Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
Asia's architectural treasures, from a Buddhist monastery in Afghanistan to an ancient city in China, are under threat due to economic development, poor technical resources, war and tourism, according to experts.
The Global Heritage Fund named 10 sites facing the loss and destruction impossible to recover.① “These 10 sites represent only a small part of the endangered treasures across Asia and the rest of the developing world，” Jeff Morgan, executive director of the fund, said.
“We're looking at these millennial(千年的) civilizations leaping into the 21st century at a kind of pace that is unheard of②，” said Vishakha Desai, former president of the Asia Society, which hosted a conference based on the report. She mentioned the pressure of rapidly modernizing Asia on the architectural treasures.
Li Guanghan, head of Global Heritage Fund's China program, underlined in a presentation the importance of working to preserve Pingyao, one of China's last surviving walled cities. “But up to 20 years ago, there were hundreds of similar walled cities left in China，” she said. “The majority of them have been destroyed.”
Experts said that global architectural preservation efforts are poorly balanced and targeted, with the UN cultural body UNESCO focusing almost entirely on sites in already rich European countries, rather than in places like Latin America or Asia.③ More than 80 percent of UNESCO World Heritage Sites are located in the 10 richest states, the Global Heritage Fund said.
“Elsewhere, heritage is being undervalued，” Morgan said, warning that the endangered sites were sure to vanish without quick help. “We're going to lose them on our watch in the next 10 years.”

A. To praise the efforts by the Global Heritage Fund.

D. To stress the necessity of immediate action on heritage protection.
(　　) 2. According to the experts, UNESCO should ________.

B. attempt to strengthen global cooperation
C. pay equal attention to Asia's heritage protection
D. establish a clear goal of architectural preservation efforts
(　　) 3. What does the underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean
A. Disappear. B. Survive.
C. Remove. D. Recover.

Ⅱ. 七选五。[2025浙江四校联考]
When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren't interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. __1__ But understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help.
Scientists have looked at what makes us distracted and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. __2__ Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration, or gentle background music is great! It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand.
__3__ Psychologists and neuroscientists are increasingly interested in our ability to settle down and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says that “Attention Researcher Nilli Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions”. So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.
__4__ These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you're not attracted by other things, or chewing some gum! It's possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted.
But according to Science Focus magazine, distraction isn't all bad. If we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we'd miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. __5__
A. Distraction is vital for survival.
B. Staying focused can avoid dangers.
C. Performing visual tasks makes us concentrate.
D. One of the most obvious things is removing noise.
E. Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life.
F. There are more practical tips to keeping your mind focused.
G. Another possible cure for a short attention duration is brain training.

Johnson, who likes to look up at the sky, is a volunteer advocate for DarkSky, a movement aimed at reducing light pollution and promoting responsible outdoor lighting. DarkSky is active in more than 70 countries.
Light pollution can be disastrous for wildlife and particularly for migrating(迁徙的) birds. Many migratory birds are easy to be drawn to light. Once in a big city with brightly lit buildings, birds have trouble finding their way out again.
Johnson moved to Ridgefield years ago and loved how dark the sky was compared to living in the city. She worked with the City of Ridgefield to help ensure new house development adhered to local lighting regulations and passionately began sharing information about DarkSky at local events.
Johnson and other DarkSky volunteers and birding organizations made DarkSky's Principles of Outdoor Lighting for bird safety: Use targeted lighting; Use outdoor lighting only if needed; Turn outdoor lights to the lowest level possible; Add controlling features to your lights; Use warm colored outdoor lights. The Bird Alliance of Oregon promotes a “Lights Out” campaign during migration seasons to raise awareness of responsible lighting. This year, the Portland mayor signed a declaration setting Sept. 19Oct.19, 2024 as “Lights Out Portland Month”， encouraging residents to turn off unnecessary lights from 11 p．m. until dawn during migration periods.
All these efforts have made an impact on protecting the night sky for the health of birds and other wildlife. Johnson said proudly, “Lights_may_be_out_during_migration_season,_but_the_future_for_dark_skies_is_looking_up.”
(　　) 4. What's DarkSky
A. A private company. B. A charity club.
C. A public activity. D. A government agency.
(　　) 5. When did Johnson actively start spreading knowledge about DarkSky
A. Before she moved to Ridgefield.
B. The moment she became a volunteer.
C. After she joined the City of Ridgefield.
D. When the Poland mayor issued the declaration.
(　　) 6. What does the author want to highlight in Paragraph 4
A. Successful examples to save wildlife.
B. Significance of responsible lighting.
C. Steps to develop birding organizations.
D. Combined efforts to reduce light pollution.
(　　) 7. What does the underlined sentence mean
A. There will be a decrease in light pollution.
B. It's hard to predict the future for dark skies.
C. Bird migration season will be changed without lights.
D. It's urgent to protect the night skies during migration.

Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman builders built thick concrete sea barriers against waves. Mayan builders created great sculptures, and Chinese builders constructed walls against foreign enemies.
A growing number of scientists have been studying materials since a long time ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts, hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice and beer. These unexpected materials can have the ability to get stronger over time. Figuring out how to copy these features can have real impacts today. While some of our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall buildings and heavy structures, it cannot compete with the durability of these ancient materials.
Many scientists have turned to the Romans. Starting around 200 BC, the Roman Empire was building concrete structures that have stood the test of time. Even in places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete basically the way it was when it was poured 2，000 years ago. They think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. That the ancient materials have an unusual power to restore themselves and “cure” cracks when they form is the most shocking for them. Exactly how is not yet clear, but scientists are starting to find the reasons.
Today's builders cannot just copy the ancient processes. Even though Roman concrete lasted a long time, it couldn't hold up heavy buildings. Instead, researchers are trying to take some of the ancient materials and add them into modern mixes. People don't need to make things last quite as long as the Romans did. If we add 50 or 100 years to concrete's lifespan, we'll surely require less pulling down, less maintenance and less material in the long run.
(　　) 1. What were the mentioned Roman and Chinese buildings both used for
A. Soldier training. B. Travel.
C. Defence. D. Seawater control.
(　　) 2. Which word can best describe the ancient buildings
A. Energy efficient. B. Flexible.
C. Delicate. D. Long lasting.
(　　) 3. What surprises the scientists most about the ancient building materials
Their large cracks.
B. Their self repairing ability.
C. Their clear concrete.
D. Their internal structures.
(　　) 4. What is the author's attitude to the future concrete
A. Expectant. B. Contradictory.
C. Doubtful. D. Pessimistic.

The “Father of the National Park System”， John Muir was an influential writer, naturalist, and environmentalist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in 1838 in Dunbar, Scotland, he moved to the United States with his family and was attracted by the land. He was a prize winning inventor, but it's his love for wild places and absolute devotion to protecting them that we remember him for.
As a young man, he explored the North American continent by foot, walking thousands of miles until he eventually settled in California. There, he fell in love with Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. His article series, Studies in the Sierra, put his name on the map and launched a prolific writing career, with over 300 articles and 10 books published. A true mountain man, he encouraged everyone to “climb the mountains and get their good tidings”．
His writings inspired presidents, congressmen, and average citizens to care about nature. In 1890, due in large part to a series of articles he published in Century magazine, the US Congress created Yosemite National Park. Muir was also involved in the creation of the Sequoia, Mount Rainier, Petrified Forest, and Grand Canyon National Parks, thus earning his title.
But his work didn't stop there: in 1892, Muir and his supporters founded the Sierra Club to “do something for wildness and make the mountains glad”. In 1901, he published the book Our National Parks and caught the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt, who visited him at Yosemite. During that visit, they laid the foundation for Roosevelt's groundbreaking protection programs.
Muir died in 1914, but his memory lives on, continuing to inspire new generations of environmentalists everywhere.
(　　) 5. Which can best explain the underlined word “prolific” in Paragraph 2
A. High paying. B. Normal.
C. Full time. D. Productive.
(　　) 6. What contributed to Muir's writing career
A. His love for wild places.
B. His work as an environmentalist.
C. His devotion to national parks.
D. His exploration of American continents.
(　　) 7. What can we know from Paragraph 3
A. Muir's articles earned him his title.
B. Muir appealed for the protection of national parks.
C. Muir inspired people to visit national parks.
D. Muir's articles had an influence on official decision.
(　　) 8. Which words can best describe Muir

An incredibly adaptive species of coral discovered off the coast of Goolboddi Island in Northeast Australia has weathered hundreds of years of coral bleaching(白化) and survived till now. What can this teach scientists about preservation
At 34 feet wide, this coral is roughly the size of a carousel. Its incredible width is a result of its hard skeleton, which is made of calcium carbonate from the surrounding seawater. Nicknamed Muga dhambi, or “big coral”， it stands over 16 feet tall, making Muga dhambi the tallest coral in the Great Barrier Reef. This record breaking coral was discovered by local citizens.
Based on the coral's size and growth rate, scientists have calculated its lifetime is about 421438 years, meaning this ancient coral has survived as many as 80 cyclones and weathered 99 coral bleaching events. It has survived through centuries of low tides and outlived many invasive(入侵的) species.
It's extremely inspiring to know that these things like Muga dhambi exist, and have survived for a long time. The colony is in fairly good health with 70% of it consisting of live coral. Even as more coral cover is lost due to climate change, there is hope that adaptive species like Muga dhambi will continue to survive. Ancient colonies like Muga dhambi offer scientists a rare opportunity to learn more about reef conditions as long as these massive corals continue to grow.
Hopefully it helps to provide a new sense of hope for the future. There are many unexplored corners of the Great Barrier Reef, so it is possible that there are larger coral colonies waiting to be documented by local citizen scientists someday.
(　　) 1. What's the purpose of Paragraph 2
A. To raise an argument. B. To express opinions.
C. To give examples. D. To give information.
(　　) 2. What helps to estimate the lifetime of Muga dhambi
A. The surrounding seawater.
B. Its size and growth rate.
C. Its admirable survival skills.
D. The scaring invasive species.
(　　) 3. What can be used to replace the underlined word “documented”？
A. Displayed. B. Recorded. C. Spread. D. Reflected.
(　　) 4. Which is the suitable title for the text
A. The Great Barrier Reef Produces a Variety of Rare Corals
B. Multiple Invasive Species Surround the Great Barrier Reef
C. The Great Barrier Reef Survives Series of Coral Bleaching Events
D. A Centuries Old Coral Offers Hope for the Great Barrier Reef

The beautiful skill of leaf vein embroidery(叶脉绣) in Tongren City, Guizhou Province, has made Guizhou embroidery one of the main types of embroidery in China.
Leaf vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty(9601279) and has been used to share messages among various ethnic groups in southwestern China.
Yang Li, a master of this craft, has combined traditional embroidery styles from the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in her works on leaves, mixing traditional design with modern techniques. Leaf vein embroidery holds high value as a collectible art due to its complex process, which includes choosing and drying the leaves, then creating and embroidering the patterns.
Yang noted that in the past decade, only around 20 people in Tongren have been able to fully complete the whole leaf embroidery process on their own. Because of the long, hard work involved and the small number of high quality pieces made, it's challenging to keep this traditional skill alive. “I have introduced this style to universities, communities and villages and chosen skilled embroiderers to learn leaf vein embroidery, but very few have kept going，” Yang said.
In 2011, she opened a processing centre, creating jobs for more than 500 women, including women from villages and people with disabilities. As a result, almost every embroiderer now has a collection of handmade items that could fill a museum. “I feel a duty and a sense of urgency. In my lifetime, I must improve and pass on this craft，” she said. In 2022, Yang set up the Guizhou Embroidery Intangible Cultural Heritage Industry Base and has since used social media to share leaf vein embroidery through short videos with her student, Yang Xinyu.
“Leaf vein embroidery is a treasure，” said Yang Xinyu. “As a young person inspired by my teacher Yang Li, I am committed to carrying on this craft and hope that more young people will return to their hometowns to continue its legacy.”
(　　) 5. What is stated in the article about leaf vein embroidery
A. It has a history of more than 1，500 years.
B. It can now involve modern techniques.
C. It is widely practiced across Guizhou Province.
D. It became popular during the Song Dynasty.
(　　) 6. Why is it challenging to maintain the leaf vein embroidery skill
A. It requires rare materials. B. It relies on older artisans.
C. It has little artistic value. D. It demands great skill and effort.
(　　) 7. What has Yang Li achieved through her efforts
A. Introducing embroidery courses in colleges.
B. Simplifying the embroidery process.
C. Increasing demand for embroidery products.
D. Providing jobs for disadvantaged groups.
(　　) 8. Which of the following best describes Yang Li
A. Positive and modest.
B. Creative and responsible.
C. Determined and careful.
D. Generous and humorous.

How to stay fit while traveling rarely scores high on our priority list. Sometimes it is not that we're not motivated to stay fit or have no time. I believe the issue is that we are out of our regular “home routine”. __1__ Our brain simply can't link the new environment to our usual habits and puts itself in “explorer's mode”. How can we stay fit while traveling
Have a strong vision. The best way to create motivation to stay fit is something you can visualize. If you have the visual, it is good. __2__ If it helps, write it on a piece of paper and put it in your wallet. This will serve as a vision for you. Once you focus on the vision and consistently think about it, things get easier.
Prepare a “travel routine” ahead of time. Consistency is the most important part of the training process. __3__ I found that having a “travel routine” helps to signal the brain that from the organizational perspective nothing has changed. It doesn't have to be very detailed and can be as simple as a set of principles, like exercising in the morning or not eating too much after 6：00 p．m.
__4__ The easiest way to stay fit while traveling is to move and make active lifestyle a habit. Walk a couple of stops instead of taking the public transport. Use the stairs instead of an elevator. If there's a nice viewpoint, look for a way to hike to it rather than drive to it. Sure, it will be tough at first, but our bodies are good at adapting to anything. __5__
A. People, language, food—everything is different.
B. Stick to 10 minute morning stretches daily.
C. Picture it, feel it, and most importantly, focus on it.
D. Yet, traveling tends to break our regular pattern and change our focus.
E. Walk and explore more.
F. Gradually, you'll become stronger and start enjoying it.
G. Don't let travel become an excuse for being lazy.

Stonehenge, the world famous circle of stone columns, may have had a brother. A much bigger, older brother.
Researchers from the University of Bradford announced they had discovered about 100 stones covering several acres thought to have been built around 4，500 years ago.① The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project discovered the monument, which is near Durrington Walls, also known as “superhenge”. Stonehenge, which is believed to have been completed 3，500 years ago, is about 2 miles away. “What we are starting to see is the largest surviving stone monument, preserved underneath a bank, that has ever been discovered in Britain and possibly in Europe，” said Vincent Gaffney, an archaeologist at the University of Bradford who leads the project.
The evidence was found under 3 feet of earth. Some of the stones are thought to have stood 15 feet tall before they were toppled. “Our radar data has shown an amazing row of up to 90 standing stones, a number of which have survived after being pushed over, and a large bank placed over the stones②，” said Professor Wolfgang Neubauer, director of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Archaeological Prospection and Virtual Archaeology.
“In the east, up to 30 stones have survived below the bank，” he said. “The extraordinary scale and detail of the evidence produced by the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project, which the new discoveries at Durrington Walls exemplify, is greatly changing our understanding of Stonehenge and the world around it③，” Neubauer added.
“Everything written before about the Stonehenge landscape and the ancient monuments within it will need to be rewritten，” said Paul Garwood, a scientist and lead historian on the project at the University of Birmingham. The findings were announced on the first day of the British Science Festival held at the University of Bradford.④

There is a moment of awe that washes over you when you step into a forest. Century old trees tower above, sunlight twinkling through them. Birds tweet. __1__ How peaceful! Decades of research has shown that “forest bathing” is good for your health. Here is how you can gain health benefits from it.
Find a location where you're surrounded by trees.
__2__ But if you live far away from one or don't have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do.
Set aside a good amount of time.
To gain the ultimate rewards of forest bathing, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods, says Qing Li, a researcher on forest bathing. __3__ Another study found that participants who walked in the forest for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon saw an increase in anti cancer proteins and immune(免疫的) cells.
__4__
Your forest bathing session is not the time to squeeze(挤) in your hard exercise. Instead, it is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. If you exert yourself too much physically, your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing.
Breathe in the scent of the forest.
Many of the benefits of forest bathing come when we breathe in the chemicals that trees release into the air, called phytoncides. They can reduce our stress hormones and increase our levels of white blood cells known as natural killer cells. What if you can't make it to a forest __5__
A. Aim to reduce heart rate.
B. Engage in gentle exercise on a regular basis.

It wouldn't fly. It wouldn't eat. What was wrong with it I thought to myself as I glanced at the pigeon.
The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn't even seem to take note of them. Just as our eyes met—mine, dark brown; its, fiery orange—the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself up in self defense.
“I'm not going to hurt you，” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival instincts(本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often treated animals.
“I have a lot of bird friends，” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing either.
The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn't fly for some reason. Was it exhausted Heartbroken Abandoned It had a look in its eye that felt like it had given up. I thought of giving it an opportunity to change its mind.
I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped we could become friends and end up adopting it.
I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn't let me have a dog, I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you asked me, we had a unique bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination.
