A
The Global Heritage Fund organization recently released a list of cultural treasures in the developing world that are in danger of disappearing. These “On_the_Verge” places face many threats (威胁). They include war，development pressures，stealing and misuse by visitors. The Global Heritage Fund says these places are important because they are records of our human civilization. And the group says countries can learn to use these treasures to help support responsible development in the future.
One such place is the town of Lamu. Lamu was once a very important trading center in East Africa. This ancient city became part of the United Nations World Heritage list in 2001.But it still faces threats. For example，a modern port might be built nearby.
Other endangered places include Ani，a city in Turkey，the town of Maluti in India，the ancient city of Ninevah in northern Iraq，the Sans Souci palace in Haiti，and the former capital of Ayutthaya in Thailand.
The Global Heritage Fund is a nonprofit (非盈利的) organization based in California. The group says it only focuses on developing countries which often have few resources to protect places of cultural importance. And，other major cultural organizations often pay more attention to protecting places in the developed world. For example，the fund points out that the United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization has forty five World Heritage places in Italy. UNESCO has forty two in Spain. But Peru，famous for its ancient Incan buildings，has only nine World Heritage places. Guatemala has only three.
The Global Heritage Fund says its new report tries to place a value on cultural places so that they can also be considered as economic resources. It estimates that by 2025，these places of cultural importance could produce one hundred billion dollars a year in income for developing countries.

While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged，loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症)．
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as“distant parent phenomenon”， which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”．
9．According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by ________.
A．their earlier experience of living alone
B．the poor living conditions in their native countries
C．the common worry that they have not saved much money
D．the distance between where parents live and where their children live
10．Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to ________.
A．realize their dreams in foreign countries
B．seek a better place for their aged parents
C．live in the countries with more money
D．continue their studies abroad
11．If young people go abroad, ________.
A．they do not hold to the value of duty at all
B．they can give some help to their parents back home
C．they cannot do what they should for their parents
D．they believe what they actually do is right
12．From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A．the situations in the developed and developing countries are different
B．“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society
C．children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
D．the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”
D
There are a lot of dangerous and terrible pests in India, but the tree bees are the most terrible. They are killers.
Last year I was on holiday there. Riding along a road one sunny morning, I found the air above me suddenly became thick with bees. Although it was hot, I went cold all over. To run away fast seemed the only thing to do, but my horse was frightened, too. He jumped and kicked out in all directions to get rid of the bees that were attacking him, and then threw me to the ground.
The village was about half a mile away. I began to run. But by now I was covered from head to foot with bees. They crawled all over me. stinging (刺) with terrible pain. I tore them away, but made room for others. Each time I opened my lips for breath. more bees entered my mouth. I could hardly breathe.
Then I reached the village. I ran towards a house that was being built. As soon as the men working there saw the bees, they ran for safety at top speed.
My eyes had completely closed. I fell into a pile of something soft. I pushed myself down into this until my head and shoulders were covered. This made bees angry and they began to attack my legs. I struggled but soon became tired out. The bees had won.
At last I was saved by two clever soldiers. They ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They remained with me, I later learned, looking after me for the next three hours until a doctor was found and brought.
13．When the air suddenly became thick with bees, ________.
A．it became cold
B．the writer went cold with fear
C．it was rather cold, though fine
D．the horse threw the writer to the ground
14．The writer tore the bees away ________.
A．in order to make room for other bees
B．but they flew away slowly
C．but other bees took the space again
D．in order to let his breath out
15．When the men building the house saw the bees they ran away quickly ________.
A．in order not to be attacked by the bees
B．to look for something to drive the bees away
C．to help the writer to cover his head and shoulders with soft things
D．because they were afraid of the writer

A
The Global Heritage Fund organization recently released a list of cultural treasures in the developing world that are in danger of disappearing. These “On_the_Verge” places face many threats (威胁). They include war，development pressures，stealing and misuse by visitors. The Global Heritage Fund says these places are important because they are records of our human civilization. And the group says countries can learn to use these treasures to help support responsible development in the future.
One such place is the town of Lamu. Lamu was once a very important trading center in East Africa. This ancient city became part of the United Nations World Heritage list in 2001.But it still faces threats. For example，a modern port might be built nearby.
Other endangered places include Ani，a city in Turkey，the town of Maluti in India，the ancient city of Ninevah in northern Iraq，the Sans Souci palace in Haiti，and the former capital of Ayutthaya in Thailand.
The Global Heritage Fund is a nonprofit (非盈利的) organization based in California. The group says it only focuses on developing countries which often have few resources to protect places of cultural importance. And，other major cultural organizations often pay more attention to protecting places in the developed world. For example，the fund points out that the United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization has forty five World Heritage places in Italy. UNESCO has forty two in Spain. But Peru，famous for its ancient Incan buildings，has only nine World Heritage places. Guatemala has only three.
The Global Heritage Fund says its new report tries to place a value on cultural places so that they can also be considered as economic resources. It estimates that by 2025，these places of cultural importance could produce one hundred billion dollars a year in income for developing countries.

A．popular B．famous
C．endangered D．dangerous
2．We can know that the Global Heritage Fund organization mainly________.
A．protects places of cultural importance in developing countries

While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged，loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症)．
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as“distant parent phenomenon”， which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”．
9．According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by ________.
A．their earlier experience of living alone
B．the poor living conditions in their native countries
C．the common worry that they have not saved much money
D．the distance between where parents live and where their children live
10．Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to ________.
A．realize their dreams in foreign countries
B．seek a better place for their aged parents
C．live in the countries with more money
D．continue their studies abroad
11．If young people go abroad, ________.
A．they do not hold to the value of duty at all
B．they can give some help to their parents back home
C．they cannot do what they should for their parents
D．they believe what they actually do is right
12．From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A．the situations in the developed and developing countries are different
B．“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society
C．children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
D．the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”
D
There are a lot of dangerous and terrible pests in India, but the tree bees are the most terrible. They are killers.
Last year I was on holiday there. Riding along a road one sunny morning, I found the air above me suddenly became thick with bees. Although it was hot, I went cold all over. To run away fast seemed the only thing to do, but my horse was frightened, too. He jumped and kicked out in all directions to get rid of the bees that were attacking him, and then threw me to the ground.
The village was about half a mile away. I began to run. But by now I was covered from head to foot with bees. They crawled all over me. stinging (刺) with terrible pain. I tore them away, but made room for others. Each time I opened my lips for breath. more bees entered my mouth. I could hardly breathe.
Then I reached the village. I ran towards a house that was being built. As soon as the men working there saw the bees, they ran for safety at top speed.
My eyes had completely closed. I fell into a pile of something soft. I pushed myself down into this until my head and shoulders were covered. This made bees angry and they began to attack my legs. I struggled but soon became tired out. The bees had won.
At last I was saved by two clever soldiers. They ran to a pile of dry grass and quickly surrounded me with a thick wall of fire and smoke until the bees were driven away. They remained with me, I later learned, looking after me for the next three hours until a doctor was found and brought.
13．When the air suddenly became thick with bees, ________.
A．it became cold
B．the writer went cold with fear
C．it was rather cold, though fine
D．the horse threw the writer to the ground
14．The writer tore the bees away ________.
A．in order to make room for other bees
B．but they flew away slowly
C．but other bees took the space again
D．in order to let his breath out
15．When the men building the house saw the bees they ran away quickly ________.
A．in order not to be attacked by the bees
B．to look for something to drive the bees away
C．to help the writer to cover his head and shoulders with soft things
D．because they were afraid of the writer
