Mycenae strands on a hill skirted by two deep ravines. The site is a natural strong point, dominating the plain or Argos. It was first occupied about 3000 B.C. and a new settlement was made about 2000 B.C., which is generally believed to be the time when Greek speakers arrived in Greece. There is clear evidence for a sudden increase in the important and prosperity of this settlement about 1600 B.C., two grave circles have been found, one inside the later walls and containing six shaft graves, excavated by Schliemann in the 1870’s, the other rather earlier in date,(outside the walls, discovered in 1950. These graves contained a mass of gold and other precious objects of great beauty, including import from Minoan Crete and Egypt.
The power and wealth of Mycenae increased rapidly. There was soon a uniform culture in mainland Greece, stretching from Thessaly in the north to the south of the Peloponnesus, with palaces at Thebes, Athens, Mycenae, Tiryns, and Pylos and probably at other sites not yet discovered. Although the palaces were the administrative centers of separate kingdoms, it seem likely that Mycenae was the leading, if not the dominated, kingdom. From 1500 B.C., the kings of Mycenae were buried in massive stone tombs outside the walls, of which the largest, the so-caller Treasury of Atreus, is a magnificent architectural achievement. About 1450 B.C. the Achaeans, as the Greeks of the Mycenaean period were called, invaded Crete and destroyed all the Minoan palaces except Knossos, which they occupied. Succeeding to and made settlements on the islands and in Asia Minor. The zenith of Mycenaean power and prosperity was in the early thirteenth century; in this period were built the walls, some of which still stand, and the lion gate, by about 1250 B.C., when the defenses were renewed and improved, there is evidence of destruction outside the walls. Trade declined; a period of upheaval and deterioration had begun. Tile Trojan War is thought to have occurred about this time. The traditional date for the fall of Troy is 1184 B.C., but the American archaeologist Blegen, who made the most complete recent excavations and found clear evidence of a prolonged siege, date the destruction of Troy to about 1240 B.C.. It looks as though the Trojan expedition was the last united effort of the Achaeans.
Mycenae was subjected to three successive attacks in the following years. In the first, the houses outside the walls were destroyed; in the second, the citadel was sacked; in the third, it was finally destroyed and not reoccupied. The other mainland palaces were all sacked around 1200 B.C., presumably by bands of invading Dorian. [br] According to the passage, were the people of the Peloponnesus united, and if so, where was the seat of power located?
选项
A、No, they weren’t. The Peloponnesus was a collection of kingdom with various administrative centers, but it would appear that Mycenae was a dominate and perhaps a leading kingdom.
B、Yes, they were united under Mycenae.
C、Yes, although there were a number of administrative centers of separate kingdoms, Mycenae was the leader of the Peloponnesus.
D、Both B and C
答案
C
解析
本题为细节分析题。依据第二段“There was soon a uniform culture in mainland Greece,stretching from Thessaly in the north to the south of the Peloponnesus,with palaces at Thebes,Athens,Mycenae,Tiryns,and Pylos and probably at other sites not yet discovered.Although the palaces were the administrative centers of separate kingdoms,it seem likely thatMycenae was the leading,if not the dominated,kingdom.”可知,从希腊内陆一直到北边的塞萨利和南边的伯罗奔尼撒半岛,出现了统一文化,尽管伯罗奔尼撒半岛是由独立的王国组成的多个行政中心。即使迈锡尼不是主导性的,也是主要的王国。C选项符合原文意思。而A选项说“没有”,与原文意思正好相反。B说他们联合在迈锡尼周围,不符合原文意思。因此,C选项正确。
