Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city's cultural heritage, in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.
Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China, but they are at risk. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs, most of which are near the Imperial Palace. Only 70 years ago, the number was 3,250. In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng, some people will be asked to move out from hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture.
“On average more than 100,000 people visit the Imperial Palace during the National Day holiday. The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics,” said Huang Yan, adding that hutongs should be protected from human damage.
The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of the cultural heritage worked. Wang Shaofeng said the area has 182 cultural relics, many of which were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). “The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage,” Wang said.
“Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage, especially hutongs, and any action that will damage the heritage will be punished,” Wang said.
No one knows for sure how many hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.
4.How many hutongs have disappeared in the past seventy years in Beijing
A.Less than 1,000. B.About 2,000.
C.More than 3,000. D.Over 4,000.
5.According to Huang Yan, what is the main cause of the damage to cultural relics
A.Visitors' activities. B.Residents' attitude.
C.Communities' behaviour. D.The government's policy.
6.Which of the following is a useful way to protect hutongs
A.To attract more visitors.
B.To punish anyone damaging them.
C.To increase the local population.
D.To forbid everyone getting close to them.
7.What will happen to hutongs in the near future
A.Only time will tell. B.No one will remember them.
C.The number will be growing. D.Hutongs will disappear completely.

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 due to a major modern science project,the idea is wrong.
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.
8.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
9.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
10.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
11.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
答案解析：
8.C 根据第一、三段内容可知,长期以来,历史学家和科学家们认为King Tut是被他的一位谋士谋害的。
9.B 根据第二段内容可知,King Tut的墓穴里摆满了皇家财宝,如金棺、金面具和成堆的珠宝首饰。由此可以得知,King Tut被安葬得十分隆重。
10.D 根据第四段内容可知,研究人员运用了DNA检测及电子扫描技术对其木乃伊进行了研究,从而获得了新发现。
11.A 通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了一项为King Tut的死因提供了一种不同解释的新研究。

Petra may be the treasure of an ancient world, hidden behind a tall mountain. Its beautiful scenery makes it one of the greatest ancient sites still standing today. Common sense says “perhaps there's nothing on the planet that looks like it”. Without a doubt, there's nothing in the world that resembles it. The rock carved rose red town of Petra is filled with a mysterious charm that had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”．
Petra is the legacy from the Nabataeans, a hard working group of Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then because of their culture, architecture and complex dams and water channels, Petra has become a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage site and listed in the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Petra is the most well known site in Jordan located about 262 km south of Amman and 133 km north of Aqaba. The Dead Sea is 80 kilometers north of it. The steeply rising sides of a long, cool, dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) basically keep the sunlight out. Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra's most well known monuments, which glows in the bright sun. The ancient city shows the visitors its beautiful look. The town is large and the quality of the architecture is surprising. It leads someone to think about the creativity from the Nabataeans who made Petra their capital.
Petra was the top architectural site for more than 400 years until it was occupied by the Romans in 106 AD. It was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost for nearly 300 years! Petra has 800 monuments, including buildings, tombs, baths, halls, temples, and streets, which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone. Petra sights are in their finest in the early morning and the late afternoon. Once the sun warms the colorful stones, you will see the majesty of Petra.
12．According to the passage, Petra was lost________.
A．in the 1500s B．in the 1600s
C．in the 1700s D．in the 1800s
13．What is the best title for the passage
A．Jordan, a country worth visiting B．Petra, Jordan's wonder of the world
C．The treasure hidden behind a mountain D．Petra, the best known ancient city in the world
14．What do we know about Petra from the passage
A．It is on the top of a mountain. B．It was a palace for the king.
C．It is a unique site. D．It was built by the Nabataeans in 106 AD.
15．Where is Petra according to the passage
A．It is about 133 km south of Aqaba. B．It is about 262 km north of Amman.
C．It is 80 km south of the Dead Sea. D．It is in southeast Jordan.
答案解析
本文主要介绍了具有悠久历史的古城佩特拉。
12.选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“It was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost for nearly 300 years！”可知，答案为A。
13.选B 标题归纳题。根据第一段“Petra may be the treasure of an ancient world, hidden behind a tall mountain.”和全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了Petra的特色，故答案为B。
14.选C 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Common sense says‘perhaps there's nothing on the planet that looks like it’．”可知佩特拉风光的独特性，故选C。
15. 选C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The Dead Sea is 80 kilometers north of it.”可知，答案为C。

How to protect the traditional Chinese cultures
A heated discussion was held in my class recently in order to encourage us students to protect the traditional Chinese cultures.
The students hold different points of view about that. Some suggest resisting Western holidays due to their strong influence. Some argue that we are supposed to hold some creative activities to celebrate traditional cultures so that we can have fun during Chinese festivals. Still others consider various competitions should be held at times, which provides more chances for the citizens to recite Chinese poems and practice calligraphy.
In my view, it is high time that we spared no effort to protect the traditional Chinese cultures. Otherwise, we will regret one day.

I remember the first time I met Roy.He was telling a joke.When he reached the final line,everyone burst out laughing.“A popular boy,” I thought to myself.My name is Daniel.I was the new boy in the class.There were 33 students in my new class,and most people weren’t very interested in a shy new boy.Roy was kind to me.He often invited me to join his particular group and we became good friends.We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later,Roy and I were still in the same class.But just a year ago Roy’s father was knocked over by a car.He died a few days later.The family had difficulty with finance.Roy changed completely.He started losing friends,including me.
About three months ago,a group of us were playing football together after school.Having left something in the classroom,I went inside to get it and found Roy going through the pockets of people’s coats.In his hand he had a wallet—and I knew it wasn’t his.Roy’s face went bright red.“I will put it back right now,”he said,and he did so.I turned round and walked out without saying a word.I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing,but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week,our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about ￡500.But to our surprise,the next morning,we were told that the money had been stolen.This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him.Roy was out.I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets.I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out.It looked as if there were about ￡500 there.I was so surprised that I just stood there,holding the notes in my hand.And that moment,Roy walked in.
Seeing me standing there with money in my hand,Roy felt panicked.
We went to the head teacher Mrs Smith together.

Seeing me standing there with money in my hand, Roy felt panicked.I became very angry, asking him if it was the money that we raised last week.His face went bright red, admitting that he had stolen it in a low voice. I slowly calmed down and hugged him, telling him that I would be willing to help him overcome his difficulty. He wept and then we had a sincere talk face to face. At last, we agreed to return the money.
We went to the head teacher Mrs Smith together. In the teacher’s office, Roy returned the money to Mrs Smith, and guaranteed not to do such things again.Though Mrs Smith was so surprised that she couldn’t believe her eyes, she praised him for his courage and told him if he had difficulty with finance she would be ready to help him. Roy was moved to tears. After that,we became good friends again.We trusted each other and shared sorrow and happiness together.Unit 1 Cultural Heritage 单元整体提升测试原卷版

Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city's cultural heritage, in particular the narrow streets known as hutongs.
Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China, but they are at risk. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 hutongs, most of which are near the Imperial Palace. Only 70 years ago, the number was 3,250. In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng, some people will be asked to move out from hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture.
“On average more than 100,000 people visit the Imperial Palace during the National Day holiday. The visitors put pressure on the protection of cultural relics,” said Huang Yan, adding that hutongs should be protected from human damage.
The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of the cultural heritage worked. Wang Shaofeng said the area has 182 cultural relics, many of which were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). “The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage,” Wang said.
“Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage, especially hutongs, and any action that will damage the heritage will be punished,” Wang said.
No one knows for sure how many hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.
4.How many hutongs have disappeared in the past seventy years in Beijing

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 due to a major modern science project,the idea is wrong.
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.
8.It has long been believed by historians and scientists that .

Petra may be the treasure of an ancient world, hidden behind a tall mountain. Its beautiful scenery makes it one of the greatest ancient sites still standing today. Common sense says “perhaps there's nothing on the planet that looks like it”. Without a doubt, there's nothing in the world that resembles it. The rock carved rose red town of Petra is filled with a mysterious charm that had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”．
Petra is the legacy from the Nabataeans, a hard working group of Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then because of their culture, architecture and complex dams and water channels, Petra has become a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage site and listed in the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Petra is the most well known site in Jordan located about 262 km south of Amman and 133 km north of Aqaba. The Dead Sea is 80 kilometers north of it. The steeply rising sides of a long, cool, dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) basically keep the sunlight out. Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra's most well known monuments, which glows in the bright sun. The ancient city shows the visitors its beautiful look. The town is large and the quality of the architecture is surprising. It leads someone to think about the creativity from the Nabataeans who made Petra their capital.
Petra was the top architectural site for more than 400 years until it was occupied by the Romans in 106 AD. It was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost for nearly 300 years! Petra has 800 monuments, including buildings, tombs, baths, halls, temples, and streets, which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone. Petra sights are in their finest in the early morning and the late afternoon. Once the sun warms the colorful stones, you will see the majesty of Petra.
12．According to the passage, Petra was lost________.
A．in the 1500s B．in the 1600s
C．in the 1700s D．in the 1800s
13．What is the best title for the passage
A．Jordan, a country worth visiting B．Petra, Jordan's wonder of the world
C．The treasure hidden behind a mountain D．Petra, the best known ancient city in the world
14．What do we know about Petra from the passage
A．It is on the top of a mountain. B．It was a palace for the king.
C．It is a unique site. D．It was built by the Nabataeans in 106 AD.
15．Where is Petra according to the passage
A．It is about 133 km south of Aqaba. B．It is about 262 km north of Amman.
C．It is 80 km south of the Dead Sea. D．It is in southeast Jordan.
