Ⅴ.阅读理解
The ancient Maya built many large cities in what is known as their classic period, which lasted from about 250 A. D. until about 900. Each city had its own king and ruling class. The cities traded with one another, but often fought as well. Around the year 900, the Maya abandoned many of their cities.
Archaeologists and other scientists have long puzzled over why the Maya left. They have examined the cities carefully, and studied the settlements that surround them. In Copan they found many tools dating from 500 to about 1000 and a few tools dating from about 1000 to 1200. They found that no new monuments had been built after 822. From plant remaining, they concluded that the area around Copan had been farmland, and other evidence suggested that the land had been overfarmed. In view of the evidence, the scientists concluded that a large population had lived in Copan until about 1000, but that as more people farmed the land, the soil had lost its richness and produced fewer crops, causing the Maya there to suffer from malnutrition (营养不良), as an analysis of skulls has shown. As a result, people began to leave Copan around the year 1000.
War may also have caused the Maya to abandon some of their cities. For example，it is thought that a rival (敌对) city, Caracol, may have once conquered Tikal. 100 years later Tikal returned to power, and the ruling family built temples to honour its victory. However，by the end of the 800s, Tikal was no longer powerful, and its inhabitants left. Although we do not know for certain why many ancient Maya abandoned their cities, today's Maya may provide us with clues. The modern Maya still live on the lands in Mexico and Guatemala that their ancestors occupied. Many present－day Maya still have ancient beliefs and farming practices，and studying these may help us discover more about ancient Maya culture.
1．In Copan, scientists found evidence that the Maya ________.
A．had been defeated by the people of Caracol
B．had overfarmed the land and suffered from poor health
C．had been involved in a conflict with Tikal
D．had left the city because of a war
2．It's probable that scientists will not agree on why the Maya abandoned their cities ________.
A．until more cities are found
B．without more physical evidence
C．until modern practices are better understood
D．without comparing the Maya to other ancient cultures
3．The scientists think studying the beliefs and practices of the modern Maya will help them understand ancient Mayan civilization because the modern Maya ________.
A．are identical to the ancient ones
B．have the best farming practices
C．know what their ancient civilization was like
D．carry on some of their ancestors' beliefs and practices
4．Which of the following best describes the main idea of the text?
A．The classic period of Mayan civilization lasted from about 250 until about 900.
B．Overfarming was the reason the Maya abandoned their cities.
C．Scientists are investigating why the Maya abandoned their cities.
D．Fewer people lived in Copan after 1000 than before 1000.
答案与解析：
1．解析：根据第二段的“...other evidence suggested that the land had been overfarmed ...more people farmed the land，the soil had lost its richness and produced fewer crops, causing the Maya there to suffer from malnutrition(营养不良)．..”可知，人们对农田的过度开垦导致土地营养的流失，最终导致那里的古玛雅人营养不良。故选B项。
答案：B
2．解析：根据第二段和第三段可知研究人员为了弄明白为什么玛雅人放弃了他们赖以生存的城池故土，找了很多证据来证明，所以可以推出B项正确。
答案：B
3．解析：根据最后一段的“Many present－day Maya still have ancient beliefs and farming practices, and studying these may help us discover more about ancient Maya culture.”可知，科学家们之所以认为研究现代玛雅人的信仰及风俗习惯有助于了解古玛雅文明，是因为现代玛雅人传承了古玛雅人的一些信仰及风俗习惯。故选D项。
答案：D
4．解析：本文主要讲了创造了灿烂文明的古玛雅人为什么陆续地放弃了他们赖以生存的城池故土。研究人员通过搜集证据来解释这个原因。故选C项。
答案：C
