Deep in the jungle, the Maya built an empire. And now, scientists are unlocking more secrets about this ancient civilization with the discovery of 417 cities 56________(date) back to 2,000 years ago, said The Washington Post.
The cities 57________(find) to be connected by 110 miles (about 177 kilometers) of “highways” in May, which consisted of the “world's first-ever extensive system of highways”. The “highways”, 58________ Reuters reported, were spacious roadways 59________(make) in stone.

The Maya civilization was “far 61________(advanced) than we thought”, noted The Washington Post.

However, by 900 BC, many Maya cities were abandoned, calling 65________ end to the empire.

答案：

56. dating非谓语动词分析句子结构可知,本句的谓语动词是are unlocking,空处在句中作非谓语动词。date back to意为“追溯到”,无被动形式,所以空处填dating。句意:据《华盛顿邮报》报道,现在,随着2000年前的417座城市的发现,科学家们正在揭开关于这个古老文明的更多秘密。

57.were found动词的时态,语态和主谓一致分析句子结构可知,空处作本句的谓语。根据时间状语in May可知,此处时态用一般过去时;主语 The cities 与 find是被动关系,且主语是复数。所以空处填were found。

58.as定语从句分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为整个主句的内容,且从句意为“正如路透社所报道的那样”,所以空处填as。句意:据路透社报道,“公路”是宽敞的石头路。

59. made非谓语动词分析句子结构可知,空处构成非谓语动词短语作后置定语,修饰前面的名词roadways ,且 make与 roadways是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以空处填made 。

6o. including介词根据常识可知,空前的 water engineering 与空后的dams,irrigation canals是包含关系,所以空处填介词including。句意:此外,科学家们还发现了金字塔、球场和水利工程,包括水坝和灌溉渠。

61. more advanced形容词比较级根据空后的 than可知,空处应用比较级,所以填more advanced。

62.civilizations名词复数此处考查固定表达“one of the+最高级＋名词复数”,意为“最……的……之一”,所以空处填civilizations。句意;作为西半球最伟大的文明之一,玛雅人大约在公元前1800年首次建立了定居点。

63.But连词根据句意“人们长期以来一直认为玛雅人仍然只是狩猎采集者。然而,新发现显示,他们当时已经忙于在世界历史上创建城市了”可知,前后句之间形成了转折关系,故填But ,注意首字母大写。

64. to farm非谓语动词根据句意“他们必须清理热带雨林地区来耕种并建造大型地下水库来储存雨水”可知,空处构成非谓语动词短语作目的状语,所以空处填to farm。

65.an冠词此处考查固定表达 call an end to.. .“宣布某事物的结束或终止”。故填an。句意:然而,到了公元前900年,许多玛雅城市被遗弃,这就宣告了该帝国的终结。
