8.What historical site impresses you the most?I've always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt.A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them.Like millions of other tourists I marvelled at stoned-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilisation.But popularity might be the collapse (崩溃) of such archaeological treasures.
Take Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings,for example.It lay untouched for more than 3,000years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922.Now more than 1,000people a day walk through it.
But as more and more people visit,the temperature and humidity (湿度) inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster (胶泥) is coming away from the rock.
In order to preserve its heritage,a replica of the monument is being opened about one km away from the actual burial site.Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun's tomb and used the data to recreate it.
Adam Lowe from the organisation behind the project,Factum Arte,says the copy is identical to the original.He believes visitors will want to"become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction",so won't mind seeing a replica.
But for historian Tom Holland,a copy is still a copy.He believes that although preservation is important,there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun's tomb.
He says it was built"by people who believed in the world of the spirits,the dead and the supernatural.You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced."
What about you:would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?

分析 本文是一篇记叙文.主要介绍了旅游业给历史古迹带来的破坏,以埃及国王图坦卡蒙的墓为例,自从英国考古学家霍华德•卡特发现开探该墓后,更多的游客参观导致温度和湿度变化使得内部装饰已剥离.为了保护文化遗产,采用古迹复制品取而代之迎接游客以减轻古迹压力的办法.
解答 51-54 DBBB
51.D 细节理解题.根据第三段中的"But as more and more people visit,the temperature and humidity (湿度) inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster (胶泥) is coming away from the rock"可知,随着越来越多游客的参观,给历史古迹造成了破坏,因此D项符合语境,故选D.
52.B 词意猜测题.根据第四段中的"In order to preserve its heritage,a replica of the monument is being opened about one km away from the actual burial site.Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun's tomb and used the data to recreate it"可知,为了保护历史遗迹,在实际墓地1公里外,一个相似的坟墓的复制品对游客开放,专家们进行再创造,极力保持原有坟墓的特征,即被复制的坟墓,故选B.
53.B 推理判断题.根据第六段中"He says it was built"by people who believed in the world of the spirits,the dead and the supernatural.You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced."可知,历史学家"Tom Holland"认为,这些历史遗址(坟墓)是神圣的,甚至有些是超自然的,有它自身的特质和积淀,这些东西是无法再生的,故选B.
54.B 推理判断题.根据第六段中"You don't have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated and has a particular quality that can't be reproduced"和第七段中"What about you:would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?"可知,历史古遗址的特质有些是无法复制的,作者最后提出疑问:你们是想要参观古迹复制品还是原始的古迹呢?,由此可判断,作者对此‘采用古迹复制品取而代之迎接游客以减轻古迹压力的办法'是持怀疑态度的,故选B.
点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.
