27、. Even a light wind threatens to reduce them to dust. The reason is that they were turned into carbon by a natural disaster in A.D. 79.But now researchers from the University of Kentucky have found a way to look inside the scrolls without having to touch them. They first create a light that is 10 bi

28、llion times brighter than the sun by taking advantage of a machine. Then they will use the light to go through the Herculaneum scrolls to study and finally read the words recorded on the scrolls. Researchers think it might take them six months to read the scrolls.This isnt the first time researchers

29、 have tried to read the Herculaneum scrolls. Several years ago scientists from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility(ESRF) worked on uncovering the mystery using an X-ray beam 100 billion times brighter than anything used in a hospital. This didnt allow scientists to actually read the scrolls,

30、 but it allowed them to make one surprising discovery. The scrolls were written in metallic ink, a writing technology that scientists didnt know existed at the time the scrolls were penned.“For a long time, we thought our studies have let us know everything about the ancient ink used to write on scr

31、olls. Now we find its not the case. This shows that we should tell ourselves it may not be true when thinking we fully know something once some research is done,” said Daniel Delattre, one of the studys authors.The finding wasnt just a historical interest. To learn just how special these scrolls are

32、, consider that the thinker Chrysippus in ancient Greece is said to have written over 70 works; but all are lost, with the exception of a few works found in the Herculaneum scrolls. In other words, its possible that these scrolls represent the only existing complete works left by this great thinker.

37、文章主要介绍了古赫库兰尼姆卷轴被认为包含了古希腊重要思想家的作品，因为它们在公元79年的一场自然灾害中变成了碳，所以不能供人们长时间地阅读。但是研究人员打算利用机器制造出比太阳亮100亿倍的光，使其穿过赫库兰尼姆卷轴来阅读这些卷轴里的内容。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“The ancient Herculaneum scrolls are thought to contain works of important thinkers in ancient Greece. But the scrolls cant be unrolled. Even a light wind threate

38、ns to reduce them to dust. The reason is that they were turned into carbon by a natural disaster in A.D. 79.”可知，古赫库兰尼姆卷轴被认为包含了古希腊重要思想家的作品。但卷轴无法展开。即使是微风也有可能使它们化为尘土。原因是它们在公元79年的一场自然灾害中变成了碳。由此可知，古赫库兰尼姆卷轴不能供人们长时间地阅读。故选B。【9题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段“But now researchers from the University of Kentucky have found a w

39、ay to look inside the scrolls without having to touch them. They first create a light that is 10 billion times brighter than the sun by taking advantage of a machine. Then they will use the light to go through the Herculaneum scrolls to study and finally read the words recorded on the scrolls. Resea

40、rchers think it might take them six months to read the scrolls. ”可知，但是现在肯塔基大学的研究人员发现了一种不用触摸就能看到卷轴内部内容的方法。他们首先利用机器制造出比太阳亮100亿倍的光。然后他们会用光穿过赫库兰尼姆卷轴来研究，最后阅读卷轴上记载的内容。研究人员认为他们可能需要六个月的时间来阅读这些卷轴。由此可知，第二段主要介绍的是读取赫库兰尼姆卷轴内容的新方法。故选B。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的“The scrolls were written in metallic ink, a writing technol

41、ogy that scientists didnt know existed at the time the scrolls were penned.”可知，这些卷轴是用金属墨水书写的，科学家并不知道在书写卷轴的时候有这种书写技术的存在；根据第四段的“For a long time, we thought our studies have let us know everything about the ancient ink used to write on scrolls. Now we find its not the case. This shows that we should te

42、ll ourselves it may not be true when thinking we fully know something once some research is done”可知，很长一段时间以来，我们认为我们的研究已经让我们了解了古代用于书写卷轴的墨水的一切情况。现在我们发现事实并非如此。这表明我们应该告诉自己：我们一做完某些研究就认为我们完全知道了某些事情的态度是不对的。由此可知，ESRF的科学家更多地了解了古代的信息记录方式。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The finding wasnt just a historical interest. To

43、 learn just how special these scrolls are, consider that the thinker Chrysippus in ancient Greece is said to have written over 70 works; but all are lost, with the exception of a few works found in the Herculaneum scrolls. In other words, its possible that these scrolls represent the only existing c

44、omplete works left by this great thinker. And who knows what other great works could exist in the scrolls?”可知，这一发现不仅具有历史意义。要了解这些卷轴有多特别，不妨考虑一下古希腊的思想家克里斯蒂普斯据说写了70多部作品；但是除了赫库兰尼姆卷轴中的一些作品外，其他所有作品都不存在了。换句话说，这些卷轴可能代表了这位伟大思想家留下的仅有的完整著作。谁知道卷轴中还可以存在哪些其他伟大的著作？由此可知，本段提到了克里斯蒂普斯的作品是为了展示赫库兰尼姆卷轴可能很有价值。故选A。DIn an ex

45、periment to track the effects of insecticide (杀虫剂) on birds in the wild, scientists caught 24 sparrows as they migrated(迁徙) north from Mexico and the southern United States to Canada. The team fed half of those birds on a low amount of the commonly used agricultural insecticide and the other half wi

46、th a slightly higher amount. An additional 12 birds were caught and fed on only sunflower oil. Within hours, the birds fed insecticide began to lose weight and ate less food. Birds given the higher amount lost 6 percent of their weight within six hours.The findings suggest that insecticide, already

47、effective in dropping bee populations, could also reduce bird populations. There is clear evidence that since 1966, the populations of nearly three-quarters of farmland birds have dropped.The researchers fed the birds with carefully measured amounts of insecticide mixed with sunflower oil. In the wi

48、ld, birds might feed on seeds coated with insecticide. Christy Morris-sey, a biologist at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada says, Though the birds fed with the insecticide continued their migration, theres still much we dont know about how repeated exposures to the insecticide might affect a bird. After observing the birds in the lab, Morrissey and colleagues tracked the birds with lightweight trackers and kept records as they continued their spring migration. The highest fed birds stayed 3. 5
