19、o 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’

20、s Move initiative (倡議). 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 beca

21、me 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 efforts to end this within a generation. Safe Routes to School is a natural partner for Let’s M

22、ove. 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 numb

23、er of kids walking or biking to school. And as we made our way down the street this morning I was reminded yet again of this program’s extraordinary work. Look, walking and biking to school is good for students’ health. It’s good for the environment. And it’s good for the entire community’s quality

24、 of life. Everybody wins when kids take Safe Routes to School. 36. We can learn from the text that Michelle Obama . A. set up Walk to School Day B. first suggested the program Let’s Move C. organized Safe Routes to School D. joined Walk to School Day with the kids 37. Safe

25、 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

26、 who are overweight 38. The text is most probably taken from . A. a public speech B. a diary C. a news report D. an advertisement B In recent years, remote-sensing technologies have become ordinary in archaeological fieldwork (實地考察). Such tools for excavation produce rapid r

27、esults and cause no damage to archaeological sites. They are highly accurate and usually cost effective. Here are three of the modern archeologist’s most trusted remote-sensing tools. As the simplest of the remote-sensing techniques that archeologists use, aerial (空中的) photography allows experts t

28、o 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 ba

29、lloons, or other airborne vehicles. Geographic Information System (GIS) contains a large amount of field data archeologists typically collect in and around excavation sites. While in the field, archeologists use GIS on their computers to make and manage detailed site maps, and they can combine

30、the results of remote-sensing tests with maps of the region created with the aid of Global Positioning System. Resulting maps sort the most archeologically promising areas and display these sites three-dimensionally. Ranging in size from small handheld models that one places against the ground to l

31、arger ones that one drags across a site, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices use low-power radio waves to detect 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 agains

32、t the ground. Depending on their needs, archeologists 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. 39. We can learn from the text that the remote-sensing tools

33、 . A. will replace traditional archeological 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 40. Aerial photography is helpful . A. in seeing what ca

34、n’t be seen on the ground B. in analyzing how old an archaeological site is C. in reflecting the changes of an archaeological site D. in taking large-sized photos of an archaeological site 41. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices are different from traditional radar in that .

35、 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 42. Archeologists can get a detailed site map by . A. aerial photography B. Geographic Informa

36、tion System C. Global Positioning System D. Ground Penetrating Radar C 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

37、 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 purp

38、ose 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 they have been cut and Christmas is over, they’re usually cut into smaller pieces

39、 for mulch (覆蓋物). As mulch, the bits of trees very slowly release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. So in the end, a real Christ mas tree is carbon neutral, putting the same amount of carbon dioxide back into the air as it took out (although much more slowly). The tree farms that grow

40、the trees also replant after the trees are cut. Artificial trees, on the other hand, don’t come out even in the carbon balance. Petroleum (石油) is used to make the plastics in artificial trees and lots of carbon dioxide-creating energy is required to make and transport them. Because these trees just

41、end up in the places where waste is buried under the ground after use, “those greenhouse gases are lost forever,” Springer said. 43. The author presents the text mainly by . A. giving descriptions B. making comparisons C. listing figures D. analyzing different opinions 44. Rea

42、l trees for Christmas are better than artificial trees probably because . A. real trees cost buyers less money B. real trees are more beautiful C. real trees don’t cause any pollution D. real trees can be used for a longer time 45. The underlined part “carbon neutral” in the third p

43、aragraph can be best replaced by “ ”. A. not releasing more carbon B. absorbing carbon dioxide 46. The purpose of the text is to tell us . A. the reasons for using real trees for Christmas B. the environmental protection tips for Christmas C. how to choose artificia

44、l Christmas trees D. how to spend a much greener Christmas D Among the most popular forms of dieting is the South Beach diet, developed by Arthur Agatston of Miami, Florida. Dr. Agatston developed the South Beach diet for his patients with heart problems to lose weight. Since weight matters a l

45、ot in keeping heart healthy and traditional low-fat diets were too difficult for them to stick to, Dr. Agatston decided to create a plan that could help his patients. At first, the diet was just for his patients. Soon, thanks to his patients’ success, the diet became the buzz in Miami, and eventuall

46、y, word spread across the nation. This diet focuses on a healthy balance between carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and fats. It is based on eating a combination of “good” carbohydrates and fats, while limiting those “bad” ones. It is divided into three different phases. The first phase lasts for two weeks a

47、nd is the strictest of the three. During this phase, you are asked to restrict (限制) all carbohydrates (good and bad). You are allowed to eat all types of fish, cheeses, eggs, and nuts, and a large number of vegetables. Most dieters can expect to lose between 8 and 12 pounds during this phase. Duri

48、ng Phase 2, you are allowed to reintroduce some of those carbohydrates that are not allowed before. You are encouraged to start eating carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index (升糖指數(shù)). But you should keep in mind that the key is moderation (適度). Most people continue to lose 1-2 pounds per week. Y

49、ou continue with this phase until you reach your target weight. Phase 3 is designed to help you keep your weight. During Phase 3, you can reintroduce some of the carbohydrates that have a higher glycemic index, although again, this should be in moderation. Phase 3 is meant to be a way of life. 47

50、. The text is mainly about . A. a plan to keep heart healthy B. a popular form of dieting C. how to keep healthy through 3 phases D. how to lose weight more quickly 48. What does the underlined part “the buzz” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Widely spread new

51、s. B. A daily hobby. C. A useful activity. D. A loud noise. 49. During Phase 1, you are advised to . A. have some carbohydrates B. eat a smaller amount of food C. eat a variety of food except carbohydrates D. have carbohydrates that have a low glyc
