If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments. And of course,many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL)(世界遗产名录). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let's look at a few of them.
Robben Island in South Africa
This island was used through the centuries as a prison,a hospital and a military base. But it's probably most famous as a maximum?security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents “the victory of democracy (民主) and freedom over oppression and racism (种族主义)”.
Borders of France and Spain
This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.
The city of Brasilia ,Brazil
Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it 揳 landmark in the history of town planning. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect(建筑师).
Simien National Park ,Ethiopia
Simien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978. It is one of the highest mountain areas in Africa,and the WHL calls it “one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world”. It is also important for its wildlife. The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.
21.The passage mainly talks about ________.
A.the remains of ancient cultures on the WHL
B.the household heritage sites on the WHL
C.some of the not so obvious sites on the WHL
D.places of artistic or cultural importance
22.The WHL has listed Borders of France and Spain probably because ________.

D.people there still use a type of agriculture that is common in Europe in modern times
23.Which of the following sites was listed on the WHL for its political symbol?

American Mark Hough lives near Los Angeles, California. He was just about to start his weekend with an alcoholic drink called a margarita and a dip in his hot tub when he heard sticks breaking and leaves moving in his backyard. At first, he thought the sounds were coming from his neighbor. But then, the noise grew louder.揝o I got up, looked over in the bushes and there was a bear climbing up over my fence,” Hough said.
After seeing the bear, Hough decided to go back into his home for safety reasons. When Hough looked outside a short time later, the bear had made himself at home in Hough's backyard. The bear had entered Hough's unheated hot tub.
“He was playing, having a grand old time,” Hough said. He found his phone and began recording video of the bear's activities.
After a few minutes of pool time, the bear got out and walked slowly around the yard. Then it made its way over to Hough's margarita. The bear pushed the drink over and drank it off the ground.
Later in the day, Hough was talking to a neighbour when some tree leaves fell to the ground. Hough looked up to see the bear sleeping in the tree. 揝o he had his margarita, and now he's ready for an hour nap,” Hough said.
Hough's video of the bear's relaxing afternoon has been a hit on social media. One Twitter user said the bear is “clearly having a better summer than you”. Other users called the bear a “summer hero”. One called it her“spirit animal”. And one local news station in Iowa suggested the bear's activities would be a great way to celebrate America's Independence Day.
24.Why did Mark Hough decide to return to his home?
A.To avoid being attacked.
B.To record a video.
C.To have a drink.
D.To call the local news station.

B.Hough's neighbor.
C.One Twitter user.
D.A reporter in a local news station.
26.Where was the bear found finally that day?

The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City (《我在故宫修文物》) does not just focus on the stories of the past. Instead, the documentary film, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary people-the restorers (《做修复工作的人》) of relics and antiquities (古董).
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers' work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time璫onsuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers' patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
揑f you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship (工艺) in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for precision and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance (忍耐力), loneliness...All these qualities come from the‘craftsman spirit ’.”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, 揟he last person to do this was Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing dynasty.
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved many people's ideas about antique restorers wrong, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
28.According to the text, what's the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City?
A.To show people how antiques are restored.
B.To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.
C.To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers' lives.
D.To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.
29.According to Wang Jin, we can learn that ________.
A.he often gets tired of his work
B.there is no need to do restoration work fast
C.antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful
D.it takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration
30.The underlined word “humdrum” probably means ________.
A.boring B.different
C.relaxing D.unusual
31.The bicycle?riding scene in the documentary is used to ________.
A.remind the audience of the last Qing emperor
B.show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers
C.encourage the young consider a career in antique restoration in the future
D.break the old, dull image of antique restorers
D
A new study shows that rising levels of planet?warming gases may reduce important nutrients (营养物) in food crops.
Researchers studied the effects of carbon dioxide on rice. In the experiment, scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan. They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century. Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein (蛋白质). The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions. However, vitamin E levels increased by about 13 percent on average.
The researchers said the effects of planet?warming gases would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries. These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets. That includes about 600 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Laos and other nations, mainly in Southeast Asia.
Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production. And scientists are finding that rising levels of carbon dioxide and other planet瓀arming gases threaten food quality.
Earlier studies showed that wheat, rice, field peas and soybeans grown under high carbon dioxide conditions all had lower levels of protein and minerals. Scientists predicted that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zinc in their diet by 2050.
The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change. That is to grow different forms of rice that can adapt to higher carbon dioxide levels.
32.Growing rice under high carbon dioxide conditions may ________.
A.increase iron in the rice B.make it less nutritious
C.cause losses of vitamin E D.make it more delicious
33.How can people reduce the nutritional harm of climate change?
A.By importing rice from China and Japan.
B.By taking other kinds of food instead of rice.
C.By avoiding eating rice from Southeast Asia.
D.By growing rice suitable for the environment.
34.What's the author's purpose of writing the text?
A.To inform readers what nutrients food crops contain.
B.To call on people to care for the planet they live on.
C.To share the results of some studies on people's diets.
D.To tell readers where food crops are mainly produced.
35.In which part of a magazine can you read the text?
A.Advertisements. B.Art and culture.
C.Science reports. D.Business news.

It was raining pretty hard on Halloween,_but that wasn't going to stop my little sister Kate and me from trick?or?treating. We decided to start at Miss_Parson's house. Miss Parson was loved by us kids who lived nearby because she often shared her self?made cookies with us. We usually finished them in a second, especially when we were hungry after class. Sometimes, when we visited her or did something for her, she always gave us surprise.
Kate and I wondered what kinds of treats she'd offer. As we walked down the street, I held an umbrella, and my sister's hand, a bag for candy. Jack?o'?lanterns gave soft light along the street. Spider webs hung in all the windows. Parents who were dressed up like monsters (怪物) stood in doorways. After we had walked a few blocks, we were wet from head to toes, and I felt Kate was trembling with cold.
There was a light on at Miss Parson's house, but there were no ghosts, goblins(小妖精), or Jack?o'?lanterns. We climbed up the steps and saw Miss Parson through a window. She was drinking a cup of hot tea.
“Maybe she doesn't celebrate Halloween,” Kate said with a sigh, disappointedly.
“Well, even if she doesn't, she usually likes it when we visit her,” I said and knocked on the door.
Miss Parson seemed surprised when she opened it and saw our dressing. “Is today Halloween?” she asked. “I completely forgot. I am so sorry !”

The tour tomorrow starts at 10:00 am and lasts about eight hours. I suggest you bring an umbrella as it is said that it is likely to rain. And wear comfortable walking shoes if you can. Don't forget your camera as there will be lots of opportunities to take pictures. We'll visit St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. There are morning services in St Paul's Cathedral, so please be very quiet when we are there. By the way, Peter is a history expert. So, if any of you are interested in historical facts, I suggest that you ask to join his group. If you are interested in learning more about the amazing city, there is a guide book on sale in the hotel. It costs £2.50. I hope you will enjoy the tour. See you all tomorrow morning! Try not to be late!

Paragraph 1:
Miss Parson rushed us into her house. “It's cold out here,” she said. My sister's face was shining from the rain and Miss_Parson dried her cheeks. “Thank you,” Kate said. “Trick or treat?”
“Oh,right! Treats,” said Miss Parson in surprise. Then she disappeared for a moment and came back with a big smile on her face. “Open those bags wide,” she said. She dropped two boxes of cocoa (可可) into our bags. “Winter is just around the corner,” she said. “Some hot cocoa will keep you warm.”
“Thank you,” we both said. “Happy Halloween!”
Paragraph 2:
The next morning, a hot and sweet discussion about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among us kids. We told Mom about how Miss Parson had forgotten Halloween and about what she had given to us and the other kids. “It sounds as if nobody was very upset,even though she forgot Halloween,” said Mom. “No,we were happy,” I said. “Although she didn't give us candy,_it was kind of fun for us all to get something different for a change. I hope it will become a Halloween tradition to give out unusual treats.”
