23、eteers sing and dance during the showsCDo you know how underground cultural relics were discovered? Do you know how they were located? Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) can solve your puzzles.GPR uses radio waves to locate, identify objects under the ground and map various structures underground. It al
24、lows users to locate underground objects without digging or disturbing the ground. Its the best feature of GPR.GPR mainly requires two antennas and a computer and display. In order to complete mapping, GPR is pulled along the ground by hand or behind a truck. One antenna sends radio waves down into
25、the ground. Then, the radio waves are reflected from different buried objects or earth materials. The other antenna receives the reflected waves. The computer deals with the data of the reflected waves, and stores it. The result is shown on the display in different colors. With the information, the
26、user can infer the types of objects as well as their depths.How deep can the waves reach beneath the ground? It depends on different conditions. The waves can reach the place a few meters to more than one hundred meters underground. Normally, the waves with low frequency can go deeper into the groun
27、d than the high-frequency waves. The depth is also determined by the types of underground materials in the area. In areas with clay soils, like the lakeside, this depth is only up to a few meters. In areas of sandy soils, like dry highlands, this depth can be much deeper.With its high accuracy, fast
28、 speed, low cost and easy operation, GPR is applied in various fields. For example, with the help of GPR on the Jade Hare-2 Rover, Chinese scientists have made a big step in studying the soil and rock of the Moon. GPR provides scientists plenty of data to research the thickness, movements and struct
29、ures of glaciers. GPR also helps the police locate hidden evidence. Besides, GPR can be used to check the quality of city road, detect the underground power lines and so on.The scientists are still working on improving antenna design, signal processing and imaging technology. GPR is believed to be e
30、ffective in more fields with its development.23. Whats the huge advantage of GPR?A. Helping find cultural relics.B. Not using maps.C. Identifying underground objects.D. Not damaging the ground.24. What can we learn about radio waves according to the passage?A. High-frequency radio waves go deep.B. A
