从问题到解决方案
如果我们想改善社会,经济发展则是必要的。新旧更替的时代已经到来。在走向未来的过程中,我们不可能将过去的一切都保存下来。在发展和文化遗址的保护之间找到适当的平衡并保持是一个巨大的挑战。
然而,巨大的挑战有时能带来非常好的解决方案。20世纪50年代,埃及政府想要在尼罗河上建造一座新的大坝,以控制洪水、发电,并为该地区更多的农民供水。但该提议引发了抗议。大坝的水可能会破坏许多寺庙,并摧毁作为埃及文化遗产重要组成部分的文物。在听取了研究这一问题的科学家和住在大坝附近的居民的意见后,政府于1959年向联合国寻求帮助。
(联合国)成立了一个委员会来限制对埃及建筑物的破坏,防止文物的丢失。该组织要求不同部门捐款,并在国际社会上筹集资金。专家们调查了这个问题,进行了几次测试,然后就如何拯救这些建筑物提出了建议。最后,签署了一份文件,这项工作于1960年开始。
该项目汇集了来自世界各地的政府和环保人士。寺庙和其他文化遗址被一块一块拆下来,然后搬到一个安全的地方重新组装起来。1961年,德国工程师移走了第一座庙宇。在接下来的20年里,成千上万的工程师和工人拯救了22座庙宇和无数的文物。50个国家向该项目捐赠了近 8 000万美元。
当这个项目在1980年结束时,它被认为是一个巨大的成功。这些国家不仅找到了一条不以牺牲古迹为代价的未来发展之路,而且意识到了多个国家合作创造美好未来的可能性。
如今,阿斯旺水坝工程的精神仍然存在。也许最好的例子就是联合国教科文组织,它开展了一项防止世界各地世界文化遗产消失的计划。如果一个问题对于一个国家而言似乎太困难,那么国际社会有时可以提供解决方案。

The baguette, a long, thin French bread, is being added to UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread—made only of flour, water, salt, and yeast—was worth the recognition of the UN, after France's culture ministry warned of a “continuous drop” in the number of traditional bakeries (面包店), with some 400 closing every year over the past half century.
The UN cultural agency's chief, Audrey Azoulay, said, “The decision honors more than just bread; it recognizes the ‘graceful skills of bakers’ and ‘a daily ritual (习惯)’.” Azoulay added, “It is important that such baking knowledge and social practices can continue to exist in the future.”
With the bread's new status (地位), the French government said it planned to create a baguette day, called “Open Bakehouse Day”, to connect the French better with their heritage.Bakers in France seemed proud, if unsurprised.“Of course, it should be on the list because the baguette symbolizes the world,” said Asma Farhat, a baker at Julien's Bakery.“If there's no baguette, you can't have a proper meal.In the morning you can toast it, for lunch it's a sandwich, and then it accompanies dinner.”
Today, France's 67 million people still buy baguettes at a variety of sales points, including in supermarkets.According to France's “Bread Observatory”, the French eat 320 baguettes of one form or another every second.“It's very easy to get bad baguettes in France.It's the traditional baguette from the traditional bakery that is in danger,” said one local resident, Marine Fourchier.
The baguette joins other food on the Intangible Cultural Heritage list, which,UNESCO says, celebrates traditions or living expressions from our ancestors (祖先) and passes them on to our next generations.

B.Closing traditional baguette bakeries.
C.Including it on the UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

B.Audrey Azoulay thought it was difficult.
C.Audrey Azoulay thought it was shocking.
D.Audrey Azoulay thought it was creative.
A [推理判断题。根据第三段中Audrey Azoulay说的话我们可以知道,Audrey Azoulay认为这一决定不仅给了面包荣誉;它还认可了“面包师的优雅技能”和“日常习惯”,重要的是,这种烘焙知识和社会习俗在未来可以继续存在。所以Audrey Azoulay认为这一决定很有意义。故选A。]

A.Baguettes are common in the French diet.
B.Baguettes are easy to get in supermarkets.

C.Eating baguettes becomes a new tradition.

长难句
原句 UNESCO experts gathering in Morocco this week decided that the simple French bread—made only of flour, water, salt, and yeast—was worth the recognition of the UN, after France's culture ministry warned of a “continuous drop” in the number of traditional bakeries, with some 400 closing every year over the past half century.
分析 本句是一个主从复合句。句中“after France's culture ministry...the past half century”为after引导的时间状语从句,其中“with some 400 closing every year over the past half century”是with复合结构;“gathering in Morocco this week”为现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰UNESCO experts,decided后面的that引导的是宾语从句,“made...yeast”为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰the simple French bread。
译文 法国文化部警告说,传统面包店的数量在“持续下降”,在过去的半个世纪里,每年约有400家面包店倒闭,在此之后,本周聚集在摩洛哥的联合国教科文组织专家决定,这种仅由面粉、水、盐和酵母制成的简单的法国面包值得联合国的认可。

Scientists in Italy have discovered a fast food restaurant in the ancient Roman town of Pompeii.The remains help with the understanding of foods that were popular among Pompeii's citizens.Pompeii archaeological park director Massimo Osanna said Saturday that about 80 such fast food restaurants had been found at Pompeii.But the latest find is the first hot food drink restaurant—known as a thermopolium—that was completely discovered.Plant and animal specialists are still examining remains from the site.
They discovered a large counter area with wide holes on its top.The counter held deep containers for hot food.The front of the counter included works of art showing ducks and chickens.The images brightened the restaurant and also likely served as food advertisements.Another painting showed a dog on a leash.Valeria Amoretti is an anthropologist at Pompeii.She said early studies confirmed “how the painted images represented, at least in part, the foods and beverages(饮料) effectively sold inside”.
At the bottom of a wine container were remains of ground fava beans.In ancient times, the beans were added to wine for taste and to lighten its color.Massimo Osanna added, “We know what they were eating that day.” He was talking about the day of Pompeii's destruction(毁灭) in 79 A.D.“The food remains are examples of what was popular with the common folk(人们),” Osanna said.He added that wealthy Romans did not eat such street food.
One surprise find at the dig was the complete skeleton(骨架) of a dog.The scientists involved in the dig noted that it was not a large muscular dog like that painted on the counter.Amoretti said that instead it was a very small adult dog, whose height at shoulder level was 20 to 25 centimeters, and that it was rare to find remains of such small dogs from ancient times.The find may show that Romans at the time were carrying out “selective breeding(选择育种)” of dogs.

7.What do the food remains represent according to Massimo Osanna
A.The common folk's favorite diet.
B.Wealthy Romans' daily diet.
C.The common folk's popular beverages.

(3)关系代词在从句中作主语时,谓语动词的单复数取决于先行词。
2.关系代词只用that不用which的情况

For thousands of years, humans have built cities.Some of our oldest cities have managed to remain pieces of their original characteristics while others have disappeared completely.
One of these lost cities belonged to the Anasazi who lived in Chaco Canyon in New Mexico.They built houses along the river that ran through the valley.For nearly 300 years, Chaco Canyon was the population center of many desert cities.Now nothing is left of this busy city but ruins.Scientists think that drought may have made the Anasazi suffer from starvation (饥饿) or that some kind of disease killed off many of the people.However, no one knows for sure what happened to the people of Chaco Canyon.
Another lost city sits high atop the Andes Mountains in Peru: the city of Machu Picchu.It was once among the most powerful cities in South America.It was home to the Incan emperor.In 1527, its citizens packed up their belongings and moved for unknown reasons.Scientists guess that smallpox, a disease brought by European explorers, was Machu Picchu's downfall.Today, tourists from all over the world climb thousands of steep stone steps to view the ruins of this once great city.
Yet another city that is no more was called Pompeii.This was one of the wealthiest cities of ancient Italy.This beautiful seaside city was a lively center of trade.However, lava (火山岩浆),smoke, and ash from Mount Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii, putting an end to its prosperity (繁华).Scientists have studied the ruins of Pompeii, which led to new discoveries about ancient civilizations of Europe.
Humans have always built cities as centers for trade, business, and family life.Cities that have been lost provide information about the past, helping to inform our future.By studying lost cities, we can learn how to protect our current cities.

1.C [设空处上文说到立秋是一年中的第13个节气,标志着夏天的结束和秋天的开始,C项(硕果累累的季节即将来临)顺应上文内容,秋天就是硕果累累的季节,秋天的开始标志着硕果累累的季节即将来临。故选C。]
2.A [设空处为该段小标题,应突出该段内容的核心主题。根据后文可知,该段是在说秋天到来之后仍会存在一段天气较热的时期,这一时期即为“秋老虎”。A项(秋老虎)符合语境。故选A。]
3.D [根据该段的小标题Gathering crops可知,该段讲述立秋与秋收的关系,结合常识可知,秋收的主人公应是农民,D项(立秋对农民来说是一个重要的节气)提及了立秋和农民的关系,符合语境。故选D。]
4.G [前文讲述了一个有关立秋的传统(在杭州,人们会在这一天吃桃,桃核一直留存到除夕夜,然后扔进火炉里烧成灰烬),设空处为段尾句。G项(人们相信,通过这种方式,一整年都可以避免坏的事情)是对该传统的意义的总结,符合语境。故选G。]
5.E [设空处前文提到在立秋前夕,人们可以在私人或公共果园中触摸并免费拿走各种各样的水果,设空处后文提到许多园丁甚至在夜里故意为客人留下一些成熟的水果,E项(不管他们损失了多少,主人都不会生气)与下文意义一致,他们不但不会生气,还会故意留下一些成熟的水果,E项符合语境。故选E。]

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一款微信小程序的上线,它能够让游客在虚拟的世界中体验攀登长城和保护长城。
1.it [考查代词。句意:绵延2万多公里的长城是一个历史地标,但攀登它是艰苦的工作。此处应用代词指代前文中提到的“the Great Wall”。故填it。]
2.determination [考查名词。分析句子成分可知,设空处与or前面的strength为并列成分,均作has的宾语,所以应填名词determination。此处指不是每个人都有力量和决心爬上它高高的台阶和陡峭的斜坡。]
3.physically [考查副词。分析句子成分可知,设空处修饰后面的动词短语take part in,应用副词作状语,故填physically。]
4.started [考查过去分词。此处指一个最近创办的微信小程序。start意为“创办”,并与WeChat miniprogram之间为被动关系,且动作已完成,所以应用过去分词作前置定语。故填started。]
5.where [考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,前面是名词短语a virtual world, 此处指一个最近创办的微信小程序让每一个历史爱好者都能成为虚拟世界中的英雄,在这个虚拟世界里,人们不仅可以爬上长城,还可以保护它,由此可推测设空处引导的是定语从句,先行词为a virtual world,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故填where。]
6.went [考查动词的时态。分析句子成分可知,设空处作谓语,根据句中的时间状语“on June 11, 2022”可知应用一般过去时。故填went。]
7.national [考查形容词。设空处修饰其后的“Cultural and Natural Heritage Day”,应用形容词national。]
8.weeks [考查名词复数。此处指最近几周,该小程序引起了很多热烈的反响。week为可数名词,由语境可知此处表示复数含义。故填weeks。]
9.to [考查介词。句意:由于先进的数字技术,虚拟模型“精确到了毫米”。thanks to意为“由于”。故填to。]
10.to offer [考查动词不定式。句意:大约5万张高清图片被使用以便为用户提供极好的体验。此处应用不定式作目的状语。故填to offer。]
【高频词汇】
1.historical adj.(有关)历史的 2.offer v.提供;主动提出 3.preservation n.保护;维护;保存 4.advanced adj.先进的;高等的
长难句
原句 However, a recently started WeChat miniprogram is allowing every history lover to be a hero in a virtual world where one not just climbs the Great Wall, but protects it.
分析 该句为主从复合句。where引导定语从句,修饰先行词a virtual world,在这个从句中,not just...but...连接两个并列的谓语动词climbs和protects。
译文 然而,一个最近创办的微信小程序让每一个历史爱好者都能成为虚拟世界中的英雄,在这个虚拟世界里,人们不仅可以爬上长城,还可以保护它。
