試題詳情
Archaeologists （考古學(xué)家） may have found the location of an ancient Greek city，Kane.For more than 400 years，what happened to Kane has confused experts.The city，mentioned in many ancient texts，was on one of a group of three islands in the Aegean Sea.These islands were all located off the coast of modern-day Turkey.Two of the islands，now known as the Garip Islands，are still there.
However，the third island，an important stopping point on ancient trade routes，no longer appeared on maps made after the 16th century.No one knew why.
Geo-archaeologists have helped solve the mystery.They said that the island didn't disappear.New evidence suggests that this former island is a mainland peninsula （半島） now.That's almost completely surrounded by water.
How did the island turn into a peninsula？At one time，a channel between two areas of land separated the island and the mainland. "The original channel was blocked out，" said Felix Pirson，the leader of the study.That means the space between the island and the mainland was filled with materials carried by running water.
Instead of finding solid ground，the geo-archaeologists discovered loose soil and rock.For scientists，this suggests that the land there was formed recently，perhaps because of the earthquakes.
The scientists are looking forward to doing further testing.They hope to figure out exactly when the land bridge between the mainland and the island formed.They said that this could provide them with more information about the area during ancient times. "The aim is to reconstruct the ancient environment to understand history，"said Felix Pirson.

1．Imagine mountains enveloped in silver water，shining in the spring sun.Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice.During autumn，these mountains are gold，and in winter they are covered with white frost.（1）
These terraces（梯田） were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people.Starting in the Yuan Dynasty，work on the terraces took hundreds of years.（2）Reaching as far as the eye can see，these terraces cover tall mountains，often from the bottom to the very top.
（3）Firstly，there are few large flat areas of land in the region.Building the terraces could increase the areas to grow rice.Secondly，although the region has plenty of rain，the mountains are steep（陡峭） and the soil is shallow，The fat terraces help catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.
But perhaps the most important is the way people have worked in peace with nature.The terraces are cleverly designed，with hundreds of waterways connecting with each other.During the rainy season.rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces along these waterways.The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour（水蒸氣）.（4）These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish，some of which feed on insects harmful to crops.
Although modern technology helps produce more crops，these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold much value.（5）Thus，new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces.Today，the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.
A.Terraces were built to collect the rain.
B.These are the colors of the Longji Terraces.
C.This knowledge is passed down through families.
D.It wasn't completed until the early Qing Dynasty.
E.So how did people change the entire mountains into terraces？
F.This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the terraces again.
G.So why did these people take trouble turning the entire mountains into terraces？發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:30:2組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5 -
