As we all know， it is often a big challenge to keep balance between economic progress and the protection of heritage sites. In the 1950s， the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam to solve some issues， such as controlling floods and producing electricity. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. After listening to the opinions of scientists and nearby citizens， the government turned to the United Nations for help.
A committee， which was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent them from disappearing， asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the global community. To avoid the loss of those cultural relics， they investigated the issue carefully and conducted several tests. Finally， they decided to take them apart and rebuild them in a safe place. The attempt finally succeeded. This example not only shows the importance of working together but also tells it is worthwhile to preserve cultural relics.

一、阅读理解
A
[中华文化/2023贵州适应性测试]Dunhuang， an oasis of culture surrounded by the vast sands of the Gobi Desert， served as a shelter for ancient weary Silk Road travelers 1，000 years ago. Carved into the cliffs high above the Dachuan River， the Mogao Grottoes in Gansu Province consist of the largest， richest and longest used treasure houses of traditional art in the world， inspiring young artists to this very day.
Inside the grottoes， murals（壁画） painted with minerals have stood the test of time， still shining brightly and brilliantly. To carry forward this painting technique， Lian Yang， an artist in her 30s， decided to make the traditional art increasingly known among younger generations. She once worked only on ink and digital painting， but soon felt creatively stuck. Then she learned about mineral color painting and made it the focus of her career.
The traditional Chinese painting technique was commonly used before the Tang Dynasty. However， the skill gradually faded from the central Chinese artistic landscape after the Song Dynasty when literati（文人学士） ink painting boomed（迅速发展）.
"I want to pour more of my own ideas into creations and find an artistic expression that cannot be easily replaced with modern technologies， although the costs of handmade art are higher and it requires more time than digital creation，" Lian Yang said.
As a modern artist， Lian Yang does not limit herself by strictly following tradition. She has cooperated with the operator of mobile game King of Glory， creating works in Dunhuang fresco style. She also frequently posts short videos covering the creative process of mineral color artworks across different Chinese social media， attracting many young people.
Lian Yang hopes mineral art can be integrated into movies， online games and even the metaverse， an integrated network of 3D virtual worlds.
莲羊为了让传统艺术越来越多地为年轻一代所知，坚持不懈地发扬岩彩这种传统绘画形式。

[中华文化/2024安徽六校入学素质测试]What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw？ Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However， Wu Cui， an intangible cultural inheritor， can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.
The earliest straw-woven（草编的） products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins， a Neolithic cultural site located in Zhejiang Province. The Book of Rites， one of the classical works of Confucianism， also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty.
Straw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving： Selection of materials is the first step of a complicated， time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks or even months to complete. You need to sketch the piece on paper， which requires drawing skills. Next comes the weaving， shaping and preserving of the work. Even by following that process， it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work， and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.
In the past， straw-woven items could be found almost in every household in the countryside， such as straw hats and straw shoes， because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization， manufactured goods have replaced such products， which yield low profits， and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. "The world has changed， and craftsmen need to transcend practicality（实用性） and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive，" Wu says.
From her perspective， straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences， while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. "Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products，" she says. When asked about her plans， Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.
随着工业化的发展，用麦秸秆做的草编产品渐渐淡出人们的生活。2008年草编工艺申遗成功。非遗传承人吴翠呼吁草编手艺人要不断创新。
【词语积累】 pop into one’s mind突然出现在脑海中 intangible adj.无形的 inheritor n.继承人 craftsman n.工匠，手艺人 manufacture vt.生产，制造 heritage n.遗产 complicated adj.复杂的，难懂的 individual n.个人 engage in参加，从事 perspective n.观点，态度
1. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-woven products？

B. Their cultural value.
C. Their historical origins.
D. Their manufacturing process.

2. Which is the toughest part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui？
A. Making the artworks vivid.
B. Drawing sketches on paper.
C. Selecting suitable materials.
D. Preserving finished products.

二、七选五
[2023山东济南期末检测]What is heritage？ The word can be difficult to define. Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years. 1 It can also be the customs， traditions， and values shared by groups of people. One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups. These are the tangible（有形的） cultural heritage， the natural heritage， and the intangible cultural heritage.
2 They can include many human-made objects that hold cultural value. Some examples are national monuments and works of art. Many ancient sites are also part of this group. On a smaller scale， a family home can be part of an individual’s heritage.
Many parts of the natural world are also important to heritage. They can include bodies of water， plant life， landforms and more. One example is the Nile River. 3 Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can’t feel through touch. Maybe you’ve read about forms of dance， like flamenco. You might know about the music of mariachi bands. These are all examples of intangible cultural heritage. 4
Exploring your own heritage can be fun. It can help you learn about yourself， your family， and your ancestors. But it’s also important to learn about the heritage of others. 5 It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others！
A. They are treasures that can be touched.
B. What tangible items can be part of heritage？
C. However， heritage isn’t limited to concrete objects.
D. Languages， holidays and customs also make the list.
E. Therefore， it’s difficult to protect them from fading away.
F. Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.
G. It has been part of heritage in many African nations for centuries.
