【导语】本文介绍了位于宁夏银川的贺兰山岩画遗址公园,讲述了岩画作为古代人类记录生活和精神世界的重要载体,其丰富的内容、分布特点以及专家和保护者为研究和保护这些珍贵文化遗产所做出的努力。
1.句意:任何人都会对岩石上艺术作品和雕刻的数量感到惊讶。
根据语境,岩画数量巨大(后文提到约6000处),人们看到如此多的作品通常会感到惊奇,surprised“惊讶的”符合语境。angry“生气的”、afraid“害怕的”、upset“心烦的”均不符合参观历史遗迹时的正常情感反应。
2.句意:在人类懂得读写之前,这些雕刻就是一本充满信息的书。
岩画记录了古代人的生活、信仰等,相当于一种信息载体,information“信息”符合语境。decisions“决定”、population“人口”、joy“快乐”均不能全面概括岩画作为“书”所承载的历史和文化内容。
3.句意:如今,它们帮助我们了解古人是如何生活的。
此处引导宾语从句,表示生活方式或状态,how“如何”符合语境,即了解古人生活的情形。whether“是否”、which“哪一个”、if“如果/是否”均不符合“了解生活状况”的语义逻辑。
4.句意:公园里的岩石雕刻涵盖了不同的物体,包括动物、植物等。
主语是Rock carvings,宾语是different objects,cover“涵盖/包含”准确描述了岩画内容的广泛性,符合语境。understand“理解”、discover“发现”、receive“接收”均不能恰当表达岩画内容与物体之间的包含关系。
5.句意:“岩石艺术在中国其他许多地方也已被发现,但该公园是唯一一个在单一地点拥有如此多岩石艺术品的地方。”
句中使用了现在完成时has been found,且语境表示“已经”存在的事实,already“已经”常用于肯定句的完成时中,符合语境。yet“还/尚”多用于否定句或疑问句、ever“曾经”、never“从不”均不符合此处强调“已发现”的肯定语气。
6.句意:这有助于游客在一次可能持续一两个小时的旅行中了解更多关于古代艺术的知识。
one or two hours“一两个小时”是固定表达,表示概数,or“或者”符合语境。so“所以”、but“但是”、and“和”均不能连接数字构成此处的时间范围表达。
7.句意:据张先生说,“石头上的历史”是人类在文字被创造出来之前展示精神世界的一种好方式。
根据前文“before human beings knew how to read or write”可知,岩画出现在文字产生之前,before“在……之前”符合历史发展逻辑。with“随着”、by“通过”、after“在……之后”均与事实相反。
8.句意:在过去的几年里,张和他的团队一直在寻找岩画。
后文引用张先生的话“Sometimes, we spend a whole day and end up finding nothing”(有时我们花了一整天却一无所获),说明他们的工作性质是勘探和寻找,searching for“寻找”符合语境。setting up“建立”、discussing with“与……讨论”、worrying about“担心”均不符合野外考古工作的描述。
9.句意:其他专家和当地政府已尽力保护它。
主语是Other experts and the local government(复数,指代第三方),try one’s best是固定搭配,此处应用their“他们的”,符合语境。our“我们的”、your“你们的”、its“它的”均与人称不符。
10.句意:银川世界岩画博物馆已向公众开放,以提高人们保护岩刻的意识。
raise awareness“提高意识”是固定搭配,raise符合语境。cause“引起”、make“制作/使”、choose“选择”均不能与awareness构成地道的“提高意识”搭配。
阅读短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
