【6】to keep
【7】participating
【8】groups
【9】that/which
【10】largest
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了地球日的历史与发展。
【1】考查时态语态。句意:世界各地都举办各种活动来支持环境保护。陈述的是客观事实,Various activities与 hold之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为Various activities,谓语动词用复数形式,故填are held。
【2】考查定冠词。句意:以下是这一事件的简要历史。此处特指Earth Day,应该用定冠词,故填the。
【3】考查介词。句意:20世纪60年代,美国人开始意识到污染对环境的影响。effects on/upon是固定搭配,表示“对……的影响”,故填on/upon。
【4】考查非谓语动词。句意:1969年,被认为是现代环境运动领袖之一的盖洛德纳尔逊参议员提出了地球日的概念。Gaylord Nelson与consider之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动,用过去分词作后置定语,故填considered。
【5】考查名词。句意:他的想法确实提高了人们对环境的认识。作动词raised的宾语用名词,故填awareness。
【6】考查非谓语动词。句意:他们认为保护地球安全很重要。分析句子结构可知,it为形式主语,用不定式作真正的主语,故填to keep。
【7】考查非谓语动词。句意:1990年,地球日走向全球,140多个国家的2亿人参与其中。此处为“with+宾语+宾补”的复合结构,people in over 140 nations与participate之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表示主动,用现在分词作宾语补足语,故填participating。
【8】考查名词复数。句意:2000年,地球日以清洁能源为主题,涉及184个国家和5000个环境组织的数亿人。5000修饰可数名词复数,故填groups。
【9】考查定语从句。句意:如今,这个节日是一个全球性的庆祝活动,有时会延长为地球周。
此处为定语从句,关系词指代先行词a global celebration并在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
【10】考查形容词最高级。句意:2018年,超过10亿人参与了地球日活动,使之成为世界上规模最大的活动之一。one of后的名词通常用形容词最高级修饰,故填largest。

【题目】 Long plane trips can be tiring. Luckily, there are things you can do both during and after a long flight that can help reduce (减轻) your discomfort.

【题目】 Archeology (考古学)isn't the dusty science it was a generation ago. New technologies that once seemed out of sci-fi are now locating buried traces of buildings and revealing the ruins of cities.
For more than a decade, Sarah Parcak and her team have been on the front line of this revolution. They use satellite images to find and explore ancient sites around the globe. Now they're about to take on a new challenge as they focus Global Xplorer citizen-science project on India.
In 2017, Parcak launched an online platform, called Global Xplorer, to crowd source (群众外包)the initial assessment of satellite images for signs of cultures from long ago. Anyone in the world with a computer and Internet access could help discover and protect remains of Peru's rich cultural heritage. The results have been surprising. About 80,000 participants from a hundred countries have identified 19,000 sites that were not in Peru's database. The platform for Peru is still running.
If all goes well, the work in India could last for years. "India has had relatively little archaeological work done," Parcak says. Also, the full extent of India's archaeological work has never been mapped completely. Parcak expects her project to make up that. “Wherever we end up going, the crowd's going to be able to see extraordinary things," Parcak says.
Thirty six India's cultural heritage relics are already listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Parcak thinks there could be tens of thousands of as yet unknown sites mapped as part of this project. The discoveries promise to be amazing across the land that has seen a parade of cultures come and go.
In the future, she hopes other countries will contact her to launch their own satellite surveys. The possibilities are huge. Parcak estimates that there are at least 12 million potential archaeological sites yet to be discovered. That means the sky is the limit for her project now that it has gotten off the ground successfully.
【1】What's the purpose of Parcak's project?
A.To interview citizens via the Internet.
B.To dig out more remains of ancient cities.
C.To build databases for unknown cultural heritage.
D.To identify unknown ancient sites through joint efforts.
【2】What do we know about the participants in Peru project?
A.They are Internet-equipped volunteers.
B.They are well-trained voluntary scholars.
C.They are mostly fans of archeology in Peru.
D.They are all archaeologists all over the world.
【3】Why is Parcak's project important to India?
A.India lacks thorough archaeological work.
B.Indians call for the protection of their rich cultures.
C.There's no amazing archaeological discovery in India.
D.India needs more relics listed as World Heritage Sites.
【4】What does the underlined sentence "The possibilities are huge. " in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.Parcak's project will become successful.
B.Few countries will start satellite surveys.
C.There will be amazing discoveries in India.
D.More archaeological sites will be identified.

【题目】What are some of your favorite memories of the University?
In preparation for each fall’s 50th reunion members of the milestone class are asked to recall campus memories for an annual Memory Book.
Here’s a small selection of some memories from the Class of 1969.
Phyllis Jo Baunach
“…I cannot forget the endless hours studying, researching, and learning in the middle of the musty books in the stacks. We did everything by hand! But the joys of ideas coming to life and understanding thorny concepts are priceless.
Additionally, I cannot forget the joyful hours of Co-Kast rehearsals for student-written-and-directed plays, and the thrill of audiences’ responses to our efforts. Nor will I ever forget taking voice lessons at the Eastman School of Music. This course gave me confidence to try new musical approaches and to think on my feet.”
Paul Boehm
“…many sweet and lasting memories-five feet of deep snow, getting stranded on the Thruway, music at Hylie Morris’s Alley, and, of course, I met my wife of 48 years, Eller Blazer Boehm from the Class of 1972, when she was a freshman and I was a senior. As a five-year chemical engineering major, I had one elective to spare, and Ellen said, ‘How about oceanography?’ So, I enrolled in oceanography with Dr. Taro Takahashi (the famous climate scientist), which awakened my environmental juices, and changed my professional direction.”
Farel Vella McClure
“…I truly loved my four undergraduate years at the University of Rochester. In fact. I loved it so much that I stayed an extra year to get a master’s degree! I was very fortunate to have been totally immersed in student life on campus. My memories include campaigning and winning a seat on the student government during my freshman year. Other memories include the Susan B. Anthony banquet, and sleeping in the comfy chairs in the library. I was also privileged to be selected as a student representative on the design team for the new Wilson Commons. I. M. Pei, the famous architect who designed the Louvre Pyramid, was the architect for Wilson Commons. We even visited his offices in New York to see the ‘master’ at work.”
【1】According to the passage, Paul Boehm .
A.married Ellen Blazer in 1972
B.disliked his major in university
C.became a famous climate scientist later
D.discovered his interest in environmental science
【2】What does the underlined word “comfy” in the last paragraph mean?

C.Combining.D.Comfortable.
【3】The three people all talked about .
A.their beloved professors
B.their great friendship

I’m writing to tell you something about the discussion on if it is necessary for senior one student to take the one-week military training. Students’ views on it varies from person to person.
Some held that it is necessary. On one hand, it can improve students’ teamwork spirit, who will play an important part in their life and study. On the other hand, it is no doubt that they become stronger physically and mentally through the training.
Besides, the others have opposite views. They think it is waste of time. Meanwhile, students get burnt easy without any protection in the sun.
As far as I’m concerned about, though we may feel tired during the training, it goes without saying that the one-week military training is meaningful.
