问题 Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes. Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in A. D. 3Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists’ hypothesis?
选项 A、Bronze ceremonial drinking vessels that are often found in graves dating from years preceding and following A. D. 365 were also found in several graves near Kourion.
B、No coins minted after A. D. 365 were found in Kourion, but coins minted before that year were found in abundance.
C、Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D. 365.
D、Several small statues carved in styles current in Cyprus in the century between A. D. 300 and 400 were found in Kourion.
E、Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek alphabet that was definitely used in Cyprus after A. D. 365 were found in Kourion.
答案 B
解析 考古学家提出一种假说，认为Kourion是被已知于公元365年发生的一场地震摧毁的，由于选项(B)提供了证据表明公元365年是Kourion毁灭的时间，因此，B支持是公元365年的地震毁灭了Kourion这种假说，因此，(B)是正确答案；相比较而言，选项(A)、(D)和(E)都给出了关于在Kourion发现的或使用的文物的信息，但他们都没有特别指出公元365年是毁灭发生的时间，因此，(A)、(D)和(E)不合适；由于选项(C)支持了一项得到证实的观点，即公元365年发生了一场地震，因此(C)不合适
