of Giza in Egypt has beenmapped in detail for the first time-and researchers have also taken a glimpse inside using tiny camera calledendoscopic camera（内窥镜照相机）.The corridor was first discovered in 2016,but researchers didnt want to damage the monument to gain access.The pyramid is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing,and was,for millennia,theworlds tallest human-made structure at 146 metres.It was built around 2560 BC during the reign of the pharaoh（法老）Khufu.Using a technique called cosmic-ray muon radiography（宇宙射线 p 子成像）,an international team ofresearchers was able to certify that the comdor was 9metres long,with across section of about 2 metres by 2metres.Cosmic-ray muon radiography tracks the level of muons（p 介子）passing through the pyramid.In thetechnique,researchers use muon detectors which are placed at various points around the monument.Muons arepartially absorbed by the stone used to build the pyramids,which means the method allows researchers to identifycavities（洞）inside the structure.This approach has been used to map the internal structures of pyramids since 1971,when it was first used atGiza.Using their precise map of the corridor,the researchers identified an opportunity.“We knew the cavity was there,but of course ifs totally different when you see it,“says Procureur.t4We feltstrange when we saw this.”Still,Procureur was glad of one thing.Its a controversial opinion,but Im relieved thecavity was empty.I wouldnt have liked to participate in opening a4.Why didnt the researchers want to damage the monument to gain access to the corridor?A.Because it is the worlds tallest structure.B.Because it is the largest pyramid in the world.C.Because it was built around 2560 AD during the reign of the pharaoh Khufu.D.Because it is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing.5.What does the underlined word“certify“in paragraph 3

grains worldwide,a study covering morethan 100,000 people in Northwest China has revealed that choosing rice as a main food may result in a lower riskof obesity.Researchers from Xian Jiaotong University collected data from participants aged 35 to 74 who are residentsof five northwestern provincial-level regions.They divided the participants into three groups.The first group eatsrice as their main food,consuming it either daily or four to six times per week,while consuming wheat less thanfour to six times per week.The second group?s main food is wheat,and the third group consumes both rice andwheat as their main food,with similar frequency.Then the researchers compared results and found out that rice preference might be associated with a lower riskof certain obesity types in the population of Northwest China.Higher wheat intake was associated with higher risksof excessive body fat and central obesity（stomach fat）in men and central obesity in women,according to the studyfindings published in the journal Nutrients.According to the researchers,previous animal studies shows that wheat gluten（谷蛋白）promoted weight gainby reducing heat production and energy consumption,while rice protein shows the potential for anti-obesity andtriglyceride-lowering（抗肥胖和降低甘油三酯）effects.Meanwhile,rice-based dietary patterns often have morefresh vegetables,meat and fish servings.People with wheat preference in Northwest China tend to eat large bowlsof noodles with fewer vegetables or less meat,and sometimes even with a large amount of oil.However,researchers noted that given the vast tenitory and diverse ethnic groups present in Northwest China,further studies might be necessary to fully understand the regional specificity and potential hidden reasons for theobserved links.12.What do you know about the study in Northwest China?A.People can eat rice to lose weight.B.Eating rice will help you live longer.C.Rice is the perfect choice for people who are fat.D.Eating rice may reduce peoples risk of being fat.13.How did the researchers figure out the findings of the study?A.By offering examples.B.By referring to some data.C.By making a comparison.D.By quoting an experts opinion.14.What does the previous animal study show?A.Wheat gluten reduced weight gain by reducing heat and energy.B.Rice protein has the potential to fight obesity and lower triglyceride.C.People often eat noodles with more fresh vegetables,meat and fish servings.D.People who prefer wheat in Northwest China tend to cat small bowls of noodles.15.What will the researchers probably do next?A.They will carry out further studies.B.They will change their research methods.C.They will promote rice as the main food.D.They will figure out the number of ethnic groups in China.第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分.满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Before we even realize ifs happening slowly but surely,we start losing confidence in who we are,what wedo,and pretty much
