Ancient remains found in the Mongolian steppe(大草原)suggest that the story of the female soldier Mulan may have been inspired by real Xianbei women who ___36___(ride) horseback and probably also used bows and arrows.
According to the folktale a ___37___(power)ruler demanded every family send one man to join his army,and a girl ___38___ (name) Mulan faced a difficult choice: ___39___ let her weak father go to war or take his place.Now it seems there may be ____40____(true)to this age-old story of Mulan.
Christine Lee and Yahaira Gonzalez examined skeletons(骷髅)from 9 ancient burials across Mongolia.Three of the skeletons belonged to Xianbei women-and two were potentially soldiers.Lee and Gonzalez reached this conclusion partly due to the nature of marks left on the bones ___41___ muscles were once attached to.The marks are larger if the muscle was heavily used,and the pattern of marks on both women' s skeletons suggests they had routinely worked the muscles someone on horseback would use.There are also___42___(indicate)that they practised archery(射箭).
Lee was surprised by the discovery."The number of women allowed to participate in these activities must have been really small,"she said, ___43___(add)that Mongolian history suggests that it was rare for women to do either.
Markings on three other skeletons indicate that Xiongnu women may also have engaged in archery and horseback riding ___44___ a limited degree.Another three skeletons indicate that Turkic women ___45___(obvious)didn't practise archery,although they seem to have spent a limited amount of time riding horses.

【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:在蒙古大草原上发现的古代遗迹表明,女兵木兰的故事可能是受到真正的鲜卑女性的启发,这些女性会骑马,也可能会使用弓箭。空处并列连词and连接两个并列的成分,根据空后 used可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时,表示过去发生的事情,ride的过去式为rode。故填rode。
