Ⅰ.阅读理解 Egypt is home to more than 100 pyramids，including the landmark Giza pyramid which is the last-standing ancient wonder of the world.It is an example of the wisdom and skills of ancient development.The Great Pyramid of Giza has stood tall since the 26th Century BC，and took 27 years to build，with around 2.3 million blocks of stone weighing 6 million tons. Giza is actually made up of three pyramids，Khufu，Khafre，and Menkaure—each one is named after a pharaoh(法老)．Now，scientists are using High Energy Physics to scan(扫描) the Khufu structure at Giza.The new technology scans deeper into the pyramid than before，and then maps its inside structure. What we see now is only the central structure of the Great Pyramid.Although the pyramid has been studied closely for centuries，there are two mysterious holes that have kept archaeologists puzzled. One is around 98 feet long and 20 feet high and could be one large space or several rooms，according to scans of the pyramid，while the other is much smaller，just beyond the north face of the pyramid.Archaeologists are not sure what either space functioned as; the most exciting possibility is that the larger space is the hidden room to keep Khufu，who governed from around 2551 BC to 2528 BC. Finding holes in pyramids isn’t unusual，though.Nowadays，though，we have the technology to find out，compared to days gone by when examinations would have to blow up the pyramids to explore. “Since the instruments that are used are very large，they cannot be placed inside the pyramid，and therefore our approach is to put them outside and meticulously move them along the base.In this way，we can build up the required data set，” the team wrote in the paper.The technology is so precise that scientists may be able to even tell objects within the hole. 1．What can be learned about the Great Pyramid of Giza A．It is named after a pharaoh.
