(2020·成都市三诊)
Archaeology (考古学) isn't the dusty science it was a generation ago. New technologies that once seemed out of science fiction are now locating buried traces of buildings and revealing the ruins of cities.
For more than a decade, Sarah Parcak and her team have been in the front line of this revolution. They use satellite images to find and explore ancient sites around the globe. Now they're about to take on a new challenge as they focus the GlobalXplorer citizen-science project on India.
In 2017, Parcak launched an online platform, called GlobalXplorer, to crowdsource (众包) the initial assessment of satellite images for signs of cultures from long ago. Anyone in the world with a computer and Internet access could help discover and protect remains of Peru's rich cultural heritage. The results have been surprising. About 80,000 participants from a hundred countries have identified 19,000 sites that were not in Peru's database. The platform for Peru is still running.
If all goes well, the work in India could last for years. “India has had relatively little archaeological work done，” Parcak said. Also, the full extent of India's archaeological work has never been mapped completely. Parcak expects her project to make up that. “Wherever we end up going, the crowd's going to be able to see extraordinary things，” Parcak said.
Thirty-six India's cultural heritage relics are already listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Parcak thinks there could be tens of thousands of as yet unknown sites mapped as part of this project. The discoveries promise to be amazing across the land that has seen a parade of cultures come and go.
In the future, she hopes other countries will contact her to launch their own satellite surveys. The possibilities are huge. Parcak estimates that there are at least 12 million potential archaeological sites yet to be discovered. That means the sky is the limit for her project now that it has got off the ground successfully.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Sarah Parcak和她的团队在2017年启动了一个名为GlobalXplorer的在线平台，以众包的形式对卫星图像进行初步评估，从而在全球各地寻找和探索古代遗址。现在他们将在印度进行他们的考古项目。
1．What's the purpose of Parcak's project？ D
A．To interview citizens via the Internet.
B．To make more remains be World Heritage Sites.
C．To build databases for unknown cultural heritage.
D．To identify unknown ancient sites through joint efforts.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“to crowdsource (众包) the initial assessment of satellite images for signs of cultures from long ago”可知，这个项目的目的是通过共同努力发现未知的古代遗址。故D项正确。
2．What do we know about the participants in Peru project？ A
A. They are Internet-equipped volunteers.
B．They are well-trained voluntary scholars.
C．They are mostly fans of archaeology in Peru.
D．They are all archaeologists all over the world.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Anyone in the world with a computer and Internet access could help discover and protect remains of Peru's rich cultural heritage.”可知，世界上任何一个有电脑和互联网接入的人都可以帮助发现和保护秘鲁丰富的文化遗产遗迹。故A项正确。
3．Why is Parcak's project important to India？ A
A. India lacks thorough archaeological work.
B．Indians call for the protection of their rich culture.
C．There's no amazing archaeological discovery in India.
D．India needs more relics listed as World Heritage Sites.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，印度已完成的考古工作相对较少，且印度的考古工作的全部范围从未被完全绘制出来，而Parcak期望她的项目能弥补这一点，因此该项目对印度是重要的。故A项正确。
4．What does the underlined sentence “The possibilities are huge” in Paragraph 6 mean？ D
A．Parcak's project will become successful.
B．Few countries will start satellite surveys.
C．There will be amazing discoveries in India.
D．More archaeological sites will be identified.
解析：句意理解题。画线句上一句提到“未来，Parcak希望其他国家能联系她，发起他们自己的卫星调查”；后一句提到“Farcak估计至少还有1 200万处潜在的考古遗址有待发现”。由此可推知，画线句“可能性是巨大的”言外之意是“更多的考古遗址将被发现”，故D项正确。

(2020·山东高考信息卷)
The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60, 000 human-made features—homes, canals, highways, and more—have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的) images collected by some international researchers headed by the PACUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.
These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹), but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called “Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings”， to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological (考古的) sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala's lowlands with it.
“There are entire cities we didn't know about now showing up in the survey data，” Francisco Estrada-Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo's coming documentary. “There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don't know about, and we will push back the frontiers with the technology，” he added.
文章大意：本文是文明文。在LiDAR技术的帮助下，考古学家在危地马拉发现了一座巨大的玛雅城的废墟。
5．What does the underlined word “Those” in paragraph 2 refer to？ B
A．Jungles.
B．Human-made features.
C．Researchers.
D．Aerial images.
解析：代词指代题。根据画线词上文内容可知，隐藏在玛雅生物圈保护区丛林下的人造景观，包括房屋、运河、公路等，让专家们重新思考玛雅帝国的轮廓和复杂性，故Those指Human-made features。
6．What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4？ D
A．The working principle of LiDAR sensors.
B．The process of researching Maya civilization.
C．Great importance of Guatemala's lowlands.
D．LiDAR's contribution to discovering the relics.
解析：段落大意题。根据该段中的“This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors”“The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years.”可知，作者在本段主要介绍了LiDAR技术在发现遗址方面起到的重大作用，旨在突出这一技术的贡献和重要性。故选D项。
7．Which words can best describe the lost Maya city？ C
A．Small and hidden.
B．Famous and high-tech.
C．Vast and complex.
D．Fully-explored and imaginative.
解析：推理判断题。根据首段中的“This lost city envelops sites like Tikal，Holmul，and Witzna，but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.”和第三段中的“thesize of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined”及最后一段中的 “There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don't know about”，可判断，玛雅城是广袤的；根据第二段中的“more than 60,000 human-made features—homes，canals，highways，and more—have been identified...Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.”可判断，玛雅城是复杂的。故选项C正确。
8．What will the archeologists do next？ A
A．Continue to explore the unknown.
B．Upgrade the LiDAR technology.
C．Study the documentary carefully.
D．Build a massive urban network.
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored...and we will push back the frontiers with the technology”可推知，这些考古学家们将继续利用这一技术开拓新的领域，探索未知的地方。

1．考查细节支撑句。根据本段的主题句“Keep positive.”及空后的“Optimists have a 35% less chance of having a heart attack or stroke...and even live longer”“allowing you to learn and grow.”可知，本段主要讲的是要保持乐观，空后内容说明了保持乐观的好处。故C项符合语境。
2．考查细节支撑句。根据本段的主题句“Start volunteering.”可知，本段主要讲的是要开始志愿服务，再结合“It can reduce the risk of cognitive(认知的)disorder.It can even help us live longer.”等内容可知，空处所填内容应与“志愿服务及其益处”有关。故G项符合语境。
3．考查承上启下句。根据空前的“One of the best ways to make thankfulness a part of your life is to keep a journal.”可知，让感恩成为生活的一部分的最佳方式之一是写日记，因此，空处内容应与写日记有关。再结合空后的“Keeping gratitude and recording your good deeds may help you live happily.”可知，所记录的内容应是感恩之事、善行等积极的体验。故E项符合语境。
4．考查段落主旨句。根据空后的内容，尤其是“People who are more socially connected with family，friends and the community are happier.”可知，此处主要强调了社会关系的重要性。故B项符合语境。
5．考查细节支撑句。根据空前的“They're physically healthier，and they live longer...High-conflict marriages，without much affection，turn out to be very bad for health”可知，有良好的社会关系的人更健康，活得更久，高冲突的婚姻有害健康，因此空处内容应陈述另一种情况，即良好的社会关系有益健康。故D项符合语境。

文章大意：本文介绍了秦始皇兵马俑的发掘和保护。
解析：
1．考查非谓语动词。主语The Terracotta Warriors与动词know之间存在被动关系，故用过去分词短语作后置定语。

文章大意：这是一篇议论文。作者表达了自己对父母的感激之情。
解析：
1．考查倒装句。句意：父母不仅给了我们生命，而且给了我们无尽的爱和支持，总是分享我们的快乐和悲伤。not only放句首，句子要部分倒装，把助动词放在主语前面。故our前面添加do。

文章大意：这是一篇议论文。卢浮宫在经历2017年游客数量骤减后，2018年游客数量又迎来了小幅增长。游客数量回升虽然给卢浮宫带来了好名誉，但也造成了问题，导致工作人员罢工，游客滞留宫殿外。
1．A.Moreover B．However
C．Finally D．Eventually
解析：句意：巴黎的卢浮宫再一次被评为世界最受欢迎的博物馆，然而，这对它来说或许不是件好事。根据下文的“The Louvre is suffocating (令人窒息的)，”the workers union said in a statement. “The public has increased by more than 20% since 2009, but the palace has not grown，”(卢浮宫令人窒息，自2009年来参观的公众上涨了20%，但是这个宫殿没有变大)可知，下文陈述的内容是卢浮宫不好的一面，故此处前后句用转折关系。故选B项。

解析：句意：卢浮宫游客的小幅增长证明对于工作人员来说人还是太多，接待和保安人员因大批游客涌入而举行的罢工影响了卢浮宫本周的开放时间。acquiring获得；suffering遭受；blaming责备；proving证明。联系上下文，游客的增长反映了游客过多工作人员过少的问题，选项中和“反应”最接近的是prove(证明)。故选D项。
6．A.strikes B．quarrels
C．fights D．contests
解析：根据“hit opening hours throughout the week”(影响了开放时间)可推测出，工作人员罢工。故选A项。

13．A.die out B．pay off
C．fade away D．go on
解析：句意：尽管与工作人员的紧张关系仍在继续，但博物馆的最低营业额是健康的。故选D项。
14．A.healthy B．funny
C．tiny D．cozy
解析：根据“The Louvre broke its 2012 15 record last year”(卢浮宫打破了2012年的参观记录)可知，博物馆营业情况良好。故选A项。

(2021·成都市摸底)
When visitors to the Palace Museum feel a need to sit down for a cup of tea or find a bathroom without a long line, they soon will be able to turn to their smart phones for the information they need.
This modern-day solution comes thanks to an agreement signed on Friday by the museum and Huawei Technologies Co. , the telecommunication giant, to build a “smart network” using 5G technology. Under the agreement, 5G Wi-Fi signals will cover the Palace Museum, China's imperial palace from 1420 to 1924, and the branch museum of the institution under construction in northwestern Beijing.
“It's essential to always stay close to the latest technology to better serve the public，” said Shan Jixiang, former curator (馆长) of the Palace Museum. Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural relics, such as when the priceless painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival is exhibited again in the future. When it was last exhibited in 2015, visitors stood in long lines until 3 am to get a glimpse. The museum ended up preparing instant noodles to serve the hungry visitors. “I don't want that scenario to reoccur，” Shan said. “Our operation can be done in a more scientific way.”
The new system will also make use of the closed-circuit television cameras that are set up all over the Palace Museum to safeguard the museum's precious relics. More than 1.86 million of them are housed at the museum, which recorded nearly 20 million visits from the public last year, topping all museums worldwide. “How can we make sure no single visitor who might have evil ideas threatens these treasures？” Shan said. “After adopting the Internet of things, we can instantly detect any motion involving the artifacts to prevent such threats.”
The 5G network also will be used to improve remote consultation through webcams, which will facilitate conversations with overseas scholars to jointly find the best answers to restoration and preservation issues.
文章大意：文章介绍了故宫博物院与华为公司合作，意在应用5G最新技术提升故宫博物院管理水平的相关情况。
4．What do we know about the Palace Museum？ C
A．Its visitors won't have to queue up for the bathroom.
B．It served as China's imperial palace for over 600 years.
C．It will cooperate with Huawei Technologies Co. to promote its management.
D．It will set up advanced television cameras for the purpose of safety.
解析：考查理解具体信息的能力。根据文章第二段中的“thanks to an agreement...to build a ‘smart network’ using 5G technology”及第三段中的“Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural relics”可知故宫博物院与华为公司合作是为了提升其管理水平，故选C。A项曲解了文章第一段的意思，并不是说以后在故宫博物院去洗手间不用排队，原文只是叙述以后游客在故宫博物院可以通过智能手机网络系统给自己带来方便；B项与文中的叙述不符；D项中强调出于安全的考虑，要安装先进的电视摄像机，这与文章第四段中所提及的新的网络系统可以使现有的闭路监控系统更好地发挥作用不符。
5．What does the underlined word “scenario” in Paragraph 3 mean B .
A．Disaster. B．Situation.
C．Operation. D．Exhibition.
解析：考查理解词汇的能力。根据画线词所在句可知，画线词指第三段中的“The museum ended up preparing instant noodles to serve the hungry visitors”所描述的情况，因此画线词与B项的含义最为接近。
6．What are the figures in Paragraph 4 intended to show about the Palace Museum？ D
A. It is better than any other museums.
B．It has a rich collection of cultural relics.
C．It enjoys great popularity all over the world.

解析：
1．形容词和副词混用。分析句子结构可知，此处修饰谓语动词，应用副词形式，所以将main改为mainly。
2．形容词和名词混用。分析句子结构可知，名词所有格后面应该用名词形式，所以将aware改为awareness。
3．此处代指our culture，应用单数形式，所以将them 改为it。
4．名词单复数误用。根据本句中的“like discovery tours and culture shows”，以及该词前面无限定词修饰可知，此处指的活动不止一种，应该用可数名词的复数形式，所以将activity改为activities。
5．冠词漏用。have a better understanding of...为固定用法，意为“对……有更好的理解”，所以在have后面加a。
6．动词时态误用。根据文章第一句“There was a lively discussion held in my class last Friday”可知，本篇文章主要讲述的是上周五课堂上进行的讨论，故此处叙述的事情发生在过去，时态应用一般过去时，所以把think改为thought。
7．定语从句关系词误用。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，在从句中作定语，先行词为some courses，所以将which改为whose。
8．动词语态误用。分析句子成分可知，what与mattered之间为主谓关系，不用被动语态，故删除was。
9．介词误用。feel proud of...为固定搭配，意为“为……感到骄傲”，所以将in改为of。
10．动词形式误用。attempt to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“努力做某事”，所以将passing改为pass。
