In September 1991, two German mountaineers were climbing in the Italian Alps(阿尔卑斯山) when they saw something lying in the ice. They were surprised when they realized that it was the body of a man. The two Germans guessed that the man had been another mountaineer. Many climbers had been killed in the Alps over the past 200 years, and sometimes their dead bodies were found after a long time.
When the two men got back to the nearest town, they reported what they had seen and the body was recovered. When doctors examined it to try to identify the man, they
discovered something surprising. The man was not a modern mountaineer, but a Bronze Age(青铜器时代) traveler who
lived more than 5,000 years before. He had died high up in the mountains and the freezing temperatures and thick ice kept his body perfect for thousands of years.
Scientists gave the Bronze Age man the name Otze and began to study him in detail. He was 1.57 meters tall and weighed 55 kilos when he was alive. When the Germans found the body, it was lying down near some rocks with the right arm across the face. Scientists guessed that Otze had died while trying to take shelter among the rocks. Perhaps he was covering his face with his arm to protect the snow and wind.
The ice had not only kept Otze’s body, but also the things he had been carrying with him. These gave the scientists exciting new information about the life thousands of years ago. Otze’s clothes, shoes and hat were made of animal skins, and his shoes were filled with grass to keep his feet warm. Scientists were even able to say what Otze had eaten for his last meal by examining the frozen remains in his stomach.
71. Two German mountaineers saw a wounded mountaineer lying in the ice. 72. A lot of mountaineers were killed by others when they were climbing the Alps. 73. People living in Bronze Age also liked climbing mountains.
74. The body was perfect for thousands of years because of freezing temperatures and thick ice. 75. One of the reasons for scientists to study Otze is to know more about the life of people thousands of years ago.
76. Otze’s shoes were so big for him that he filled them with grass.
77. Scientists knew what kind of person Otze was by studying the frozen remains in his stomach.
B. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 7分)
Travel is fun and exciting, but it’s not if you get sick. You may think, “Not me, I won’t get sick on my vacation.” But for many people, that is what happens.
A vacation is supposed to be a time for relaxing. But very often it is not. “What can I do when I am a tourist?” This is what we should often think about. Usually there are so
many places to visit: museums, shops, parks and churches. You may spend most days walking around these places. This can be very tiring. Your feet may hurt. And you may have a terrible headache after a few hours. If this is what you feel, you should take a rest. Don’t ask your body to do too much. A tired body means a weak body. And a weak body can make you get sick easily. Just sit down for a few hours in a nice spot. In good weather, look for a quiet park bench. Or you can rest at a café. You can learn a lot by watching people when you have a rest.
Sleep is also important. If you want to stay healthy you need enough sleep. You may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel. Your hotel room may be noisy, or the bed may be uncomfortable. If
that is true, don’t be afraid to change rooms or hotels. You may not get enough sleep for another reason. You may want to stay out late at night. In many cities the night life can be very exciting. Then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. That extra hour can make a big difference.
Finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat well. That means eating the right kinds of foods. Your body needs fresh fruit and vegetables, and some meat, milk or cheese. When you are in a new country you may want to try new foods but you need to be careful about how much you eat. Lots of rich food is not very good for you. 78. Traveling around can be _______. A) the best way to relax C) no fun
B) very tiring D) unhealthy B) change hotels D) take lots of medicine B) visiting their homes D) going to the shops B) eat more rich food D) go for a holiday B) Some meat, milk or cheese. D) Plenty of rich food.
