Tragic Life: Comments on The Daughter of the Late Colonel

《已故上校的女儿》是英国著名短篇小说家曼斯菲尔德所著的一部短篇小说,主要描述了一对姐妹在独裁专政的父亲死后所过的彷徨孤独的生活。曼斯菲尔德用作品表达了从二十世纪初到二次世界大战前混乱的西方社会中对个人命运的关切。本文分析并探讨了导致姐妹俩悲剧生活的根源,指出小说的悲剧主题及独特的写作技巧使其能够经受住时间的考验,并保持醉人的艺术魅力。     

中国北方晚新生代红粘土研究之若干问题

对于中国北方地区晚第三纪以来沉积的红粘土的成因,近年来不少学者通过对其粒度、地球化学及古生物等替代性指标的研究,认为该套沉积物为风尘沉积.通过大量野外考察、理论与室内分析测定,认为粒度、地球化学等指标存有多解性,而古生物证据与所谓风成的干旱化环境不相一致,上述指标并不足以成为红粘土风成的确凿证据因此,进一步深入研究相关替代性指标的研究是今后努力的方向,对红粘土成因的确认不能仅局限于青藏高原的可能影响,全球环境的变化才有可能是解决问题的关键途径.参17.     

青藏高原东南部地貌边界带晚新生代构造运动

青藏高原是中国大陆最高一级地貌阶梯,其东南部地貌边界大致沿龙门山—大相岭—锦屏山—玉龙山—碧罗雪山一线分布。该文主要从青藏高原东南部地貌边界两侧的晚新生代地层记录来探讨晚新生代构造运动以及高原隆升。青藏高原东南部地貌边界带雏形出现于距今２．５Ｍａ左右,定型于１．２Ｍａ前的构造运动中,之后又在构造运动进程中不断得到加强,并最终形成今日之构造地貌格局。青藏高原从海变陆,并上升至平均海拔４５００ｍ以上,成为地球上最高的大高原,这是发生在晚新生代且主要是在第四纪最重大的地质事件。     

福建晚石炭世及早二叠世四射珊瑚新属种的发现

记述了福建西部龙岩、宁化等地晚石炭世及早二叠世地层中发现的四射珊瑚５个新属及其典型种。它们分别是：黄龙组的Ｙｉｎｏｐｈｙｌｌｕｍ ｃｒａｓｓｕｓ，Ｎｉｎｇｈｕａｐｈｙｌｌｕｍ ｔｙｐｉｃｕｍ，马平阶的Ｐｓｅｕｄｏｂｏｔｈｒｏｐｈｙｌｌｕｍ ｆｕｊｉａｎｅｎｓｅ，Ｐａｒａａｎｔｈｅｒｉａ ｉｒｒｅｇｕｌａｒｉｓ，Ｊｉｎｇｙａｎｇｏｐｈｙｌｌｕｍ。     

120-150 ka human tooth and ivory engravings from Xinglongdong Cave, Three Gorges Region, South China

Rich paleoanthropological materials were unearthed in primary context from the Xinglongdong Cave in Fengjie County, Chongqing, South China, including a human tooth, numerous mammalian fossils, some stone artifacts and a Stegodon tusk exhibiting intentional engravings.Based on biostratigraphic data and uranium series dating,the cave was utilized as a human shelter about 120000-150000 years ago. It is the first time that an archaic Homo sapiens fossil has been unearthed from the Three Gorges Region. Engravings on the Stegodon tusk appear in groups,making up simple and abstract images. It is the earliest known engravings created by human beings; it exhibits great potential for the study of the origin of art and the development of ancient cultures in south China and bears important implications for the origin of modern humans in East Asia.     

A preliminary report on the newly found Tianyuan Cave, a Late Pleistocene human fossil site near Zhoukoudian

The Tianyuan Cave is the only human fossil-bearing site containing rich mammalian fossils found in the last decades near Zhoukoudian. Up to now more than 34 specimens of the human body have been recovered, and the mammalian fossils can be put into 29 species. Cervids dominate the fauna, and carnivores are very rare. Based on the primary examination, the human fossils can be attributed to the species Homo sapiens. All the mammalian fossils, except one between tooth of Crocuta belong to the species that still exist today. But some of them are the first records in fossil form north of the Yellow River, such as Arctonyx and Capricornis. Based on the mammalian fauna study, it seems that the Tianyuan Cave can be correlated with the Upper Cave.Sixty-three percent of the species of the mammalian fauna from the Tianyuan Cave are also present in the Upper Cave.The characters of the deposits also share some similarities between the Tianyuan Cave and the Upper Cave; both of them are mainly composed of breccia without cement. The dating using the U-series method on deer tooth samples indicates that the geological age of the new site is around 25 thousand years B.P. This is the first discovery of human sites outside the core area of the Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian,which throws new light onto this world famous site complex.     

晚唐隐逸冲淡诗派初探

晚唐诗人皮日休、陆龟蒙、杜苟鹤、方干、郑谷、曹邱、司空图等人面对末世衰代，胸有大志，却无用武之地。他们尽管思想和人生态度有别，但其悲观心理与绝望情绪是一致的。他们提倡隐逸冲淡文学，书忧愤于江湖隐逸之别途，系淡漠于山水田园之致景，构成了晚唐诗坛一个涵盖面更为广泛的诗歌流派——隐逸冲淡诗派，代表了中国后期封建社会开始时代一部分士大夫文人于无奈之中消极避世的社会心态和审美情趣。     

龙潭楔叶的再研究——兼论华南晚泥盆世楔叶目的演化

基于安徽省巢湖市狮子口剖面上泥盆统(法门阶)五通组的标本,对龙潭楔叶Sphenophyllum lungtanense Gothan et Sze的叶形和脉式等重要特征取得了新认识。华南晚泥盆世楔叶目的起源和演化分异模式不同于劳俄大陆的同类植物,它们兼有原始和进化的营养器官(枝状、线状或片状叶)和生殖器官(缺少或具有孢子叶),显示出较高的形态多样性和镶嵌演化。     

从孢粉推测上海地区晚第四纪以来的植被、环境演变

通过对上海地区斜土路2号孔晚第四纪地层的孢粉研究，划分出了晚第四纪8个孢粉组合带，并结合邻近钻孔孢粉研究资料，恢复了该区植被演替、气候波动的六个阶段，这种气候波动不仅与世界性气候变化一致，而且其波动曲线也与海平面变化相吻合，从而为本地区进行地层年代划分和对比提供可靠的证据，为本地区晚第四纪古植被、古气候、古环境的重建提供了丰富的孢粉学资料。
