     The Ancient City of Aleppo
     In December 2018，UNESCO and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research Operational Satellite Application Programme published （出版） Five Years of Conflict：The State of Cultural Heritage in the Ancient City of Aleppo，using satellite images，which allowed for sites in unreachable areas to be viewed for the first time since the start of the conflict.UNESCO's cultural heritage experts worked closely with teams from UNITAR-UNOSAT，as well as historians，architects and archaeologists，to study the images，finding that more than 10 percent of the historic buildings of Aleppo have been completely destroyed and more than half have suffered different levels of damage.

• 2．"Do you go to a window when you hear a clap of thunder，or pounding rain，or see a streak of lightning （闪电） in the sky？Me too.Except I take my curiosity a little bit further.I go out and chase the biggest storms I can find. "
     The quote above was from Tim Samaras.Tim's curiosity started when be was about six years old when he saw the fantastic tornado in the movie the Wizard of Oz.And this curiosity took him in search of some of the worst storms and tornadoes in recent history.
     He spent over half of his life running into the path of tornadoes to place research tools in the right places to gather information.He battled dangerous and powerful winds，pounding rain，chunks of hail，and the eerie noise of a racing tornado many times.He even saw the destruction of an entire community.Tim was a storm researcher and an explorer.
     Tim didn't put himself in harm's way for the thrill of it；he did it for the science.His goal was to answer questions about tornadoes to help people better prepare for these violent storms.
     When Tim went after storms，sometimes the tables were turned and the storms chased him!That's exactly what happened to Tim and his team while tracking a tornado.Upon seeing the tornado change course and head directly for them，the team jumped into action and quickly set up a tornado measuring device and then quickly drove away.
     Besides chasing storms，Tim also wanted to inspire young people to study science and take up scientific research. "If you are as interested in weather as I do，learn as much as you can about weather.There are many colleges and universities that have active tornado research programs that allow students to participate at all levels.Most of all，keep your focus on what you want to do !Sometimes schoolwork can become very difficult.Keep at it，and you will do great!"

• 3．In some parts of Africa，there are still big herds of wild animals like zebras，elephants，and giraffes.But today many of these wild animals are in danger and it worries many conservationists.Louis Liebenberg is one of tjye.aim.He feels that having good information about animals is very important.People need to understand what happens to plants and animals over time.Are they increasing or decreasing in number？What plants are the animals eating？
     African Bushmen may be able to help.For hundreds of years，Bushmen have understood the ways of wild animal：what the animals eat；where the animals go；and even where they sleep.However，the Bushmen don't always speak the same language as the conservationists.This can cause problems when they work together.This is where the Cyber Tracker comes in.
     The Cyber Tracker is an invention created by Louis Liebenberg.He hopes that together，the Cyber Tracker and the Bushmen can help protect the animals.The Cyber Tracker is a small computer that helps collect information about animals.It uses pictures，called "icons，" instead of words to record information.There are pictures for drinking，walking，fighting，sleeping，eating and other things.This way，the Bushmen can record what they see even without speaking the same language.The Cyber Tracker can collect very detailed and complicated information very quickly.
     However，that's not the only thing the Cyber Tracker can do.The small computer also contains a global positioning device.Each time a Bushman sees something interesting about an animal or plant，he pushes a button.The Cyber Tracker records exactly where the man is in the world.The Bushman can also record what the animals are eating by pushing different buttons to name about 50 plants.
     However，Liebenberg adds that the human factor is also very important.A big part of the project is the Bushman's ability to understand and correctly report everything he sees.The combination of machine and man seems to work very well.With the data collected by the Cyber Tracker，Liebenberg make maps showing where the animal herds are and what the animals are eating，indicating facts about their health.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "conservationists" mean？

  
  A．Local people.

  B．Researchers can write down information.
  C．The software can identify about 50 plants.
  D．The invention uses pictures rather than language.
  （3）What is the main purpose of the Cyber Tracker？

• 4．Migraine is a disease that has a number of symptoms （症状），including head pain that can stick around from four hours to several days.While migraines can happen partly because of genetic problems，attacks may happen by chance，set off by a cause in the environment.
     One common cause is food，and some common dietary causes include alcohol，salt，sugar，chocolate，and caffeine.But there are many others，and scientists continue to identify more.Last year，for instance，a Brazilian study found that watermelons brought on a headache within minutes in about 30 percent of the participants.
     Some new researches are looking at which foods and what kinds of diets can prevent or lessen migraines.A new study published last year by a team of researchers found that a diet higher in fish oils rather than vegetable oils helped people ease their headaches.In the study，those on a diet lower in vegetable oil and higher in fatty fish had a 30 to 40 percent reduction in total headache hours per day，serious headache hours per day，and overall headache days per month compared to the control group.
     Tanya Kamka had suffered weekly migraines for most of her life.Then，in her 50s，she joined the NIH diet experiment and increased her intake of fish.After only a few months， "I haven't had a migraine，not even a mild one，in over two years. " she says.
     For others，the solution comes from plants，not fish.A 60-year-old man joined a study on the food-migraine link and turned to a diet，which includes a lot of dark，leafy greens.After two months he was experiencing only one migraine a month instead of the 18 to 24 a month he'd suffered before.
     Clearly，people with migraines react to food in very different ways.What works for one person may not work for another.
  
  （1）What can be learned from paragraph 1？

  
  A．Environment can cause migraine.
  B．The main cause of migraine is genes.
  C．Heavy headache can lead to migraine.
  D．Migraine lasts for at least three hours.
  （2）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？

  
  A．The length of migraine.
  B．Foods that lead to migraine.
  C．The most common cause of migraine.
  D．A Brazilian study about the cause of migraine.
  （3）What did the new study last year find？

  
  A．Taking more fish oils can help lessen migraines.
  B．People taking more vegetables can reduce migraines.
  C．The control group may have 30%-40% less migraines.
  D．More fish oils and less vegetables can cure migraines.
  （4）Why does the author mention Tanya and the 60-year-old man？

  
  A．To tell that both fish and plants have good effects on migraines.
  B．To show the influences of food on migraines vary from person to person.
  C．To suggest that fish oils work better than plant oils on reducing migraines.
  D．To prove whether different foods can help with migraines remains to be studied.
