解析：
推断题。文章内容中提到纸莎草碎片一般是在古代垃圾中找到，它们为不能在其他史料中找到的人们日常生活进行了描述。所以可知本文最后一句话是作者在暗示，如果该图书馆没有被烧毁，那么考古学家可能可以从中找到关于人们日常生活的记录，而不用去生活垃圾中寻找，故D项的表述是正确的。

  • 第7题：

    Some villagers were going to celebrate an important wine festival（酒宴）in a few days′time,so?they borrowed a huge barrel from the nearest town,put it in the village square,and decided that each?of them should empty a bottle of the best wine he had into it,so that there should be plenty at the?feast（宴会）.
    One of the villagers thought he would be very clever."If I pour a bottle of water in,instead of?wine,no one will notice it,"he said to himself,"because there will be so much excellent wine in the?barrel that?the water will be lost in it."
    The night of the feast arrived.Everybody gathered in the village square with their bowls and?their glasses for the wine.The tap（塞子）on the barrel was opened,but what came out was pure?water.Everyone in the village had had the same idea.

    The underlined sentence"the water will be lost in it"can be considered as__________.

    A.the water would be gone in the barrel
    B.the water couldn't be found in the wine
    C.the water would flow through the barrel into the ground
    D.the water would be mixed up with the wine

    答案：D
    解析：
    由第二段第二句可知他认为如果用一瓶水代替酒倒进去的活，没人会注：卷到。他这样认为的原因是“Ihe water will be lost in it”，由此推断出这句话的青外之意是一瓶水加进酒中二者会混合在一起。故选D项。

    填空题
    The boy passed the final exams. But if he had spent more time on them, the results (be) ____ much better.

    正确答案： would have been
    解析：
    本题考查虚拟语气。句意：这个小男孩通过了期终考试。但是如果他过去花费再多一些时间，考试成绩就会好更多。if引导的从句是过去完成时had spent，表示对过去事实进行虚拟，所以主句要用would/ could/ should/ might+have done，表示对现在事实的虚拟。所以答案是would have been。

    C.If I had had time, I would have studied French

    D.If I should have time, I would study French


    答案：B

    解析：条件句可分为两类，一类为真实条件句，一类为非真实条件句。非真实条件句表示的是假设或实际可能性不大的甚至完全不可能发生的情况，故采用虚拟语气。

    A选项中，if+主语+一般过去时表示与现在事实相反，为虚拟语气；B选项中，if引导的是一个一般现在时的条件状语从句，为真实条件句；C选项中，if+主语+had done表示与过去事实相反，为虚拟语气；D选项中，if+主语+should do表示与将来事实相反，为虚拟语气。题干意为：下列条件句中那个是真实条件，所以答案选B。

    B.It implied this division would not face a challenge.
    C.It implied this division would be respected forever.
    D.It implied the power of the Pope would never decline.

    答案：A
    解析：
    推理题。第三段的最后两句话指出“1494年，哥伦布首次远航美洲后的两年，教皇亚历山大六世就把这块大洋彼岸未曾勘探的世界分给西班牙和葡萄牙作为对他们业绩的褒奖(赏赐)并制止他们开战。只要其他国家依然信仰天主教，他们就会尊重这种瓜分”。题目中as long as是一个条件，一旦这个条件不存在，那就不会再尊重。另一方面也说明教皇不仅统治宗教，在其他方面也有至高无上的权力。所以B项“不会面临挑战”、C项“永远得到尊重”和D项“教皇权力永不衰退”均不符合题意。
