阅读理解A    In the summer of 1848, in Guatemala, a man called Ambrosio Tut went out into the jungle, as he did almost every day. Tut was a gum collector, looking for gum in the jungle. To do this, he had to climb the trees. One day, he got to the top of one tree and something caught his eye. He looked out across the trees and saw the tops of some old buildings.    Tut didn't really know what he had seen but he knew it was something special. He ran to tell the local governor excitedly, and together they walked into the jungle. There they found Tikal, the city that the Mayans had built, many hundreds of years before. The two men saw pyramids, squares and houses.    For a long time before that day, local people had known that somewhere in the jungle there was an old Mayan city. But no one had seen it for centuries. Between 200 and 900 AD, the city of Tikal had ben the centre of Mayan civilisation in the area, but then the Mayas let it—nobody knows why! After 1000 AD, the jungle began to cover it. And then people forgot that it was there.    Seven years before Tut found Tikal, two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle—but they hadn't mentioned Tikal. Even earlier than this, local Indians had told people about a great city hidden in the trees, but no one had listened to them. So they lost the chance to find the treasure. Now the lost city had been found again, and people went there immediately to see it. （1） Which of the following statement is true according to the passage? A . Tut found the Tikal city by accident. B . Mayans lived in Tikal over 1,000 years. C . Two British explorers found many treasures there. D . Local Indians knew nothing about the Tikal city. （2） What does the underlined word “this” in the first paragraph refer to? A . Climbing the trees. B . Looking for gum. C . Going into the jungle. D . Looking for treasures. （3） What could be the best title of this passage? A . The Man Who Found Tikal. B . The Greatest Discovery in the World. C . A City in the Jungle. D . The Secret of Tikal City. 答案： A B C
