Examples of effective conservation of places matter to the world.They range from the 1960s Nubian campaign to safeguard Ancient Egyptian monuments from the waters of the Aswan Dam to the removal in 2018 of the Belize Barrier Reef from the List of World Heritage in Danger.Conservation is the core purpose of the World Heritage Convention and it may also be its biggest challenge.
The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable(可持续性) development.A year after Vienna was included on the World Heritage List in 2001,the World Heritage Committee(WHC) expressed concerns about the architectural solutions and height of four planned towers of the Wien-Mitte project.This development project,close to the Historic Centre of Vienna in the site’s buffer zone,the one that lies between two or more other areas,affected the urban scale(规模) and visual effects in and around the property(地产).As a result of the Committee’s concerns,Vienna changed its building codes and launched a new design competition for the Wien-Mitte project to work out architectural plans with reduced size in keeping with world heritage protection.
The successful practice inspired the government of the city to invite over 600 experts and professionals from 55 countries to an international conference on world heritage and contemporary architecture,held in Vienna in May 2005.The global discussion that followed,detailing an approach to managing conservation and development,was recorded in the UNESCO Recommendation in 2011.
The Recommendation put forwards an all-rounded and combined approach to balancing urban heritage conservation and economic development,arguing that active protection and management of urban heritage supports the goal of sustainable development.
The Recommendation supports the harmonious combination of contemporary involvement into the historic urban framework while holding on to values linked to history,memory and the environment.
24.Why does the author mention the Belize Barrier Reef in paragraph 1
A.To explain the goal of the organisation.
B.To encourage the public to protect the world.
C.To show the positive effect of conservation.
D.To remind people of the environmental problems.
25.WhywasWHCworriedabouttheWien-Mitteproject

“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five,”a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted.“Your blood sugars are much too high.”It consumed me.No matter where I was or what I was doing,it was overhead like a dark cloud,waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.
I liked painting.Losing myself in painting filled me with peace.Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.
When I was twenty-one,my right eye went blind.Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday,I had a massive hemorrhage(大出血) in my left eye because of an accident.For the next twenty years,vision came and went.I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision.But after one final operation,I lost the battle and all remaining vision.And I buried all dreams of painting.
Desperate,I enrolled in(注册) a sixteen-week programme for the blind and visually impaired(损伤的).I learnt personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software.A whole new world opened up to me through this programme.
“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,”my instructor told me.“You can use the Internet,e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.”It’s amazing!Hope went up for the first time in years.“By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse,you can use Microsoft Access,Excel and Powerpoint,”my instructor added.
For the next several years,I learnt that when one door closes,another door opens.There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology.Not only do I have a speaking computer,but I have a speaking watch,alarm clock and calculator.
28.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to
A.The right opportunity.
B.Losing sight in the future.
C.Consuming too much sugar.
D.The children’s hospital.

We often hear about the importance of cultural heritage.But what is cultural heritage
Cultural heritage doesn’t consist of money or property(财产),but of cultures,values and traditions.Cultural heritage means a shared connection,our belonging to a community.It represents our history and our identity;our connection with the past,our present,and the future.
Cultural heritage is also the result of a selection process:a process of remembering and forgetting that characterizes every human society constantly engaged in choosing—for both cultural and political reasons—what is worthy of being protected for future generations and what is not.
All peoples make their contribution to the culture of the world.That’s why it’s important to respect and safeguard all cultural heritage,through national laws and international agreements.Illegal trade of cultural objects,plundering other countries’ cultural heritage in war,and destruction of historical buildings and monuments cause irreparable damage to the cultural heritage of a country.UNESCO,founded in 1954,has adopted international agreements on the protection of cultural heritage,to promote intercultural understanding while stressing the importance of international cooperation.
The protection of cultural property is an old problem.One of the most common issues in protecting cultural heritage is the difficult relationship between the interests of the individual and the community.
Ancient Romans established that a work of art could be considered part of the heritage of the whole community,even if privately owned.For example,sculptures decorating the face of a private building were recognised as having a common value and couldn’t be removed,since they stood in a public site,where they could be seen by all citizens.
Cultural heritage passed down to us from our parents must be protected for the benefit of all.In an era of globalisation,cultural heritage helps us remember our culture,and its understanding develops respect for each other and increases dialogues between different cultures.
32.How does the author explain “cultural heritage”
A.By offering examples.
B.By quoting experts.
C.By giving a definition.
D.By making comparisons.
33.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“plundering”meaninparagraph4
A.Stealing. B.Buying.
C.Copying. D.Admiring.
34.Whatisthefrequentproblemintheprotectionofculturalheritage
A.Theprotectionmethodisnotscientific.
B.Thebalancebetweenprivateandpublicrights.
C.Whoshouldberesponsiblefortheprotection.
D.Differentstandardsforidentifyingculturalheritage.
35.Whatcanbethebesttitleforthetext
A.CulturalHeritageandItsProtection
B.UNESCOandCulturalHeritage
C.CulturalHeritageandPersonalProperty
D.CulturalHeritageProtectionandItsDifficulty

Sites of cultural heritage(遗产) often carry a large degree of value.Famous World Heritage Sites like the Pyramids of Giza or the Forbidden City in Beijing are truly impressive. 36 And they also show what the human mind and human culture are capable(有能力的) of.
However,cultural relics(遗迹) are more than just valuable in art—they tell a story of human history.Everything that makes up our society (our values,our language,our traditions,our way of life,etc.) comes from our ancestors. 37 This is extremely valuable because it provides us with a way to understand different cultures around the world and how they join each other.It offers chances for us to learn from the past and develop a better future.
38 Some relics were stolen from museums in Bagdad and the Iraq War caused great damage(破坏) to parts of the ancient city of Babylon.These acts are hugely harmful to the international society. 39
So it is important to set an international rule to be followed during a war in order to greatly reduce the harms to cultural relics. 40 In order to better protect cultural relics,the law must be used in all situations even though in certain cases,a war can be won more easily by attacking common people.
A.They are worth protecting.
B.They are beautiful pieces of art.
C.Recently there have been many terrible acts.
D.Cultural heritage is important for many reasons.
E.Cultural relics are the only means we have of connecting with our past.
F.The harms do not only influence our present-day society,but all of our future.
G.This is the case,for example,with the laws about attacking common people in a war.

A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.
One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child.The fire spread quickly,and the situation was terrible.
Neighbours called the fire department,and then stood helplessly.They were unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances.The little girl appeared at an upstairs window,crying for help,just as words spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.
Suddenly,a man appeared with a ladder,put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside.When he reappeared,he had the little girl in his arms.He delivered the child to the waiting arms below,and then disappeared into the night.
An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives,and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.
A teacher said she would like to raise the child.She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education.A farmer offered her an upbringing on his farm.He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying.Others also spoke,giving their reasons why it was to the child’s advantage to live with them.
Finally,the town’s richest resident rose and said,“I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here,plus money and everything that money can buy.”
Throughout all this,the child remained silent,with her eyes fixed on the floor.
“Does anyone else want to speak ”asked the meeting chairman.A man came forward from the back of the hall.He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.

M:Good morning,everybody.I’m going to share with you my writing experiences.I watch people a lot.I do that when I travel.I’ve been to many countries such as Britain,Italy and Sweden.So I spend a lot of time at airports.While waiting for my flights,I watch people passing by and start my imagination.For example,the other day,when I was waiting for my flight to Greece,I saw a couple.They were buying magazines at that moment.They were not wearing business clothes,but the man was carrying a suitcase.Every few seconds the woman looked around.I wondered if someone was following them.Perhaps they were running away and you know this reminded me of a story in the newspaper that day:a bank clerk stole one million pounds a week before and disappeared with his wife.There was a picture of them in the paper.The couple really looked like the thieves.Maybe I should stop them.Just then,I saw them say goodbye to each other,and the woman walked away.Well,sometimes I make mistakes like that.But I find things like that are very useful for my writing.

Examples of effective conservation of places matter to the world.They range from the 1960s Nubian campaign to safeguard Ancient Egyptian monuments from the waters of the Aswan Dam to the removal in 2018 of the Belize Barrier Reef from the List of World Heritage in Danger.Conservation is the core purpose of the World Heritage Convention and it may also be its biggest challenge.
The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable(可持续性) development.A year after Vienna was included on the World Heritage List in 2001,the World Heritage Committee(WHC) expressed concerns about the architectural solutions and height of four planned towers of the Wien-Mitte project.This development project,close to the Historic Centre of Vienna in the site’s buffer zone,the one that lies between two or more other areas,affected the urban scale(规模) and visual effects in and around the property(地产).As a result of the Committee’s concerns,Vienna changed its building codes and launched a new design competition for the Wien-Mitte project to work out architectural plans with reduced size in keeping with world heritage protection.
The successful practice inspired the government of the city to invite over 600 experts and professionals from 55 countries to an international conference on world heritage and contemporary architecture,held in Vienna in May 2005.The global discussion that followed,detailing an approach to managing conservation and development,was recorded in the UNESCO Recommendation in 2011.
The Recommendation put forwards an all-rounded and combined approach to balancing urban heritage conservation and economic development,arguing that active protection and management of urban heritage supports the goal of sustainable development.
The Recommendation supports the harmonious combination of contemporary involvement into the historic urban framework while holding on to values linked to history,memory and the environment.

“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twenty-five,”a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted.“Your blood sugars are much too high.”It consumed me.No matter where I was or what I was doing,it was overhead like a dark cloud,waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.
I liked painting.Losing myself in painting filled me with peace.Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.
When I was twenty-one,my right eye went blind.Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday,I had a massive hemorrhage(大出血) in my left eye because of an accident.For the next twenty years,vision came and went.I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision.But after one final operation,I lost the battle and all remaining vision.And I buried all dreams of painting.
Desperate,I enrolled in(注册) a sixteen-week programme for the blind and visually impaired(损伤的).I learnt personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software.A whole new world opened up to me through this programme.
“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,”my instructor told me.“You can use the Internet,e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.”It’s amazing!Hope went up for the first time in years.“By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse,you can use Microsoft Access,Excel and Powerpoint,”my instructor added.
For the next several years,I learnt that when one door closes,another door opens.There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology.Not only do I have a speaking computer,but I have a speaking watch,alarm clock and calculator.

We often hear about the importance of cultural heritage.But what is cultural heritage
Cultural heritage doesn’t consist of money or property(财产),but of cultures,values and traditions.Cultural heritage means a shared connection,our belonging to a community.It represents our history and our identity;our connection with the past,our present,and the future.
Cultural heritage is also the result of a selection process:a process of remembering and forgetting that characterizes every human society constantly engaged in choosing—for both cultural and political reasons—what is worthy of being protected for future generations and what is not.
All peoples make their contribution to the culture of the world.That’s why it’s important to respect and safeguard all cultural heritage,through national laws and international agreements.Illegal trade of cultural objects,plundering other countries’ cultural heritage in war,and destruction of historical buildings and monuments cause irreparable damage to the cultural heritage of a country.UNESCO,founded in 1954,has adopted international agreements on the protection of cultural heritage,to promote intercultural understanding while stressing the importance of international cooperation.
The protection of cultural property is an old problem.One of the most common issues in protecting cultural heritage is the difficult relationship between the interests of the individual and the community.
Ancient Romans established that a work of art could be considered part of the heritage of the whole community,even if privately owned.For example,sculptures decorating the face of a private building were recognised as having a common value and couldn’t be removed,since they stood in a public site,where they could be seen by all citizens.
Cultural heritage passed down to us from our parents must be protected for the benefit of all.In an era of globalisation,cultural heritage helps us remember our culture,and its understanding develops respect for each other and increases dialogues between different cultures.
32.How does the author explain “cultural heritage”
A.By offering examples.
B.By quoting experts.
C.By giving a definition.
D.By making comparisons.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第二段“Culturalheritagedoesn’tconsistofmoneyorproperty,butofcultures,valuesandtraditions.Culturalheritagemeansasharedconnection,ourbelongingtoacommunity.Itrepresentsourhistoryandouridentity;ourconnectionwiththepast,ourpresent,andthefuture.”可知,本文是通过下定义的方式解释文化遗产的。故选C项。
33.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“plundering”meaninparagraph4
A.Stealing. B.Buying.
C.Copying. D.Admiring.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。由前文中的“Illegaltrade(非法买卖)”和后文中的“destruction(破坏)”以及该词后面的“inwar(在战争中)”可猜测,此处应指在战争中会如何对待他国的文化遗产,用于非法买卖。结合常识,战争中多为偷窃他国物品进行非法交易。steal“偷窃”;buy“购买”;copy“复制”;admire“观赏”。故选A项。
34.Whatisthefrequentproblemintheprotectionofculturalheritage
A.Theprotectionmethodisnotscientific.
B.Thebalancebetweenprivateandpublicrights.
C.Whoshouldberesponsiblefortheprotection.
D.Differentstandardsforidentifyingculturalheritage.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第五段“Oneofthemostcommonissuesinprotectingculturalheritageisthedifficultrelationshipbetweentheinterestsoftheindividualandthecommunity.”可知,个人利益和社会利益之间的艰难关系是文化遗产保护中频繁出现的问题,也就是个人利益和社会利益之间的平衡问题。故选B项。

D.CulturalHeritageProtectionandItsDifficulty
答案A
解析主旨大意题。本文前半部分简述了什么是文化遗产,后半部分介绍了文化遗产保护的相关问题。故文章主要讲解的内容为“文化遗产及其保护”。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sites of cultural heritage(遗产) often carry a large degree of value.Famous World Heritage Sites like the Pyramids of Giza or the Forbidden City in Beijing are truly impressive. 36 And they also show what the human mind and human culture are capable(有能力的) of.
However,cultural relics(遗迹) are more than just valuable in art—they tell a story of human history.Everything that makes up our society (our values,our language,our traditions,our way of life,etc.) comes from our ancestors. 37 This is extremely valuable because it provides us with a way to understand different cultures around the world and how they join each other.It offers chances for us to learn from the past and develop a better future.
38 Some relics were stolen from museums in Bagdad and the Iraq War caused great damage(破坏) to parts of the ancient city of Babylon.These acts are hugely harmful to the international society. 39
So it is important to set an international rule to be followed during a war in order to greatly reduce the harms to cultural relics. 40 In order to better protect cultural relics,the law must be used in all situations even though in certain cases,a war can be won more easily by attacking common people.
A.They are worth protecting.
B.They are beautiful pieces of art.
C.Recently there have been many terrible acts.
D.Cultural heritage is important for many reasons.
E.Cultural relics are the only means we have of connecting with our past.
F.The harms do not only influence our present-day society,but all of our future.
G.This is the case,for example,with the laws about attacking common people in a war.

Dear Editor,
I’m delighted to write an article to tell about the importance of protecting cultural relics.As is well known to all,protecting cultural relics is of great importance,because cultural relics are non-renewable wealth.Therefore,it’s our responsibility to protect them.What’s more,the meaning of protecting cultural relics is related to our future.It is vital for the young generation to understand the meaning of cultural relics so that we can protect cultural relics better.Thus,we can leave more valuable property to our children.There is no denying that everyone has responsibility for protecting the intangible cultural heritage.However,we must have an appreciative attitude towards cultural relics.Only by learning to enjoy cultural relics can we make full use of all we have to protect them.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。续写词数应为150左右。
A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom.
One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child.The fire spread quickly,and the situation was terrible.
Neighbours called the fire department,and then stood helplessly.They were unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances.The little girl appeared at an upstairs window,crying for help,just as words spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.
Suddenly,a man appeared with a ladder,put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside.When he reappeared,he had the little girl in his arms.He delivered the child to the waiting arms below,and then disappeared into the night.
An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives,and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up.
A teacher said she would like to raise the child.She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education.A farmer offered her an upbringing on his farm.He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying.Others also spoke,giving their reasons why it was to the child’s advantage to live with them.
Finally,the town’s richest resident rose and said,“I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here,plus money and everything that money can buy.”
Throughout all this,the child remained silent,with her eyes fixed on the floor.
“Does anyone else want to speak ”asked the meeting chairman.A man came forward from the back of the hall.He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain.

Almost everyone has heard about the Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) in India.It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.Over three hundred years ago,Shah Jehan built the Taj Mahal as the tomb for his wife.Shah Jehan wanted his wife’s tomb perfect.He did not care about time or money.He brought together workmen from all Asia.Altogether,over 20,000 men worked on the building,and it took them twenty-two years to finish it.
The building rests on a platform(平台) of red sandstone.Four thin white towers rise from the corners of the platform.A large dome(圆屋顶) rests from the centre of the building.Around this large dome there are four smaller ones.
The building is made of fine white and coloured marble(大理石).It has eight sides and many arches.There is an open corridor(走廊) just inside the outer walls.From this corridor,the visitor looks through the marble screen to a central room.The bodies of Shah Jehan and his wife lie in a tomb below this room.
A beautiful garden surrounds the Taj Mahal.The green trees make the marble look even whiter.In front of the main entrance to the building there is a long,narrow pool.If you look in this pool,you can see all the beauty of the Taj Mahal in the reflection(倒影) from the water.

Philadelphia,Pennsylvania is America’s fifth-largest city.Once a major American colonial(殖民的) city,it is the home of America’s first library,its first hospital,and its first zoo.Now it is also the first U.S.city to be named a World Heritage City.On November 6,2015,Philadelphia joined more than 260 other cities that have been recognised for their impact(影响) on the world.These cities include Paris,France;Florence,Italy;and Cairo,Egypt.
“Today marks the start of a new and exciting chapter in the history of Philadelphia,”remarked Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter with excitement and passion when the announcement was made.“As a World Heritage City,Philadelphia is being officially recognised on the global stage for its wealth of contributions to the world.”
To be named a World Heritage City,a city must be home to a UNESCO World Heritage site.UNESCO World Heritage sites are selected for their universal value and significance.For Philadelphia,that site is Independence Hall.Independence Hall is where two of the most important documents in the U.S.history—the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution—were adopted.The Declaration of Independence,approved on July 4,1776,united the 13 former British colonies and declared them independent from British rule.The U.S.Constitution,signed in 1787,established the American democratic (民主政体的) system of government.A democracy is a system of government in which the people elect their leaders.The Constitution later spelled out the basic freedoms American citizens have.
Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger says the city’s selection as a World Heritage City also reflects its educational,cultural,and economic achievements.The city is home to dozens of colleges and universities,and many museums,such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art.“Philadelphia has rightfully earned its place as one of the greatest cities in the world,”Greenberger says.
28.It can be learned from paragraph 1 that Philadelphia .
A.was greatly affected by other World Heritage cities
B.was once the biggest colonial city in America
C.is famous as a World Heritage City
D.is known for many famous firsts

What killed King Tut Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’s most famous king was probably murdered.But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery.A team of researchers now say that King Tut,the boy ruler,died of complications(并发症) from a broken leg.
Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun.He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt.His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago.It was filled with royal riches,including a solid-gold coffin,a gold mask,and piles of jewelry.
Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19.Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers,named Ay,who wanted to be king.But thanks to a major modern science project,it seems Ay is innocent.
Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science,including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy(木乃伊).Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study.He thinks a broken leg contributed to the young king’s death.
More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb.This supports the team’s findings.But how could a person die from a simple broken leg
Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that indicates he had malaria(疟疾),a disease carried by mosquitoes.Malaria severely weakens the immune system.
Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture(骨折) to become deadly.Finally,the young king was just too weak to recover.So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone—not a jealous adviser—are likely the real causes of King Tut’s death.
32.It has long been believed by historians and scientists that .
A.King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world history
B.King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of Egypt
C.King Tut was murdered by one of his advisers
D.King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants
33.From the passage we can learn that .
A.the king had been dead for 3,300 years
B.the king was buried grandly
C.the king was born with a bad immune system
D.the king’s body was well kept in the tomb
34.Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by .
A.testing the king’s immune system
B.studying the walking sticks found in the tomb
C.performing experiments on mosquitoes
D.applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology
35.The passage mainly tells us about .
A.a different answer to King Tut’s death
B.a famous boy king in ancient Egypt
C.a treasure-filled tomb discovered in Egypt
D.a team of researchers studying ancient tombs

For nearly 50 years,Zhao Yuming has been absorbed in his own world of clay figurines(泥塑).At age 62,Zhao is the only remaining clay sculpture master craftsman in Laoting County,Hebei Province.He has been officially recognised as a master of intangible cultural heritage. 36 This is more of a responsibility and a source of pressure.
37 In ancient times,Laoting clay figurines were mainly children’s toys made by countryside artists.After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949,there were several workshops in villages in Laoting County and the production reached a high level,but the prices were too low. 38 However,for a long period,many clay artists relied on making and selling clay figurines at those poor prices to make ends meet.
Nowadays,shopping malls are full of high-end toys,so the Laoting clay figurines have gradually fallen out of favor. 39 Zhao said that although his children have other jobs to feed their families,he still wants to pass on his skills to them and his grandchildren.“If we do not pass it on,we will do a disservice to our country.Passing on the skills,honouring ourselves and repaying the country is the best option.”
Facing a demand for economic development,many regions are increasingly attaching importance to the protection of valuable traditional cultural skills.People come to realise that developing our cultural relics promotes the development of local economies. 40
A.But for him,this is not only an honour.
B.Later,it became known as “literary clay figurines”.
C.Clay figurines were sold for just a few pennies each.
D.Laoting clay sculpture has a nearly 500-year history.
E.Laoting clay sculpture is an important part of Zhao’s life.
F.However,some craftsmen have chosen to continue the tradition.
G.More importantly,it contributes to the goal of building “a beautiful China”.

TheMake-upGuy
Dave was a make-up(化妆) artist who regularly held makeup artistry classes at the local community college.He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually,the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives,who wanted to fine-tune their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive.But this time,it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry.He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible.He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably,the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.
Speculations(猜测)quickly started to spread.Why did he learn make-up Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner How about my neighbour’s youngest daughter Why on earth would he attend such a woman class Who could it be
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area,which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man’s intentions.
Throughout the lessons,ignoring the curious women around him,the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned,leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end,the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer,for they knew it was time to remove their doubts,otherwise...
Finally,one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity,so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make-up artistry.
What followed was a dead silence.After what seemed a century,he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.

The building rests on a platform(平台) of red sandstone.Four thin white towers rise from the corners of the platform.A large dome(圆屋顶) rests from the centre of the building.Around this large dome there are four smaller ones.
The building is made of fine white and coloured marble(大理石).It has eight sides and many arches.There is an open corridor(走廊) just inside the outer walls.From this corridor,the visitor looks through the marble screen to a central room.The bodies of Shah Jehan and his wife lie in a tomb below this room.
A beautiful garden surrounds the Taj Mahal.The green trees make the marble look even whiter.In front of the main entrance to the building there is a long,narrow pool.If you look in this pool,you can see all the beauty of the Taj Mahal in the reflection(倒影) from the water.

Philadelphia,Pennsylvania is America’s fifth-largest city.Once a major American colonial(殖民的) city,it is the home of America’s first library,its first hospital,and its first zoo.Now it is also the first U.S.city to be named a World Heritage City.On November 6,2015,Philadelphia joined more than 260 other cities that have been recognised for their impact(影响) on the world.These cities include Paris,France;Florence,Italy;and Cairo,Egypt.
“Today marks the start of a new and exciting chapter in the history of Philadelphia,”remarked Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter with excitement and passion when the announcement was made.“As a World Heritage City,Philadelphia is being officially recognised on the global stage for its wealth of contributions to the world.”
To be named a World Heritage City,a city must be home to a UNESCO World Heritage site.UNESCO World Heritage sites are selected for their universal value and significance.For Philadelphia,that site is Independence Hall.Independence Hall is where two of the most important documents in the U.S.history—the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution—were adopted.The Declaration of Independence,approved on July 4,1776,united the 13 former British colonies and declared them independent from British rule.The U.S.Constitution,signed in 1787,established the American democratic (民主政体的) system of government.A democracy is a system of government in which the people elect their leaders.The Constitution later spelled out the basic freedoms American citizens have.
Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger says the city’s selection as a World Heritage City also reflects its educational,cultural,and economic achievements.The city is home to dozens of colleges and universities,and many museums,such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art.“Philadelphia has rightfully earned its place as one of the greatest cities in the world,”Greenberger says.

What killed King Tut Historians and scientists have long believed that ancient Egypt’s most famous king was probably murdered.But a recent scientific study claims to have found a different answer to this more than 3,300-year-old mystery.A team of researchers now say that King Tut,the boy ruler,died of complications(并发症) from a broken leg.
Tut’s full name was Tutankhamun.He was just 9 years old when he became the ruler of Egypt.His treasure-filled tomb was discovered almost a century ago.It was filled with royal riches,including a solid-gold coffin,a gold mask,and piles of jewelry.
Unfortunately Tut died at the age of 19.Many experts have thought that Tut was killed by one of his advisers,named Ay,who wanted to be king.But thanks to a major modern science project,it seems Ay is innocent.
Researchers set out to solve the mystery of King Tut’s death by using the tools of science,including DNA tests and electronic scans of his mummy(木乃伊).Scientist Carsten Pusch conducted the tests on Tut for the new study.He thinks a broken leg contributed to the young king’s death.
More than 100 walking sticks were found in King Tut’s tomb.This supports the team’s findings.But how could a person die from a simple broken leg
Pusch also found DNA evidence in Tut’s body that indicates he had malaria(疟疾),a disease carried by mosquitoes.Malaria severely weakens the immune system.
Pusch and his fellow researchers believe the malaria and the bone disease together caused the king’s fracture(骨折) to become deadly.Finally,the young king was just too weak to recover.So effects of the disease combined with the bad luck of a broken bone—not a jealous adviser—are likely the real causes of King Tut’s death.
32.It has long been believed by historians and scientists that .
A.King Tut was the youngest ruler in the world history
B.King Tut was the richest ruler in the history of Egypt
C.King Tut was murdered by one of his advisers
D.King Tut was poisoned by one of his servants
答案C
解析根据第一、三段可知,长期以来,历史学家和科学家们认为古埃及法老图特卡蒙是被他的一位谋士谋害的。
33.From the passage we can learn that .
A.the king had been dead for 3,300 years
B.the king was buried grandly
C.the king was born with a bad immune system
D.the king’s body was well kept in the tomb
答案B
解析根据第二段可知,图特卡蒙的墓穴里摆满了皇室财宝,如金棺、金面具和成堆的珠宝首饰。由此可以得知,图特卡蒙被安葬得十分隆重。
34.Researchers uncovered the mystery of King Tut’s death by .
A.testing the king’s immune system
B.studying the walking sticks found in the tomb
C.performing experiments on mosquitoes
D.applying DNA tests and electronic scan technology
答案D
解析根据第四段可知,研究人员运用了DNA检测及电子扫描技术对法老的木乃伊进行了研究,从而获得了新发现。
35.The passage mainly tells us about .
A.a different answer to King Tut’s death
B.a famous boy king in ancient Egypt
C.a treasure-filled tomb discovered in Egypt
D.a team of researchers studying ancient tombs
答案A
解析通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了一项新的研究为古埃及法老图特卡蒙的死因提供了一种不同的解释。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For nearly 50 years,Zhao Yuming has been absorbed in his own world of clay figurines(泥塑).At age 62,Zhao is the only remaining clay sculpture master craftsman in Laoting County,Hebei Province.He has been officially recognised as a master of intangible cultural heritage. 36 This is more of a responsibility and a source of pressure.
37 In ancient times,Laoting clay figurines were mainly children’s toys made by countryside artists.After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949,there were several workshops in villages in Laoting County and the production reached a high level,but the prices were too low. 38 However,for a long period,many clay artists relied on making and selling clay figurines at those poor prices to make ends meet.
Nowadays,shopping malls are full of high-end toys,so the Laoting clay figurines have gradually fallen out of favor. 39 Zhao said that although his children have other jobs to feed their families,he still wants to pass on his skills to them and his grandchildren.“If we do not pass it on,we will do a disservice to our country.Passing on the skills,honouring ourselves and repaying the country is the best option.”
Facing a demand for economic development,many regions are increasingly attaching importance to the protection of valuable traditional cultural skills.People come to realise that developing our cultural relics promotes the development of local economies. 40
A.But for him,this is not only an honour.
B.Later,it became known as “literary clay figurines”.
C.Clay figurines were sold for just a few pennies each.
D.Laoting clay sculpture has a nearly 500-year history.
E.Laoting clay sculpture is an important part of Zhao’s life.
F.However,some craftsmen have chosen to continue the tradition.
G.More importantly,it contributes to the goal of building “a beautiful China”.

World Heritage Sites enjoy a long history with rich content.They are priceless cultural treasures for human beings.
However,World Heritage Sites are now facing many serious problems.Firstly,some sites are badly damaged or completely destroyed by natural disasters such as earthquakes,sandstorms,weathering and so on.Secondly,many directors choose the beautiful World Heritage Sites to shoot films and TV plays.Some visitors scratch on the old buildings,stones and trees,and many sites are seriously polluted.Besides,constant wars and a lot of construction also do great damage to some sites.
Obviously,many factors contribute to the damage of World Heritage Sites and it’s an urgent task for us to take steps to preserve them.

TheMake-upGuy
Dave was a make-up(化妆) artist who regularly held makeup artistry classes at the local community college.He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually,the majority of his students were middle-aged housewives,who wanted to fine-tune their make-up skills so as to make themselves more attractive.But this time,it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make-up artistry.He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible.He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably,the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.
Speculations(猜测)quickly started to spread.Why did he learn make-up Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner How about my neighbour’s youngest daughter Why on earth would he attend such a woman class Who could it be
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area,which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man’s intentions.
Throughout the lessons,ignoring the curious women around him,the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned,leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end,the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer,for they knew it was time to remove their doubts,otherwise...
Finally,one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity,so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make-up artistry.
What followed was a dead silence.After what seemed a century,he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.
