Men seem to have always taken an interest in meteorites, but not until the early nineteenth century were these objects considered worth preserving for scientific study.
In the beginning, people believed that because meteorites fell from the heavens, they were either gods themselves or messages from the gods. Thus the more civilized of early men carefully kept the meteorites, drapping them in costly linens and anointing them with oil. In many instances, the people built special temples in which the meteorites were to be worshiped. Meteorite worship was common long in the Mediterranean area, and in Africa, India, Japan, and Mexico: such worship still persists in some regions.
Although many people held meteorites in reverence paritcularly if they were seen to fall, other practical minded individuals made good use of the durable and easily worked alloy provided by nature in the nickel-iron meteorites. They frequently used of this metal to make tools, and often pots and other utensils. Throughout history, meteoritic iron has been used in the manufacture of special swords, daggers, and knives for members of royalty. Attila and other early conquerors of Europe. boasted of "swords form heaven". As late as the end of nineteenth century, several swords were made from a Japanese iron meteorite at the command of a member of the Japanese court. [br] In the nineteenth century men began to ______.
选项
A、investigate practical uses for meteoritic iron
B、study meteorites scientifically
C、take more than a casual interest in meteorites
D、preserve meteorites
答案
B
解析
句意为:十九世纪,人们开始…,其中关键词是the nineteeth century,我们可到文章去找相关内容。文中第一段就与之相关:人们似乎早就对陨石产生兴趣然而直到十九世纪早期,这些物质才被认为值得保存下来用作科学研究。由此,可排除选择项A“研究陨石中铁的实用价值”和C“不只对陨石一般地感兴趣”。比较B和D,显然B项比D项更符合第一段的内容。
