問題詳情

請依下文回答第 40 題至第 43 題I have referred in passing to the difficult tasks assumed by the Greek Archaeological Service, and I hope that it willnot seem too presumptuous if I further enlarge on them. The unselective preservation of Greece’s material heritage, whichis a cause so estimable in principle that almost nobody would speak in public against it, has brought about another, lessobvious, crisis. The historically conscious visitors to Greece today are rightly impressed by the steady increase in thenumber of local museums and in the quality of exhibition. What they may not appreciate—and I think that this is trueeven of classicists and other “professionals” who are not archaeologists—is that what is actually displayed is merely thebeautiful tip of an unsightly iceberg. Almost every museum in Greece is compelled to conceal in its storerooms a mass,growing year by year at an alarming pace, of materials unsuited to exhibition; these artifacts are often undocumented andsometimes destined to remain so.If the Archaeological Service were rewarded, either in salaries or in manpower, on a scale that bears some faintrelation to the colossal contribution that its activities make to the nation’s tourist industry, then one could look ahead to apossible reduction of the pressure. If we cannot change the current policy, the only prospect is that it will rapidly increase:even to keep pace with the rate of growth in the “submerged nine-tenths” of its holdings, the service would need anincrease in manpower. Much of the material has to be stored in improvised accommodation, which proves to be difficultof access for researches; meanwhile, its keepers are distracted by the ever more persistent demands of emergencyexcavation.

(A)Eclectic
(B)Estimable
