The Iceman

On a September day in 1991,two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High
up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet or 3,200
meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had
melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton（骨架）was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the
head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the
wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of
gloves made of tree bark（树皮）and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man?How and when had he died?Everybody had a different answer to these questions.
Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I,
since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father,
who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists
who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the iceman was about 5,300 years old.
Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably
a hunter who had died in an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,however,tells a different
story.A new kind of X-ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin,
but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the
wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It might have been
part of a larger war,or he might have beenl fighting bandits.He might even have been a bandit himself.
By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the iceman about the
times he lived in.we may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the
history of those distant times.The scientists made the deduction that the iceman______________.A:was hit in the shoulder by an arrowheadB:had a tiny hole in his skin causing his deathC:was probably in some kind of a battleD:had got a wound on the back of his head
选项 The scientists made the deduction that the iceman______________.
A:was hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead
B:had a tiny hole in his skin causing his death
C:was probably in some kind of a battle
D:had got a wound on the back of his head
答案 C
解析 第一段提到：1991年是特别暖的一年，山上的冰比以前消融的更多，因此尸体才显露 出来。
第二段提到：它面朝下，除了头部有伤外，骨架状况很好。仅就此推断，冰人可能死于 头部伤。
根据第三段可知，文中未提及选项B。
选项A和选项D是事实而非推论；选项C是推论；选项B不符合事实。
bandit“强盗”，与robber意思相近。B项意为“射击手”;C项意为“士兵”;D项意为 “猎人”。第5部分：补全短文
