第二段开头提到它面朝下，除了头部有伤外，骨架完好。由此推断，冰人可能死于 头部的伤，因此答案是B。 选项A“他是一战时期的士兵”，选项B“他是一位瑞士妇女失踪多年的父亲”和选项C “他大约出生在一千年前”在文中第三段可以找到，而选项D“他来自意大利”在文章中没有出 现。采用排除法得出答案为D。 选项B“头后部有伤口”是事实而非推论；选项C“皮肤上的小孔导致他的死亡”不符合 事实；选项D“他的肩膀被箭头刺伤”是事实而非推论；选项A“有可能参与过战斗”是推论。因 此选A。 短文第四段中“bandits”的意思是“强盗”。选项A“猎人”；选项B“射击手”；选项C“强 盗”；选项D“士兵”。因此选C。 第三篇 短文讲的是英国单人帆船手Ellen MacArthur是如何取得成功的。
