Peple have lng puzzled ver hw the Egyptians mved such huge rcks. And there’s n bvius answer. On average, each f the tw millin big stnes weighed abut as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians smehw mved the stne blcks t the pyramid site frm abut ne kilmeter away.
The mst ppular view is that Egyptian wrkers slid the blcks alng smth paths. Many scientists suspect wrkers first wuld have put the blcks n sleds(滑板). Then they wuld have dragged them alng paths. T make the wrk easier, wrkers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay r with the fat frm cattle. Bnn has nw tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy bjects ver sand.
Evidence frm the sand supprts this idea. Researchers fund small amunts f fat, as well as a large amunt f stne and the remains f paths.
Hwever, physicist Jseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, wh led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a televisin prgramme shwing hw sleds might have helped with pyramid cnstructin. I thught, ‘Why dn’t they just try rlling the things?’ ” A square culd be turned int a rugh srt f heel by attaching wden ples t its sides, he realised. That, he ntes, shuld make a blck f stne “a lt easier t rll than a square”.
S he tried it.
He and his students tied sme ples t each f fur sides f a 30-kilgram stne blck. That actin turned the blck int smewhat a wheel. Then they placed the blck n the grund.
They wrapped ne end f a rpe arund the blck and pulled. The researchers fund they culd easily rll the blck alng different kinds f paths. They calculated that rlling the blck required abut as much frce as mving it alng a slippery（滑的）path.
West hasn’t tested his idea n larger blcks, but he thinks rlling has clear advantages ver sliding. At least, wrkers wuldn’t have needed t carry cattle fat r water t smth the paths.
1. It's widely believed that the stne blcks were mved t the pyramid site by ________.
A. rlling them n rads
B. pushing them ver the e sand
C. sliding them n smth paths
D. dragging them n sme ples
2. The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. made the paths wet
B. made the paths hard
C. made the paths wide
D. made the paths slippery
3. What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 7 refer t?
A. Rlling the blcks with ples attached.
B. Rlling the blcks n wden wheels.
C. Rlling ples t mve the blcks.
D. Rlling the blcks with fat.
4. Why is rlling better than sliding accrding t West?
A. Because mre frce is needed fr sliding.
B. Because rlling wrk can be dne by fewer cattle.
C. Because sliding n smth rads is mre dangerus.
D. Because less preparatin n paths is needed fr rlling.
5. What is the text mainly abut?
A. An experiment n ways f mving blcks t the pyramid site.
B. An applicatin f the methd f mving blcks t the pyramid site.
C. An argument abut different methds f mving blcks t the pyramid site.
D. An intrductin t a pssible new way f mving blcks t the pyramid site.
【语篇导读】本文讲述的是对金字塔石块运输方式的研究。大多数研究人员认为古埃及人可能是把石块放在滑板上滑至目的地。现在还有人认为古埃及人还有可能是在巨石四周捆绑木棒，然后将石块滚至目的地。
1. C细节理解题。根据第四段中的 The mst ppular view is that Egyptian wrkers slid the blcks alng smth paths. 可知，人们普遍认为石块是被放在光滑的道路上被滑至目的地的，故选C项。
2. D词义猜测题。该段首句说了要在光滑的道路上操作，画线词后提到的湿黏土和牛的脂肪都有润滑作用，故选D项（使道路光滑）。
【微技能】利用语法关系猜测深奥难懂的词义
以本题为例，画线部分所在句为：T make the wrk easier, wrkers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay r with the fat frm cattle. 分析该句不难看出，句首的不定式短语作目的状语，表示“为了让这个工作更容易”，画线部分之后用连接了两个并列部分，with表示“凭借，使用”，意思为“要么使用湿黏土，要么使用牛的脂肪”，所以将所有信息联系在一起，可以得知画线部分意思应该是“让路变滑”。
除此之外，我们还以通过观察标点符号、分析同位语或定语从句、分析提示词来帮助判断词义。冒号、破折号表示解释说明。同位语是对上文内容进行进一步的解释说明，定语从句是对上文内容进行进一步的修饰限定，因此分析同位语或者定语从句也是推断词义的好办法。有些单词或短语，如mean，refer t，that is，namely等后的内容是对前文内容进行进一步的解释说明。
3. A词义猜测题。上段提出了一种新的想法，这里是说这个物理学家尝试了这个想法。根据下文的He and his students tied sme ples t each f fur sides f a 30-kilgram stne blck. 可知，画线词it指的是滚动绑有木棒的石块。故选A项。
4. D细节理解题。根据文章最后一句 At least, wrkers wuldn’t have needed t carry cattle fat r water t smth the paths. 可知，利用木棒将巨石滚至目的地的方法可以省去工人们的准备工作。故选D项。
5. D主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，文章提出一种新的可能用来搬运金字塔石块的方法。故选D项。
