The Iceman
On a September day in 1991.two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass,they found the body of a man lying on the ice.At that height(10,499 feet, or 3,200 meters),the ice is usually permanent,but 1991 had been an especially warm year.The mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward.The skeleton(骨架)was in perfect condition,except for a wound in the head.There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes.The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots.Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark(树皮)and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions.Some people thought that it was from this century,perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I,since several soldiers had already been found in the area.A Swiss woman believed it might be her father who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found.The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older,maybe even a thousand years old.
With modern dating techniques,the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old.Born in about 3300 B.C.,he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe.At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains.More recent evidence,how ever,tells a different story.A new kind of X-ray shows all arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder.It left only a tiny hole in his skin,but it caused internal damage and bleeding.He almost certainly died from this wound,and not from the wound on the back of his head.This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle.It may have been part of a larger war,or he may have been fighting bandits.He may even have been a bandit himself.
By studying his clothes and tools,scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the times he lived in.We may never know the full story of how he died,but he has given us important clues to the history of those distant times.
All the following are assumptions once made about the Iceman EXCEPT
选项
A、he was a soldier in World War I.
B、he was a Swiss woman’s long-lost father.
C、he was born about a thousand years ago.
D、he came from Italy.
答案
D
解析
文中第三段是对冰人来历的猜测。有人认为他是一战的士兵;一个瑞士女人坚信冰人是她二十年前死在这些山里没找到尸体的父亲;科学家们认为他大概有一千年的历史了,故选D。
