3、inations for centuries. Its the most enigmatic pre-historic monument on earth. What makes the structure at Stonehenge unique is the fact that for the first time theyre shaping stones on a massive scale. Dating back as far as 2950 B.C., theories about who built Stonehenge have included the druids and
4、 the Greeks. Speculation as to its purpose, range from astronomy to a UFO landing site. Now a ruin with many of the original stones fallen or removed, this site still attracts nearly five thousand tourists everyday. Around the same time as the ancient Egyptians were building the pyramids, the first
5、stones arrived here at Stonehenge. The mystery of this stone is that they are only found in the Brescelly Mountains in south Wales, nearly 150 miles away. It was a huge job to transport these stones from Wales, because originally there were about 80 of them here at Stonehenge weighing up to four ton
6、s each. Now, if I got in my car it would take me about 5 hours to drive all the way to Wales. But to those people, it wouldve been an enormous distance. The stones were brought by boat from the mountains and pulled from the coast by sledge to the site. I think, you need a minimum of about 150 people
7、, simply to move on of these massive forty-ton stones. Getting the stones to the site was an amazing feat, but building Stonehenge was much more complex. It is not just simply one stone piled on top of another, theyre joined together, this hole in the section here thats been pounded out using stone
8、hammers, and that originally fitted on top of that protruding knob on top of that stone. After nearly 5,000 years Stonehenge is still standing. We now know how it was built. The question “why“ is a bit more problematic. Twenty first century followers of ancient mystical beliefs are sure that Stonehe
9、nge has a connection with the summer and winter solstices. “As a druid, as a priest of the land, I feel Stonehenge to be one of the key sacred temples in the world. Stonehenge evokes in us a connection between some deep ancestral intuitive soul and the power of nature around us.“ Nature may well kno
10、w all the answers, but science has yet to prove its theories. It seems Stonehenge isnt ready to reveal all its secrets just yet. 巨石阵 古老的巨石阵屹立在英格兰索尔兹伯里平原上，数世纪以来，它的丰姿赋予了我们丰富的想象力。它是地球上最神秘的史前遗迹。 巨石阵是独一无二的，因为它是首次出现的最大规模巨石。 究竟是谁建造了巨石阵？这要追溯到公元前 2950 年，有两种说法：一种认为是特鲁伊特教的教徒，另一种说法则认为是希腊人。有关巨石阵作用的推测也是众说纷纭，上至天文学
11、意义，下至不明飞行体的降落点，尚无定论。 现在，尽管很多巨石已经倒塌，或给搬走，但是这古迹仍然每天吸引着近五千名游客观光。差不多就在古埃及人建造金字塔的时候，巨石阵的第一批石头被运达英格兰索尔兹伯里平原。巨石的神秘之处在于，它只能从南威尔士的普雷西山脉取材，而那里位于 150 英里开外。 从威尔士搬运石材是个艰巨的工作，因为最初的巨石阵中约有 80 多块巨石，每块重达 4 吨。现在如果从巨石阵开车去威尔士，全程需要大概 5 小时。可对于古人来说，这实在是条遥遥长路。 巨石从大山里开采出来后，先用船只运抵海岸，然后再利用撬具从海岸运到现在的地址。 仅仅是搬运这些重达四十吨的巨石，就需要大约 15
12、0 人。 能把些巨石运送到这里已是惊人之举。但建造巨石阵所花费的工夫更是复杂。因为巨石并不是简单地堆叠在一起，而是被巧妙地连接在一起：石块上这一部分的孔眼是用石锤开出来的，它原来刚好可以套住顶上另一块巨石的石楦。 经历了五千年的风风雨雨，巨石仍然屹立不倒。现在我们已经知道它是如何建成的了。但问题是，为什么要建造这样一个巨石阵呢？古代密教的 21 世纪追随者则确信不疑：巨石阵与夏至、冬至日有关。 “身为特鲁伊特信徒以及这片土地的神职者，我认为巨石阵是世上最重要的圣殿之一。它唤醒我们，在深藏的祖传直觉精神与大自然力量之间是有着某种联系的。 ” 大自然也许知道一切答案，但理论有待于用科学去进一步考证
13、。看来巨石阵似乎还不愿意将神秘面纱全部揭开哩。 2 网站连接 http:/www.amherst.edu/ermace/sth/sth.html http:/www.amherst.edu/ermace/sth/sth.html http:/witcombe.sbc.edu/earthmysteries/EMStonehenge.html http:/ http:/ http:/www.stonehenge.org.uk/ Section 2 Listening and speaking 1Listening 第一节 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项

When he died, the man was about 40 years old. He was buried on his left side with his face to the north. Fro
42、m tests on his teeth, it is certain that he spent his youth in central Europe, perhaps Germany. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. Some of the objects found in the grave give us an idea of how he was dressed when he was buried.There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece
43、of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife in his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay; tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and dozens of arrows for h
44、unting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal. Everything found in the mans grave was probably given to him for his use in the next life. It was all that a person would need to survive -clothing, tools, weapons pottery and spare mate
45、rials to make new tools. The discovery is important for a variety of reasons. His grave is the richest of any found from that period. This was a time when the first metals were brought to Britain, and this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated t
46、o 2, 470 BC). He was important for another reason: he was buried three miles from Stonehenge at the time when the great stones were being brought to Salisbury to build it. Archaeologists tend to believe that this man was a member of a powerful class who may well have organized the construction of St
47、onehenge. For these reasons, this man has been called the King of Stonehenge. Stonehenge was begun around 3, 000 BC. In about 2, 300 BC the huge stone circle were built. The biggest stones weigh approximately 20 tons and came from a place not very far. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing fou
48、r tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380-kilometres. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines, and lorries. It is possible that the King of Stonehenge was lin
49、ked to the stones: he may have had a hand in planning the monument; or in helping transport and pull up the stones. Perhaps the most important fact about the King of Stonehenge is that his homeland was somewhere in Central Europe. He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development, people were going from the Stone
