8、doestheauthorstresstheimportanceofLiDARsensors?A.Bygivingexamples.B.Bymakingacomparison.C.Bydoingresearches.D.Bylistinganexception.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?
9、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 word

11、tudy 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。BFrance has the most b
