33、.Now,researchers report that short peopleat least in the pastwere also more likely to die at a younger age than their taller peers.Their study,published in the Journal of Epidemiology(流行病学) and Community Health,found that short bones have something to do with short life for more than 1000 years.The

34、conclusion was based on 490 sets of adult skeletal(骨架的) remains from an archaeological site in northeastern England,dating from the 9th century to about 1850.About 55% of men and 73% of women died before the age of 45,and 39% of men and 56% of women died before age 30.The risk of death before age 30

35、 declined as bone length increased.“This study provides evidence from an archaeological sample that long bone length is connected with age at deaththose with smaller bones tend to die younger,” according to Dr. D.J.Gunnell of the University of Bristol in the UK and colleagues.While it is not clear w

36、hy short stature(身材) might be linked to earlier death,the researchers point out that height is an indicator of childhood nutrition,which may have long-lasting effect on health.“Mechanism(身体结构) for height-mortality(死亡) associations in the past may differ from those today,for example,short stature may

37、 have increased the risk of death in childbirth and this may explain the higher risk of premature(未成熟的) mortality in women,” Gunnel and collegues write.“However,short bones,it would appear,have always been a marker of a short life,” the authors conclude.46.According to the passage,researchers have f

38、ound out all the following except _.A.the reasons why stature might be linked to earlier deathB.short people are more likely to die at a younger ageC.short bones have something to do with short life at least in the pastD.stature has something to do with childhood nutrition答案:A提示:根据第六段开头可知，矮小身材与较早死亡有

39、关，但原因还不清楚。B、C、D三项均是研究者的发现。47.“An indicator” in Paragraph 6 means _.A.a study B.a riskC.a marker D.an age答案:C提示:从原文看出，研究人员指出身高是童年时期营养的indicator，可以推断indicator是指“指示物；标志”，与marker意义接近。48.Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?A.Most people were more likely to die at the ag

40、e of 30 in the past.B.Women were more likely to die at a young age in the past.C.Women with smaller bones were more likely to die younger in the past.D.People with smaller bones were more likely to die younger in the past.答案:A提示:从第四段看出，30岁之前死亡的男性占39%、女性占56%，并不能说明大多数人在30岁更可能死亡。从第四段的死亡比例看出，过去女性比男性更可能在

41、较小的年龄死亡，所以B项正确；文章主题是过去骨架小的人更易较早死亡，所以C、D两项正确。49.Short stature may be caused by _.A.high blood pressureB.heart diseaseC.some illnessesD.less childhood nutrition答案:D提示:根据第六段可知，身高是童年时期营养的一个标志，说明童年时营养不良会导致身材矮小。其他三项都是矮小身材所带来的后果。50.The topic in this passage is probably connected with _.A.space medicine B.s

42、ocial medicineC.sports medicine D.industrial medicine答案:B提示:本文既涉及医学，又涉及考古研究，所以应是与“社会医学”有关。A项指“太空医学”；C项指“运动医学”；D项指“工业医学”。 BWhen a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm,historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past.The shi

44、 wateris really a product of the last 50 years.The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment.Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸),underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5000-year-old boats in the Mediterra

45、nean Sea.Underwater archaeology can provide facts about the past.In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6000 years.There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of peoples way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times.Underwater archaeologists want t

46、o study these objects to add to the worlds knowledge of history,but they have to fight two enemies.One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors.Once sold,these objects are lost to experts.The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机) often used to repair

47、 ports.These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud.By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past,archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.51.Which of the following is probably true accor

48、ding to the passage?A.More than 6000 years ago,people began to make boats or ships.B.There are laws to protect underwater treasures in every country.C.The Swedish ship which sank in 1628 was discovered in the Mediterranean Sea.D.Archaeologists have even discovered some 5000-year-old Swedish boats in

49、 the Mediterranean Sea.答案:A提示:根据第三段第一句话看出，世界各地的古老港口都有过去6000年中的沉船，由此推断，人们6000多年前就开始造船了。文章结尾讲到考古学家希望得到法律的帮助，以保护水下宝藏，说明这方面的法律还没有或不健全，因此B项错误；根据文章开头可知，这艘瑞典古船是在斯德哥尔摩港发现的，而不是在地中海，所以C项错误；从第二段结尾可知，考古学家还在地中海发现了距今5000多年前的船只，但并没有说明是瑞典船只，所以D项错误。52.What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?A.To provide b

50、ackground information of the topic.B.To attract readers attention to the topic.C.To use an example to support the topic.D.To offer basic knowledge of the topic.答案:B提示:第一段指出1628年沉没的瑞典船只在斯德哥尔摩港口被找到了，向世人呈现了400年前人们的生活画面，从而引出了海底考古。因此第一段是为了吸引读者对水下考古的注意力。53.The aim of underwater archaeology is to _.A.explo

51、it water bodies B.search for underwater life C.study underwater artifactsD.examine underwater environment答案:C提示:根据短文第二段第一句“Underwater archaeologythe study of ships,aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water”可知，水下考古是研究水下人工制品的。54.Underwater archaeologists are worried bec

52、ause _.A.sea hunters have better diving equipmentB.their knowledge of world history is limitedC.dredging machines cause damage to the portsD.sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research答案:D提示:根据文章第三段第五、第六句话“One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to coll

53、ectors.Once sold,these objects are lost to experts.”可知，一旦水下人工制品被盗宝者卖掉，很难失而复得。55.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To introduce a young branch of learning.B.To discuss the scientists problems.C.To explain peoples way of life in the past.D.To describe the sunken ships.答案:A提示:综观全文，本文主要是讲述水下考古问题，而水下考古是近50年的新兴产物，因此A项正确。CThe Tuareg are an African
