UNESCO World Heritage Sites were created to celebrate and safeguard the most unique places around the world.Below are my 4 favorite UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Cinque Terre,Italy
With cars banned here,you’ll really get to feel the unique history and character of the Cinque Terre’s five centuries-old coastal villages.The breathtaking views of harbors(港口) far below the wild coastline along with the rich colors will definitely make it a memorable holiday.
Angkor Wat,Cambodia
Angkor Wat is the world’s largest religious(宗教的) monument and it contains impressive remains from the Khmer Empire (9th to 15th century).The site has dozens of iconic temples like Ta Prohm (a magnificent temple ruin hidden in the jungle).Hosting more than two million visitors annually,this artistic masterpiece is a must-see site.
Petra,Jordan
Petra’s rock-cut architecture has contributed to its nickname,the Rose City,based on the color of the stone it was carved from.The delicate constructions of temples and tombs along with the remains of churches and temples are only a couple of reasons why this world-famous site is a must-visit destination.
Yellowstone National Park,USA
Yellowstone’s vast wilderness includes mountain ranges,lakes and waterfalls.One of the main reasons for tourists to visit Yellowstone is to observe the amazing wildlife like grizzly bear,bison,bighorn sheep wander the plains and valleys.

A Pakistani Wildlife team,which runs a breeding programme,has been taking care of green turtle babies during this breeding season.When a female turtle walked across the Karachi beach late one night,workers from the Sindh Wildlife group in Pakistan watched and waited patiently.The female turtle buried a hundred or more eggs in the sand before heading back out into the sea.
The pandemic(流行病) has led to emptier coastal areas around the world.Sea turtles have used the chance to return to their birthplaces in large numbers,reclaiming the less-polluted,quieter beaches to lay their eggs during the main September-November breeding season.
“The turtles have still had enough egg-laying chances during this period.In this season,we have had a large number of turtles coming here.The result is that we have helped 6,000 eggs so far,” said Ashfaq Ali Memon,who leads Sindh Wildlife’s Sea Turtle Unit.
As soon as the mother turtle leaves,workers hurry to dig out the eggs.They move them to a one-meter-deep hole in a hatchery(孵化处) until the babies come out of the eggs,about 40 to 45 days later.The new turtles are taken to the beach immediately and set free into the sea.
The Sindh turtle unit has set free 860,000 turtle babies to the sea since being set up in 1970.Memon said 900 had been set free so far this season.
Experts say that in the past,sea turtle populations were endangered by demand for their fat,meat and eggs,but in recent years loss of habitat from pollution and land reclamation have also threatened the animals.
4.How many baby turtles have been set free to the sea so far in this season
A.900. B.5,100.
C.6,000. D.860,000.
5.Which of the following best describes the breeding programme
A.Costly. B.Ineffective.
C.Successful. D.Considerable.
6.What caused the decrease of sea turtle populations
A.The loss of their food.
B.The loss of their habitat.
C.The effect of the pandemic.
D.The demand for their shell.
7.What does the passage mainly focus on
A.The reason why green turtles are endangered.
B.The way the team protects green turtle babies.
C.The reason why the team takes care of green turtle babies.
D.A Pakistani Wildlife team takes care of green turtle babies.

When we see a person in trouble our immediate reaction is to lend a hand.But what if we see an animal in trouble,does the same rule apply
This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from an icy gully(峡谷) in Antarctica.It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties.After seeing that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young the film crew were so concerned about their safety that they built a slope(斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves.
The case has taken the international media by storm.Viewers watching this film let out a sigh of relief.“I’m so glad.I understand not getting directly involved,but a helping hand isn’t bothering,right ”viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Meta.
However,others think human interference(干涉) is unnatural.“You can’t have sunshine throughout your life.To have done anything else would only make matters worse,” said the show’s creator David Attenborough,according to TheTimes.
In this case,however,Mike Gunton,the executive producer of the series,said that this was a one-off situation.“There were no animals going to suffer by interfering.You weren’t touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this.They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope,” he told the BBC.
Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen,wildlife photographer for National Geographic.He told Metro,“If it’s ever a predator(捕食者) situation,no matter how gut-wrenching,you stay out of the way.Even when you’re watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.”
“There’s no rule book in those situations.You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you,” Will Lawson,the show’s director,told DailyMail.
8.What has caused a heated media discussion
A.People’s various comments on penguins.
B.The ways of helping the trapped penguins.
C.Some penguins’ sufferings in a gully.
D.Ways of filming the series Dynasties.
9.How did the film crew feel when seeing the trapped penguins
A.Anxious. B.Sad.
C.Annoyed. D.Thrilled.
10.Which human activity is considered proper in Paul Nicklen’s opinion
A.Shooting an eagle catching a snake.
B.Preventing a polar bear eating a baby bear.
C.Watching a lion attacking a deer.
D.Distracting a crocodile biting an antelope.
11.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.The Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals in Trouble
B.Suggestions on How to Save Animals in Trouble
C.Effects of Human Interference on Animals in Trouble
D.Opinions on Whether to Help Animals in Trouble
D
The effects of noise can reach organisms(生物体) without ears.Because of the way living things rely on each other,noise pollution may actually stop some forests from growing,a new study suggests.In a New Mexico woodland of pine trees,researchers found far fewer tree seedlings(小苗) in noisy sites than they did in quiet ones.
The study area is dotted with gas wells,some of which are quiet and some of which have compressors(压缩机) that create a constant noise.This allowed Jennifer Phillips,a behavioral ecologist at Texas A&M University—San Antonio and her colleagues to compare sites that were similar except for noise level.In areas that had been noisy for at least 15 years,the researchers found only about 13 pine seedlings,compared with 55 pine seedlings per hectare(公顷) in quiet areas.
The differences in plant growth were probably caused by changes in animal behavior,said Phillips.For example,noise might drive away certain pollinators(传粉昆虫) such as bees,bats and moths.In the case of pine trees,the problem was likely a lack of animals to disperse seeds.Pines depend on birds to carry their seeds away from the parent tree,and birds are known to avoid noise.The differences between the sites aren’t yet obvious to someone walking through them,said Sarah Termondt,a botanist(植物学家) with the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service who helped conduct the study.That’s probably because pines are slow-growing,with most of the mature trees in such woodlands being over a century old.
The study raises questions about the future of the area.“If the noise stays there long term,are we going to lose this important ecosystem of the pine which supports so much wildlife ” said Phillips.The study was published today in the journal ProceedingsoftheRoyalSociety.
12.What does the new study focus on
A.The influence of noise pollution on plants.
B.The way the organisms receive noise.
C.The harm of noise pollution to insects.
D.The effects of noise pollution on humans.
13.What can be learned from paragraphs 2 and 3
A.Gas wells dotted in the area provide favorable conditions for the study.
B.The study sites are different in many ways including their noise level.
C.It is difficult for plants to live without noise and animals.
D.People can easily find the difference between the noisy and the quiet sites.
14.What does the underlined word “mature” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Seedling. B.Thin.
C.Grown-up. D.Tall.
15.What does Phillips mean by saying the words in the last paragraph
A.Noise pollution is obviously a trouble that can be avoided.
B.Noise pollution could be a threat with the power to change ecosystems.
C.The pine forest is important because it supports so much wildlife.
D.Wildlife should be well protected for the future of this area.

Children should spend at least one hour playing and spending time in nature each day,according to the Wildlife Trusts(野生生物基金会). 16 It is now calling on the government to include nature time into daily school life.
17 Its 451 students in the study were 8 or 9 years of age.They were interviewed before and after nature activities.The activities were run by the Wildlife Trusts over the course of several weeks,such as learning about plants and trees.
The children showed a great increase in personal health. 18 90 percent said they learned something new about the natural world;79 percent felt the experience would help their schoolwork; 19 Perhaps most importantly,79 percent mentioned they would believe more in themselves.
20 And the time has been reducing greatly in recent years.A 2017 report found that less than 10 percent British kids enjoy themselves in nature,compared to 40 percent of adults when they were younger years ago.To improve the situation,the organization is calling on the government to free up a daily hour for nature time for kids.
A.Parents care much about their kids’ nature time.
B.However,parents on their own aren’t giving kids that time.
C.81 percent said they had better relationships with their teachers.
D.The calling comes from a study by University College London.
E.The students are asked to study in University College London for one day.
F.The UK organization speaks for 46 groups and 2,300 nature protection areas.
G.And they also showed a sense of connection with the natural world and high levels of enjoyment.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’m crazy about running.Sometimes the pain of running can have a magic influence on a runner.Throughout any given race,you are suffering.Your lungs feel like they’re being squeezed(挤压) by something unseen.But it is in this pain that a great runner is created.
My first cross-country coach told me that every race is run with patience and determination.I’ve carried this advice with me for hundreds of miles.I especially remember the 5 miles of running in one race,where his words encouraged me a lot.
That day the weather was perfect.I and dozens of runners gathered at the starting line to do some last-minute preparations for the running.Then,we lined up and got ready to start.There was a brief moment before the gun gave a signal of running.In that moment of great stress,I determined to push myself to run as fast as possible,hoping to make my coach proud,who was waiting for me at the finish line.When the sound of “Bang” came up,we were off.
Running between runners,I managed to work my way up in the first 400 meters and passed many racers on my sides.But out of good sportsmanship,we each said a “good job” or “keep up” to every person we passed.Although we were competitors,running was a connection we all shared.
The first mile passed quickly in a feeling of excitement.It was not challenging in the beginning of the running.But I knew it would be harder and harder in the following miles.I made full use of the running skills that my coach had taught me.I checked that I was doing everything right,breathing in through my nose,keeping my hands relaxed and pumping(快速摆动) my arms.However,the shadow of tiredness danced before me.Anyway I tried to push it out of my mind.
With time going by,the competition became fiercer.Every runner tried their best to run in order to gain a good place in the race.Audience along the track shouted and cheered us.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Eventually I reached the final mile. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

W:Hello,everyone.My name is Joy,a club founder of my school.Now I’d like to talk about my story.
I founded a student club named “Green Planet” in 2015 inspired by Chai Jing’s documentary UndertheDome.Every day our club members broadcast weather reports and PM 2.5 levels.Meanwhile,my club also shares suggestions on how to live a low-carbon life on the school board.For example,take public transportation or carpool to school,do less shopping and so on.
At first I was laughed at for being crazy,but I insisted,and then published articles and pictures of the serious pollution of the city on the school website.Luckily,I persuaded my headmaster and friends to join.Since then,we’ve worked together to promote our club.And up to now,85% of the students have joined us and enjoyed the simple but eco-friendly life.
Such is Joy,a responsible and persistent girl.Please choose me to be your student.Thank you!

第一节
Good afternoon,everyone!
What is known to all is that all the animals play a part in keeping the balance of nature.Unfortunately,many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction.The reasons are various.On the one hand,the environment that they are living in has been greatly destroyed.On the other hand,they are being over hunted.
So we must take measures to protect them.We should raise our awareness of animal protection.Besides,let’s make every effort to protect animals’ living environment.
I hope we can live in harmony with animals.Let’s take action.
That’s all.Thanks for your listening.
第二节
EventuallyIreachedthefinalmile.It was then that I felt extremely tired and sweat fell down my face.Many runners in the race had fallen behind,but I refused to be one of them.Instead,I chose to pump my legs a little faster and push myself a little harder.As the last half mile was near,the number of people along the track increased.Around the next corner,I could see my coach waving to me in great excitement.I tried to run faster.
Unfortunately,Isuddenlyfelldown.I felt great pain and discouraged.Just at that moment,the audience shouted,“Come on,girl!”“Watch out!”“Keep up!” Meanwhile,a runner behind me came to me and gave me a lift.I was really grateful and encouraged.I stood up and ran for the final 400 metres.When I finally sailed over the finish line,I nearly cried with relief.I won the third place in the race.My coach was proud of me and I felt great too.
