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

请问这道题C选项and前后为什么可以是并列关系？

为什么选A？and之后的instead come是跟will avoid 并列嘛？还有就是 SVO+doing的形式到底能不能用？怎么用？

请问老师 画线部分这句话怎么没有谓语呢？我想了很久是省略了have been? 如果是这样的话，我发现省略的情况会影响我的阅读，可能是我对英文省略这块的语法不熟悉（什么时候可以省略，哪些可以省略等）老师能发我一些关于省略语法的资料我读读嘛，谢谢

从句不知道修饰谁的问题，有就近修饰的说法吗？怎么判断修饰谁呢：第一句 状语从句Where……打括号部分修饰museum还是Italy，说修饰Italy好像也翻译的通；第二句 that引导的从句 打括号部分修饰rationale还是social and political realities？在句中作什么成分呢; 第三句 that从句修饰evidence还是前面的Middle East？从句中的with和but怎么连在一起用呢

求问这个题，麻烦老师简明扼要解答一下 谢谢～

请问老师 如果是the Audubon society and other conversation groups发出的动作，为什么是concerned 不是concerning？画线部分是在句中是什么成分呢
