第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

Put yourself in these tourists’ position. You are walking an icy mountain path in the Alps in Europe. Suddenly you spot a body on the ground, face downward and stuck to the ice. You think someone may have been murdered or in a fatal accident. So you rush back and call the police. The police, however, quickly realize that this body is different from others they’ve found on the mountain. For one thing, it is mostly undamaged. For another, its skin is dried out, like a mummy’s(木乃伊). And there is an old small stone knife beside the body.

The body turned out be much older than the tourists could have guessed. When specialists(专家)had a chance to examine it, they discovered it had been there for about five thousand years!

How could a body stay preserved for all this time? Two things probably helped. First, the place where the man died was somewhat sheltered, so animals couldn’t get at it. Then he was quickly covered by falling snow. Wind blowing through the snow probably “freeze-dried” his body, removing all moisture(水分) from it.

Objects found with the body told something about the Iceman’s life. He wore a well-made fur jacket and trousers. He clearly had been hunting, because he carried arrows, and animal bones were nearby. He also had a grass cushion for sitting or sleeping on. Perhaps he was tired when he lay down for the last time.

The body was found in 1991, when some of the ice on the mountain melted. Searching for the cause of the Iceman’s death, scientists put the body back into cold conditions---and hoped.

1. What does the underlined word “spot” in the first paragraph probably mean?

A. lay       B. dig          C. find         D. carry

2. Which of the following is NOT the reason that the police realize that the body is different from others?

A. The body’s skin is like a mummy’s.    B. Beside the body is an old small stone knife.

C. The body is much older than others.   D. The body is mostly undamaged.

3. At what time of a year was the Iceman probably died?

A. Early fall.   B. Late spring.    C. Summer.    D. Winter.

4. This passage is mainly to _____________

A. tell us what life was like 5, 000 years ago.

B. warn us not to go to the Alps.

C. introduce a mysterious Iceman to us.

D. explain the mystery of the Alps.
