How does a place become a World Heritage Site (世界遗产保护区) It takes a lot of people to decide.
First, if a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask the UNESCO. The place must be important and special. The UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.
Second, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.
Third, after a new place goes on the list, the UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage in Danger. The UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.
Then, countries have to give the UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If the UNESCO thinks a country isn’t taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.
1.What can we infer from the passage
A.Becoming a World Heritage Site takes hard work.
B.A place with beautiful scenery is often on the World Heritage List.
C.A place which is taken good care of is often on the World Heritage List.
D.The Great Wall became a World Heritage Site for its long history.
2.If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country .
A.can ask the UNESCO for more money and help
B.should continue to take special care of it
C.won’t take trouble to care for it
D.will try to put it on the List of World Heritage in Danger
3.What’s the passage mainly discussing
A.How the UNESCO World Heritage Committee decides a World Heritage Site.
B.How the UNESCO World Heritage Committee protects a World Heritage Site.
C.How the Great Wall became a World Heritage Site.
D.How a place becomes a World Heritage Site.

Antiquities(文物) are ancient objects and artworks. Many people visit museums to view antiquities. They enjoy seeing these relics of the ancient world as a way of understanding past cultures and sometimes connecting with their own heritage.
Museums get works to show from many different sources. Sometimes they buy them. Other times they receive donations. Today there are strict guidelines forbidding art that has been stolen from other countries. However, antiquities that have been at museums for many years or even centuries may have arrived there by dishonest means. Now, some countries say that museums have a duty to return these antiquities to their original locations.
Should museums return the antiquities Experts disagree. Malcolm Bell says yes. Bell is a professor of art at the University of Virginia. He says, “Many antiquities and works of art have special cultural value for a particular community or nation. When these works are taken from their original cultural setting, they lose their context and the culture loses a part of its history.”
According to Bell, a country’s request for the return of an antiquity “usually has a strong legal basis.” “It was exported (出口) illegally, probably also dug out illegally, and is now stolen property (财物).” He called the return of antiquities “an expression of justice”.
James Cuno says not always. Cuno is the president of the J. Paul Getty Museum, an art museum in Los Angeles. Cuno agrees that museums have a legal duty to return illegally exported antiquities. However, he doesn’t support the return of works which were got legally. “Land held today by a given nation-state(单一民族独立国家) in the past likely belonged to a different country...even if one wants to return those stolen works of art, where will one do so Which among the many countries, cities, and museums that own parts of a work of art should be the home of the returned work ” Cuno believes that museums should collect art from the world’s various cultures. This should be done “through buying or long-term loan (长期借用) and working together with museums and nations around the world.”
This debate is far from over. As a complex question with no easy answer, the issue requires more study.
4.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A.Museums get antiquities through various means.
B.Antiquities from other countries are more valuable.
C.Antiquities are greatly appreciated by foreign visitors.
D.Museums around the world have lost many antiquities.

B.museums should return illegally-owned antiquities
C.antiquities from other countries may lose their cultural value
D.museums should collect antiquities from different cultures

One of Australia’s most famous natural gifts, the Great Barrier Reef, is blessed with the breathtaking beauty of the world’s largest coral reef. The reef contains a large variety of life, over 3,000 reef systems and hundreds of islands with some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Because of its natural beauty, the Great Barrier Reef has become one of the world’s most sought-after(受青睐的) tourist attractions.
However, for the past few years, the news about coral has been discouraging. Currently, the reef is threatened by climate change, tourism, water pollution, and overfishing. Agricultural fertilizer(肥料) run-off from Australian farms also has caused the widespread growth of sea-plants, which absorb most of the nutrients(养分) and leave little remaining for the living coral reefs and the animals that live in them. “What has changed is the increasing importance of climate change as a greater threat than the others,” says David Wachenfeld, a scientist of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. Coral reefs are extremely sensitive(敏感的) to the rising ocean temperatures.
In a report on April 28, the Australian government said it set aside $500 million to help preserve coral. The money will be spent on reducing water pollution from agriculture, fighting coral-killing starfish(海星), reef monitoring, and research on climate influence.
Though the Australian investment is welcome, it will at best only delay the coral’s death. It’s too little, and too late, as a leading coral-scientist Terry Hughes of James Cook University put. The only way to save coral in the long term is to slow down climate change. That process will require all countries to work together to find the most effective way of cutting the emission(排放) of greenhouse gases.
The most recent emission figures, however, show that the world is failing in that task. The year 2018 has seen an increase in global emissions. This week in Bonn, Germany, countries are meeting to discuss how to keep their word in the Paris climate agreement. Let’s hope they hear about the silent death of the world’s coral.
8.Why does the author write the text
A.To introduce the Great Barrier Reef.
B.To show the result of climate change.
C.To offer ways of protecting the Great Barrier Reef.
D.To tell us the serious situation of the Great Barrier Reef.
9.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Sea-plants help to protect the coral reefs.
B.Water temperature has little to do with the coral reefs.
C.Climate change is the main reason for coral reefs’ death.
D.Agricultural fertilizer provides nutrients for coral reefs.
10.According to Terry Hughes, the Australian investment in protecting the coral reefs is .
A.timely B.unsatisfying
C.effective D.useless
11.How can we protect the Great Barrier Reef effectively in the long run
A.By reducing the emission of greenhouse gases.
B.By cutting down the number of tourists.
C.By setting more strict rules on overfishing.
D.By investing more in climate research.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city In order to answer this question,we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasons—for example,economic(经济的)reasons—why they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundings too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏)the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.
12.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph
A.Some of them are not attractive.
B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
13.Which of the following is true according to the author
A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
14.By“move things forward”in the last paragraph, the author probably means“ .”
A.destroy old buildings
B.put things in a different place
C.choose new architectural styles
D.respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
15.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To explain why people dislike change.
B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, I had one of life-changing experiences. It happened only two feet away from me.
In order to find my friend among the passengers, I noticed a man walking toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.
First he smiled at his younger son, about six years old, as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long hug(拥抱). I heard the father said, “It’s so good to see you. I missed you so much!” His son smiled shyly and replied happily, “Me too, Dad!”
Then the man stood up, cupping (捧着) his eldest son’s face in his hands and said, “You are already quite a young man. I love you very much, Zach!” Then the father gave the son a warm hug.
At the same time, the man’s baby girl was squirming(来回扭动) excitedly in her mother’s arms. The man said, “Hi, baby girl!” as he gently took the baby from her mother. He kissed her face. The little girl felt satisfied in her father’s arms.
After that, he handed the baby to his eldest son and gave his wife the longest and warmest hug. He gently said, “I love you so much!” They looked at each others’ eyes with big smiles on their faces.
At that moment, they reminded me of newly-married couples, though it couldn’t be possible by the age of their sons. Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married ”“Almost 10 years in total,” the father replied.
Paragraph 1:
When asked how long he had been away from his family, he said it was only two days.

One possible version:
Recently, citizens in our city have had a heated debate on whether we should exploit the cultural relic, which was discovered in our city. Different people have different opinions.
Some people think it is worthwhile to exploit the cultural relic, which will not only make people learn more about the great history of our country but also improve our tourism.
However, others hold an opposite opinion, thinking that we should keep it as it was and preserve it properly. Only in this way can it not be destroyed by people.
As far as I am concerned, we should ask the experts for proposals to find a better way to make good use of this cultural relic.

Paragraph 1:
When asked how long he had been away from his family, he said it was only two days. I was surprised to know he had been away for only two days. I had thought he’d been away for at least several weeks—if not months. I asked the man how I could have a happy family and a good relationship with my friends. The man answered, “It’s love, understanding and responsibility. You can be the owner of yourself.”
Paragraph 2:
“I hope my marriage is similar to yours!” I talked to him. The man smiled and looked me straight in the eye. “Don’t hope, friend...decide!” Then he showed his wonderful smile again and said, “God bless!” I was watching the family walk out of sight when my friend came to me and asked, “What are you looking at ” Without a second thought, I replied, “My future!”

While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, I had one of life-changing experiences. It happened only two feet away from me.
In order to find my friend among the passengers, I noticed a man walking toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.
First he smiled at his younger son, about six years old, as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long hug(拥抱). I heard the father said, “It’s so good to see you. I missed you so much!” His son smiled shyly and replied happily, “Me too, Dad!”
Then the man stood up, cupping (捧着) his eldest son’s face in his hands and said, “You are already quite a young man. I love you very much, Zach!” Then the father gave the son a warm hug.
At the same time, the man’s baby girl was squirming(来回扭动) excitedly in her mother’s arms. The man said, “Hi, baby girl!” as he gently took the baby from her mother. He kissed her face. The little girl felt satisfied in her father’s arms.
After that, he handed the baby to his eldest son and gave his wife the longest and warmest hug. He gently said, “I love you so much!” They looked at each others’ eyes with big smiles on their faces.
At that moment, they reminded me of newly-married couples, though it couldn’t be possible by the age of their sons. Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married ”“Almost 10 years in total,” the father replied.
Paragraph 1:
When asked how long he had been away from his family, he said it was only two days.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:
“I hope my marriage is similar to yours!” I talked to him. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

One possible version:
Recently, citizens in our city have had a heated debate on whether we should exploit the cultural relic, which was discovered in our city. Different people have different opinions.
Some people think it is worthwhile to exploit the cultural relic, which will not only make people learn more about the great history of our country but also improve our tourism.
However, others hold an opposite opinion, thinking that we should keep it as it was and preserve it properly. Only in this way can it not be destroyed by people.
As far as I am concerned, we should ask the experts for proposals to find a better way to make good use of this cultural relic.

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
When asked how long he had been away from his family, he said it was only two days. I was surprised to know he had been away for only two days. I had thought he’d been away for at least several weeks—if not months. I asked the man how I could have a happy family and a good relationship with my friends. The man answered, “It’s love, understanding and responsibility. You can be the owner of yourself.”
Paragraph 2:
“I hope my marriage is similar to yours!” I talked to him. The man smiled and looked me straight in the eye. “Don’t hope, friend...decide!” Then he showed his wonderful smile again and said, “God bless!” I was watching the family walk out of sight when my friend came to me and asked, “What are you looking at ” Without a second thought, I replied, “My future!”
