答案： 1. A 提示:词义猜测题。该句主句表示“考古学家不仅要考虑它的外观,还要考虑它的材料和制作方法”,由此推断,此处 examining 表示“研究”。
2. D 提示:推理判断题。根据第二段中“Old pottery is usually found in pieces called ‘potsherds’.”和第三段中“To make clay easier to shape and heat, potters use something called ‘temper’.”可知,这两个词前面都用了 called,并在这两段中分别解释了这些单词。由此推断,用引号是为了给读者介绍这两个生词。
3. A 提示:细节理解题。根据第三段中“To make clay easier to shape and heat, potters use something called ‘temper’.”可知,是在陶土成型前回火。
4. B 提示:推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“An archaeologist can tell where a pot came from by the types of clay and temper that were used. Sometimes a pot found in one location might have materials from another place.”可知,考古学家可以通过陶器的陶土类型和回火来判断这件陶器的来源,有时在一个地方发现的罐子可能会用到来自另一个地方的材料。由此推断,该句“这可以提供人们如何交易或旅行的线索。”放在第三段末尾最合适。
5. C 提示:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了考古学家们通过研究出土的陶器来研究过去人们的生活。因此选项 C“古代陶器可以讲述制作和使用它 的人的生活.”正确。
