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.

When Rachel Ratelle saw a news video of a burned koala trying to climb a tree to safety in fire-ravaged (火灾肆虐的) Australia, she decided to do something about it.
She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches (袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.
This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem.
“I’d never sewn in my life,”said Ratelle, 17, a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US.“Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew.”
Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she bought 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to Fir Australian Wildlife Needing Aid (FAWNA), one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from bums. A week later, she received a photo from FAWNA with a baby kangaroo in one of her larger pouches.“It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way,”said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner.
“I plan to use my new sewing skills to help animals and people devastated by natural disaster,”she said.
Several craft union websites around the world have called for Australian relief by making the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison, 12 and Rochelle, 8, from San Diego also offered their help in such a way. For Newberry,“It was a big push that made us crafters, sewers realize there’s something more we can do than just make things for ourselves,”she said.
24.What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about
A.What inspired Ratelle to learn to sew.
B.What is needed to save koalas and other species.
C.The poor living conditions of wild animals in Australia.
D.Different ways to help koalas and other animals in Australia.
25.How did Ratelle feel when she received a photo from FAWNA
A.Surprised. B.Calm. C.Proud. D.Moved.
26.What does the underlined word“devastated”mean
A.Ruined B.Challenged C.Reduced D.Abandoned
27.What do Newberry’s words in the last paragraph suggest
A.People should stay united through difficult times.
B.Life is not easy for crafters and sewers in Australia.
C.It is challenging for crafters and sewers to do relief work.
D.Crafters and sewers can do more to help animals.
C
Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland, California, makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures. The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven. Many of them are sweet. For example, the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie. It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame (芝麻) seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside. Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.
The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau’s way of honoring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste. Lau’s restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies. Those sweets would not be found in any bakery in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods. Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store. She said:“We get a lot of comments, for example, ‘The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.’ ‘Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up.’”She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries (糕点).
Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing-up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years. Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new. The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.
“Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants（移民）miss from their home country. The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression,”said Robert Ku, who is an Asian American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York state. He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy: The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
“The bakers are showing that their foods, which mix cultures, are just as American as apple pie. It’s sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that’s often ignored,”Ku said.“They’re instead really trying to fuse things together.”
28.What does Lau think of her work
A.Tiring. B.Demanding. C.Confusing. D.Valuable.
29.What are the older traditional Asian bakeries trying to do
A.Create a new way of showing their identities.
B.Celebrate the Asian culture in foreign countries.
C.Remind the immigrants of their hometown flavor.
D.Introduce young Asian Americans to new culture.
30.What does the underlined word“fuse”in the last paragraph mean
A.Combine. B.Improve. C.Invent. D.Consume.
31.What is the best title for the text
A.Asian American Cookies Become American’s Favorite Food
B.Varieties of New Asian Foods Are Created by American Cooks
C.Asian American Bakeries Mix Together Cultures to Create New Foods
D.Traditional Asian Food Becomes Popular with American Young People

Learning a new language like English can be a challenge, but with regular study, it can be done. 36 Here are some guidelines to help you improve your English.
37
Learning any new language is a time-consuming process. Rather than try a few hours to review once or twice a week, most experts say short,regular study sessions are more effective. As little as 30 minutes a day can help you improve your English skills over time.
Read, watch and listen
Reading English newspapers and books, listening to music, or watching TV can also help you develop your writing and speaking skills.By doing so repeatedly, you’ll unconsciously improve your pronunciation, accents, and grammar. Keep the pen and paper handy and write down unfamiliar words you read or hear. 38 Use them the next time you are role-playing dialogues in class.
Play vocabulary and grammar games
You can also improve your English skills by playing vocabulary games that are related to what you’re studying in class. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last trip and what you did. 39
Write it down
40 Take 30 minutes at the end of class or study to write down what happened during your day. Once you’re comfortable writing about your day,challenge yourself and have some fun with creative writing exercises. Choose a photo from a book or magazine and describe it in a short paragraph, or write a short story or poem about someone you know well.You may even discover you’ve got a talent for writing.
A.Study every day.
B.It can even be fun.
C.Set a goal.
D.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
E.Then,do some research to learn what those new words mean.
F.Make a list of all the words you might use to describe your activities.
G.Repetition is key to learning English,and writing exercises are a great way to practice.

One pleasant New-year morning, Edward rose, washed and dressed himself in a hurry. He wanted to be first to wish a happy New Year to his family. He turned up at every door of the house, and shouted the words of“Happy New Year”in an excited voice. After a quick breakfast, he hopped along the street like a happy bird, greeted and repeated the words to those he met.
When he came back, his father gave him 50 dollars, saying he could buy whatever he had been wishing for. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some interesting books that he had seen at the bookstore. He thanked his father and danced out of the house again with a light heart, wanting to buy those books.
As he ran down the street, he noticed a poor German family, the father, mother, and three children trembling with cold.“I wish you a happy New Year,”said Edward, as he was happily passing on. The man took a look at the happy boy and shook his head sadly.
Edward stopped and said,“It seems that you do not belong to this country”The man again shook his head, a confused expression appeared over his face, for he could not understand or speak English.
But the poor man pointed to his mouth, and to the children with hungry looks, as if to say,“These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”
Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in difficult situation.

Good afternoon,everyone!
What is known to all is that all the animals play a part in keeping the balance of nature.Unfortunately, many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction.The reasons are various.On the one hand,the environment that they are living in has been greatly destroyed.On the other hand,they are being over hunted.
So we must take measures to protect them.We should raise our awareness of animal protection.Besides,let’s make every effort to protect animals’living environment.
I hope we can live in harmony with animals.Let’s take action.
That’s all.Thanks for your listening.
写作二：
【答案】Paragraph 1:
He took out his dollars, and gave them all to the man. How their eyes sparkled with gratitude! They said something in their language, which might mean, “You are doing me a great favor, and I am very grateful to you.” The man was so moved that he stood there, failing to say any words. At the same time, Edward saw a bright smile spread across the man’s face. He smiled back at the father, waved goodbye to the family and went home delightedly.
Paragraph 2:
When Edward went home, his father asked what book he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. Then he told the story to his father. “I have bought no books,” said he, “I can wait for my books till next New Year.” “My dear boy,” said his father, “here are a dozen of books. I give them to you, more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New Year gift.” It was on that very moment that Edward realized a small act of kindness may be powerful enough to make a huge difference.
