.Heritage sites are universally considered as the places where you can learn about the history of human development and social evolution. Therefore, if you have a keen interest in meeting your curiosity about it, the following on the UNESCO's World Heritage List will be a must-check list for you .
Dinosaur Provincial Park, Canada
The park is best known for its extensive fossil beds, within which 35 species of dinosaurs from about 100 to 65 million years ago have been identified. There are also fossilized remains of fish, reptiles, and amphibians. The area was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
Salonga National Park, Congo
This is the largest reserve in Congo, covering more than 14,000 square miles. The park was established in 1970. The thick forest provides habitats for various animals like parrots, elephants and monkeys. Park visitors observe the animals from motorized river boats. The park was entered into the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1984.
Hadrian 's Wall, England
This is a Roman barrier that guarded the border of Britain. Hadrian (ruled 117- 138 CE) went to Britain in 122 and was the first to build a wall, 80 miles long, to separate the Romans from the barbarians(野蛮人). There was no intention of fighting from the wall top; the soldiers there were trained to encounter the enemy in the open. In 1987, Hadrian's Wall was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.
Easter Island, Chile

When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs.Stanley was one of my customers. She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep, there'd be a cold drink waiting. I'd sit and drink while she talked.
Mrs.Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, "Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning." she'd say. The first time she said that, soda(汽水) went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd work it out of her system. So that's what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.
I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I'm doing. When I don't say "fine", she sticks around to hear my problems. She's lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you're doing because they care, and not because they're getting paid to do so. Sometimes it's good to just smile, nod your head and listen.
24.Why did soda go up the author's nose one time
A.He was shocked. B.He was talking fast.
C.He was in a hurry. D.He was absent-minded.
25.Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3
A.He wanted to be helpful. B.He enjoyed the drink.
C.He took the chance to rest. D.He tried to please his dad.
26.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "work it our of her system"
A.speak out about her past B.move out of the neighborhood
C.turn to her old friends D.recover from her sadness
27.What does the author think people in a community should do
A.Care about one another. B.Depend on each other.
C.Pay for other's help D.Open up to others.
C
The Earth is facing a climate crisis, but it’s also getting greener and leafier. According to new research, the rise is largely due to China and India.
A study by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), based on extensive satellite photographs and published in the journal Nature Sustainability, has revealed that the two countries with the world’s biggest populations are also responsible for the largest increase in greenness.
Since 2000, the planet’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 2 million square miles. That’s an area equivalent to the sum total of the Amazon rainforests, NASA says. But researchers stressed that the new greenery does not neutralize deforestation and its negative impacts on ecosystems elsewhere.
A third of the leaf increase is thanks to China and India, due to the implementation of major tree-planting projects alongside a vast increase in agriculture.
Using the data from a NASA sensor, researchers discovered that China is the source of a quarter of the increase in green leaf area, despite possessing only 6.6 percent of the world’s vegetated area (植被区). Forests account for 42 percent of that increase, while croplands make up a further 32 percent. China’s increase in forest area is the result of forest preservation and expansion programs, NASA said, established to fight against the impacts of climate change, air pollution and soil erosion (水土流失). India has contributed a further 6.8 percent rise in green leaf area, with 82 percent from croplands and 4.4 percent from forests.
Rama Nemani, a co-author of the study and a researcher at NASA’s Ames Research Center, said in a statement, “When the greening of the Earth was first observed, we thought it was due to a warmer, wetter climate and fertilization from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, leading to more leaf growth in northern forests, for instance.” “Now, with the data that lets us understand the phenomenon at really small scales, we see that humans are also contributing,” Nemani said. “This will help scientists make better predictions about the behavior of different Earth systems, which will help countries make better decisions about how and when to take action.”
Thomas Pugh, a professor at the University of Birmingham’s School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, said the NASA report expands scientists’ understanding of the causes behind global greening. But he also cautioned that a direct line cannot be drawn between an increase in global greening and a decrease in negative impacts of climate change.
28.The passage mainly tells us that _________.
A.China and India have the world’s largest green leaf areas
B.China and India are the lead role players in global greening
C.our planet is experiencing a climate crisis despite human efforts
D.our planet is getting greener due to the joint efforts of the world
29.What can be learned about China and India
A.The area of croplands in India is larger than that in China.
B.India’s rise in leaf area is largely due to its forestry program.
C.They both show a greater increase in forests than in croplands.
D.China boasts twenty-five percent of the global rise in leaf area.
30.According to Rama Nemani, their new findings are _______.
A.unexpected but significant B.surprising but valueless
C.predictable but disappointing D.uncontrollable but inspiring
31.What can be inferred from the passage
A.There is an indirect link between global greening and climate change.
B.The new greenery does not have any positive effect on the global climate.
C.The gain in greenness does not make up for the damage from loss of leaf area.
D.The increase in greening reduces the deforestation rate and its impact globally.
D
Video calls are a common occurrence, but have you imagined being able to touch the person on the other end of the line Scientists are making this a reality. Researchers at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have invented a soft skin stretch device (SSD), a haptic(触觉的) device that can recreate the sense of touch.
Haptic technology imitates the experience of touch by stimulating(刺激) localized areas of the skin in ways that are similar to what is felt in the real world through force, vibration(震动) or motion. Vibration is the most common haptic technology today and has been built into many electronic devices. However, the existing technology has great difficulty recreating the sense of touch with objects in virtual(虚拟的) environments or located remotely, according to Mai Thanh Thai, lead author of the study.
The new technology overcomes problems with existing haptic devices. The research team introduced a new method to recreate the sense of touch through soft, artificial “muscles”.
“Our three-way directional skin stretch device, built into the fingertips of the wearable haptic glove we also created, is like wearing a second skin — it’s soft, stretchable and imitates the sense of touch — and will enable new forms of haptic communication to improve everyday activities, said Thanh Nho Do, senior author of the study.
It works like this: Imagine you are at home and you call your friend who is in Australia. You wear a haptic glove with the SSDs and your friend also wears a glove with 3D force sensors. If your friend picks up an object, it will physically press against your friend’s fingers. And their glove with 3D force sensors will measure these interactions. The force signals can be sent to your glove so your device will generate the same 3D forces, making you experience the same sense of touch as your friend.
The haptic devices could be applied in various situations, allowing users to feel objects inside a virtual world or at a distance. This could be especially beneficial during such times like the COVID-19 pandemic when people rely on video calls to stay connected with loved ones. Or it could be used in medical practices. Doctors can feel a patient’s organ tissues(器官组织) with surgical tools without touching them.
32.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A.To encourage the use of a new product.
B.To inform readers of a new invention.
C.To compare different haptic devices.
D.To introduce the development of haptic technology.
33.What can we learn about the SSD
A.It recreates the sense of touch through muscles.
B.It takes the shape of a wearable glove.
C.It makes virtual haptic communication possible.
D.It has been built into many electronic devices.
34.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A.The advantages of the new haptic glove.
B.The applications of the new haptic technology.
C.An explanation of how the haptic device works.
D.A personal experience of using SSDs during a video call.
35.How could the new haptic device benefit people
A.It could replace video calls as a way to communicate.
B.It could be used for recreating organ tissues.
C.Doctors could perform surgeries from a distance.
D.Users could feel remote objects in a realistic way.
第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What do you imagine when you think of a forest You probably imagine a vast area of land covered with trees. But as many traditional forests are destroyed, tiny forests —some as small as a tennis court--- have sprung up(涌现)in cities around the world.36__________.
These mini forests are inspired by Akira Miyawaki, a botanist, or plant scientist from Japan who pioneered a special way of growing forests. 37_________It involves planting a wide variety of native trees close together and leaving them to grow into a forest. Miyawaki has planted more than 1,000 of these in Japan and other countries.
The Miyawaki method is said to grow trees 10 times faster than other methods. 38_________That's according to a 2018 study by Wageningen University, in the Netherlands. The study says the diversity of tree species attracts a greater variety of insects looking for food and shelter.
39________Boomforest is an organization in Paris, France. It planted two forests using the Japanese botanist's method. The group also teaches people how they can grow their own mini forests. In the Netherlands, IVN Nature Education has helped communities build 100 forests using the Miyawaki method. The group also educates kids about tiny forests.
Simon Lewis, a professor of global change science at University College London, is excited about tiny forests. He explains that it's important to grow trees because they absorb carbon dioxide. 40_______He hopes more people will use the Miyawaki method to plant mini forests.
A. It plans to double that number by 2022.
B. The Miyawaki method has become popular in Europe.
C. They're increasing biodiversity(生物多样性)and fighting climate change.
D. That's a gas that contributes to climate change.
E. Lewis points to trees grown and cut down to make paper.
F. It's known as the Miyawaki method.
G. And these tiny forests are more bio-diverse than traditional forests.
