22、han has been supposed.42 未来的历史学家在写我们这一段历史的时候会别具一格。对于逐渐积累起来的庞大材料，他们几乎不知道选取哪些好，而且，也不必完全依赖文字材料。电影、录像、光盘和光盘驱动器只是能为他们提供令人眼花缭乱的大量信息的几种手段。他们能够身临其境般地观看我们做事，倾听我们讲话。但是，历史学家企图重现遥远的过去可是一项艰巨的任务，他们必须根据现有的不充分的线索进行推理。即使看起来微不足道的遗物，也可能揭示人类早期历史的一些有趣的内容。历史学家迄今认为日历是随农业的问世而出现的，因为当时人们面临着了解四季的实际需要，但近期科学研究发现，好像这种假设是不正确的。长期以

23、来，历史学家一直对雕刻在墙壁上、骨头上、古代长毛象的象牙上的点、线和形形色色的符号感到困惑不解。这些痕迹是游牧人留下的，他们生活在从公元前约35，000年到公元前10，000年的冰川期的末期，以狩猎、捕鱼为生。历史学家通过把世界各地留下的这种痕迹放在一起研究，终于弄懂了这种费解的代码。他们发现代码与昼夜更迭和月亮圆缺有关，事实上是一种最原始的日历。大家早就知道，画在墙上的狩猎图景并不是单纯的艺术表现形式，它们有着一定的含义，因为它们已接近古代人的文字形式。有时，这种图画与墙壁上的刻痕共存，它们之间可能有一定的联系。看来人类早就致力于探索四季变迁了，比人们想像的要早20,000年。43 8、（L

24、6-7）They will be able,as it were,to see and hear us in action.方式状语从句 1）定义：是说明主句动作方式的状语从句 关联词：as,like,as if,as though,the way,how-(Lesson40)The workmen told him to do as he pleased.44-You talk just like your father does.-She is doing the work the way I like it done.-她按我喜欢的方式在做这项工作。2）as 引导的方式状从和as 引导的定语从句易混淆，区别是，前者在从句中不充当任何成分，而后者相反，通常做主、宾或表语。45-正如我们所知道的那样，电话是贝尔的发明。-The telephone,as we know it,was the invention of Bell.（方式状从作插入语）-The telephone,as we know,was the invention of Bell.（定从作插入语，先行词是整句话，as做从句的宾语）46
