Here, we look at some of the recent additions： Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture (Russia) A group of ancient structures in the city of Pskov make up Russia's newest UNESCO World Heritage Site. The structures, many of which are churches, all were designed by the Pskov School of Architecture. It was a leading school of building design in the country, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. Some elements common to Pskov architecture date back to the 11th century. Writing-on-Stone (Canada) Canada's Writing-on-Stone monument, known also as Aisinai'pi, has a large number of protected rock paintings and rock carvings. Some of them are 2000 years old. The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States. The land that makes up Writing-on-Stone is filled with rock columns that have been formed by erosion (侵蚀) into “spectacular shapes”． Babylon (Iraq) The ancient city of Babylon is gaining World Heritage Site status. The city was once a main tourist site before Iraq suffered several wars. The 4,300-year-old Babylon is where dynasties have risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilization. UNESCO says the site “offers a look into one of the most influential empires of the ancient world”． Paraty and Ilha Grande (Brazil) The historic coastal town of Paraty and the island Ilha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state. Now, they make up a newly named UNESCO site. Paraty was the final stop along the Gold Route, along which gold was shipped to Europe in the 1600s. The area is also home to a huge number of animals, some of which are threatened. 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了联合国教科文
