I want to thank Principal Morrow and the entire ESS munity for weling 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 Obamas Lets 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. Thats why Ive embraced the Safe Routes to School program so wholeheartedly since I became Secretary of Transportation. You know, were 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 Ladys efforts to end this within a generation. Safe Routes to School is a natural partner for Lets 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 this programs extraordinary work.Look, walking and biking to school is good for students health. Its good for the environment. And its good for the entire munitys quality 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 DayB. first suggested the program Lets MoveC. organized Safe Routes to School D. joined Walk to School Day with the kids37. 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 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 bee 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 costeffective. Here are three of the modern archeologists most trusted remote-sensing tools.As the simplest of the remote-sensing techniques that archeologists 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 archeologists typically collect in and around excavation sites. While in the field, archeologists use GIS on their puters to make and manage detailed site maps, and they can bine 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 larger 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 against 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 .A. will replace traditional archeological toolsB. are more difficult to use than traditional toolsC. have been widely and efficiently used in archeologyD. help archaeologists discover more archaeological sites40. Aerial photography is helpful .A. in seeing what cant be seen on the groundB. 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 site41. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) devices are different from traditional radar in that .A. their sizes are pletely differentB. traditional radar uses low-power radio wavesC. the length of waves they send out is differentD. GPR devices can detect changes underground42. Archeologists can get a detailed site map by .A. aerial photographyB. Geographic Information SystemC. Global Positioning System D. Ground Penetrating RadarC 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 Josephs 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 they have been cut and Christmas is over, theyre usually cut into smaller pieces for mulch (覆盖物). As mulch, the bits of trees very slowly release carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. So in the end, a real Christmas 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 the trees also replant after the trees are cut. Artificial trees, on the other hand, dont e 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 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 parisonsC. listing figures D. analyzing different opinions 44. Real 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 dont cause any pollution D. real trees can be used for a longer time45. The underlined part “carbon neutral” in the third paragraph can be best replaced by “ ”. A. not releasing more carbon B. absorbing carbon dioxide46. The purpose of the text is to tell us .A. the reasons for using real trees for ChristmasB. the environmental protection tips for ChristmasC. how to choose artificial Christmas treesD. how to spend a much greener ChristmasDAmong 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 lot 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 eventually, 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 bination of “good” carbohydrates and fats, while limiting those “bad” ones. It is divided into three different phases. The first phase lasts for two weeks and 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. During 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 (升糖指数). But you should keep in mind that the key is moderation (适度). Most people continue to lose 1-2 pounds per week. You 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. The text is mainly about . A. a plan to keep heart healthy B. a popular form of dietingC. how to keep healthy through 3 phases D. how to lose weight more quickly48. What does the underlined part “the buzz” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Widely spread news. B. A daily hobby. C. A useful activity. D. A loud noise. 49. During Phase 1, you are advised to . A. have some carbohydratesB. eat a smaller amount of food C. eat a variety of food except carbohydratesD. have carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index50. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Carbohydrates are usually forbidden in other weight-loss diets.B. The South Beach diet was designed exclusively for Dr. Agatstons patients at first.C. The South Beach diet can help people to lose weight in a systematic way.D. The South Beach diet is much easier to stick to than traditional low-fat diets.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How would you like to fly through the Grand Canyon or take an adventure through the human body? This is what some elementary school students in Dallas, Texas, get to do in their classes. 51 A special machine makes the lessons e to life with the help of a puter chip. 52 . It is made up of many tiny mirrors. New puter technology joins 3-D movies. Lessons in 3-D can turn learning into an adventure. The students look forward to the lessons and say that they remember them better than non-3-D lessons. “Its easier to learn because you can remember all the stuff, and its more fun to learn,” said one student. 53 They said that students of all different learning levels can enjoy the 3-D lessons. Brittany Russo, one of the teachers, pointed out that the most advanced students in her class are no longer bored. 54 Vera Johnson, a fifth-grade science teacher, said that she enjoys the science and math lessons best. She pointed out that students who get to see a 3-D movie understand the subject quicker. 55 “You cant really go up and see the solar system,” Johnson says, “but that this is the next best thing.”A. The teachers have good things to say about it, too.B. 3-D movies can help students develop acting abilities.C. They watch 3-D movies that go with many of their lessons.D.
