period of time but springs entirely from a

particular __3__.

In my eighth grade, I had a friend called Jenny. I

__5__

it, but we didn't talk about it. On cold winter days,

she __6__

Today,

I

had

the

good

fortune

to

join

the

students

from

East

Silver

Spring

Elementary

School

in

Maryland as they walked and biked to school in celebration of International Walk to School Day. I want

to thank Principal Morrow and the entire ESS community for welcoming me so enthusiastically.

Walk to School Day is a great opportunity for me to spend time with parents, kids, and teachers and

to present our Safe Routes to School program and the First Lady Michelle Obama’s

Let’s Move

initiative

(

倡议

).

As

a

father,

grandfather

and

former

schoolteacher,

I

know

how

important

it

is

that

we

provide

students with safe choice to get to school while promoting exercise and healthy lifestyles. That’s why I’ve

embraced

the

Safe

Routes

to

School

program

so

wholeheartedly

since

I

became

Secretary

of

Transportation.

You know, we’re looking at an increasingly

sedentary

(

久坐的

) generation of children. One out of every

three

kids

in

America

is

now

overweight.

And

I

admire

the

First

Lady’s

effo

rts

to

end

this

within

a

generation.

Safe

Routes

to

School

is

a

natural

partner

for

Let’s

Move.

For

more

than

10

years,

Safe

Routes to School has been making it easier for students to walk and bike from home to school. And ESS,

where I walked today, is one of the earliest schools to participate.

We know this program has been enormously effective because of the steady increase in the number of

kids walking or biking to school. And as we made our way down the street this morning I was reminded

yet again of th

is program’s extraordinary work.

Look, walking and biking to school is good for students’ health. It’s good for the environment. And

Everybody wins when kids take Safe Routes to School.

21. We can learn from the text that Michelle Obama

A. set up Walk to School Day

changes underground. Unlike traditional radar, which broadcasts into the air and uses a dish to focus the

returned waves, GPR uses a small but sensitive receiver placed directly against the ground. Depending on

their needs, archaeologists can adjust radio frequencies upward for shallow sites or downward for deeper

areas, though GPR devices produce the greatest

definition

(

清晰度

) when reading depths of three feet or

less.

24. We can learn from the text that the remote-sensing tools

.

A. will replace traditional archaeological tools

B. are more difficult to use than traditional tools

C. have been widely and efficiently used in archeology

D. help archaeologists discover more archaeological sites

25. Aerial photography is helpful

.

A. in seeing what can’t be seen on the ground

B. in analyzing how old an archaeological site is

B. a diary

C. in reflecting the changes of an archaeological site

D. in taking large-sized photos of an archaeological site

26. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices are different from traditional radar in that

.

A. their sizes are completely different

B. traditional radar uses low-power radio waves

C. the length of waves they send out is different

D. GPR devices can detect changes underground

27. Archaeologists can get a detailed site map by

.

A. aerial photography

B. Geographic Information System

D. Ground Penetrating Radar

It may sound strange, but cutting down a real tree for Christmas is actually greener than going with

the artificial kind, one scientist says.

“It

is

a

little

confusing

to

people,”

said

Clint

Springer,

a

biologist

at

Saint

Joseph’s

University

in

Philadelphia.

Because

of

concerns

over

deforestation

(

砍伐森林

)

around

the

world,

many

people

naturally worry that buying a real tree might contribute to that problem. But most Christmas trees for sale

these days are grown not in the forest but on tree farms for the purpose of being cut.

Moreover,

from

the

viewpoint

of

greenhouse

gases,

real

trees

are

“the

obvious

choice”.

Live

trees

actively release oxygen as they grow, and meanwhile remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. After

B. first suggested the program Let’s Move

C. organized Safe Routes to School

D. joined Walk to School Day with the kids

22. Safe Routes to School is effective because

.

A. it stops the number of children walking or biking to school from dropping

B. it makes it easier for students to walk and bike from home to school

C. it makes Walk to School Day popular with children

D. it reduces the number of children who are overweight

23. The text is most probably taken from

.

A. a public speech

C. a news report

D. an advertisement

B

In recent years, remote-sensing technologies have become ordinary in archaeological

fieldwork

(

实地

考察

). Such tools for excavation produce rapid results and cause no damage to archaeological sites. They

are highly accurate and usually cost

effective. Here are three of the modern archaeologists most trusted remote-sensing tools.

As

the

simplest

of

the

remote- sensing

techniques

that

archaeologists

use,

aerial

(

空

中

的

)

photography allows experts to see aspects of a site that may be invisible from the ground, such as the way

in which something such as a town, garden, or building is arranged and traces of old walls and roads. The

technique involves taking photographs with conventional cameras and filming from airplanes, helicopters,

hot-air balloons, or other airborne vehicles.

Geographic Information System (GIS) contains a large amount of field data archaeologists typically

collect in and around excavation sites. While in the field, archaeologists use GIS on their computers to

make and manage detailed site maps, and they can combine the results of remote-sensing tests with maps

of

the

region

created

with

the

aid

of

Global

Positioning

System.

Resulting

maps

sort

the

most

archaeologically promising areas and display these sites three-dimensionally.

Ranging in size from small handheld models that one places against the ground to larger ones that

one drags across a site, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices use low-power radio waves to detect
