專題限時訓練(三十三)(一)【要點綜述】英國法律規(guī)定，所有從人類古代居地出土的遺骸，必須被重新掩埋。這一決定意味著科學家們將沒有足夠的時間研究具有民族文化的遺骨及其他遺物。1．B細節(jié)理解題。從文章可以看出，科學家對這項法律不滿主要是因為這項法律對科學研究的影響是毀滅性的。2．C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知，盡管延長了時間，但是出土的人類遺骸終究還是要被埋回去的。3．D推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段最后一句話“TheMinistryofJusticeassuredarchaeologiststwoyearsagothatthelawwastemporary，buthassofarfailedtoreviseit.”可知，盡管TheMinistryofJustice兩年前向考古學家保證這項法律是暫時的，但是他們到現(xiàn)在還是沒能修改這項法律，所以他們的工作做得不到位。4．D主旨大意題。這項法律的危害在第四段有詳細陳述，對于這項法律，反對的是考古學家們，所以他們才是呼吁修改法律的主要對象，這樣可以排除其他三項。(二)【要點綜述】本文通過一篇短文教我們?nèi)绾螌懞投煊嘘P(guān)的文章。1．B細節(jié)理解題。短文的第五段“Unseenbythosewhoremainedlockedinsidetheirhomes，warmintheirbeds，Ienjoyedbeingalonewiththebeautyofthewintertime.”說明這里的adventure就
