[主题阅读] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years.The Maya were so bright that they achieved a lot.They had farms, temples and cities with many buildings.They knew much about nature and the world around them.This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time. In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest.In each clearing was a village with fields of crops around it.The Maya planted seeds after they cleared the land.A farmer was able to grow crops that produced for several people.But not every Maya had to be a farmer.Some were builders or priests (祭司)． The Maya believed in many gods.They built large temples to honor them.Skillful workers built cities around these temples.It was difficult because they had to carry all of the building materials themselves.Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing. Although the Maya worked hard to build the beautiful cities, very few of them lived in them.Usually, only the priests lived in the cities.The other people lived in small villages in the forests.Their houses were much simpler.Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature. Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return.No one knows why this happened.They may have died from a deadly disease.They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops.The lost secrets of the Maya are still beyond the reach of modern people.They are still one of our greatest mysteries. 1．The Maya lived better than most people of their times because ______.

Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000 human­made features­homes, canals, highways, and more－have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的)images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM 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 one­hour 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 Estrada­Belli, 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. 5．What does the underlined word “Those” in paragraph 2 refer to?
