【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.

During the flight

1 Boredom gives you the chance to pay attention to your discomfort. Instead, help pass the time by watching a movie, reading a book, writing a letter, walking up and down the aisle (过道), or listening to music.

Drink a lot and eat just a little. The longer the flight, the more the air dries out. 2 Stay away from wine and coffee because they can make you lose more water. Eat lightly.

Make yourself comfortable. Wear loose-fitting clothing and sit comfortably. 3 Avoid crossing your legs, and get any hard subjects out of your back pockets.

Get a good seat. Request a seat over the wing or the wheels. 4 Sitting in an aisle seat will make it easier for you to get up from your seat and will give you more legroom.

Sleep. If possible, sleep during night flights, and just take a very short sleep on day flights.

After arrival

There is no useful way to deal with jet lag (时差综合症). 5 For example, you can reset your watch when you take off, and you can eat and sleep at the local time right away.

【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.

1What'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.

2What 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.

3Why 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.

4What 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.”

1According 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

2What does the underlined word “comfy” in the last paragraph mean?

C.Combining.D.Comfortable.

3The 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.
