5. 语法批改

The reading passage and the listening material are both talking about whether the marble bust which was found in the sediment of the Rhone River represented Julius Caesar. In the passage, it gives three opinions to support the fact that this bust actually belonged to Caesar. But the listening material holds three ideas against the reading passage.

In the beginning, the passage states that there is no flaw in the bust's appearance, which indicates that it used the realist sculpture's style, which was a prevalent style to make human bust in that time, to make the bust of Caesar. So, this bust represented Caesar. However, in the listening material, it points out that this realist sculpture's style has been preferred by the public for a number of centuries, which means this bust might be produced in later times. Hence, it was not the bust of Caesar.

On the other hand, an idea was claimed by the passage that this bust shared some similar features with other items which were made in the lifetime of Caesar. Caesar's depiction of money had the same hair stylehairstyle(hair style (hairstyle)) as the bust. But the listening material declares that the bust and the human depiction on coins only shared one similarity. The other features, such as nose and neck, were actually different. The human depiction's neck was longer than the bust.

In the end, the writer in the passage says that the Rhone River, where the bust was found, revealed that this bust belonged to Caesar. Since the change of king, it is dangerous for Roman citizens to keep Caesar bust. Thus, this bust was left in the Rhone River. Nevertheless, the professor in the listening material expresses that the statue which represented the god of ocean was also found next to the bust, which means the Rhone River is just a simple location where people used to dispose of their unnecessary items, further proving that it cannot be the bust of Caesar.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage and the listening material both discuss whether the marble bust found in the sediment of the Rhone River represents Julius Caesar. The passage presents three arguments supporting this claim, while the listening material offers counterarguments to each point.

Initially, the passage suggests that the bust's flawless appearance indicates it was created using the realist sculpture style prevalent during Caesar's time, implying that it represents him. However, the listening material counters this by stating that this style remained popular for centuries after Caesar's death, meaning the bust could have been produced later and not necessarily depict him.

Furthermore, the passage claims that similarities between this bust and other depictions of Caesar from his lifetime, such as a shared hairstyle with images on coins, support its authenticity. In contrast, the listening material argues that only one feature is consistent between these representations while others, like nose and neck shape, differ significantly. This inconsistency casts doubt on whether it truly portrays Caesar.

Lastly, the passage posits that finding the bust in Rhone River supports its connection to Caesar since Roman citizens might have disposed of it there due to political danger following his overthrow. However, the listening material refutes this by mentioning another statue found nearby - one of Neptune - which had no political reason for disposal. This suggests that Romans simply used rivers as dumping grounds for unwanted items and does not necessarily confirm any link between this particular bust and Julius Caesar. (248 words)
