Men seem to have always taken an interest in meteorites, but not until the early nineteenth century were these objects considered worth preserving for scientific study.
In the beginning, people believed that because meteorites fell from the heavens, they were either gods themselves or messages from the gods. Thus the more civilized of early men carefully kept the meteorites, drapping them in costly linens and anointing them with oil. In many instances, the people built special temples in which the meteorites were to be worshiped. Meteorite worship was common long in the Mediterranean area, and in Africa, India, Japan, and Mexico: such worship still persists in some regions.
Although many people held meteorites in reverence paritcularly if they were seen to fall, other practical minded individuals made good use of the durable and easily worked alloy provided by nature in the nickel-iron meteorites. They frequently used of this metal to make tools, and often pots and other utensils. Throughout history, meteoritic iron has been used in the manufacture of special swords, daggers, and knives for members of royalty. Attila and other early conquerors of Europe. boasted of "swords form heaven". As late as the end of nineteenth century, several swords were made from a Japanese iron meteorite at the command of a member of the Japanese court.
The men who first made use of meteoritic metal were ______.
选项
A、small isolated tribes
B、those who did not revere meteorites
C、nineteenth century scientists
D、warriors
答案
B
解析
本题问到首先使用陨石的是哪些人。这道题无法在文中找到现成的答案,因此须用排除法及推理的办法。文中第三段段首讲到:尽管许多人非常崇敬陨石,尤其是当他们看到陨石从天空落下的情景,而另一些实际、有头脑的人则开始利用镍铁陨石中提供的天然合金。因此,可排除选择项A和D;答案C“十九世纪的科学家”,文中并没有提到;答案B“那些不崇敬陨石的人”,文中虽没有直接说到,但从与崇敬陨石的人行为的对比,我们可确定,首先使用陨石的人就是不崇敬它的那些人。
