　　News Item One

　　A huge storm that collapsed part of a cliff on Israel's central coast led to the discovery of a statue dating back to the Roman period, the Israel Antiquities Authority said Tuesday. The white marble statue of a woman is estimated to be 2,000 years old. It stands 1.2 meters tall, weighs about 200 kilograms and was found with no head or arms, according to a news released by the authority. A person walking on the shore at Ashkelon on the west coast of Jerusalem made the discovery, the authority said. The statue fell into the sea when the cliff collapsed as a result of the storm. The collapse also ruined a bath house and mosaics that had been in the cliff for many hundreds of years. The storm, one of the strongest Israel has experienced in recent years, brought winds of more than 100 kph that sent 10-meter waves crashing into Israel's coast.

　　1.What can we learn about the condition of the statue?

　　2.Where was the marble statue found?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题1】B

　　【小题2】D

　　习题解析：

　　【小题1】新闻中提到The white marble statue of a woman is estimated to be 2,000 years old.可得知这个塑像不是近期的作品，A项可排除。由 It stands 1.2 meters tall, weighs about 200 kilograms, and was found with no head or arms，可以判断这个塑像不高，也并没有完全粉碎，因此C项和D项可排除。塑像没有头和手臂，说明它不完整，故答案为B项。

　　【小题2】新闻中提到A person walking on the shore at Ashkelon, on the west coast of Jerusalem, made the discovery, the authority said.由此可知，玉石雕像是在耶路撒冷的西海岸发现的，因此正确选项为 D。雕像原来是在悬崖上，但悬崖倒塌后掉到了海里，故排除干扰项C。
