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 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.

Addy Barrett, an 11-year-old girl from Maryland, the US, is a regular visitor to the zoo, and never gets tired of watching gorillas (大猩猩). “I really fell in love with these smart animals after reading a book about them,” Addy said. “I also learned they were being killed for unnecessary reasons. And I knew I needed to do something.”
Addy is now working to save her favorite animals. She has sold T-shirts and home-made cookies to raise money, and she hosts a party about the gorilla yearly.
Addy asked Meredith Bastian, a zookeeper, about the challenges that wild gorillas are facing and that many people ignore. Bastian said it’s because of habitat loss, climate change and the spread of disease. But there is also the problem of mining. “Some mines in Congo, Africa destroy gorillas’ habitats and make their living conditions worse,” Bastian told Addy.
Addy decided to start the Gorilla Heroes project. She has held fundraisers (筹款活动) hoping to start a conversation on the risks to gorillas. The animals, which are native to Central Africa, are endangered. There are fewer than 900 mountain gorillas and about 100,000 western lowland gorillas in the world. So far, Gorilla Heroes has raised more than $11,000. Addy was recently named a winner of the 2019 Gloria Barton Prize for Young Heroes for her work.
Addy hopes to get close to a gorilla in the wild, but she can’t because she is too young. So for now Addy is sticking to raising money for gorillas.
4. What can we learn about Addy
A. She seldom goes to the zoo. B. She works hard to save gorillas.
C. She writes books about gorillas. D. She volunteers for a zoo project.
5. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The importance of wild gorillas.
B. The measures for protecting wild gorillas.
C. The pleasant environment for wild gorillas.
D. The reasons for wild gorillas becoming endangered.
6. How is Addy’s Gorilla Heroes project
A. It is quite dangerous. B. It includes many professions.
C. It is well recognized. D. It has made a difference worldwide.
7. Which of the following can best describe Addy
A. Proud and childlike. B. Able and generous.
C. Talkative and interesting. D. Easy-going and humorous.
C
Nelson Mandela, once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” Mandela understood our mother language is very personal thing to us.
After all, it’s the language we first hear and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced(微妙的) way through our mother language, expressing our emotions and moods more fluently. We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. When we die, we know people will mourn for us in our mother language.
For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, their language is their main link with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future. So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperiled.
Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did The answer has to do with globalization(全球化). With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. Some people aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages.
Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. The United Nations has set Feb 21st as International Mother Language Day to raise awareness of dying languages. This work is very important. As US writer Rita Mac Brown wrote, “Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.
8. The author uses Nelson Mandela’s words in order to ________.
A. show great respect for Mandela
B. stress the importance of mother language
C. show Mandela’s contribution to language
D. draw our attention to language learning
9. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The friendship. B. The mother language.
C. The emotion. D. The ancient tongue.
10. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph
A. The road map of a culture. B. Efforts to save the dying languages.
C. A planet with fewer languages. D. International Mother Language Day.
11. What might be the best title for the text
A. Our Languages Tell Us More
B. Why Languages are Disappearing
C The Rise and Fall of a Language
D. International Mother Language Day
D
Did you watch the popular TV series Meet Yourself during your winter vacation In the TV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan province and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. As the show finds a growing audience, volunteer travel—an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention.
Volunteer travel refers to taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity to help others. These volunteer trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or nonprofit organizations, and they take form of equal exchanges. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodation, meals and laundry, activities, or classes.
Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what Meet Yourself describes, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or regions the volunteers originate from in recent years. Sanlian Lifeweek magazine commented that volunteer projects in rural areas are now attracting more urban visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of urban living. Yang Yan, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend for urban residents to volunteer in rural areas.
People try volunteer travel for several reasons. By working voluntarily while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive impact on the world. The services volunteers provide can be through charities with lower costs for the communities they serve. Another benefit of volunteer travel is that it helps urban residents to experience rural life. For those who are sick of urban pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move permanently to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. In this way, as Yang comments, travelers can catch some relief from their busy lives, while rural communities also benefit by receiving more customers for local tourism industries and temporary high-quality labor.
12. Why does the author mention Meet Yourself in the beginning of the text
A. To introduce a new way of travel. B. To lead up to the topic of the text.
C. To show the popularity of this TV series. D. To raise readers’ interest in the TV series.
13 What can we learn about volunteer travel from the text
A. Its only purpose is to help others.
B. It requires travelers to be highly educated.
C. Its travelers can get something in return for their help.
D. It’s typically organized by those who want to make money.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A. A new trend of volunteer trips. B. The future of volunteer trips.
C. The significance of volunteer trips. D. Different views on volunteer trips.
15. Why are more urban residents attracted by volunteer projects in rural areas nowadays
A. To give back to society. B. To get away from busy lives.
C. To provide high-quality labor. D. To support the rural tourism industry.

Nelson Mandela, once said: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.” Mandela understood our mother language is very personal thing to us.
After all, it’s the language we first hear and the language we first learn to speak. We can communicate in a nuanced(微妙的) way through our mother language, expressing our emotions and moods more fluently. We make friends in our mother language. We fall in love in it. When we die, we know people will mourn for us in our mother language.
For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, their language is their main link with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future. So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are imperiled.
Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did The answer has to do with globalization(全球化). With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. Some people aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages.
Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. The United Nations has set Feb 21st as International Mother Language Day to raise awareness of dying languages. This work is very important. As US writer Rita Mac Brown wrote, “Language is the roadmap of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.
8. The author uses Nelson Mandela’s words in order to ________.
A. show great respect for Mandela
B. stress the importance of mother language

Did you watch the popular TV series Meet Yourself during your winter vacation In the TV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan province and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. As the show finds a growing audience, volunteer travel—an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention.
Volunteer travel refers to taking a trip where all or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity to help others. These volunteer trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or nonprofit organizations, and they take form of equal exchanges. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodation, meals and laundry, activities, or classes.
Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what Meet Yourself describes, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or regions the volunteers originate from in recent years. Sanlian Lifeweek magazine commented that volunteer projects in rural areas are now attracting more urban visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of urban living. Yang Yan, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend for urban residents to volunteer in rural areas.
People try volunteer travel for several reasons. By working voluntarily while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive impact on the world. The services volunteers provide can be through charities with lower costs for the communities they serve. Another benefit of volunteer travel is that it helps urban residents to experience rural life. For those who are sick of urban pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move permanently to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. In this way, as Yang comments, travelers can catch some relief from their busy lives, while rural communities also benefit by receiving more customers for local tourism industries and temporary high-quality labor.
12. Why does the author mention Meet Yourself in the beginning of the text
A. To introduce a new way of travel. B. To lead up to the topic of the text.
C. To show the popularity of this TV series. D. To raise readers’ interest in the TV series.
13. What can we learn about volunteer travel from the text
A. Its only purpose is to help others.
B. It requires travelers to be highly educated.
C. Its travelers can get something in return for their help.
D. It’s typically organized by those who want to make money.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A. A new trend of volunteer trips. B. The future of volunteer trips.
C. The significance of volunteer trips. D. Different views on volunteer trips.
15. Why are more urban residents attracted by volunteer projects in rural areas nowadays
A. To give back to society. B. To get away from busy lives.
C. To provide high-quality labor. D. To support the rural tourism industry.

47. 这一传统可以追溯到公元前300年。(date)(汉译英)
【答案】The tradition can date back to/from 300BC.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。描述现在的一般情况，句子应用一般现在时。主语“这一传统”译为The tradition，“可以”用情态动词can，后接动词原形，“追溯到”译为date back to或date from，“公元前300年”译为300BC。故翻译为：The tradition can date back to/from 300BC.
48. 如果你能帮我，我将不胜感激。（appreciate）（汉译英）
【答案】I would appreciate it very much if you could lend me a hand.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和短语。根据汉语提示可知，本句需用固定句型：I would appreciate it…if…，此句型表示“如果……我将不胜感激”，very much很，非常，作状语修饰动词appreciate，if条件句的主语是you，谓语动词could lend“能借给”；表示“帮我”应用短语lend me a hand，lend sb. sth.为固定搭配，意为“借给某人某物”。故翻译为：I would appreciate it very much if you could lend me a hand。
49. 汉字被视为中国瑰宝之一。(regard) (汉译英)
【答案】The Chinese character is regarded as one of the treasures in China.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。根据句意可知，本句描述现实状况，用一般现在时。表示“汉字”为the Chinese character，作主语，是单数；主谓一致，表示“被视为”为is regarded as，是固定句型；表示“中国瑰宝之一”为one of the treasures in China，作介词宾语。句首字母大写，故翻译为The Chinese character is regarded as one of the treasures in China.
50. 这项活动的目的是消除家长和青少年之间的隔阂。(gap)(汉译英)

注意：这项活动的目的其它正确表达也可给满分。
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、动词短语。表示“这项活动”含义的表达为：the activity；表示“目的是”含义的表达为：aim to do，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，因主语为单数第三人称，谓语动词使用单数第三人称形式；表示“消除隔阂”含义的表达为：bridge the gap；表示“家长和青少年之间”含义的表达为：between parents and teenagers，故本句翻译为：The activity aims to bridge the gap between parents and teenagers.
51. 无论情况多糟糕, 我们首先要保持冷静!(no matter…)(汉译英)
【答案】No matter how bad/terrible the situation is, we should keep/stay/remain calm.
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句和时态。根据提示“no matter…”可知，此处使用no matter引导的让步状语从句，表示限定形容词程度应用how，表示“糟糕”可用形容词bad或terrible，从句主语为situation，时态为一般现在时；主句主语为we，表示“要做某事”应用情态动词should do；表示“保持冷静”短语为keep calm、stay calm或remain calm。故翻译为No matter how bad/terrible the situation is, we should keep/stay/remain calm.

He was not very likely to admit he was wrong.
He was unlikely to admit he was wrong.
It was not very likely that he admitted he was wrong.
It was unlikely that he admitted he was wrong.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和短语。此处用he作主语，表示“不大可能”可用be unlikely to/hardly likely/ not very likely to do sth.或用句型it be not very likely/unlikely/hardly likely that…；表示“承认”应用admit；表示“自己错了”翻译为he be wrong，此处可用一般过去时 主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数。故翻译为He was hardly likely to admit he was wrong./It was hardly likely that he admitted he was wrong./He was not very likely to admit he was wrong. /He was unlikely to admit he was wrong. /It was not very likely that he admitted he was wrong. /It was unlikely that he admitted he was wrong.
54. 那时，人们不太关注健康。(定语从句)(汉译英)
【答案】It was a time when people weren`t so worried/concerned about health.

【详解】考查名词及定语从句。句子陈述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时；原句可理解为“那是一个人们不那么关心健康的时代。”“那是一个时代”处理为主句，译为It was a time；“人们不那么关心健康的”处理为when引导的定语从句，修饰先行词time，“人们不那么关心健康”译为people weren`t so worried/concerned about health。故整句翻译为It was a time when people weren`t so worried/concerned about health.
55. 我度过童年的城市在我生命中具有特殊的意义。(定语从句) (汉译英)
【答案】The city where/in which I spent my childhood has a special significance in my life.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。根据句意可知，本句主句描述现实状况，用一般现在时，表示“（那个）城市在我生命中具有特殊的意义”用“主谓宾+状”结构，为the city has a special significance in my life，名词city需要特指；表示“我度过童年的城市”用where或in which引导限制性定语从句，在从句中作地点状语，修饰先行词the city，根据句意，用一般过去时，表达为where/in which I spent my childhood。句首字母大写，故翻译为The city where/in which I spent my childhood has a special significance in my life.
56. 自助者天助。(定语从句)(汉译英)
