Archaeologists have long thought that stone ships served as graves for one or several individuals, and have even been viewed as death ships 【1】 to take the dead to living eternally. However, a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows a different picture. It suggests Bronze Age stone monuments in the form of ships were built by sailors as a symbol of their practices at sea.

The study indicates that the stone ships and the activities that took place there point to people who were 【2】 focused on practices at sea. Details found within the stone structures show they were built to 【3】 real ships. The stone ships offer up 【4】 about the ship-building techniques of the time and about the ships that sailed on the Baltic Sea during the Bronze Age.

“These consist of areas that 【5】 hill forts and are located near easily 【6】 points in the landscape—that is, near well-known waterways leading inland,” Wehlin, head of the team, said. “While these areas have previously been thought to be much younger, recent age 【7】 have dated them to the Bronze Age.”

Archaeologists have believed that bronze was 【8】 to Scandinavia from the south, and recent analyses have helped confirm this notion. However, the people who distributed the bronze objects are rarely 【9】 in these thoughts.

“One reason why the meeting places of the Bronze Age are not discussed very often is that we haven’t been able to find them,” Wehlin said. “This is in 【10】 contrast to the trading places of the Viking Age, which have been easy to locate as they left behind such rich archaeological material.”

这是一篇说明文。哥德堡大学的研究人员进行的一项新研究表明，青铜时代的石碑船的形式是由水手建造的，作为他们在海上实践的象征。

【1】考查非谓语动词。句意：长期以来，考古学家们一直认为石船是为一个或几个人修建的坟墓，甚至被认为是死亡之船，目的是让死者永远活着。分析句子成分可知，主语为stone ships，谓语为have even been viewed as，宾语为death ships，故此处应该用非谓语动词。短语intend to do“打算做…”，符合题意，且intend与death ships之间是被动关系，应该用done形式。故选AD。

【2】考查副词。句意：研究表明，石头船和那里发生的活动表明，人们主要关注在海上的活动。此处要用副词修饰动词were focused on。副词majorly意为“真正地，极其地”，符合题意。故选A。

【3】考查动词。句意：在石头结构中发现的细节表明，它们是用来代表真正的船只的。根据were built to可知此处用动词原形，表示目的。动词represent意为“代表，象征”，符合题意。故选B。

【4】考查名词。句意：这些石船提供了有关当时造船技术和青铜时代在波罗的海航行的船只的线索。根据offer up可知此处用名词做宾语。名词clues意为“线索”，符合题意。故选AC。

【5】考查动词。句意：这些区域类似于山岗堡垒。分析句子成分可知，此处是that引导的定语从句，先行词为areas，that充当主语，故此处用动词做谓语。动词resemble意为“类似”，符合题意。故选BD。

【6】考查形容词。句意：位于地形上容易到达的地点附近。此处要用形容词修饰名词points（地点）。形容词accessible意为“可进入的，易接近的”，符合题意。故选BC。

【7】考查名词。句意：但最近的年龄测定将它们追溯到青铜时代。根据时态have dated可知此处要用可数名词复数形式做主语。名词复数determinations“测定”，符合题意。故选AB。

【8】考查动词。句意：考古学家认为青铜是从南方进口到斯堪的纳维亚的，最近的分析也证实了这一观点。分析句子成分可知，此处是由that引导的宾语从句，从句中主语为bronze，宾语为Scandinavia，故此处用动词过去式，是谓语部分。动词import意为“进口”，符合题意。故选ABC。

【9】考查动词。句意：然而，在这些思想中，分配青铜物品的人很少被提及。分析句子成分可知，主语为the people who distributed the bronze objects，谓语为are rarely ____，故应该用动词过去分词形式。动词address“提出，陈述”，此处意为“提及”，符合题意。故选D。

【10】考查形容词。句意：这与维京时代的贸易地点形成了巨大的对比。固定短语in contrast to“与……形成对照”，contrast是名词，要用形容词修饰名词。形容词immense意为“巨大的，广大的”，符合题意。故选CD。
