When the UNESCO World Heritage Committee (WHC) met from July 16 to 31, 2021, they were tasked with addressing threats to some of the world's most treasured sites of priceless natural and cultural heritage. Among the issues the committee must face is the growing threat that dams cause to some of the world's most treasured World Heritage Sites.
A recent study found that over 500 dams under construction or planned worldwide would be built in protected areas, while dams threaten at least 80 World Heritage Sites. This number is only expected to grow as dam developers, faced with a reduction in the number of dam sites available, pursue increasingly reckless (不计后果的) projects such as the Batang Toru Dam, which experts say could lead to the extinction of the newly discovered Tapanuli orangutan (红毛猩猩).
The increasing impact of dams on World Heritage Sites has caused a global outcry, most recently in the case of the Selous Game Reserve, a World Heritage Site recognized as a biodiversity hotspot and one of the largest protected areas for African wildlife. The Tanzanian government's decision to construct the Julius Nyerere Dam in the Selous led to an angry proposal from UNESCO to remove it from the list altogether.
Meanwhile, history is in danger of repeating itself in Laos, where the planned Luang Prabang dam threatens the historic city it's named for. Luang Prabang, the old royal capital, was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1995. Despite this World Heritage status, the Mekong River, which flows through and is an important part of Luang Prabang's history, culture, and way of life, is under threat. The Laos' government is planning to build a dam, 25 kilometers upstream from Luang Prabang. Given the proposed dam's size and location, the dam will have major environmental impacts on the river system and surrounding area.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会召开会议，需要解决一些问题，其中要解决的一个严重问题就是水坝对世界上一些最珍贵的世界遗产所造成的威胁日益严重。

Before war and time destroy more of our important cultural sites, we need to save them in 3 D digital libraries. Across 163 different countries, 1,000 natural and cultural historic places make up our most precious human heritage, which UNESCO calls World Heritage Sites.
We lose a little of that heritage every day. War, climate change and pollution have a bad effect, as do wind and rain. The $4 million a year that UNESCO spends on preservation is not nearly enough to take care of even the four dozen sites considered at approaching risk of being lost forever. Now there's a better choice. New digital conservation technologies let us hold on to them, at least virtually, through 3 D scanning, modeling and digital storage. Such projects can be accomplished through cooperation between governments, universities, industry and non profit organizations.
To make a 3 D model, a laser scanner bounces light off an object and records the results. To reproduce every corner and opening, the scanner collects overlapping (重叠的) images from all possible angles. A computer then sews them together into one large surface image and draws lines from one point to another to create a wire frame model. High resolution digital cameras add color and texture. When fully put together, the models can be viewed, printed or operated.
These scans do more than preserve a memory in a database. With highly accurate measurements, archaeologists can find hidden passages or reveal ancient engineering tricks. School kids can explore places they might otherwise never see. And when a site is destroyed, the scans can even be used to reconstruct what was there. That has already happened for one World Heritage Site, the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda. Built of wood in 1882, they were destroyed by fire in 2010 and rebuilt in 2014, based in large part on 3 D models made in 2009. More than 100 World Heritage Sites have been already preserved as 3 D models, and conservationists are racing to record as many more as possible.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。利用三维数字技术可以更好地保护世界历史文化遗产。
8．How does the author show the necessity for 3 D digital libraries in the first two paragraphs
A．By listing the threats to our human heritage.
B．By introducing some damaged historical sites.
C．By quoting some experts' views on heritage protection.
D．By explaining UNESCO's research on World Heritage Sites.
解析：选A 推理判断题。通读第一、二段尤其是根据第一段中的“Before war and time ... libraries. ”和第二段中的“We lose a little of that heritage ... rain.”可知，人类遗产面临战争、气候变化和污染等方面的巨大威胁，作者通过列举人类遗产面临的威胁来说明建立三维数字图书馆的必要性。故选A项。
9．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A．The function of a laser scanner is to add color and texture to the image.
B．The reflection of light off an object is recorded in a computer.
C．The process of making a 3 D model is carried out with the help of a laser scanner.
D．High resolution digital cameras make the models viewable, printable, and operable.
解析：选C 段落大意题。通读第三段内容可知，本段主要介绍了三维模型的制作过程。故选C项。
10．What do we know about the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda
A．It is metal framed.
B．It is still in its original condition.
C．It was once destroyed in an earthquake.
D．It was reconstructed thanks to 3 D models.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“That has already happened ... in 2009. ”可知，乌干达的卡苏比陵墓的重建，主要基于2009年制造的三维模型。故选D项。
11．What does the author intend to say through this text
A．Never ignore the destructive power of war.
B．Take action to reduce pollution in historic places.
C．Take advantage of 3 D technology to keep history.
D．Invest more money to preserve World Heritage Sites.
解析：选C 写作意图题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Before war and time ... libraries. ”可知，作者写本文是想呼吁利用三维技术重建文化遗产，留住历史。故选C项。

Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it!
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story.In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar (酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso.This is “normal coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK.If you want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice.It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup.In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non touristy areas.Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点)．I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I'm living in.These cafés sell different kinds of mouth watering pastries — either plain (无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc — as well as delicious coffee.Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK.Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro and a cappuccino about 1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。咖啡是意大利文化的重要组成部分。文章主要介绍了意大利的咖啡文化。
12．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed
A．By time. B．By space.
C．By example. D．By comparison.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story.”可知，当然，咖啡在英国也很受欢迎，但意大利的咖啡文化则完全不同。结合后文对比了意大利和英国的咖啡文化。由此可推知，第二段主要运用了对比的手法来展开的。故选D。
13．Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions
A．Espresso. B．Lungo.
C．Cappuccino. D．Macchiato.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar (酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso.”可知，在意大利，当你在咖啡馆或酒吧点咖啡时，你会得到一杯微苦的意式浓缩咖啡。由此可知，如果没有特别说明，在意大利点的咖啡是浓缩咖啡。故选A。
14．What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy
A．Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.
B．Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.
C．Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee.
D．Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry(酥皮糕点)．”可知，通常，意大利酒吧的早餐包括一杯咖啡和一块点心。由此可知，通常意大利酒吧的早餐包括咖啡和糕点。故选D。
15．What does the author think of Italian coffee
A．She loves its bitter taste.
B．It is too expensive for her.
C．It is a good choice for breakfast.
D．The cup it is served in is too small.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.”可知，卡布奇诺在早餐时间很受欢迎，对“我”来说，奶油卡布奇诺和巧克力糕点是开始一天的完美方式。由此可推知，作者认为意大利的咖啡对于早餐是很好的选择。故选C。

There are many traditions around the world for ringing in the New Year. Here's a look at a few of them：
Drive off bad luck
Many cultures have traditions meant to scare off bad luck.This often involves using fire or loud noises in the form of fireworks! In Scotland, for example, people hold bonfire celebrations.Men from villages walk through the streets swinging giant burning fireballs over their heads. __16__.
Food for good luck
__17__.In the southern part of the United States, people often eat black eyed peas and pork for good luck in the New Year.In Spain, as the clock strikes midnight, people eat 12 grapes, which represent the 12 months of the year.It guarantees that the year will be filled with good luck.
Clothing traditions
Many people like to wear new clothing to start the New Year.In Romania, there is a tradition that involves dressing up in a bear costume (服装)．__18__， if this won't! In Brazil, some people wear colorful underwear on New Year's Eve.The most popular colors are red and yellow.__19__.Yellow is supposed to bring you money.
__20__
Many use the start of New Year as a time to try something new or change something about themselves.The New Year is a perfect time to change yourself for the better.That is why many people have the tradition of making a New Year's resolution (决心)．It is usually about living healthier or having more success in life.
These are just a handful of traditions.Tell us about a New Year's tradition in your culture!

B．I don't know what will scare off evil spirits
C．Make a New Year's resolution
D．Red is supposed to bring you love
E．Food plays an important role in people's life
F．And these fireballs are supposed to clean the coming year
G．Many cultures have certain diets that are said to bring good luck
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上不同国家辞旧迎新的传统和方式。
16．选F 根据空前一句可知，村民们走街串巷，摇动着举在头顶的燃烧着的大火球，下一句理应说明这种做法的传统意义，F项中的“these fireballs”与上文中的fireballs相呼应，因此F项承接上文。故选F项。
17．选G 根据该段标题Food for good luck可知，本段着重讲的是不同传统中能够带来好运的食物，且空后列举美国和西班牙的例子也证明了这一点。故选G。
18．选B 第四段讲不同传统中人们通过穿不同的衣服迎接新年。空处为主句，空后的“if this won't”为条件状语从句，结合选项可知，B项符合语境，空后的won't后面其实省略了scare off evil spirits。
19．选D 空前提到了“red”和“yellow”，空后讲到“yellow”的意义，由此可推知空处应为有关“red”的表述，故选D。
20．选C 根据本段的段意可推知，本段主要讲的是制订新年计划，故C项适合作本段标题。

语篇解读：本文主要介绍了重阳节的由来、意义以及相关的一些活动。
36．is celebrated 考查动词的时态和语态。这里是说“重阳节是在农历九月初九被庆祝”，此处陈述客观情况，且It指代上文中的“The Chong Yang Festival”，与celebrate之间是动宾关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态。
37．which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，且指代先行词The festival在从句中作主语，故用which。
38．highest 考查形容词的最高级。根据常识可知，数字从零到九，九是最高的奇数，故这里用形容词的最高级。
39．a 考查冠词。此处表示泛指，holiday作“节日”时是可数名词，且special的发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。
40．for 考查介词。show respect for sb.“向某人表示尊重”，是固定短语。
41．activities 考查名词复数。根据前面的“many”可知，这里要用名词的复数形式。
42．comes 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句子的主语是The festival，为单数，且此处陈述的是客观情况，所以用第三人称单数。
43．traditionally 考查副词。这里修饰句子，所以要用副词形式。
44．named 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作定语，修饰名词plant，且name与plant之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词形式。
45．falling 考查非谓语动词。空处在句中作介词from的宾语，故用动词 ing形式。prevent sb.from doing sth.“阻止某人做某事”，是固定用法。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
There was a time when I thought my dad didn't know a thing about a good father. I couldn't remember him ever saying the words “I love you”. He always said “No” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a car. Some parents bought their kids cars when they get their driver's licenses. Not my dad — he said that I'd have to get a job and buy my own.
So that's what I did. “I'll show him，” I said to myself. “If he won't get it for me, I'll get it for myself.” I got a job at a restaurant and saved every penny I could. When I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I drove the car home, I showed it off to my dad. “Look, dad, a car of my own — all on my own. If you ever want a ride, I'll only charge you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see.” was all he said.
One day, my father's truck had to go to the shop and wouldn't be ready to pick up until the next morning. So he needed a ride to work.“If that five dollar offer is still open，” my dad said.“I'll pay it to you.”
“Okay, but you have to pay on delivery, I don't accept credit (赊欠)．” I said.
“I see.” was all he said.
The sun wasn't even up when we left the house, but it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a hot day. As I dropped my dad off, I watched him, dressed in his work clothes, getting the tools from the trunk of my car. Watching his every move, I hoped that he'd hurry so that I could get back home for my own day. From a distance I could tell there were more lines on his face than before. I knew my dad wasn't as strong as before.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
I thought about it and realized how hard my dad worked for his family.
Paragraph 2：
When he closed the trunk, he walked over to my window to hand me my five dollars.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
I thought about it and realized how hard my dad worked for his family. He did this day in and day out, no matter how hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him complain about it. He had made great sacrifice for us. I thought about how much he must love us — so much that he's willing to do this hard labor in hot weather, and without so much as ever complaining or asking for anything in return. To him, we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
Paragraph 2：
When he closed the trunk, he walked over to my window to hand me my five dollars. I rolled down the window and said，“Keep your five dollars, dad. Don't work hard. I love you.”At first, he looked puzzled, then pleased.“I won't，”he said, and then added, “Thanks for the ride.”He cleared his throat and said, “Oh, and ... me, too.” As I drove away, I knew “me, too” was enough because my father showed me his love with his actions. At that moment, I decided I'd give him a ride in my car any time he wanted free of charge.UNIT 1 单元验收评价（二） 仿真高考检测

When the UNESCO World Heritage Committee (WHC) met from July 16 to 31, 2021, they were tasked with addressing threats to some of the world's most treasured sites of priceless natural and cultural heritage. Among the issues the committee must face is the growing threat that dams cause to some of the world's most treasured World Heritage Sites.
A recent study found that over 500 dams under construction or planned worldwide would be built in protected areas, while dams threaten at least 80 World Heritage Sites. This number is only expected to grow as dam developers, faced with a reduction in the number of dam sites available, pursue increasingly reckless (不计后果的) projects such as the Batang Toru Dam, which experts say could lead to the extinction of the newly discovered Tapanuli orangutan (红毛猩猩).
The increasing impact of dams on World Heritage Sites has caused a global outcry, most recently in the case of the Selous Game Reserve, a World Heritage Site recognized as a biodiversity hotspot and one of the largest protected areas for African wildlife. The Tanzanian government's decision to construct the Julius Nyerere Dam in the Selous led to an angry proposal from UNESCO to remove it from the list altogether.
Meanwhile, history is in danger of repeating itself in Laos, where the planned Luang Prabang dam threatens the historic city it's named for. Luang Prabang, the old royal capital, was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1995. Despite this World Heritage status, the Mekong River, which flows through and is an important part of Luang Prabang's history, culture, and way of life, is under threat. The Laos' government is planning to build a dam, 25 kilometers upstream from Luang Prabang. Given the proposed dam's size and location, the dam will have major environmental impacts on the river system and surrounding area.
4．Which was an unavoidable topic at the meeting of WHC in 2021
A．The number of dams under construction or planned worldwide.
B．The growing threat that dams cause to World Heritage Sites.
C．The extinction of the endangered animals in the whole world.
D．The measures that some major countries' governments took.
5．What can we know about Batang Toru dam
A．It is a project in Tanzania.
B．It blocks Mekong River.
C．It could threaten a historic city.
D．It could endanger a species.
6．What's UNESCO's attitude towards the construction of Julius Nyerere Dam
A．Unfavourable. B．Curious.
C．Interested. D．Thankful.
7．From which is the text probably taken
A．A novel. B．A newspaper.
C．A guidebook. D．A health magazine.
C
Before war and time destroy more of our important cultural sites, we need to save them in 3 D digital libraries. Across 163 different countries, 1,000 natural and cultural historic places make up our most precious human heritage, which UNESCO calls World Heritage Sites.
We lose a little of that heritage every day. War, climate change and pollution have a bad effect, as do wind and rain. The $4 million a year that UNESCO spends on preservation is not nearly enough to take care of even the four dozen sites considered at approaching risk of being lost forever. Now there's a better choice. New digital conservation technologies let us hold on to them, at least virtually, through 3 D scanning, modeling and digital storage. Such projects can be accomplished through cooperation between governments, universities, industry and non profit organizations.
To make a 3 D model, a laser scanner bounces light off an object and records the results. To reproduce every corner and opening, the scanner collects overlapping (重叠的) images from all possible angles. A computer then sews them together into one large surface image and draws lines from one point to another to create a wire frame model. High resolution digital cameras add color and texture. When fully put together, the models can be viewed, printed or operated.
These scans do more than preserve a memory in a database. With highly accurate measurements, archaeologists can find hidden passages or reveal ancient engineering tricks. School kids can explore places they might otherwise never see. And when a site is destroyed, the scans can even be used to reconstruct what was there. That has already happened for one World Heritage Site, the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda. Built of wood in 1882, they were destroyed by fire in 2010 and rebuilt in 2014, based in large part on 3 D models made in 2009. More than 100 World Heritage Sites have been already preserved as 3 D models, and conservationists are racing to record as many more as possible.
8．How does the author show the necessity for 3 D digital libraries in the first two paragraphs
A．By listing the threats to our human heritage.
B．By introducing some damaged historical sites.
C．By quoting some experts' views on heritage protection.
D．By explaining UNESCO's research on World Heritage Sites.
9．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A．The function of a laser scanner is to add color and texture to the image.
B．The reflection of light off an object is recorded in a computer.
C．The process of making a 3 D model is carried out with the help of a laser scanner.
D．High resolution digital cameras make the models viewable, printable, and operable.
10．What do we know about the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda
A．It is metal framed.
B．It is still in its original condition.
C．It was once destroyed in an earthquake.
D．It was reconstructed thanks to 3 D models.
11．What does the author intend to say through this text
A．Never ignore the destructive power of war.
B．Take action to reduce pollution in historic places.
C．Take advantage of 3 D technology to keep history.
D．Invest more money to preserve World Heritage Sites.

Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago, I have drunk a lot of it!
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story.In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar (酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso.This is “normal coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK.If you want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice.It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup.In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non touristy areas.Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点)．I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I'm living in.These cafés sell different kinds of mouth watering pastries — either plain (无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc — as well as delicious coffee.Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK.Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro and a cappuccino about 1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.
12．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed
A．By time. B．By space.
C．By example. D．By comparison.
13．Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions
A．Espresso. B．Lungo.
C．Cappuccino. D．Macchiato.
14．What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy
A．Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.
B．Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.
C．Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee.
D．Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.
15．What does the author think of Italian coffee
A．She loves its bitter taste.
B．It is too expensive for her.
C．It is a good choice for breakfast.
D．The cup it is served in is too small.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
There was a time when I thought my dad didn't know a thing about a good father. I couldn't remember him ever saying the words “I love you”. He always said “No” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a car. Some parents bought their kids cars when they get their driver's licenses. Not my dad — he said that I'd have to get a job and buy my own.
So that's what I did. “I'll show him，” I said to myself. “If he won't get it for me, I'll get it for myself.” I got a job at a restaurant and saved every penny I could. When I had enough to buy my car, I did! The day I drove the car home, I showed it off to my dad. “Look, dad, a car of my own — all on my own. If you ever want a ride, I'll only charge you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see.” was all he said.
One day, my father's truck had to go to the shop and wouldn't be ready to pick up until the next morning. So he needed a ride to work.“If that five dollar offer is still open，” my dad said.“I'll pay it to you.”
“Okay, but you have to pay on delivery, I don't accept credit (赊欠)．” I said.
“I see.” was all he said.
The sun wasn't even up when we left the house, but it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a hot day. As I dropped my dad off, I watched him, dressed in his work clothes, getting the tools from the trunk of my car. Watching his every move, I hoped that he'd hurry so that I could get back home for my own day. From a distance I could tell there were more lines on his face than before. I knew my dad wasn't as strong as before.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1：
I thought about it and realized how hard my dad worked for his family.
Paragraph 2：
When he closed the trunk, he walked over to my window to hand me my five dollars.
