14、dies of wateris really a product of the last 50 years.The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment.Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸)，underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5,000yearold boats in the Med

One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors.Once sold，these objects are lost to experts.The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机)often used to r
17、epair ports.These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud.By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past，archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.26What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in th

21、ermen and whales.DDredging machines and whales.BRemote medicine is an aspect of medical technology that has been steadily developing in recent times.Remote medicine can be defined as experts helping to treat patients in remote areas by using highend telecommunication systems.Sometimes physicians hav
22、e to perform surgery on patients using robotic arms through these highend telecommunication systems.Doctors in remote areas can purchase emergency medical supplies and first aid kits required for remote medicine treatment from popular online stores.Surgery has been performed successfully in many cas
23、es through remote medicine. Sometimes it is neither practical nor financially possible for the sick or injured to travel to developed nations for their medical treatment.Thanks to remote medicine，people in remote areas can get treatment from experts without having to travel.Although it is useful for
24、 patients across the globe，it could be difficult in certain cases to do due to problems with access，supplies and knowledge of local professionals.Doctors believe the biggest barrier is the difficulty in building a close relationship between doctors and patients because of the computermediated virtua
25、l communication.However，with lack of specialists in intensive care units in many rural areas across the globe，remote medicine provides a helping hand in monitoring and treating critical patients.Remote medical technology is only as good as the supplies on hand.Putting this technology into practice r

32、things used in remote medicine.CImagine living for a week in a little French cottage，buying fresh vegetables from the farmers market every morning，sipping(小口泯)coffee，and taking day trips to neighboring villages.Sound appealing？Thats the magic of slow travel，where the emphasis (重点)is less on sightsee
33、ing and more on taking in your surroundings at a relaxed pace.Slow travel is a branch of the slow food movement，which began in Italy in the 1980s as a protest(抗议)against the opening of a McDonalds in Rome.The slow food movement aims to preserve regional cooking，local farming，and traditional food pre
34、paration methods.This cultural idea has since developed into a whole way of life known as the Slow Movement，which emphasizes connection to food and families and，in the case of travel，connection to local people and cultures.Slow travel is not so much a particular mode of transportation as it is an at
35、titude. Rather than attempting to put as many sights or cities as possible into each trip，the slow traveler takes time to explore each destination thoroughly and to experience the local culture. As Pauline Kenny says，“Slow travelers assume that they do not have to see everything on one trip，that the
36、re will be other trips.”The clearest advantage of slow travel is reflected in the general nature of your trip.Traveling more slowly allows you to form a stronger connection to the place youre visiting，and youll feel much less rushed.Another less clear advantage of slow travel is that its generally m
37、uch easier on the environment than other types of travel.While airplanes have recently been considered as major contributors to global warming, trains are a much more ecofriendly choiceas are bikes and，of course，your own two feet!Slow travel is often kinder to your budget as well.Staying in one plac
38、e for a week or more at a time reduces your transportation costs，and vacation rentals(度假出租屋) are often cheaper than hotels since they allow you to cook your own food instead of eating out for every meal.36What do we know about slow travel?AIt mainly uses slow means of transportation.BIt encourages y
39、ou to take time to enjoy your stay.CIt encourages a new and calm lifestyle.DIt is mainly connected with local food.37Which of the following is NOT the original aim of the slow food movement?ATo preserve regional cooking.BTo preserve local farming.CTo preserve traditional food preparation methods.DTo
40、 emphasize the connection between food and family.38From what Pauline said in Paragraph 3，we can infer that slow travelers _.Aprefer to make friends with local peopleBthink it less important to know an area wellChave something left to see on the next tripDtry to put as many sights as possible into o
41、ne trip39One of the advantages of slow travel shown in Paragraph 5 is that _.Ait offers you an opportunity to exerciseBit helps you make full use of your moneyCit helps you see as many places as possibleDit is environmentally friendly40The purpose of this passage is _.Ato introduce a way of travelBt
42、o introduce a new way of lifeCto compare different kinds of travelDto show how traveling affects our lifeDThere are many scientists that study people who often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago.We call them anthropologists.Items those primitive men，women，and children left behind when the
43、y diedeverything from clothing to jewelry and toolstell anthropologists a lot.And sometimes even their words survive.Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in America.The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago，long before Christopher Colu
44、mbus arrived in the New World.Workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface.They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal，Mexico，which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec.“There are signs on the block that se
45、em to show objects used by the Olmec during their religious ceremonies，”says Dr Stephen Houston，of Brown University in the US.“There is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks like the chair of a King，”he explains.Houston，an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures，
46、says the discovery is exciting because “it makes clear that the Olmec could read and write.It is like hearing voices from the past.”But experts dont know exactly what the writing says.Finding other examples of Olmec writing could help decipher_the_puzzle.“We could have whole sets of ancient writing
47、which will basically make ancient people speak to us directly，”says Houston.“There are many puzzles to be solved，and this is just one of them.”41According to the passage，in order to learn more about the past，what items do scientists often use?AKnives and chairs.BBooks and stones.CPeople and animals.
48、DClothing and jewelry.42Why do we think the stone block mentioned in the passage is important?AIt allows scientists to translate the ancient language used in this area.BIt proves that people lived in this part of the world more than 3,000 years ago.CIt shows the people of the area had a written lang
49、uage.DIt is the evidence of the oldest form of writing ever found in America.43Why are scientists interested in ancient languages?ABecause they can learn stories told during that time.BBecause they can speak directly with ancient people.CBecause it can allow them to understand ancient societies bett
50、er.DBecause it will help learn about the origins of modern languages.44Which of the following can replace the underlined expression in Paragraph 6?AFind the meaning of the Olmec language.BDiscover when the Olmec people lived.CLearn why the Olmec civilization disappeared.DLearn how to speak Olmec.45W
