提问:

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

提问:

不知道自己判断标准是否对 前三相似,对比前三,按逻辑rules只能被intend,with intent、intending是主动,(实际做时,B我不知with intent是主动,我根据后面不是从句而是短语所以判断不如A);对比DE,D我觉得should不好,E的this指代不清。

提问:

原文不长,读一下意思,看到than肯定要和前面并列形式一致,认为individuals是说某个物种,于是后面应该是别的物种。(按正确答案来,individuals应该是指基因的某几个组成部分???)
