17、endent Gerald Lamhourne had a request from the British Museums Prehistoric department to force his magnifying glass on a mystery somewhat outside my usual beat. This was not a question of Whodunit, but Who Was lt. The blunt instruments, he pored over were the antlers of red deer, dated by radio-carb
18、on examination as being up to 5,000 years old. They were used as mining picks by Neolithic man to hack flints and chalk, and the fingerprints he was looking for were of our remote ancestors who had last wielded them.The antlers were unearthed in July during the British Museums five-year-long excavat
19、ion at Grimes Graves. near Therford, Norfolk, a 93 acre site containing more than 600 vertical shafts in the chalk some 40 feet deep. From artifacts found in many parts of Britain it is evident that flint was extensively used by Neolithic man as he slowly learned how to farm land in the period from
20、3, 000 to 1, 500 B. C.Flint was especially used for ax-heads to clear forests for agriculture, and the quality of the flint on the Norfolk site suggests that the miners there were kept busy with many orders.What excited Mr. CT. Sieveking, the museums deputy director of the excavations, was the dried
21、 mud still sticking to some of them. “Our deduction is that the miners coated the base of the antlers with mud so that they could get a better grip,“ he says. “The exciting possibility was that fingerprints left in this mud might at last identify as individuals as people who have left few relics, wh
22、o could not read or write, but who may have had much more intelligence than had been supposed in the past.“Chief Superintendent Lambourne, who had “assisted“ the British Museum by taking the fingerprints of a 4, 000-year-old Egyptian mummy, spent two hours last week examining about 50 antlers. On so
23、me he found minute marks indicating a human hand-that part of the hand just below the fingers where most pressure would be brought to bear the wielding of a pick.After 25 years specialization in the Yards fingerprints department, Chief Superintendent Lambourne knows all about ridge structures-techni
24、cally known as the “tri-radiate section“.It was his identification of that part of the hand that helped to incriminate some of the Great Train Robbers. In 1995 he discovered similar handprints on a bloodstained tee-maker on a golf-course where a woman had been brutally murdered. They eventually led
25、to the killer, after 4, 065 handprints had been taken.Chief Superintendent Lamboure had agreed to visit the Norfolk site during further excavations next summer, when it is hoped that further hand-marked antlers will come to light, But he is cautious about the historic significance of his findings.“F
26、ingerprints and handprints are unique to each individual but they can tell nothing about the age, physical characteristics, even sex of the person who left them,“ he says. “Even the finger prints of gorilla could be mistaken for those of a man. But if a number of imprinted antlers are recovered from
27、 given shafts on this site I could at least determine which antlers were handled by the same man, and from there might be deduced the number of miners employed in a team.“As an indication of intelligence I might determine which way up the miners held the antlers and how they wielded them.“To Mr. Sie
28、veking and his museum colleagues, any such findings will be added to their dossier of what might appear to the layman as trivial and unrelated facts but from which might emerge one day an impressive new image of our remote ancestors. (620)（分数：3.00）(1).What was the aim of the investigation referred t
29、o in the passage?（分数：1.00）A.To provide some kind of identification of a few Neolithic met.B.To find out more about the period when the antlers were used.C.To discover more about the purpose of the antlers.D.To learn more about the types of men who used the antlers.(2).What had been the principal use
30、 of the antlers?（分数：1.00）A.To obtain the material for useful tools.B.To prepare the fields for cultivation.C.To help in removing trees and bushes so that land could be cultivated.D.To make many objects useful in everyday life.(3).The idea that mud was applied to the antlers deliberately was _.（分数：1.
31、00）A.the result of an inspired guessB.a possibility based on reasoning from factsC.an obvious conclusionD.a conclusion based on other similar cases五、BTEXT B/B(总题数：5，分数：17.00)Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldie
32、rs, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at ail. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great de
33、al of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries arid rule
34、d over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight fo
35、r you and telling them bow to do it most efficiently-this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done-is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some Way of settling their disputes other than by seeing whi
36、ch side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that side which has killed most has won. And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right. That is what the story of mankind has on
37、 the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets-while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and be
38、having properly to each other in daily life-nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages. But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started. From the point of view of evolution, human beings are very young children indeed, babies
39、, in fact, of a few months old. Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of jellyfish and that kind of creature for a- bout twelve hundred million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years at the out side. These figures are diffic
40、ult to grasp; so let us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the earth as one hundred years; then the whole past of man works out at about one month, and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight hours. So you see there has b
41、een little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better. Taking mans civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future, that is to .say, the whole period between now and when the sun grows too cold to maintain life any longer on the earth, at abo
42、ut one hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much. The past of man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and bullying and gorging and grabbing and hurting. We must not expect even ci
43、vilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else. (668)（分数：4.00）(1).The author says that civilized people should _.（分数：1.00）A.not have any quarrels to settleB.not fight when there are no quarrels to settleC.settle their quarrels witho
44、ut fightingD.settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greatest number of the other side(2).Most people believe that the greatest countries are those that _.（分数：1.00）A.built the highest pillarsB.were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countriesC.were ruled by the grea
45、test number of conquerorsD.won over the greatest number of other countries as conquerors(3).“We must not expect even civilized people not to have done these things.“ in the last paragraph suggests that _.（分数：1.00）A.those who have done any fighting and bullying cannot be considered civilizedB.there i
46、s nothing wrong if civilized people do some fighting and bullyingC.even civilized people have done some fighting and bullyingD.civilized people have never done any fighting and bullying(4).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Those who won the wars should have been trie
47、d as war Criminals instead of being glorified.B.The one who invented the wheel may have helped civilization forward to a greater extent than those generals.C.When the sun grows too cold to maintain life on the earth, people will migrate to other planets.D.Nations and countries should have learnt to
48、behave properly to each other.BTEXT C/BThe conflict between good and evil is a common theme running through the great literature and drama of the world, from the time of ancient Greeks to the present. The principle that conflict is the heart of dramatic action when illustrated by concrete examples, almost always turns up Some aspects of the struggle between good and evil.The idea that there is neither
