In Mexico,Luke and a team of scientists discovered a lost Maya city.It was covered by thick forests for centuries.The Mayans lived there over 1,000 years ago.They were good at farming,writing,maths 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 Mayan 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 discover 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.”
( ) 8.Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 2?
A.When did Luke make this important discovery?
B.Why did the city remain undiscovered for so long?
C.How long did it take scientists to discover the city?
D.What difficulties did scientists have during the process?
( ) 9.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.3D maps. B.Thick forests.
C.Laser lights. D.Ancient villages.
( ) 10.What does Luke talk about in the last paragraph?
A.The value of this discovery. B.The abilities of his team.
C.The customs of ancient people. D.The difficulties they faced.

Good morning, everyone! Today, I’m happy to tell you about a great historical site—the Terracotta Army.
It is in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province. Local farmers found it by accident in 1974. It’s from the Qin Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago. There are thousands of life—sized clay soldiers, horses and chariots here. Each soldier has a different face and stands in a different way.
These clay warriors were made to protect Emperor Qin Shi Huang after he died. From them, we can learn about how ancient Chinese soldiers lived, how they made things, and what clothes they wore. The bronze weapons they hold also show that ancient people had smart skills to make tools.
The Terracotta Army lets us feel like we’re walking into
the past. It’s a wonderful way to know more about ancient Chinese
people’s life and wisdom.
Thank you for listening!
