A huge storm that collapsed part of a cliff on Israel’s central coast led to the discovery of a statue dating back to the Roman period, the Israel Antiquities Authority said Tuesday. The statue of a woman is estimated to be 2,000 years old. It stands 1.2 meters tall, weighs about 200 kilograms and (1)was found with no head or arms, according to a news release by the authority. (2)A person walking on the shore at Ashkelon on the west coast of Jerusalem made the discovery, the authority said. The statue fell into the sea when the cliff collapsed as a result of the storm. The collapse also ruined a bath house that had been in the cliff for many hundreds of years. The storm, one of the strongest Israel has experienced in recent years, brought winds of more than 100 kph that sent 10-meter waves crashing into Israel’s coast.
1. What do we learn about the statue from the news report?
2. Where was the statue found?
选项 A、Out in the sea.
B、Inside a bath house.
C、On a cliff along the coast.
D、On the coast outside Jerusalem.
答案 D
解析 新闻提到雕像是在位于耶路撒冷西岸地区的Ashkelon海边发现的，D正确。A“在远海处”与新闻事实不符。新闻提到峭壁的坍塌毁坏了藏在其中的浴室，而不是说雕像在浴室内被发现，B排除。雕像原本藏在峭壁中，它被发现是因为峭壁部分坍塌造成雕像掉落到海边，因此排除C“在悬崖上”。
