A leading expert on ancient mountain cultures has a theory about a man who died more than 5000 years ago. The man’s body was found in a piece of ice high in the Alps in northern Italy in 1991. Newspapers called him the Iceman.
Two German climbers discovered the Iceman more than 3000 meters above sea level. Ice had protected the body for thousands of years. It was the oldest and best preserved ancient body ever found. When the Iceman was discovered, some scientists suggested that he had fallen asleep and died in the snow or was killed in a fall. A bow and arrows were found with the Iceman. This led some people to believe that he died while hunting animals.
Recently, scientists announced the cause of death. The scientists used X-rey equipment to produce images of the Iceman’s upper chest. They found an arrowhead under the left shoulder. Scientists said he was killed by an arrow that tore through his back. They thought the killing might have been either a murder or an offering to the gods. The body was found in a long, narrow area between two of the highest mountains in the Alps. This is the kind of place where people from mountain cultures traditionally made offerings to their gods.
What is the passage mainly about?
Why did scientists suggest the Iceman might ha killed as an offering to the gods?
选项
A、Because he died 5000 years ago in the mountain.
B、Because scientists found an arrowhead under his shoulder.
C、Because he was killed in a fall while hunting animals.
D、Because his body was discovered in an area between two high mountains.
答案
D
解析
本题问“为什么科学家暗示‘雪人’有可能是作为给神的祭品而被杀?”短文最后说到,The body was found in a long,narrow area between two of the highest mountains in the Alps. This is the kind of place where people from mountain cultures traditionally made offerings to their gods.(“雪人”的尸体是在阿尔卑斯最高的两座山峰之间的狭长地带被发现的,而这种地方是山区人传统的向神献祭的地点。)据此可以断定[D]“因为尸体是在两座山峰的中间地带发现的”正确。
