Passage 11 (11/63)同OG13 第368页！XDF讲义第52页Passage6问题解决型

觉得错的那个第五题自己是对的 呜呜 明明就是说effect的嘛  求问第五题大家的看法！！谢谢啦！！！

提出问题Archaeology as a profession faces twomajor problems（提出问题）. First, it is the poorest of the poor. Only paltry微不足道的 sums are available for excavating and even less is available forpublishing the results and preserving the sites once excavated. Yet archaeologists deal with priceless objectsevery day. Second, there is the problemof illegal excavation, resulting in museum-quality pieces收藏价值的物品 being sold to the highest bidder指私人收藏者.

提出解决方法：卖文物I would like to make an outrageous愤怒，不合理，奇特，大胆，不道德 (exceeding the limitsof what is usual) suggestion that would at one stroke一步到位 (at one stroke: adv.一笔, 一举) provide funds forarchaeology and reduce the amount of illegal digging. I would propose that scientific archeologicalexpeditions and governmental authorities sell excavated artifacts on the openmarket.（主题句） Such sales would provide substantial funds for the excavationand preservation of archaeological sites and thepublication of results*7. At the same time, they would break the illegalexcavator’s grip控制（=control） on the market, thereby decreasing the inducement to engage inillegal activities.

以下两段提出解决方法的原因一：有些文物价值不高，可以卖

提出的建议的原因You might object that（让步语气，预期反对）professionals excavate to acquire knowledge, not money. Moreover, ancient artifacts are part of our global culturalheritage, which should be available for all to appreciate, not sold to the highest bidder*6C. I agree. Sellnothing that has unique artistic merit or scientific value. But, you might（第二次预期反对） replyeverything that comes out of the ground has scientific value. Here we part company（转折）. Theoretically, you may be correct （让步语气，直接看后半句）in claiming that every artifact has potential scientific value. Practically, you are wrong（转折）.

真正提出原因 原因一：很多I refer to the thousands of pottery vessels and ancient lamps thatare essentially duplicates of oneanother. In one small excavation in Cyprus（一般不会专门在地名上出题）,archaeologists recently uncovered 2,000 virtually indistinguishable small jugsin a single courtyard, Even precious royal seal impressions known as l’melekh handles have been found inabundance—more than 4,000 examples so far.（多个数字同时出现，可以不看）

原因二：博物馆馆藏空间不够The basements地下室 of museums aresimply not large enough to store the artifacts that are likely to be discovered in the future*2C. There is not enough money even to catalogue*3E thefinds; as a result, they cannot be found*3Eagain and become as inaccessible as if they had never been discovered. Indeed（递进语气）, with the help of a computer, sold artifacts could be moreaccessible than are the pieces stored in bulging museum basements. Prior tosale, each could be photographed and the list of the purchasers could bemaintained on the computer. A purchaser could even be required to agree toreturn the piece if it should become needed for scientific purposes.

原因三：可以打击非法挖掘It would be unrealistic to suggest （又一次预期反对）thatillegal digging would stop if artifacts were sold on the open market. But thedemand for the clandestine秘密的 product wouldbe substantially reduced. Who would want an unmarked pot when another wasavailable whose provenance来历，出处 was known,and that was dated stratigraphically (stratigraphy: n.地层学, 地层中的岩石组成) by the professional archaeologist who excavated it?（作了一个比较）

(D) Suchartifacts are often damaged by variations in temperature and humidity.（E）

(B) Artifactsthat are very similar to each otherpresent cataloguing difficulties toarchaeologists.是下一段的内容（不能用非出题段落的内容）

(C) Artifacts that are not uniquelyvaluable, and therefore could be sold, are available in large quantities.

(D) Cyprus is the most important location forunearthing large quantities of salable artifacts.讲例子的目的的时候不能提到例子本身（地名），排除（C）

(E) Illegalsales of duplicate artifacts are wide-spread, particularly on the island of Cyprus.同D（不够深化，太具体）

5.    推断题The author’s argumentconcerning the effect of the official sale of duplicate artifacts on illegalexcavation is based on which of the following assumptions?   A是卖得出去的假设啊 不是影响的假设啊 影响是 还可以收回来研究 所以假设可以用电脑啊！？

(B) The priceof illegally excavated artifacts would rise.

(C) Computers could be used to tracesold artifacts.

(D) Illegalexcavators would be forced to sell only duplicate artifacts.（A）

(B) Anoversupply of salable artifacts will result and the demand for them will fall.

(C) Artifacts that would have beendisplayed in public places will be sold to private collectors.

(D) Illegalexcavators will have an even larger supply of artifacts for resale.（C）

(E)Counterfeiting of artifacts will become more commonplace.

I.      Illegalexcavation would eventually cease completely太绝对. 最后一段说了不能完全的！

(A) I only

(B) III only

(C) I and IIonly

(D) II and IIIonly（B）

(E) I, II, and III
