各位同学们，为了督促帮助大家持续提升英语能力，培君老师们特意给大家准备了托福每日一包。每天覆盖听说读写内容，坚持完成两周以上，就能见到自己的英语能力不断上涨哟。

1. 听写包答案：

To get that perfection, the engineers must have had to measure it repeatedly during construction.

为了达到这种完美，工程师必须在建造过程中不断的测量。

And the way you'd measure it is from the four corners of the base.

你测量它的方式是从底座的四个角开始。

Well, if you got a ramp spiraling up from the base of the Pyramid, those corners would be buried by that ramp during construction.

如果你从金字塔底部修建一个盘旋而上的坡道，那么在建造中那些拐角就会被坡道埋没。

Well, who says the ramp has to be on the outside of the Pyramid?

那么谁说坡道必须得在金字塔的外面呢？

And now we get to the latest idea.

现在我们得出了最新的观点。

If the ramp were on the inside of the Pyramid, the corners at the base would be exposed so the engineers could do their measurements while they were building.

如果坡道在金字塔内，底座拐角就会暴露出来，所以工程师就能在建造中测量了。

Well, an architect named Houdin has spent a few years working on making computer models of the building of the Pyramid.

一个名叫乌丹的建筑师花了几年时间制作金字塔的电脑模型。

And what Houdin believes is that an exterior straight ramp was used to construct the bottom third of the Pyramid, this ramp would have been fairly short. It probably rose less than 50 meters.

乌丹认为外部垂直的坡道用于建造金字塔底部的三分之一，这条坡道十分的短，可能少于50米。

Then the rest of the Pyramid was constructed using an internal ramp that spiraled around the inside of the Pyramid.

然后剩下的金字塔用盘旋而上的内部坡道建造。

But how can we test this idea?

但是我们如何检验这个想法呢？

Well, there are several ways to look inside the Pyramid.

有几种方法探究金字塔内部。

One is called microgravimetry.

其中一个叫做微重力测量。

Microgravimetry is a technique that's used to detect voids inside a structure.

微重力测量是一种不用进入建筑内部的测量技术。

You can then take the data and generate an image that shows any empty spaces in the interior.

你可以记录数据，生成图像，它能展示内部任何空间。

Well, in 1986, French scientists completed a microgravimetric survey of the Pyramid.

在1986年，法国科学家们完成了一个对金字塔的微重力测量研究。

And one of the images they produced showed an empty spiral-shaped space inside it.

他们生成的其中一幅图像显示里面有一个空的螺旋状地带。

The shape of that space corresponds exactly to what Houdin thought the ramp would look like.

那个地带的形状与乌丹认为的坡道形态十分吻合。

I think Herodotus would be convinced.

我认为希罗多德也会信服。

We might very well be at the end of centuries of guessing.

我们很可能结束了几个世纪的猜想。

What is the lecture mainly about?

根据教授所说的，反对金字塔的石头是用起重机抬起来的这个理论的主要论点是什么？

Why does the professor mention a mountain road?

为什么教授提及了山路？

Why does the professor talk about the accuracy of the proportions of the Great Pyramid?

为什么教授谈论了大金字塔比例的精确性？

The professor discusses different methods the Egyptians may have used to build the Great Pyramid. For each method listed below, place a check in the box that show with whom it is associated.

教授谈论了埃及人建造大金字塔可能使用的几种不同方法。以下列出了各种方法，在方框中选出与之相对应的人。

What is the professor's view of the Houdin's theory?

教授对于乌丹原理的观点是什么？

2.阅读包答案：

她说，“我是个很好的经济指示器，我所提供的服务在人们考虑省钱的时候就不需要了”。

3.写作包答案：

中译英1：The polluted water is the cause of the villagers' disease /illness.

中译英2：

Adults today are as aware as Wordsworth of the importance of childhood experiences that a cherished and well-behaved child has a better chance of growing into a balanced, loving and law-abiding adult than an unloved one.
