The UNESCO's World Heritage List is a prestigious honour awarded to sites of outstanding universal value around the world. Did you know there are 1,157 UNESCO World Heritage Sites spanning across 167 countries We've picked out our top 4 for you to visit below.
The Acropolis, Greece
The Acropolis is an ancient castle that stands proud in Athens, Greece. Back in the fifth century BC after the battle with the Persians, the plan of Pericles came to life under the influence of Pheidias, a sculptor. It then became a place for thought and art to flourish, where symbols of classical spirit and civilisation came alive.
Historic Centre of Rome, Italy
According to Roman mythology, Rome, known as the Eternal City, was founded in 753 BC and later became the capital of the mighty Roman Empire. Rome is home to a number of attractions including the Forum, the Pantheon and the Colosseum! This World Heritage site contains the whole historic centre within the city walls and reflects the influence of the Renaissance and Baroque periods on making it one of Italy's most popular cities.
Ayutthaya Historical Park, Thailand
The historic city of Ayutthaya in Thailand was founded around 1350 and was subsequently destroyed in the 18th century by the Burmese. What are left today are the ruins and some key highlights include the Buddhist temples of Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Mahathat and Wat Phra Si Sanphet. The area is home to the remains of tall prangs(reliquary towers) and should not be missed.
Cultural Landscape of Bali, Indonesia
The landscape in Bali is unlike anything else on Earth. Consisting of five rice terraces(梯田) and water temples covering 19,500 hectares, the cultural landscape takes your breath away. This site gains honour through an ancient cooperative water management system of canals and weirs, known as subak, dating back to the 9th century.

At Beijing's Palace Museum, it sometimes seems that time stands still, but the clocks keep ticking at a small workshop. This is where clock conservator Qi Haonan works. As the fourth generation to repair and restore antique clocks at the museum since 1949, Qi has made more than 100 timepieces return to their former glory.
“What amazes me most about these clocks is that they combine the scientific advances, technological precision and the trend in decorative art of their particular era. I want to enable more people to marvel(惊叹) at the mechanics,”Qi says, adding that through short-video platforms, where his accounts have attracted more than 3 million followers, he can share with a wider audience just how magnificent the clocks are when they are fully functional.
“These clocks are rare treasures, not only serving as a plaything for emperors, but also witnessing the development of the mechanical weaving machine,”Qi says. He notes that the job requires extreme patience, because clock restoration is a dull and meticulous process, adding that it is positive proof of the proverb “haste makes waste” and, in this case, haste can do a great deal of damage.
Although the antique clock repairing techniques at the Palace Museum were listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2014, it was a little-known skill and in short supply of career candidates before 2016, when the three-part TV documentary, Masters in the Forbidden City, brought the profession into the national consciousness. Before the release of the documentary, for a decade it had just been him and his mentor Wang Jin doing the job. They tried to recruit graduates from college, but nobody applied. Qi didn't expect that the documentary would make the profession a big hit. As a result, in 2017, Qi got two apprentices(学徒) and Wang got three.
“With the rising attention and influence, antique clock restoration can not only be further developed, but also be expanded to more museums that house antique clocks and watches,”Qi says.
24.What impressed Qi most about the antique clocks
A.The glory of serving emperors.
B.The charm of decorative styles.
C.The combination of multi-field skills.
D.The magnificence of advanced technology.
25.What does the underlined word “meticulous” mean in Paragraph 3
A.Interesting. B.Careful.
C.Fast. D.Elegant.
26.What can we infer about Masters in the Forbidden City
A.It introduces jobs to graduates.
B.It reveals the unknown profession.
C.It records the history of documentaries.
D.It attracts tourists to the Palace Museum.
27.What does Qi think of the future of antique clock restoration
A.Promising. B.Unpredictable.
C.Declining. D.Stable.
C
In valleys with thick plants, different-sized round and square buildings with faded yellow clay walls and wooden roofs, tulou lie in mountainous villages in Longyan, Fujian Province. There are more than 23,000 tulou in Yongding District, which became well-known after 46 were given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008. “The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said.
The giant multi-storied tulou were built with wood and mud walls. Constructed from the 13th to 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited based on feng shui principles, which claim to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their environment. Tulou are also purposefully resting amid tea, tobacco, rice plantations and abundant forests of pine and bamboo.
Throughout history, tulou residents have mostly been Hakka—migrants in southern China. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as defences. The buildings are mainly four or five stories high. The first floor serves as the kitchen, the second is used for grain storage and the upper floors act as living areas. The structures are mainly symmetrical, and their defensive features include ironclad gates, escape tunnels, narrow openings for weapons under the dark tiled roofs, and a water well. For their defensive function, only rooms on the third floor and higher have windows, which are very small. With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict.
Communal living is integrity to these villages, where the closed wall design boosts social interaction. Residents gather in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings. Tulou are such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO.
28.What do we know about tulou
A.Over 23,000 tulou were given World Heritage status.
B.Among 23,000 tulou, only 46 became famous globally.
C.They're exceptional buildings of tradition and function.
D.Tulou are the most outstanding Chinese human settlement.
29.What is most important for residents during a long period of conflict
A.Escape tunnels.
B.Enough food.
C.Small windows.
D.Defensive weapons.
30.What is probably the author's attitude to the protection of tulou
A.Favorable. B.Unclear.
C.Negative. D.Unconcerned.
31.Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A.Tulou: in Harmony with Their Environment
B.Tulou: Different-Sized Round and Square Buildings
C.Tulou: Given World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2008
D.Tulou: a Special Chinese Structure Combining Living and Defending
D
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historical area of a city In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historical feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historical areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like changes.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
32.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph
A.Some of them are not attractive.
B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D.They have nothing to do with the historical feel of an area.
33.Which of the following is true according to the author
A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
34.According to the last paragraph,what does the author probably want the architect and planner to do
A.To destroy old buildings.
B.To choose new architectural styles.
C.To put things in a different place.
D.To respect people's feelings for historical buildings.
35.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To explain why people dislike changes.
B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C.To admit that new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historical areas.

The cultural heritage is not limited to physical objects. It can also refer to beliefs, traditions, languages, and cooking. These are often passed down from generation to generation. 36 The preservation of these cultural treasures can help promote global understanding and mutual respect.
37 Determining what constitutes(构成) the “cultural heritage” is often a challenging and contentious task, and advocates of cultural preservation and integrity are often accused of making false assumptions(假设) about the cultures they study.
It is important to recognize that the cultural heritage is not limited to physical objects. It also includes living expressions of culture inherited from our ancestors. The intangible cultural heritage refers to knowledge and practices related to the environment and traditional crafts. 38 It is essential to protect these valuable assets for their appreciation.
39 It is essential to preserve these objects in order to preserve their significance. And it is necessary to protect the intangible cultural heritage, because it is often overlooked. These works of art have symbolic and aesthetic(美学的) value and are valuable to the people of the country. Some of them are even more significant than the physical objects.
As the cultural heritage is a part of a culture, it should be protected. However, if someone is trying to patent a design, you have to ensure that you do not copy it. 40 Whether they're paintings, sculptures, or food, they're worth protecting. Fortunately, it's important to protect and conserve our cultural heritage. It's the legacy of the culture and the way it was once lived.
A.They are a source of pride and identity of a nation.
B.The cultural heritage includes the inheritance of a culture.
C.These can be valuable as a tool for future generations.
D.The cultural heritage is a vital part of any society.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a freezing morning of December, two police officers were patrolling the streets. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie(无线电对讲机) on Alan, one of the officers, rang. “The cake shop near the City Museum has reported a burglary(入室盗窃案). Please rush to the scene immediately,” said the electronic voice.
The two policemen quickly arrived at the shop, only to find that the scene showed no sign of crimes at all. Curiously, they checked the monitor and found that a thin woman broke the window and climbed into the store at 5:20 a.m. Instead of searching around, she walked straight into the storage room, stole cheese, chocolate, butter and other ingredients for a cake, and then ran away down the road.
Both policemen felt quite confused about her behavior. One of the shop assistants identified the thief as Clara, a single mother who lived nearby. She had an eight-year-old boy to take care of and lived in poverty.
Moments later, the two officers arrived at Clara's house. Bob, another officer, pulled out a gun and was about to break in. But Alan told him to put the gun away and knocked gently.
The door opened and out came a very thin woman. From the outline of her figure, Alan recognized that she was exactly the thief. The woman, Clara, immediately understood the situation when she saw the two policemen. She buried her face in her hands and sat down on the floor.
At that very moment, a child's voice broke the silence, “Mom, is anyone coming to my birthday party Invite them in, please.”
After hearing the boy's words, Clara stood up and begged in a low voice, “Officer, I did steal those things, but there's nothing else I could do. It's my baby's birthday, and I've got neither a job nor money. Please don't take those things away. I've just used them to make him a cake.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Looking into the woman's teary eyes, Alan understood and walked into the house.
Bob nodded thoughtfully and asked, “What about the things she stole ”

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国发现的一件石器时代的鸟类雕塑,该雕塑将中国雕塑艺术的起源向前推进了八千多年。
56.uncovered 考查过去分词。分析句子可知,句中已有谓语,此处应用非谓语动词,uncover与被修饰词之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填uncovered。
57.the 考查冠词。此处特指上文提到的“A Stone Age bird sculpture”,应用定冠词the。
58.as 考查介词。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语describe...as...,表示“把……描述为……”,符合语境。故填as。
59.was found 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,设空处为谓语动词,主语the sculpture和动词find之间为被动关系,结合上下文语境可知,此处陈述过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时的被动语态;主语为单数形式。故填was found。
60.to prevent 考查动词不定式。分析句子可知,此处为动词不定式作目的状语。故填to prevent。
61.original 考查形容词。设空处修饰名词短语artistic tradition,应用形容词original,表示“原始的”。故填original。
62.technologically 考查副词。设空处修饰动词differs,应用副词。故填technologically。
63.tracing 考查现在分词。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰the missing link,the missing link和trace之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词形式。故填tracing。
64.who 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,分析句子可知,“ 64 led the study”缺少主语,故推测设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Li Zhanyang,指人。故填who。
65.tools 考查名词复数。设空处作宾语,tool为可数名词,意为“工具”,此处表示各种工具,应用复数形式。故填tools。
第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
There are many cultural heritage sites in China. I am extremely willing to introduce the Palace Museum, which enjoys a high reputation in the world. The magnificent and well-preserved complex, also known as the Forbidden City, represents the highest architectural level in ancient China. With a history of about 600 years, it lies in the center of Beijing, witnessing dramatic changes of this city. Nowadays, it has become a must-see spot that attracts an enormous number of visitors every year.
If you have a chance to visit the Palace Museum one day, please keep in mind that under no circumstances should you leave any marks on the cultural relics.
第二节
One possible version:
Looking into the woman's teary eyes, Alan understood and walked into the house. There were no more possessions except for some time-worn furniture, even no fireplace in such weather. At the sight of Alan, the boy, whose face was bright red with cold, could barely contain himself. “Would you like some cake, sir ” he smiled eagerly. “I would like to. But I'm on duty. I just come over to say Happy Birthday to you, kid!” Coming out of the house, Alan gestured for Clara to come in and walked away, making Bob at a loss. “But we haven't finished yet!” Alan turned around and firmly said, “We can't get her, at least not today.”
Bob nodded thoughtfully and asked, “What about the things she stole ” “The bill is on me,” Alan volunteered. After returning to the cake shop, he explained the incident to the shop owner and then paid for the stolen materials. Afterwards, Clara went to the police station, asking for her punishment. What the officers had done made her feel ashamed of her theft. She said that she would improve her life through her own efforts and would no longer do anything illegal again. Everything settled, Alan and Bob continued the patrol and it seemed not that cold ever after.
