The ancient houses are at a site known as Durrington Walls.It is about 3.2 kilometres from Stonehenge.Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers.The village also had a wooden version of the stone circle.It may have been used by people attending festivals at Stonehenge. Eight of the houses have been dug up.Researchers say there may be as many as 25 of them.The wooden houses were square and about 5 metres along each side.There are signs that there were beds along the walls.There are also signs of a storage unit.The houses also had fireplaces. Two of the houses were separate from the others.They may have been the homes of community leaders.Researchers say those didn't have the household rubbish that was found in the other homes. Stone tools，animal bones，arrowheads and other things were found throughout the village site. Stonehenge is a popular tourist spot in England.It is a huge circle made out of stones，which were placed in a grass field in southern England.The stone arches were made with two stones at the bottom and one across the top.All of the stones weigh a lot more than a big car.Scientists have long wondered not only how people built Stonehenge，but also why. 【语篇解读】 研究人员在著名遗迹“巨石阵”附近发现了可能是巨石阵建造者所居住 的村落。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 2 1．The passage is mainly about ________． A．researchers working at Stonehenge B．a village site near Stonehenge C．the wooden version of Stonehenge D．builders of Stonehenge and the houses 解析：主旨大意题。文章第一段中第一句提到研究人员发现了著名遗迹“巨石阵”附近 的 一个村落遗址。它可能是“巨石阵”建造者们居住的村子。故 B 项概括全面。 答案：B 2．What were the ancient houses made of?
