限时规范练10(必修2　Unit 5B)‎ 核心素养关键词:培养学生人与自然、探索未知自然的素养能力意识 ‎　限时规范练第20页　 ‎ 一、阅读理解 A The ruins of a huge Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR,according to the National Geographic on Thursday.‎ This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors,which can survey landscapes in 3D by bouncing laser pulses(激光脉冲) off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others.LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological sites,as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground.The technique has been the activator(催化剂)of many discoveries in recent years.For instance,major finds at Angkor,Cambodia and Caracol,Belize can explain what it did.‎ This large lost city envelops sites like Tikal,Holmul,and Witzna—known for their temples and pyramids—but shows that these famous heritage areas are the tip of the iceberg of this lost urban network.‎ Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve,more than 60,000 human-made features—homes,canals,highways,some of which can even reach the modernized standard—have been identified by an international cooperation of researchers headed by the PACUNAM Foundation,a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization.Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya empire.‎ These ancient people obviously established these imaginative cultures based on their known relics,but the new research has shown that the scale of this lost society is far beyond what experts had imagined.The findings will be explored in an hour-long documentary called “Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings,” premiering(首映) Tuesday,February 6 on the National Geographic Channel.‎ ‎“There are entire cities we didn’t know about now showing up in the survey data,” said Francisco Belli,one of the lead archeologists on the project.“There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities there that we don’t know about,and we will push the frontiers,” he added.‎ ‎【篇章导读】本文是说明文。《国家地理》杂志周四的一篇报道称,科学家们在激光探测与测量的帮助下,在危地马拉发现了一处巨大的玛雅“城市”遗迹。文章介绍了被发现的玛雅古城的一些情况。‎ ‎1.How does the author stress the importance of LiDAR sensors?‎ A.By giving examples.‎ B.By making a comparison.‎ C.By doing researches.‎ D.By listing an exception.‎ 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据第二段内容尤其是最后两句可知,本段主要介绍激光探测这项技术的作用。因为这项技术近年来有许多显著的发现,包括吴哥窟、柬埔寨和伯利兹城的主要发现。因此,文章主要是通过举例来强调其重要性的。‎ ‎2.What does the underlined word “Those” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A.The jungles of the Reserve.‎ B.The man-made projects of the Reserve.‎ C.The outlines of the Maya empire.‎ D.The researches of the organization.‎ 答案B 解析词义推测题。根据本段意思可知,隐藏在玛雅保护区的茂密丛林里,由PACUNAM基金会和研究人员从空中搜集的图像显示有超过6万多座房屋、宫殿和其他人造设施,甚至还有公路。这些让专家们重新思考玛雅帝国的规模和复杂性。因此,Those此处是指保护区内的人造设施。‎ ‎3.Which of the following words can best describe the Maya empire?‎ A.Enormous and controversial.‎ B.Imaginative and aggressive.‎ C.Famous and dangerous.‎ D.Vast and advanced.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据文章内容和倒数第二段可知,通过这些古人建造的遗址得知,他们有非常丰富的文化基础,但新的研究显示,这个社会的规模程度远远超出了专家们的想象。因此,综合可形容玛雅帝国是浩瀚巨大的和先进的。‎ ‎4.What do archeologists hope to do next?‎ A.They plan to restudy the history of Maya.‎ B.They will use the LiDAR sensors as usual.‎ C.They will continue to explore the unknown.‎ D.They plan to study the documentary carefully.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,国家地理探险家贝利是该项目的联合负责人,他说:“我们从不知道的城市群都在调查数据中出现,还有两万多平方千米需要探索,将有数百个我们不知道的城市在那里”。由此可知,他们接下来会继续探索未知的城市。‎ B France has the most beautiful castles throughout Europe.Here are some of the best French castles to visit.You’ll surely want to visit one of them during your travels in France.Have a look and enjoy!‎ Château de Versailles The Château de Versailles is about 20 kms southwest of Paris.When the castle was built,Versailles was a small village.Today,however,it is a famous area in Paris.The castle was built as a small hunting lodge (乡间小屋) for Louis
