1．Experts using a high-tech laser scanner（激光扫描仪） have discovered thousands of ancient Maya buildings hidden under the thick forests of northern Guatemala，officials said Thursday.Some 60，000 buildings were found over the past two years in a scan of an area in the northern department of El Peten between Mexico and Belize，said Marcello Canuto，one of the projects' lead researchers.
These findings are a "breakthrough in Maya archeology（考古），" Canuto said.
The new discoveries in this Central American country include city centers with sidewalks，homes，wide steps，farming facilities and so on，said Canuto，an archaeologist at Tulane University in the United States.
Among the finds was a 30-meter high pyramid （金字塔） that had been earlier recognized as a natural hill in Tikal.Also discovered in Tikal：a series of holes and a 14 kilometer-long wall.
The Maya development reached its height in what is present-day southern Mexico，Guatemala，and parts of Belize，El Salvador and Honduras between 250 and 950 CE.Researchers now believe that the Maya had a population of 10 million，which is "much higher" than previous judgment，Canuto said.
The project depended on a remote（远程的）sensing method known as LiDAR （Light Detection and Ranging）.Aircraft with a LiDAR scanner produced 3 D maps of the surface by using light in the form of laser linked to a GPS system.
The technology helped researchers discover sites much faster than using traditional archeological methods. "Now it is no longer necessary to cut through the jungle to see what's under it，" said Canuto.
Details of the research will appear in a documentary to air on February 11 on the National Geographic TV channel，said Minister of Culture and Sports Jose Luis Chea.

3．When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list，fur probably didn't cross your mind.But some ecologists and fashion（时装）enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria（海狸鼠）.
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have（showcased）nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. "It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year"，says Cree McCree，project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters ﹩5 a tail.Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. "The ecosystem down there can't handle this non-native species（物种）.It's destroying the environment.It's them or us，" says Michael Massimi，an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana.He says it's not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green，but he has no doubt about it.Hunters bring in more than 300，000 nutria tails a year，so part of Mouton's job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions.Model Paige Morgan says，"To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them — I think that's going to be a massive thing，at least here in New York." Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable.She's trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
（1）What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn？
A．To promote guilt-free fur.
B．To expand the fashion market.
C．To introduce a new brand.
D．To celebrate a winter holiday.
（2）Why are scientists concerned about nutria？
A．Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B．Nutria are an endangered species.
C．Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D．Nutria are illegally hunted.
（3）What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan？
A．It's formal.
B．It's risky.
C．It's harmful.
D．It's traditional.组卷：1引用：1难度：0.5
