20、n in the passages below.Passage 1The very circumstances of the kind of life they led made it out of the question for the Huns ever to act as a huge, coherent army. The horde must not have counted many more than five thousand individuals. Such units, acting independently and not imbued with any parti

21、cular feeling of kinship and solidarity, could easily turn out fighting on opposite sides. When Huns fell on the Ostrogoths led by Ermanarics successor, Vithimiris, that was indeed the situation. Vithimiris had Hunnic mercenaries fighting for him on the Ostrogoth side.When the Huns arrived on the fr

22、ontiers of the Roman Empire, they were an unknown quantity. Our modern chatter about little green men in flying saucers is not too different from the popular reaction in the fourth century to Huns mounted on wiry horses. The Huns were indubitably frightening, not only because of their Mongoloid feat

23、ures, their wild clothing, and their language that practically no one understood. Also frightening was their ability to dart around with lightening speed which must have multiplied their actual numbers in the minds of their alarmed adversaries. Their tactics involved a pretense of scattered flight,

24、with quick reassembling and renewed attack. Then there were those deadly bows that they used. The Hunnic bow was a formidable wed, by anyones standards. Only a skilled professional could make bows, taking months on end to produce just one. The bow was a complete construction, with a stave made of se

25、veral carefully selected, cured and worked materials such as wood, sinew, and horn. The Huns handled them with terrifying precision. We know from ancient art how fierce a backward Parthian shot could look.If they shot arrows like Parthians and spoke a Turkish language and looked like Mongols, who we

26、re the Huns, and whence did they come? One clue is an extremely unattractive practice of theirs. They deliberately deformed the heads of their infants, the end result being anything but charming in the adult Hun. As Sidonius Apollinaris describes them, their heads are great round masses rising to a

27、narrow crown. The rest of Sidoniuss statement is couched in his usual tortured Latin, but scholars agree on the meaning: the Hunnic nose was flattened to make room for the helmets. In recent years statistical analysis has revealed that the earliest specimens of deformed skulls come from along the Ta

28、les River in Tien Shan; next in graves along the Volga; then in the Ukraine; the northern Caucasus, and the Crimea; then in Transcaucasia; and finally in Central Europe. This pattern reflects the movements of the Huns.Comprehension Questions:41. The paragraphs before this passage describea. the soci
