Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes. Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in A.D. 365.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists' hypothesis?
(A) Bronze ceremonial drinking vessels that are often found in graves dating from years preceding and following A.D. 365 were also found in several graves near Kourion.
(B) No coins minted after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion, but coins minted before that year were found in abundance.
(C) Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D. 365.
(D) Several small statues carved in styles current in Cyprus in the century between A.D. 300 and 400 were found in Kourion.
(E)Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek alphabet that was definitely used in Cyprus after A.D. 365 were found in Kourion.
题目分析:A说在365年前后的vessels也在kourion附近的很多graves里面发现了,记说365年前也说365年之后,那就证明好像365这个年份发生的事情没什么影响了,不能支持那个假设,杀。B说一些东西(这些东西可以使coins也可以是别的,我可以随便编),在365年之后就没有了但是在365之前大量出现,那就证明365这个年份发生的事情产生了影响,沾边,留着。C说大多数历史故事提到了365这年发生了地震,没说过,杀。D说很多在cyprus发现的一些statues在kourion中也发现了,说的是这两个地方之间的关系,原文提的是365这年发生的地震和建筑物破换之间的关系,这个选项明显和原文谈的不是一回事,杀。E说365之后的kourion中我们发现了一些东西,这只是一个现象,发现就发现了,和365那个地震导致建筑物破坏有什么关系?杀。
