问题 共用题干The Mysteries of Nazca

In the desert of Peru,300 kilometers from Lima,one of the most unusual artworks in the world has
mystified（迷惑）people for decades.__________ (46) But from high above, these marks are huge images
of birds,fish,seashells,all beautifully carved into the earth.
The Nazca lines are so difficult to see from the ground that they weren't discovered until the 1930s,
when pilots spotted them while flying over the area. In all,there are about 70 different human and animal
figures on the plain,along with 900 triangles,circles,and lines.
Researchers have figured out that the lines are at least 1 ,500 years old,but their purpose is still a mystery.
____________(47)However,it would probably be very tricky to land a spaceship in the middle of pictures of
dogs and monkeys.
In the 1940s,an American explorer named Paul Kosok suggested that the drawings are a chronicle
（记录）of the movement of the stars and planets.__________(48) Later, an astronomer tested his theory
with a computer,but he couldn't find any relation between the lines and movements in space.
Another explanation is that the lines may have been made for religious reasons.British researcher Tony
Morrison investigated the customs of people in the Andes Mountain and learned that they sometimes pray by
the side of the road.It's possible that in the past,the lines of Nazca were created for a similar purpose.
__________(49)But the local people have never constructed anything this big.
Recently,two other scientists,David Johnson and Steve Mabee,have speculated that lines could have
been related to water. Nazca is one of the driest places in the world and receives only 2cm of rain every
year. While Johnson was searching for ancient water sources in the area,he noticed that some waterways
built by ancient people were connected with the lines.Johnson believes that the Nazca lines are a giant map
of the underground water in the area.________(50)__________（47）A:Other scientists are now searching for evidence to prove this.B:A Swiss writer named Erich Von Daniken wrote that the Nazca lines were designed as a landing place for UFOs.C:Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs.D:The largest pictures may have been the sites for special ceremonies.E:Seen from the ground,it looks like lines scratched into the earth.F:He called Nazca"the largest astronomy book in the world".

答案 B
解析 此空下文内容的视角转向了高处，即high above，空格处的视角应该是地面，故选E。
由此空下文的转折词however可知，此空的内容和某种飞行器着陆的情况相关，故选B。
由下文一句的关键词astronomer可知，本段对奇异图案的猜想和天文学相关，故选F。
本段对纳斯卡的神奇图案做出了和宗教相关的解释。这些图案可能是古时的人们祈 祷所用到的，因此这些巨幅图案可能是一些特殊仪式的现场，故选D。
3～6段从不同角度对纳斯卡的神秘图案进行了解释，但相继被后续的反证推翻，本段 只是提出了另外一种假设，因此下文应该提及相关的证据，故选A。
