becomemoresensitivetotheancientlifestyleofourancestors【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，自從1888年在埃及發(fā)現(xiàn)了貓動物的木乃伊之后，大量的皇家墓穴被挖掘，成千上萬的木乃伊被運(yùn)往世界各地，以攫取物質(zhì)利益。后來考古學(xué)家不再只是尋寶，而是把它作為一門科學(xué)研究。因?yàn)槟灸艘琳故玖斯虐＜叭说娜粘Ｉ?。正如古物學(xué)家薩利瑪·伊克拉姆所說，木乃伊的研究是現(xiàn)代社會和過去的聯(lián)系的橋梁。（1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中"Villagechildrenpeddledthebestonestotouristsforchange;therestweresoldasfertilizer."可知，peddled后的"totouristsforchange"即"把最好的給游客來換取零錢"，可知，此處的peddled是"兜售"給游客以換取零錢，可知peddle就是向他人炫耀從而售出，故選B。（2）考查推理判斷。第二段敘述了"最初考古是為了尋找皇家陵墓，尋找華麗的黃金和彩繪面具來裝飾歐洲和美洲的地產(chǎn)和博物館。成千上萬的來自古埃及的動物木乃伊出現(xiàn)在埃及各地的宗教場所，但很少有人研究它們"?？芍?，考古就是尋寶，為了物質(zhì)上的價值。以及第三段中的“Inthecenturysincethen,archaeologyhasbecomelessofa

treasurehunt

andmoreofascience.”從那以后的一個世紀(jì)里，考古學(xué)已不再是尋寶，而是一門科學(xué)，可知，他們尋找古埃及的遺跡僅僅是為了他們的物質(zhì)價值。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)符合題意，故選D。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“shecreatedagalleryforthecollection—abridgebetweenpeopletodayandthoseoflongago.”可知，SalimaIkram把她的發(fā)現(xiàn)進(jìn)行分類之后，她為這些收藏品創(chuàng)建了一個畫廊——一座連接今天的人和很久以前的人的橋梁。以及她的話"Youlookatthesemummifiedanimals,andsuddenlyyousay,Oh,KingSo-and-Sohadapet.Ihaveapet.Andinsteadofbeingatadistanceof5,000-plusyears,theancientEgyptiansbecomeclearerandclosertous.""你看著這些動物木乃伊，突然你說，哦，國王某某養(yǎng)了一只寵物。我有一只寵物。古埃及人與我們之間的距離不再是5000多年前的事了，而是變得更加清晰，離我們更近了。"由此可推斷出她認(rèn)為研究這些遺跡有助于把現(xiàn)代社會與過去聯(lián)系起來。故選B。（4）考查推理判斷。本文主要敘述了古代埃及的木乃伊展示了古代埃及人的日常生活，是了解它們的途徑，有助于在現(xiàn)代社會與過去的之間建立一座橋梁。通過研究它們可以讓我們正確的評估過去。分析選項(xiàng)可知A符合題意，故選A。【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解
