66、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.B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.D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
67、和先进的。4.C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。B5.C由Chteau de Versailles部分中的“The castle was built as a small hunting lodge for Louis in the 1620s”可知答案。6.B由Chteau de Chambord部分中的“It is one of the worlds most well-known ca
68、stles in the world because of its French Renaissance building”可知,该城堡的特别之处在于其独特的建筑风格。7.C由Chteau de Chenonceau部分中的“The castle was not destroyed during the French Revolution because it was the only bridge across the river for many miles”可知,该城堡没有遭到破坏是因为它的重要性。8.B由Chteau de Chantilly部分中的“Every two years a
69、 fireworks competition is held in the castle gardens”可知,该城堡每两年举办一次烟火比赛。C1.D根据上下文语境可知,作者和丈夫“轮换(take ones turn)”开车。2.D由下文中的“My son,full of energy,was wide awake”可推断,丈夫和女儿“睡(slept)”着了。3.B作者在夜晚开车,因此“需要(needed)”保持清醒。4.C由下文中的“I asked him to talk to me”可知,作者不想通过“播放(play)”收音机使自己清醒。5.C上文中的“to stay awake”对本空有
70、提示。6.A由下文作者的回答可知,此处作者的儿子问她想“讨论(discuss)”什么。7.D由下文作者的儿子引出话题可知,作者愿意谈论“任何(anything)”她的儿子想谈论的话题。8.B由本句中的“for the next hour or so we talked about”可知,作者认为这个话题很“好(fine)”。9.C由本句中的“frogs and toads”以及生活常识可知,这里谈论的是它们的“不同(differences)”。10.B由本句中的“basketball and soccer”可知,此处谈论的是两个“运动(sports)”项目。11.A根据上下文语境可知,儿子对谈
71、论球星的话题很“感兴趣(interested)”。12.B由本句中的“but wed continue to talk”可知,作者的儿子有时候会暂“停(stop)”谈话。13.A根据上文中的“we were on a late night family cartrip”可知,作者开夜车,行驶在“黑暗的(dark)”道路上。14.D由本句中的“the bright lights woke everyone”可推断,作者一家“到达了(arrived)”目的地。15.C由下文中的“But I knew that I had taken the first step toward changing”可知,虽然谈话的魔力“消失(disappeared)”了,但作者收获了很多,并且开始改变。
