Scientists scanning and mapping the Giza pyramids say they’ ve discovered that the Great Pyramid of Giza is not exactly even. But really not by much. This pyramid is the oldest of the world ’ s Seven Wonders. The pyramid’ s exact size has【C1】______experts for centuries, as the "more than 21 acres of hard, white casing stones" that originally covered it were【C2】______long ago. Reporting in the most recent issue of the newsletter "AERAGRAM", which【C3】______the work of the Ancient Egypt Research Associates, engineer Glen Dash says his team used a new measuring approach that involved finding any surviving【C4】______of the casing in order to determine where the original edge was. They found the east side of the pyramid to be a【C5】______of 5. 5 inches shorter than the west side.
The question that most【C6】______him, however, isn’t how the Egyptians who designed and built the pyramid got it wrong 4,500 years ago, but how they got it so close to【C7】______. "We can only speculate as to how the Egyptians could have laid out these lines with such【C8】______using only the tools they had," Dash writes. He says his【C9】______is that the Egyptians laid out their design on a grid, noting that the great pyramid is oriented only【C10】______away from the cardinal directions (its north-south axis runs 3 minutes 54 seconds west of due north, while its east-west axis runs 3 minutes 51 seconds north of due east)—an amount that’ s "tiny, but similar" , archeologist Atlas Obscura points out.
A) chronicles I) perfect
B) complete J) precision
C) established K) puzzled
D) fascinates L) remnants
E) hypothesis M) removed
F) maximum N) revelations
G) momentum O) slightly
H) mysteriously
【C9】
选项
答案
E
解析
空格前为形容词性物主代词his,空格后为be动词is,故本空需要填入一个名词。结合句意可知,达什说他的猜想是埃及人在网格上画了他们的设计图。备选项中只有hypothesis(假设,猜想)符合句意,故答案为E。
