In Greece, only rich people will rest in peace forever when they die. Most of the population, however, will be undisturbed for only three years, and then they will be dug up, washed, compressed into a small tin box, and placed in a bone room. If the body has only partially decayed, it is reburied in a smaller cheaper grave, but not for long. The body will be dug up again some time later when it has fully decayed. Buying a piece of land for a grave is the only way to avoid this process. The cost of the grave is so great that most people choose to rent the grave for three years and even after it has been dug up, lasting peace is still not guaranteed. Tf no one pays for renting space in the bone room, the skeleton is removed and stored in a building in a poor part of the town. Lack of space in Athens is the main reason why the dead are dug up after the three years. The city is so overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies are kept in the hospitals for over a week until a grave is found. Athens’s city council wants to introduce cremation, that is, burning dead bodies, as a means of dealing with the problems. But the Greek Church resists this practice. They believe the only place where people burn is hell, so burning dead bodies is against the Greek concept of life after death. To save space, the church suggested burying the bodies standing up instead of lying down. Some people proposed building multi-storey underground grave yards.
Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. What must Greeks do to keep the dead resting in ever-lasting peace?
17. Why are most dead bodies in Athens dug up after three years?
18. What suggestions does the church give about the burying of dead bodies?
19. What practice does the Greek Church object to?
选项
A、Rent a grave.
B、Bum the body.
C、Bury the dead near a church.
D、Buy a piece of land for a grave.
答案
D
解析
推理题。文章一开头就讲到“在希腊,只有富人死后才能得到永久安息。然而,大部分人死后享受安宁的时间只有3年……”以后会被挖出,要避免这样只有唯一的方法:“Buying a piece of land for agrave is the only way to avoid this process.”可以推断出买墓地。故答案为D。
