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

王文静老师，我这道题目选了E，因为读起来感觉：a third of them作为elephants的修饰语，有一个with比较顺口也比较符合一般修饰语的语法，能麻烦您解释一下吗

问王文静老师，结合未画线部分C答案相当于用and并列了两个That从句修饰robe，且句子结构，动词时态也没有什么错误，代词they也有明确的指代，请问老师是哪里有问题？

老师请问一下，A答案为什么错？estimated 用来修饰fragments，A和D的区别就是介词 at 和 to 的区别 固定搭配？查了例句 estimate at 是正确的使用 被估计在 。。几百万年以前这个语意放在此句里 我感觉是合理的。

请问一下老师，关于这道题，我是根据 either ..or..绝对的平行做对的，但是在and并列的两个谓语 date 和 were fashioned的这个部分有点困惑。为什么不是date and are fashioned 或者说 dated and were fashioned。我认为这里是在讲述一个客观事实：这个神像可以追朔到什么时期和由什么制成，应该是用一般现在时。were fashioed 是过去式的被动语态对吧？date and were fashioned感觉也不复合并列的要求。

问MAY老师，两个“项目”的会用TT图解决，请问MAY老师像这种三个“项目”的题应该怎么解决？

问MAY老师 我用TT图解决不了这个问题，麻烦老师帮我看一下是哪里出了问题。

May老师，这是博智模考题里面的一道数学题，不理解呢

May老师你好，这道题的第三小题我的解题思路是插空法，但是做出来答案不对，请老师找找我的问题。因为题目说两端不能有女生，那我就让3个女生插在男生当中，5个男生6个空位，但要去掉一头一尾两个空位，就是C4选3*A33*A55（剩下5个男生随便排），请问老师我的思路上哪里错了？

麻烦老师帮我看看我哪里做错了

阴影区的这句话，中间的那个gives，是跟着前面哪个词的? 是哪个词发出的gives动作? 谢谢
