Space-Age Archeology
It's a strange partnership, but a very effective one: Satellites and space-shuttle-carried radar are helping archeologists. How？ By "seeing" through sand or through treetops to locate important archeological sites.
The traditional tools for archeologists are shovels and picks. But high technology is making the archeologist's work and time far more productive.
Take for example, the second 1981 flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger. During the mission, a powerful, experimental radar was pointed at a lifeless stretch of desert in Egypt called the Selima Sand Sheet(part of the Sahara Desert). To everyone's surprise, the radar penetrated through the sand to the harder rock beneath. On the surface, there is a little indication that Africa's Sahara Desert was never anything but a desert. When the archeologists studied the radar images, they saw what seemed to be impossible: there was sand-buried landscape that was shaped by flowing water; traces of ancient riverbeds appeared to be over nine miles wide, far wider than most sections of the present-day Nile River. Today, the area is one of the hottest, driest desert in the world.
Archeologists dug pits along the old river banks and found clues to the past: stream-rounded pebbles (鹅卵石), Stone-Age axes, broken ostrich (鸵鸟) eggshells, and the shells of land snails. The archeologists were quite pleased with these findings. For years, they'd been finding stone axes scattered through the desert, and couldn't understand why. Now we know that early humans were living on the banks of old rivers, and left their beautiful tools behind. Some are so sharp that you could shave with them.
More recently, Landsat 4, a special earth-mapping satellite, aided in the discovery of ancient Mayan ruins in Mexico. Lansat can, with the help of false-color imagery, "see through" much of the area. Armed with these maps, a five-person expedition took to the air in a helicopter.
By the end of the second day, the team found a stretch of walled fields that expedition members said look like "old New England fences". They just go on, non-stop, for 40 miles. Later in the week, an ancient village was pinpointed, as was the "lost" city of Oxpemul, once found in the early 1930's but quickly reclaimed by the jungle. The findings made them able to map the extent of the Mayan civilization in about five days. Working on foot, it would have taken at least 100 years.
With the help of the space-shuttle carried radar, archeologists found ______.
A．a new stretch of the Sahara desert
B．traces of ancient riverbeds under the Sahara Desert
C．some traditional archeological tools in the Sahara Desert
D．a mountain beneath the Sahara Desert

听力原文：M: It's good to see you back. How was your trip to Arizona？ Did you see the Grand
Canyon？
点击查看答案
W: Yes, it was fantastic. Now I know why this is together with a wild river as one of the great natural wonders of the world. Here, want to see the pictures I took？
M: Oh, what a view! It's even bigger than I imagined. I remember reading about the Grand Canyon. I think it said that it was formed suddenly when the earth cross-split during an earthquake.
W: Well, not that quickly. Look, here is a picture of the Colorado River. She wears down the body of the canyon. That river and its tributary have been wearing away the canyon floor for over 10 million years.
M: Then the canyon is the result of soil erosion. I bet geologists have made some interesting discoveries there.
W: Not only the geologists, archeologists have found the bones of ancient animals in caves and canyon walls. In a cave 140 feet above the river, they found driftwood that dates back as far as 37000 years.
M: That means, the river must have been 140 feet higher to carry the wood into the cave.
W: It's very possible. But of course who knows. The Grand Canyon is full of mysteries. Wouldn't you like to go to Arizona some day？
M: You bet I would!

The Mystery of the MayasThe ruins of once-beautiful cities in the forests of Central Ameri
The Mystery of the Mayas
The ruins of once-beautiful cities in the forests of Central America tell scientists much about the amazing people who built them. But they do not tell why these cities were suddenly abandoned over one thousand years ago. Around A. D. 800, something mysterious happened to the Mayan civilization. Walls and foundations for new buildings were left unfinished. To modern archeologists, it looked as if the cities had been abandoned. What happened？ What is the possible explanation of this mystery？
Early Discoveries
In the late 1700's, a group of explorers cutting their way through a forest in Central America came upon the ruins of an ancient city. Under a tangle of trees and vines, they found large, well-de- signed stone buildings and handsome stone monuments. Some of the stones were covered with a strange kind of writing. Carvings on other stones showed that at least some of the people who lived in the area long before were highly advanced.
Questions Raised
In the next 150 years, more cities were discovered. They seemed to be part of a great civilization stretching across 500 miles (about 800 kilometers) of forest. In 1881, an Englishman named Alfred Maudslay led the first big scientific expedition to study the ruins in the forest. Maudslay was an archeologist, a scientist who studies the remains of ancient communities for clues to how the people lived. Other expeditions followed, but at first they found more questions than answers: Who built the cities, and when the cities were built？ How had the people lived here in the middle of a rain forest？ Most puzzling of all, what happened to them？
Possible Answers
Gradually, some of the answers have been pieced together. Today, living in parts of Mexico and Guatemala, there are brown skinned Indian people called the Mayas. Scientists believe that the ancestors of these Indians built the cities and carved the stone monuments.
Dates carved on some monuments show that they were put up between A. D. 300 and 800, but bits of buried pottery tell us that the Mayas had lived in some of their cities for hundreds of years earlier. At the height of Mayan civilization, there must have been over two million people living in and around hundreds of beautiful towns and cities.
Archeologists digging in these cities have uncovered roads, a few water reservoirs, and temples built one on top of another. Handsome pictures made of sculptured plaster and painted in bright colors were found on the walls of buildings. Painted pots and pieces of carefully carved jewelry were discovered in tombs under the floors of temples. These pictures and objects showed much about the Mayas' life. There were scenes of people working, people at war, nobles holding court, priests in fantastic costumes, and Mayan gods.
Possible Errors
For a long time, archeologists worked only on uncovering large Mayan structures, such as temples, palaces, and ball courts. Little effort was made to find the remains of smaller buildings, such as houses. The seeming absence of houses led people to believe that the cities were only the homes of priests and rulers, who lived in the palaces. They thought the ordinary people probably lived in the countryside and came to the cities only for religious ceremonies.
New Evidence
In recent years, new evidence has been uncovered at a number of Mayan cities by different groups of archeologists. The University of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia has just finished a twelve-year study of Tikal, the biggest of the Mayan cities. More than one hundred small houses varied, too. Some had many remains of finely decorated pottery. Others had fewer and plainer pieces. The houses were very close together, with little space to raise food, except in small gardens. Change of View
