【改编自译林选必三U4】
Welcome, everybody. It's wonderful to be here. Before we begin, I want to ask you: have you ever been awed by natural wonders Have you ever been fascinated by human civilization If so, you might already understand why UNESCO is fighting to preserve sites of cultural and natural importance to mankind. I have the belief that some of you have heard about UNESCO heritage sites or maybe even visited one! There are currently around 1，100 sites in more than 160 countries worldwide. Unfortunately, they face a variety of dangers and many of them are in urgent need of protection. Let's look at some specific issues.
Heritage sites are at risk from natural forces. The long-term natural forces, such as wind, water and temperature, can gradually wear down heritage sites. For instance, the Great Pyramid of Giza is now several metres shorter than it was originally. Natural disasters, the sudden and powerful natural forces, can lead to the destruction of heritage sites: in 2003, a terrible earthquake shook south-eastern Iran and ruined large parts of the city of Bam, an incredible UNESCO cultural heritage site.
Another big danger is human activities. Wars can cause a great deal of damage to both cultural and natural heritage sites. Sometimes, amazing ancient clay sculptures and buildings are accidentally destroyed by missile attacks during periods of violence. In some conflict areas where civil wars often break out, fighters have even destroyed heritage sites on purpose.
Meanwhile, World Heritage status may give rise to a series of problems. One of the problems is the flood of tourists. Millions of tourists travel to UNESCO World Heritage Sites every year, so it is only natural that the sites suffer a bit of wear and tear. The temples of Angkor in Cambodia are typical examples of unique architecture. Every day, thousands of tourists climbing up the narrow stone steps are wearing down these ancient buildings and the long-term consequences could lead to irreparable destruction of the internal structure.
√
1．What's the main idea of the second paragraph
A．UNESCO heritage sites are beautiful.
B．The Great Pyramid of Giza is shorter now.
C．Heritage sites are at risk from natural forces.
D．Natural disasters are very powerful.
√
2．What is one of the problems caused by World Heritage status
A．Lack of tourists.
B．Fewer donations.
C．The flood of tourists.
D．Decrease in popularity.
√
3．What does the underlined word “irreparable” in the last paragraph mean
A．Easy to repair.
B．Impossible to repair.
C．Not very serious.
D．Quickly repaired.
√
4．What can we infer from the passage
A．All UNESCO heritage sites are in danger.
B．Human activities are the only danger to heritage sites.
C．There are no solutions to protecting heritage sites.
D．UNESCO is taking measures to protect heritage sites.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·惠州高二期中)The Mogao Grottoes are located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang, China. Until now, most mural paintings at the Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (把……编码) the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning.This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at the Mogao Grottoes, which was notable progress. This new research work is led by Qingquan Li from Shenzhen University.
With the help of experts from the Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To reveal the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3，860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network (卷积神经网络) and classified these painting images according to the right era. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to dating the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from the Dunhuang Academy.“These dating results are correct and the method is great，” said Mr. Hui-Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of the Dunhuang Academy.
“To the best of our knowledge，” wrote the researchers, “this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning.”

(2024·长沙长郡中学高二期中)Discoveries at the
famous Sanxingdui Ruins site in Southwest China
show that the region's ancient Shu Kingdom
civilisation shared similarities with Maya civilisation.
The Sanxingdui Ruins site, located in the city of Guanghan, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu, belonged to the ancient Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4，800 years ago and lasted more than 2，000 years, while Maya civilisation built its city states around 200 CE.
The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in Maya civilisation. “It is a very important similarity，” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist, stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a kind of symbolism that is very similar”．
While the time period of the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Maya culture is greatly different, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilisations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their world views through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at the latitude both the ancient Shu people and the Maya looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon，” the expert says.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at the Sanxingdui Ruins site was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts to be as fragile as silk remains.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Maya world, where the rainy climate and humidity (温度) are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak the same language or not, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental，” says Santos.

A．Damp weather. B．Locating of ruins.
C．High latitude. D．Language barriers.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They developed in areas with comparable climates”和倒数第二段内容可知，这两处遗址的所在地有类似的气候，即多雨、潮湿，因此保护这两处遗址的共同挑战是潮湿的天气。
√

A．The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.
B．The benefits of speaking a different language.
C．The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.

【改编自译林选必三U4】
Welcome, everybody. It's wonderful to be here. Before we begin, I want to ask you: have you ever been awed by natural wonders Have you ever been fascinated by human civilization If so, you might already understand why UNESCO is fighting to preserve sites of cultural and natural importance to mankind. I have the belief that some of you have heard about UNESCO heritage sites or maybe even visited one! There are currently around 1，100 sites in more than 160 countries worldwide. Unfortunately, they face a variety of dangers and many of them are in urgent need of protection. Let's look at some specific issues.
Heritage sites are at risk from natural forces. The long-term natural forces, such as wind, water and temperature, can gradually wear down heritage sites. For instance, the Great Pyramid of Giza is now several metres shorter than it was originally. Natural disasters, the sudden and powerful natural forces, can lead to the destruction of heritage sites: in 2003, a terrible earthquake shook south-eastern Iran and ruined large parts of the city of Bam, an incredible UNESCO cultural heritage site.
Another big danger is human activities. Wars can cause a great deal of damage to both cultural and natural heritage sites. Sometimes, amazing ancient clay sculptures and buildings are accidentally destroyed by missile attacks during periods of violence. In some conflict areas where civil wars often break out, fighters have even destroyed heritage sites on purpose.
Meanwhile, World Heritage status may give rise to a series of problems. One of the problems is the flood of tourists. Millions of tourists travel to UNESCO World Heritage Sites every year, so it is only natural that the sites suffer a bit of wear and tear. The temples of Angkor in Cambodia are typical examples of unique architecture. Every day, thousands of tourists climbing up the narrow stone steps are wearing down these ancient buildings and the long-term consequences could lead to irreparable destruction of the internal structure.

1．What's the main idea of the second paragraph
A．UNESCO heritage sites are beautiful.
B．The Great Pyramid of Giza is shorter now.
C．Heritage sites are at risk from natural forces.
D．Natural disasters are very powerful.
√
2．What is one of the problems caused by World Heritage status
A．Lack of tourists.
B．Fewer donations.
C．The flood of tourists.
D．Decrease in popularity.
√
3．What does the underlined word “irreparable” in the last paragraph mean
A．Easy to repair.
B．Impossible to repair.
C．Not very serious.
D．Quickly repaired.
√
4．What can we infer from the passage
A．All UNESCO heritage sites are in danger.
B．Human activities are the only danger to heritage sites.
C．There are no solutions to protecting heritage sites.

(2024·惠州高二期中)The Mogao Grottoes are located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor along the ancient Silk Road in Dunhuang, China. Until now, most mural paintings at the Mogao Grottoes have been dated by directly referring to the mural texts or historical documents. However, some are still left with the creation era (年代) uncertain due to the lack of reference materials or the disagreement of art experts.
The drawing style of mural paintings was changing throughout history and can be learned and quantified through painting data. A new dating method has been developed by encoding (把……编码) the drawing styles using visual codes learned through deep learning.This new method successfully discovered the creation era of six mural paintings at the Mogao Grottoes, which was notable progress. This new research work is led by Qingquan Li from Shenzhen University.
With the help of experts from the Dunhuang Academy, seven mural paintings from two grottoes (No. 205 and No. 206) were chosen as subjects for this dating research.
To reveal the creation era of these paintings, Qin Zou, a researcher from Wuhan University, collected 3，860 mural paintings from 194 different grottoes with confirmed creation-era labels. To find the visual codes that can identify the era in these paintings, the authors constructed a deep convolutional neural network (卷积神经网络) and classified these painting images according to the right era. Based on the classification model, a dating method was built and applied to dating the seven paintings.
Six of the new dating results were approved by experts from the Dunhuang Academy.“These dating results are correct and the method is great，” said Mr. Hui-Min Wang, a distinguished expert from the Archaeological Institute of the Dunhuang Academy.
“To the best of our knowledge，” wrote the researchers, “this work represents the first account of a scientific and quantitative manner to support the era prediction and reduce the uncertainties in dating ancient paintings by using deep learning.”

(2024·长沙长郡中学高二期中)Discoveries at the
famous Sanxingdui Ruins site in Southwest China
show that the region's ancient Shu Kingdom
civilisation shared similarities with Maya civilisation.
The Sanxingdui Ruins site, located in the city of Guanghan, about 60 kilometers from Chengdu, belonged to the ancient Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4，800 years ago and lasted more than 2，000 years, while Maya civilisation built its city states around 200 CE.
The bronze-made remains of trees unearthed at the ruins of the ancient Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in Maya civilisation. “It is a very important similarity，” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist, stressing that “the representations of trees in both cultures provide a kind of symbolism that is very similar”．
While the time period of the ancient Shu Kingdom and the Maya culture is greatly different, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilisations.
