OG12-3




         Archaeology as a profession faces two major
problems. First, it is the poorest of the poor.
Only paltry sums are available for excavating and
even less is available for publishing the results

(5)and preserving the sites once excavated. Yet

archaeologists deal with priceless objects every day.
Second, there is the problem of illegal excavation,
resulting in museum-quality pieces being sold to the
highest bidder.

(10)      I would like to make an outrageous

suggestion that would at one stroke provide
funds for archaeology and reduce the amount
of illegal digging. I would propose that scientific
archaeological expeditions and governmental

(15) authorities sell excavated artifacts on the open
market. Such sales would provide substantial
funds for the excavation and preservation of
archaeological sites and the publication of results.
At the same time, they would break the illegal

(20) excavator's grip on the market, thereby decreasing
the inducement to engage in illegal activities.

               You might object that professionals excavate to
acquire knowledge, not money. Moreover, ancient
artifacts are part of our global cultural heritage,

(25) which should be available for all to appreciate, not
sold to the highest bidder. I agree. Sell nothing that
has unique artistic merit or scientific value. But,
you might reply, everything that comes out of the
ground has scientific value. Here we part company.

(30) Theoretically, you may be correct in claiming
that every artifact has potential scientific value.
Practically, you are wrong.

            I refer to the thousands of pottery vessels and
ancient lamps that are essentially duplicates of

(35) one another. In one small excavation in Cyprus,
archaeologists recently uncovered 2,000 virtually
indistinguishable small jugs in a single courtyard.
Even precious royal seal impressions known as
I'melekh handles have been found in abundance

(40) —more than 4,000 examples so far.

         The basements of museums are simply not
large enough to store the artifacts that are likely
to be discovered in the future. There is not enough
money even to catalog the finds; as a result, they

(45) cannot be found again and become as inaccessible
as if they had never been discovered. Indeed, with
the help of a computer, sold artifacts could be more
accessible than are the pieces stored in bulging
museum basements. Prior to sale, each could be

(50) photographed and the list of the purchasers could
be maintained on the computer. A purchaser could
even be required to agree to return the piece if it
should become needed for scientific purposes.
It would be unrealistic to suggest that illegal

(55) digging would stop if artifacts were sold on the
open market. But the demand for the clandestine
product would be substantially reduced. Who would
want an unmarked pot when another was available
whose provenance was known, and that was dated

(60) stratigraphically by the professional archaeologist
who excavated it?

说明由于饭饭考虑不周，空间不是很充足，此次只能贴题目，题目解释请看童鞋们自己手中的OG吧~下次开始贴继续贴上解释~
9.The primary purpose of the passage is to propose
(A)an alternative to museum display of artifacts
(B)a way to curb illegal digging while benefiting the
archaeological profession
(C)a way to distinguish artifacts with scientific value
from those that have no such value
(D)the governmental regulation of archaeological
sites
(E)a new system for cataloging duplicate artifacts

10.The author implies that all of the following statements
about duplicate artifacts are true EXCEPT
(A)a market for such artifacts already exists
(B)such artifacts seldom have scientific value
(C)there is likely to be a continuing supply of such
artifacts
(D)museums are well supplied with examples of
such artifacts
(E)such artifacts frequently exceed in quality those
already cataloged in museum collections

11.Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as
a disadvantage of storing artifacts in museum
basements?
(A)Museum officials rarely allow scholars access to
such artifacts.
(B)Space that could be better used for display is
taken up for storage.
(C)Artifacts discovered in one excavation often
become separated from each other.
(D)Such artifacts are often damaged by variations
in temperature and humidity.
(E)Such artifacts often remain uncataloged and
thus cannot be located once they are put in
storage.

我觉得第二篇文章不是新老观点的对比，因为作者陈述的是一个旧的事实和新的事实，然后在举例说明，所以是一个现象解释的题目。如果认为是新老观点的话，那么最后一道题很容易做错。-- by 会员 欧小假 (2012/2/27 21:59:17)
