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, draping 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 worshiped 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 particularly 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] Until the end of the nineteenth century meteoritic iron was used to ______.
选项
A、provide special weapons for royalty
B、build churches and temples
C、manufacture sturdy tools
D、all of the above
答案
A
解析
本题问到直到十九世纪末,陨石中的铁还在被用来做什么。可以用排除法来解答此题。首先我们可排除掉选项B。“修建教堂和寺庙”,因为文章只谈到了人们修建庙宇来供奉陨石;由此,还可以排除掉D。答案C“制造的坚实的工具”和A“为皇室成员制造特殊的武器”,似乎都正确,但经过仔细推敲,应选A。因为在文中提到“Throughout history meteoritic iron has been used in the manufacture of special swords, daggers, and knives for members of royalty”和“As late as the end of the nineteenth century, several swords were made from a Japanese iron meteorite at the command of a member of the Japanese court.”而且文中并没有特别提到人们用陨石中的金属制造工具的时间。
