22、 The ruins of a Maya city have been discovered in Guatemala with the help of the remote sensing technique LiDAR. This lost city envelops sites like Tikal, Holmul, and Witzna, but shows that these famous areas are a small part of this lost urban network.
Hidden under the jungles of the Maya Biosphere Reserve site, more than 60,000 human-made features — homes, canals, highways, and more — have been identified in aerial (从飞机上的)images collected by some international researchers headed by the PAGUNAM Foundation, a Maya cultural and natural heritage organization. Those have experts rethinking the outlines and complexity of the Maya Empire.
These ancient peoples obviously created these imaginative cultures based on their known relics (遗迹), but the new research has suggested that the size of this lost society is far beyond what experts imagined. The findings will be explored in a one-hour documentary called “Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings”, to be broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.
This breakthrough was possible thanks to LiDAR sensors, which can survey lands in 3D by bouncing pulses off the ground from unmanned air vehicles and others. LiDAR is exceptionally useful for detecting archeological(考古的)sites, as it gets through jungles and other features that hold up exploration on the ground. The technique has made many discoveries become a reality in recent years. For instance, major finds at Angkor, Cambodia and Caracol, Belize can explain what it did. The final goal is to survey Guatemala’s lowlands with it.
“There are entire cities we didn't know about now showing up in the survey data,” Francisco Estrada-Belli, one of the lead archeologists on the project, said in Nat Geo's coming documentary. “There are 20,000 square kilometres more to be explored and there are going to be hundreds of cities about the mysterious people who built this urban network there that we don’t know about, and we will push back the frontiers with the technology,” he added.
【1】What does the underlined word "Those" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Jungles. B.Human-made features.
C.Researchers. D.Aerial images.
【2】What does the author want to convey in paragraph 4?
A.The working principle of LiDAR sensors.
B.The process of researching Maya civilization.
C.Great importance of Guatemalans lowlands.
D.LiDAR’s contribution to discovering the relics.
【3】Which words can best describe the lost Maya city?
A.Small and hidden. B.Famous and high-tech.
C.Vast and complex. D.Fully-explored and imaginative.
【4】What will the archeologists do next?

24、 If a president, a philosopher, and one of the best-selling writers credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? In fact, you probably do it every day. Here’s what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson: “Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens: “If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and die.”
Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside-compared with on a treadmill(跑步机)-produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas.
The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Our creative thinking is triggered(触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walking-with your dog, a friend, or alone - feeds creative thinking.
The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Being inside, you’re more likely to be lifeless, which means you don’t have enough energy to wonder or create.
So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking? Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move and the way the sun reflects in a puddle(小水坑).
【1】How does the author introduce the topic?
A．By providing background.
B．By borrowing phrases from great minds.
C．By giving definition.
D．By presenting well-known examples.
【2】what does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Promoter.
B．Cure.
C．Hope.
D．Must.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Nature exploration improves fitness.
B．Walking on a treadmill brings more energy.
C．Working indoors makes people less creative.
D．Familiar surroundings encourage novel ideas.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Exercise in Nature.
B．Train Your Brain.
C．Develop Your Creativity.
D．Walk for Wonder.
