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
10、s 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 res
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
