介绍自然之谜属于说明类文章,是高考英语书面表达中一种常见的考查形式。它要求从科学文献或权威机构搜集相关资料,并加以调查、整理,清楚地介绍自然之谜发生的时间、地点、经过等情况,使读者对此有一个完整、准确的了解。
1.未解现象是什么:Along a special line of latitude, known as the 30th parallel north, lie numerous sites of ancient civilisations and impressive natural features.
2.神秘的原因:These civilisations appeared at a similar time, and all developed advanced bronzemaking techniques.
3.非科学解释:It's argued that the 30th parallel north is a line of great natural energy, with frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.This creates amazing natural features, including Mount Qomolangma, the Dead Sea, and rivers, such as the Nile, the Mississippi and the Yangtze.Lacking any concrete evidence, some even claim it was supernatural powers!
4.科学家们的解释:It's more likely,they argue, that civilisations arose on the 30th parallel north because the climate there is generally warm and damp.Major tectonic plates meet at this latitude, causing earthquakes, which helped form the Himalayas.The rest, they say, is either coincidence or fantasy.
