Most scientists agree the Great Sphinx of Giza(吉萨狮身人面像) was built around 2500 B.C.But John Anthony West says that it ’s much older.If he ’s right, everything anybody has learned about ancient civilizations(文明) would have to be completely revised.
West, a writer and film-maker, first got interested in ancient history after studying the work of a French researcher.The researcher said Egyptian civilization could have developed as early as 30,000 years ago, rather than 4,500 years ago, as most experts believe.
West joined a scientist to do research together.Their research suggested that the Sphinx had been worn down(磨损) over the years by water, rather than by sand and wind.
Wait a minute! Water? How could that be? The Sphinx is in the Sahara Desert, which has been dry for 12,000 years! However, before that time, it was very green.If it ’s true that water wore down the Sphinx, West thinks that it must have been built centuries earlier.
Whether West is right or wrong, it ’s important to challenge accepted ideas.That ’s how science progresses.
West gave some advice to kids: If you are interested in a topic, read everything you can find on it.Do your own research.Don ’t always believe everything your teachers tell you.Ask lots of questions, and find your own answers.
根据语篇内容,选择最佳选项。
( )71.What does the underlined word “revised” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Connected.
B.Created.
C.Changed.
( )72.When did most scientists believe Egyptian civilization developed?
A.4,500 years ago.
B.6,000 years ago.
C.12,000 years ago.

( )73.From West ’s research, what was the Sphinx worn down by?
A.Sand. B.Water. C.Wind.
( )74.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The place where West did his research.
B.The period when the Sphinx was built.
C.The reason why West holds his opinion.
( )75.Which of the following may the writer agree?
A.Science progresses through giving different opinions.
B.Egyptian civilization should be earlier than we thought.
C.People should do some research before giving their opinions.
