请大家来看9楼提供的一道阅读原文！！！！！10号一战，悲催的楼主不知道换库了，昨天晚上还在那里背六月寂静

今天1战，哈哈，终于考完了，开心。感谢cd提供的超多资料，让我剩下啦钱和时间，感谢感谢，大家继续加油。  有一道阅读理解，就是说黑人和union之间的关系的演变的。经过摸索，他们发现union的employer搞好关系还是很重要的blablabla， 也正是因为意识到这一点他们的地位就迅速的提高啦。我只记得这么一点，后人多多补充。

恩！我也一样，13考，昨晚寻思还是看看jj吧，就一下阅读，逻辑全看了。晚上做梦梦见换裤子了，中午一查。。。

泾渭不凡

thx~

GWD26-Q32 to 35

In 1975 Chinese survey teams remeasured Mount Everest, the highest of the Himalayan mountains. Like the British in 1852, they used the age-old technique of “carrying in” sea level: surveyors marched inland from the coast for thousands of miles, stopping at increments of as little as a few feet to measure their elevation, and marking each increment with two poles. To measure the difference in elevation between poles, surveyors used an optical level—a telescope on a level base—placed halfway between the poles. They sighted each pole, reading off measurements that were then used to calculate the change in elevation over each increment. In sight of the peaks the used theodolites telescopes for measuring vertical and horizontal angles—to determine the elevation of the summit.

The Chinese, however, made efforts to correct for the errors that had plagued the British. One source of error is refraction, the bending of light beams as they pass through air layers of different temperature and pressure. Because light traveling down from a summit passes through many such layers, a surveyor could sight a mirage rather than the peak itself. To reduce refraction errors, the Chinese team carried in sea level to within five to twelve miles of Everest’s summit, decreasing the amount of air that light passed through on its way to their theodolites. The Chinese also launched weather balloons near their theodolites to measure atmospheric temperature and pressure changes to better estimate refraction errors. Another hurdle is the peak’s shape. When surveyors sight the summit, there is a risk they might not all measure the same point. In 1975 the Chinese installed the first survey beacon on Everest, a red reflector visible through a theodolite for ten miles, as a reference point. One more source of error is the unevenness of sea level. The British assumed that carrying in sea level would extend an imaginary line from the shore along Earth’s curve to a point beneath the Himalaya. In reality, sea level varies according to the irregular interior of the planet. The Chinese used a gravity meter to correct for local deviations in sea level.
