第二部分  阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分)

第一节 (共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分)

A

Are you interested in ancient Britain? Take a trip back in time and discover the Britain ancestors knew.

Avebury, Wiltshire

This village is the proud home of the largest stone circle in Europe. Built during the New Stone Age (around 3000 BC), archaeologists think it was used to comfort the powers of nature. The nearby Avebury Manor let people know how the village developed over the centuries. Unlike others, visitors are welcome to sit on the chairs, and lie on the beds.

Skara Brae, Orkney Islands

Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Giza, Skara Brae is unusually well-kept. So much so that it’s been described as the most remarkable prehistoric monument in all of Europe. The Neolithic village— which was first occupied around 3180 BC—is made up of eight round houses, connected by a series of small passages. The village was home to farmers, hunters and fishermen and the network of homes includes a workshop and prison. Be sure to wrap up warm against the fierce Orkney winds.

Butser Ancient Farm, Hampshire

Experimental archaeologist Dr Peter J Reynolds founded Butser Ancient Farm in 1970 with a special vision: to create a working ancient farm where fellow archaeologists could explore their theories on how people lived and worked during the Iron Age. Near South Downs National Park, the farm builds ancient houses based on real archaeological sites from around the country.

Maiden Castle

Maiden Castle is one of the largest and most complex Iron Age hill forts (要塞) in Britain. It has an area of about 450,000 square meters, and the site was home to several hundred people in the Iron Age (800 BC—AD 43).
