（2025·天津河东·模拟预测）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.

天津中考模拟真题练
（2025·天津东丽·模拟预测）Stefanie Perner has been skateboarding since she was a child, and for her, it’s much more than just a hobby. It’s her way of exploring a city and forming a connection wherever she goes.
When she arrived in Beijing from Germany at the age of 20, she found skateboarding to be her compass (指南针) in exploring this city. Her first impression of Beijing was its blend (融合) of ancient buildings and modern architecture (建筑), which provided an inclusive mix of skate spots. Each spot offered its own set of challenges and opportunities for creative expression.
The skateboarding community in Beijing had also taken her by surprise. She remembered the first time going out on a street skating session with her Canadian friend. She was worried at first, fearing that people might be a bit reserved around her—a foreigner. Yet, her worries turned out to be unnecessary. The skaters here were as welcome and open-minded as any skaters she had met in Europe. In her opinion, it was this shared love for skateboarding that tightly put this community together all over the world.
Besides, even those outside the skateboarding community showed curiosity and love for the sport. Passers-by often stopped to watch them skate, with some even daring to try it out. This openness and eagerness for exploration left a deep impression on her, and it provided a wonderful opportunity for cultural exchanges and learning from each other.
Her skateboarding journey in China has truly been inspiring, one that bridges the gap (间隙) between Eastern and Western cultures.

A．Her studies. B．Her family. C．Her hobby. D．Her job.

（2025·天津河东·模拟预测）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.”
