中小学教育资源及组卷应用平台 备战2026年中考时文阅读4 文章导读 阅读理解 A篇： 在墨西哥发现一座失落的玛雅城市 B篇： 中国天眼之父”南仁东 C 篇： 中国部分城市将BMI纳入中考体育测试 D篇： 龙虾--从 "廉价生存食物" 到 "奢华美食和文化象征" A In Mexico, Luke and a team of scientists discovered a lost Maya city. It was covered by thick forests for centuries.The Maya lived there over 1,000 years ago. They were good at farming, writing, math and building amazing stone buildings like temples and palaces. _____ The main reason was that most work had to be done by hand to make a discovery. Scientists had to cut down overgrown plants as they walked through the forest. It was hard and took lots of time. Later, a technology, LiDAR, makes it possible for scientists to discover hidden ancient villages more easily. To use LiDAR, scientists fly a tiny flying machine over an area. The machine sends out thousands of laser beams (激光束). By recording how long it takes for the beams to return to the machine, scientists can make a 3D map of the ground below. This way, scientists can further study the remains long before they finally enter them. However, Luke’s team was not able to use LiDAR because it was too expensive. Luckily, Luke found a 2013 LiDAR map online made by other researchers. When Luke and his team studied the information, they were surprised to find thousands of Maya structures (建筑) which made a large city. The city even had a field for ancient Mayan ball games. Luke believes that their discovery means there is a lot more to discovery in that area. They plan to enter the newly discovered city to continue their research. “Maya cities are completely different from modern ones,” Luke said. “Studying them can give us ideas to make our cities better.” 1．Which of the following can be put in the _____ in Paragraph 2 A．When did Luke make this important discovery B．Why did the city remain undiscovered for so long C．How long did it take for scientists to discover the city D．What difficulties did scientists have during the process 2．What does the underlined word “the remains” mean in Paragraph 3 A．3D maps.
