But a new study suggests they u
45、sed a little rock n roll. Longago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.2“ ，” physicist Daniel Bonn said.3People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And theres no obvious answer. On average，each of the
46、two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.4The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have pu
47、t the blocks on sleds (滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated_the_paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.5Evidence from the sa
48、nd supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.6However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sle
49、ds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, Why dont they just try rolling the things？” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”7So he trie
50、d it.8He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.9They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the bloc
51、k along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery (滑的) path.10West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding.

54、.Arolling them on roadsBpushing them over the sandCsliding them on smooth pathsDdragging them on some poles解析：选C细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths.”可知，人们普遍接受的观点是埃及人是在光滑的道路上滑动石块的，故选C项。47The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragra
55、ph 4 means_.Amade the paths wetBmade the paths hardCmade the paths wideDmade the paths slippery解析：选D词义猜测题。根据第四段画线短语后面的“either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle”可推知，他们使用湿的黏土或牛的脂肪使道路变得光滑，这样才能更轻松地移动石块。48What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refer to?ARolling the blocks with poles at
56、tached.BRolling the blocks on wooden wheels.CRolling poles to move the blocks.DRolling the blocks with fat.解析：选A代词指代题。根据“So he tried it.”中的So一词可判断，it指代的内容应该在第六段。由文章第六段中的“A square could be turned into .make a block of stone a lot easier to roll than a square”可知，物理学家West提出，在石块四周捆绑上木棒可以使石块更容易滚动。因此他对这种方
57、法进行了尝试，故选A项。49Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?ABecause more force is needed for sliding.BBecause rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.CBecause sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.DBecause less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“At least, w
58、orkers wouldnt have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.”可知，用滚动的方法不需要带着牛的脂肪或水使道路变得光滑，也就是说对道路做的准备工作更少，故选D项。50What is the text mainly about?AAn experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.BAn application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.CAn argument ab
59、out different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.DAn introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.解析：选D主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了古埃及人搬运巨石建造金字塔可能用的更省力的办法，故选D项。为什么考有何价值导向解读一、发展思维品质文中第50题主要考查学生的概括性思维。文章第一段指出古埃及人很可能是利用把石块绑在圆木条上滚动前进的方法来修建金字塔的。接下来的几段作者又给出了另外一种观点：利用滑道滑动石块的方法运送石块。最后，
60、科学家利用试验的方法证明了滚动石块的优势。利用概括性思维即可得出文章的大意是对古埃及人搬运巨石建造金字塔的方法的介绍。A、B、C三个选项的侧重点分别是“方法的试验、运用和讨论”，仅涉及文章的部分内容，故排除。二、聚焦核心价值本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了古埃及人是如何搬运巨石的，旨在引导学生了解并关注世界文化遗产。文化遗产是历史和文化传承的重要载体。但很多文化遗产经历了成百上千年的岁月洗礼，面临年久失修、亟待保护的危急局面，而更重要的是很多文化遗产的重要历史和文化价值还没有得到充分的认识。文章的深层意义在于研究并保护文化遗产。就我国来说，优秀的文化遗产是中华民族优秀文化的核心，我们应该继承、保护
61、和发展，这也是我国新时代提出的一项要求。文中介绍的金字塔是著名的世界文化遗产之一，研究金字塔是如何建造的暗示了后人可以学习古人的智慧，为当今社会作出贡献。文章以此立意，符合时代要求。（三）借力真题发掘学习能力.单句语法填空1They had wooden (wood) fence stood around the house.2The biggest fish were six feet long and weighed (weigh) upwards of 200 pounds.3The boy slid (slide) down the bank into the water.4He dr
