The following paragraphs are given in a wrong
order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize into a coherent text
by choosing from the list A-G and filling them into the numbered boxes
.Paragraphs A and E have been correctly placed. Mark your answers on the ANSWER
SHEET.(10 points)
[A] Some archaeological sites have always been
easily observable—for example, the Parthenon in Athens, Greece; the pyramids of
Giza in Egypt; and the megaliths of Stonehenge in southern England. But these
sites are exceptions to the norm .Most archaeological sites have been located
by means of careful searching, while many others have been discovered by
accident. Olduvai Gorge, fell into its deep valley in 1911.Thousands of Aztec
artifacts came to light during the digging of the Mexico City subway in the
1970s.
[B] In another case, American archaeologists
Rene million and George Cowgill spent years systematically mapping the entire
city of Teotihuacan in the valley of Mexico near what is now Mexico City .at
its peak around AD 600, this city was one of the largest human settlements in
the word. The researchers mapped not only the city’s vast and ornate ceremonial
areas, but also hundreds of simpler apartment complexes where common people
lived.
[C] How do archaeologists know where to find
what they are looking for when there is nothing visible on the surface of the
ground? Typically, they survey and sample (make test excavations on) large
areas of terrain to determine where excavation will yield useful information.
Surveys and test samples have also become important for understanding the
larger landscapes that contain archaeological sites.
[D] Surveys can cover a single large
settlement or entire landscapes. In one case, many researchers working around
the ancient Maya city of Copán, Honduras, have located hundreds of small rural
village and individual dwellings by using aerial photographs and by making
surveys on foot. The resulting settlement maps show how the distribution and
density of the rural population around the city changed dramatically between
AD500 and 850, when Copán collapsed.
[E] To find their sites, archaeologists today
rely heavily on systematic survey methods and a variety of high-technology
tools and techniques. Airborne technologies, such as different types of radar
and photographic equipment carried by airplanes or spacecraft, allow
archaeologists to learn about what lies beneath the ground without digging.
Aerial surveys locate general areas of interest or larger buried features, such
as ancient buildings or fields.
[F] Most archaeological sites, however, are
discovered by archaeologists who have set out to look for them. Such searches
can take years. British archaeologist Howard Carter knew that the tomb of the
Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen existed from information found in other sites.
Carter sifted through rubble in the Valley of the King for seven years before
he located the tomb in 1922. In the late 1800s British archaeologist Sir Arthur
Eyan combed antique dealers’ stores in Athens, Greece. He was searching for thing
engraved seals attributed to the ancient Mycenaean culture that dominated
Greece from the 1400s to 1200s BC. Evas’s interpretations of those engravings
eventually led them to find the Minoan palace at Knossos on the island of
Crete, in 1900.
[G] Ground surveys allow archaeologists to
pinpoint the places where digs will be successful. Most ground surveys involve
a lot of walking, looking for surface clues such as small fragments of pottery.
They often include a certain amounts of digging to test for buried materials at
selected points across a landscape. Archaeologists also may locate buried
remains by using such technologies as ground radar, magnetic-field recording,
and metal detector. Archaeologists commonly use computers to map sites and the
landscapes around sites. Two and three-dimensional maps are helpful tools in
planning excavations, illustrating how sites look, and presenting the results
of archaeological research.

答案 41-45 CFGDB
答案解析
41.首段，所以需要找寻综述性的段落。其中A和E选项是给出的，所以只需从余下选项进行选择。B选项中有another，所以不会是第一段。E选项中 代词their没有指代对象。F中有however,也不会是第一段。因此，只留下C和D选项。在C选项最后一句提到survey和test sample也很重要。而在D选项开头就提到了survey,而且整段都是，由此可看出D是对C的分述。所以C是首段。
42. 此题排在A项之后，所以内容上应该是衔接的。A项主要谈论的是大部分考古地点是通过仔细搜寻之后找到的，而其他的很多是被偶然发现的，接着举了一些例子。 接下来在看各段首句的时候，发现F项中提到大部分考古地点是被考古学家们特意寻找发现的，和A提到的偶然发现意思相反，所以F正确。
43. 此题排在E项之后。E选项最后一句提到天空的搜寻，而在G选项的开头提到地面搜寻，正好形成对应，所以为正确答案。
44. 此时，只留下B和D选项。其中B选项开头提到了in another case,所以前面一段一定要提到in one case, 而D选项中有in
one case.所以，D选项在前。
45. 根据上面的分析，此题只能选B。
