No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock’n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.
"Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible," physicist Daniel Bonn said.
People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And here’s no answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.
The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds. Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have
lubricated the paths
either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.
Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.
However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, "I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction. I thought, ’Why don’t they just try rolling the things?"’ A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone "a lot easier to roll than a square" .
So he tried it.
He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.
They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of path. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery path.
West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.
Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?
选项
A、Because more force is needed for sliding.
B、Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.
C、Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous.
D、Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据最后一段中的“workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths”可知工人不需要对道路进行润滑处理。倒数第二段中的内容表明两种方法用的力是一样的,因此排除A。B、c两项文章均未提到。故本题选D。
