问题     Archaeologists have long thought that stone ships served as graves for one or several individuals, and have even been viewed as death ships【C1】______ to take the dead to living eternally. However, a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows a different picture. It suggests Bronze Age stone monuments in the form of ships were built by sailors as a symbol of their practices at sea.
    The study indicates that the stone ships and the activities that took place there point to people who were【C2】______ focused on practices at sea. Details found within the stone structures show they were built to【C3】______ real ships. The stone ships offer up【C4】______ about the ship-building techniques of the time and about the ships that sailed on the Baltic Sea during the Bronze Age.
    "These consist of areas that resemble hill forts and are located near easily【C5】______ points in the landscape—that is, near well-known waterways leading inland," Wehlin, head of the team, said. "While these areas have previously been thought to be much younger, recent age【C6】______ have dated them to the Bronze Age."
    Archaeologists have believed that bronze was【C7】______ to Scandinavia from the south, and recent analyses have helped confirm this【C8】______ However, the people who distributed the bronze objects are【C9】______ addressed in these thoughts.
    "One reason why the meeting places of the Bronze Age are not discussed very often is that we haven’t been able to find them," Wehlin said. "This is in【C10】______ contrast to the trading places of the Viking Age, which have been easy to locate as they left behind such rich archaeological material."
A) majorly B) represent C) evacuate D) rarely
E) determinations F) clues G) anticipated H) inquiries
I) intended J) approximately K) accessible L) notion
M) inevitable N) immense O) imported
【C6】
选项
答案E
解析 空格所在句子由两个分句组成，前一个分句指出人们原先认为那些地区存在的年代并不久远(much younger)，而后一分句指出可以追溯到青铜器时代。空格前的age不能和动词date搭配，可见age不是主语，空格处应填入名词，故选用determinations一词，age determinations表示“年代测定”。
