Archaeology as a profession faces two major problems. First, it is the poorest of the poor. Only paltry sums are available for excavating and even less is available for publishing the results (5) and preserving the sites once excavated. Yet archaeologists deal with priceless objects every day. Second, there is the problem of illegal excavation, resulting in museum-quality pieces being sold to the highest bidder. (10) Iwould like to make an outrageous suggestion that would at one stroke provide funds for archaeology and reduce the amount of illegal digging. Iwould propose that scientific archaeological expeditions and governmental (15) authorities sell excavated artifacts on the open market. Such sales would provide substantial funds for the excavation and preservation of archaeological sites and the publication of results. At the same time, they would break the illegal (20) excavator's grip on the market, thereby decreasing the inducement to engage in illegal activities. You might object that professionals excavate to acquire knowledge, not money. Moreover, ancient artifacts are part of our global cultural heritage, (25) which should be available for all to appreciate, not sold to the highest bidder. Iagree. Sell nothing that has unique artistic merit or scientific value. But, you might reply, everything that comes out of the ground has scientific value. Here we part company. (30) Theoretically, you may be correct in claiming that every artifact has potential scientific value. Practically, you are wrong. I refer to the thousands of pottery vessels and ancient lamps that are essentially duplicates of (35) one another. In one small excavation in Cyprus, archaeologists recently uncovered 2,000 virtually indistinguishable small jugs in a single courtyard. Even precious royal seal impressions known as I'melekh handles have been found in abundance (40) —more than 4,000 examples so far. The basements of museums are simply not large enough to store the artifacts that are likely to be discovered in the future. There is not enough money even to catalog the finds; as a result, they 368 (45) cannot be found again and become as inaccessible as if they had never been discovered. Indeed, with the help of a computer, sold artifacts could be more accessible than are the pieces stored in bulging museum basements. Prior to sale, each could be (50) photographed and the list of the purchasers could be maintained on the computer. A purchaser could even be required to agree to return the piece if it should become needed for scientific purposes. It would be unrealistic to suggest that illegal (55) digging would stop if artifacts were sold on the open market. But the demand for the clandestine product would be substantially reduced. Who would want an unmarked pot when another was available whose provenance was known, and that was dated (60) stratigraphically by the professional archaeologist who excavated it? The primary purpose of the passage is to propose (A) an alternative to museum display of artifacts (B) a way to curb illegal digging while benefiting the archaeological profession (C) a wayto distinguish artifacts with scientific value from those that have no such value (D) the governmental regulation of archaeological sites (E) a new system for cataloging duplicate artifacts

求解

请问这道题为什么选B呀？

请问余数可以不是整数嘛？这道题怎么解释？

老师这个问题还没有解答 As引导的句子问题： 第一个句子as...as...是表示链接的内容程度一样吗，翻译起来感觉不太顺。the circumstances翻译成了这些规律和原则，哪些规律和原则？指代的是什么？此外with引导的是伴随状语？那as...as...作什么成分呢 第二个句子insofar查了是adv.在这个范围；到这个程度的意思。insofar as引导的是什么？insofar as the literature analysis is concerned怎么理解呢 第三个句子，四个as...第一个as意思是作为,第二个as意思也是作为？generally accepted as a race in any given region of ethnic competition怎么理解？第三和第四个as,表示和。。。一样，并列的是哪两个部分，什么和什么一样呢，后面the Chinese in California and the Jew in medieval Europe省略了什么

画线部分不理解。more...than..more后面的of the preindustrial European population比the 2 or 3 percent多？the preindustrial European population是不是应该放在investigate后面比较好

所以这一题c选择creating之所以修饰individual是因为这不是一个svo，+doing的形式所以采取的是就近修饰原则吗？

想问一下金老师，这道题c选择og解释里面说的是修饰individual不是reactions呀，您为啥说是修饰reactions呢

请问怎么从第二段看出来作者的观点是enable to enforce property right不是因为arbitrary 而是因为earlier parents often violated copyright law

我画粉色的这个是一个svo+doing形式吗 还是说它跟在that之后就不算一个完整句

请问什么情况下可以跳着修饰呀？
