22、. 1 Two of the islands,now known as the Garip Islands,are still there. However,the third island,an important stopping point on ancient trade routes,no longer appeared on maps made after the 16th century.No one knew why. Geo-archaeologists have helped solve the mystery. 2 New evidence suggests that t
23、his former island is a mainland peninsula(半岛) now.Thats almost completely surrounded by water. 3 At one time,a channel between two areas of land separated(分开) the island and mainland.“The original channel was blocked out,” said Felix Pirson,the leader of the study.That means the space between the is
24、land and the mainland was filled with materials carried by running water.Thats how the peninsula formed. 4 For scientists,this suggests that the land there had formed somewhat recently,perhaps because of the earthquakes. The scientists are looking forward to doing further testing. 5 They said that t

26、name to the peninsula. D.These islands were all located off the coast of modern-day Turkey. E.The lost island is believed to be the site where the famous battle of Arginusae took place. F.Instead of finding solid ground,the geo-archaeologists discovered loose soil and rock. G.They hope to figure out
