The city extended over ten square miles before it was covered by a lava flow. That is a huge area with a lot of people. There are about 40, 000 building foundations there, which is about the same number of building foundations that are on the island of Manhattan. The Pur pecha's main buildings were loosely sited in eight zones around the edges rather than being located in one large center.“To think that this massive city existed in the heartland of Mexico for all this time and nobody knew it was there is amazing J says Chris Fisher, an archaeologist who led the expedition.The revelation of Angamuco is a prime example of the power and promise of lidar. Archaeologists discovered signs of the buried city in 2007 and initially attempted to explore it using a traditional "boots on the ground“ approach. But the team soon realized that with the rugged terrain, it would take at least a decade to outline the entire massive city.In 2011, they began using lidar to map nearly 14 square miles, revealing many astonishing features, from pyramids and temples to road systems, garden areas, and even ball courts. This gave them the "map" they needed to know where to explore further. So far, Fisher and his team have verified more than 7,000 architectural features over a 1.5-square-mile area. The earliest artifacts include ceramic fragments and other remains dating as far back as AD 900.All told, researchers now believe that more than 100, 000 people lived in Angamuco from about AD 1000 to AD 1350. That makes it the biggest city in western Mexico at the time-or at least the biggest city we know about so far."Everywhere you point the lidar instrument, you find new stufC,“ says Fisher. "Right now, every textbook has to be rewritten, and two years from now, they9re going to have to be rewritten again.” 47.may be necessary aids when lidar is used.A. GPS, software and laser pulsesB.

The area of the city was as big as that of the island of Manhattan.C. Angamuco was probably the biggest city in westen Mexico at that time.D. The rugged terrain in Angamuco prevented the explorers from using radar.48. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lidar has been widely accepted by the archaeologists in western Mexico.B. The current knowledge about the city of Angamuco might be out of date.C. But for lidar it would be impossible to know what the city of Angamuco looked like.D. The archaeologists spent almost ten years exploring Angamuco using traditional tools.V.

As the news spread through the world, a headline 11 many on social media: “royal beekeeper has informed the Queen9s bees that the Queen has died.”Did bees need to be told about human affairs? Would they have any sort of opinion on the matter?But some beekeepers, 12 by historians, say "telling the bees“ is a standard practice that goes back centuries, with potentially serious consequences if not followed.“It's a very old and 13 tradition, but not something that's very well-known,said Mark Norman, a folklorist and the author of Telling the Bees and Other 14: The Folkloreof Rural Crafts.The tradition holds that bees, as members of the family, should be informed of 15 life events in the family, especially births and deaths.
