3、maginations for centuries. It's the most enigmatic pre-historic monument on earth.What makes the structure at Stonehenge unique is the fact that for the first time they're shaping stones on a massive scale.Dating back as far as 2950 B.C., theories about who built Stonehenge have included the
4、 druids and the Greeks. Speculation as to its purpose, range from astronomy to a UFO landing site.Now a ruin with many of the original stones fallen or removed, this site still attracts nearly five thousand tourists everyday.Around the same time as the ancient Egyptians were building the pyramids, t
5、he first stones arrived here at Stonehenge. The mystery of this stone is that they are only found in the Brescelly Mountains in south Wales, nearly 150 miles away.It was a huge job to transport these stones from Wales, because originally there were about 80 of them here at Stonehenge weighing up to
6、four tons each. Now, if I got in my car it would take me about 5 hours to drive all the way to Wales. But to those people, it would've been an enormous distance.The stones were brought by boat from the mountains and pulled from the coast by sledge to the site.I think, you need a minimum of about
7、 150 people, simply to move on of these massive forty-ton stones.Getting the stones to the site was an amazing feat, but building Stonehenge was much more complex. It is not just simply one stone piled on top of another, they're joined together, this hole in the section here that's been poun
8、ded out using stone hammers, and that originally fitted on top of that protruding knob on top of that stone.After nearly 5,000 years Stonehenge is still standing. We now know how it was built. The question "why" is a bit more problematic. Twenty first century followers of ancient mystical
9、beliefs are sure that Stonehenge has a connection with the summer and winter solstices. "As a druid, as a priest of the land, I feel Stonehenge to be one of the key sacred temples in the world. Stonehenge evokes in us a connection between some deep ancestral intuitive soul and the power of natu
10、re around us."Nature may well know all the answers, but science has yet to prove its theories. It seems Stonehenge isn't ready to reveal all its secrets just yet.巨石阵古老的巨石阵屹立在英格兰索尔兹伯里平原上,数世纪以来,它的丰姿赋予了我们丰富的想象力。它是地球上最神秘的史前遗迹。巨石阵是独一无二的,因为它是首次出现的最大规模巨石。究竟是谁建造了巨石阵?这要追溯到公元前2950年,有两种说法:一种认为是特鲁伊特教的教
11、徒,另一种说法则认为是希腊人。有关巨石阵作用的推测也是众说纷纭,上至天文学意义,下至不明飞行体的降落点,尚无定论。现在,尽管很多巨石已经倒塌,或给搬走,但是这古迹仍然每天吸引着近五千名游客观光。差不多就在古埃及人建造金字塔的时候,巨石阵的第一批石头被运达英格兰索尔兹伯里平原。巨石的神秘之处在于,它只能从南威尔士的普雷西山脉取材,而那里位于150英里开外。从威尔士搬运石材是个艰巨的工作,因为最初的巨石阵中约有80多块巨石,每块重达4吨。现在如果从巨石阵开车去威尔士,全程需要大概5小时。可对于古人来说,这实在是条遥遥长路。巨石从大山里开采出来后,先用船只运抵海岸,然后再利用撬具从海岸运到现在的地址
12、。仅仅是搬运这些重达四十吨的巨石,就需要大约150人。能把些巨石运送到这里已是惊人之举。但建造巨石阵所花费的工夫更是复杂。因为巨石并不是简单地堆叠在一起,而是被巧妙地连接在一起:石块上这一部分的孔眼是用石锤开出来的,它原来刚好可以套住顶上另一块巨石的石楦。经历了五千年的风风雨雨,巨石仍然屹立不倒。现在我们已经知道它是如何建成的了。但问题是,为什么要建造这样一个巨石阵呢?古代密教的21世纪追随者则确信不疑:巨石阵与夏至、冬至日有关。“身为特鲁伊特信徒以及这片土地的神职者,我认为巨石阵是世上最重要的圣殿之一。它唤醒我们,在深藏的祖传直觉精神与大自然力量之间是有着某种联系的。”大自然也许知道一切答案
13、,但理论有待于用科学去进一步考证。看来巨石阵似乎还不愿意将神秘面纱全部揭开哩。2网站连接/ermace/sth/sth.html/ermace/sth/sth.html/earthmysteries/EMStonehenge.html.uk/Section 2 Listening and speaking1Listening第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项,并标在试

41、GE On May 3, 2002, archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC. When he died, the man was about 40 years old. He was buried on his left side with his face to the north. From tests on his teeth, it is certain that he spent his youth in central Europe, perhaps German
42、y. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior.Some of the objects found in the grave give us an idea of how he was dressed when he was buried.There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife in his breast. The most amazing
43、find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay; tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and dozens of arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the ma
44、n could work metal. Everything found in the man's grave was probably given to him for his use in the next life. It was all that a person would need to survive -clothing, tools, weapons pottery and spare materials to make new tools.The discovery is important for a variety of reasons. His grave is
45、 the richest of any found from that period. This was a time when the first metals were brought to Britain, and this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2, 470 BC).He was important for another reason: he was buried three miles from Stoneheng
46、e at the time when the great stones were being brought to Salisbury to build it. Archaeologists tend to believe that this man was a member of a powerful class who may well have organized the construction of Stonehenge. For these reasons, this man has been called the King of Stonehenge. Stonehenge wa
47、s begun around 3, 000 BC. In about 2, 300 BC the huge stone circle were built. The biggest stones weigh approximately 20 tons and came from a place not very far. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing four tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a
48、 distance of 380-kilometres. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines, and lorries. It is possible that the King of Stonehenge was linked to the stones: he may have had a hand in planning the monument; or in helping transport
49、 and pull up the stones. Perhaps the most important fact about the King of Stonehenge is that his homeland was somewhere in Central Europe. 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 fr
50、om the Stone Age to the Bronze Age. At first most tools were made of stone. In the Bronze Age, they could make various metals, such as copper and bronze, but no iron. Iron came later, in what was called the Iron Age.At first it was thought that it was through war and armed conflict, but it is now be
51、lieved to have happened through trade and cultural links. The King of Stonehenge came with the skills to make metal, and that would have been of high statue in the eyes of local people. Some of the artefacts in his grave came from remote places. It has been proven that the copper knives came from pl
52、aces as distant as Spain and western France. The gold jewellery came from Europe too. 巨石王在2002年5月3日,英国的考古学家发现了一个男人的墓穴,该墓穴可以追溯到公元前2300年左右。他死的时候大约40岁。他被埋葬时躺在左侧面向北方。从他的牙齿测试判断,毫无疑问, 他在中欧度过他青年时期, 也许在德国。和他一起埋葬的是猎人或战士的工具。一些在墓穴中发现的物体让我们得知他被埋葬时的穿着。有一个骨头别针可能是来自一件象一件皮外套那样的衣服。他的胸前佩带一把铜刀,最令人惊异的发现是二个金色的耳环。这些发现使得他
53、不同寻常。 距他头部几厘米处有两个陶罐,制造箭用的工具和材料,以及用来打猎的弓箭和一把铜制小刀。在它们的旁边放着一块垫东西的石头,这个人有可能在上面锻造金属。在这个人的墓穴中发现的每一件东西可能是给他下辈子使用。所有的这些都是一个人生存所必须的- 衣服,工具,武器,陶器和制造新工具的其它材料。这些发现很重要是有一些原因的。他的墓穴是那个时期发现的最富有的。这个时代金属刚被传到英国,而且和这个男人一起埋葬的二个金耳环是在英国发现的迄今最古老的黄金 。 ( 追溯到公元前2470年)他之所以重要的另外一个原因是他被葬在离巨石林三英里远,当时那些石头正被运往索尔兹伯里来建造。考古学家认为这男人来自有权
54、势的阶级,他很可能参与了巨石林的建造。因为这些原因,这个男人被称为巨石林王。 巨石林在约公元前3000年开始动工兴建。 在约公元前2300年巨石林圆周被建。 最大的重20吨的石头来自一个不很远的地方。但是较小的四吨重的胆矾巨石,来自威尔斯西部。至于这些胆矾巨石是如何辗转380公里来到此处,至今仍是个谜。 当时的人们在没有现代建筑机器的情况下如何建造巨石林也是一个谜。 很可能巨石王与这些巨石有关:他可能参与策划建立这个纪念碑或者帮助运输和竖起巨石也许最重要的有关巨石林王的事实是他的故乡在中欧。 他是那些将欧洲大陆的文化和新技术带到英国的人们中的一员。就技术发展而言,人们正从石器时代过度到青铜器时
55、代。最初大多数的工具是用石头做的。在青铜器时代,他们可以制造各种不同的金属, 像铜和青铜, 但是没有铁。后来在铁器时代才有铁。人们起先认为巨石林是战争和武装冲突的结果,但是现在人们认为和贸易文化有关。巨石王是随着金属制造技术而产生的,在当地居民眼中具有很高的地位。 他墓穴里的一些葬品来自遥远的地方。现已证明铜刀来自西班牙和法国西部,金色的珠宝也来自欧洲。 1.dating back to/from 始于,起源于,追溯到;此短语多用于一般现在时态中This castle dates from the 14th century.这座城堡建于14世纪。Our partnership dates ba
