(2024·安徽安庆二中高三模拟)The UNESCO World Heritage List is a prestigious honour awarded to sites of outstanding universal value around the world. Did you know there are 1,157 UNESCO World Heritage Sites spanning across 167 countries? We've picked out our top 4 for you to visit below.
The Acropolis,Greece
The Acropolis is an ancient castle that stands proud in the Greek city of Athens. Back in the fifth century BCE after battle with the Persians,the plans of Pericles came to life under the influence of Pheidias,the sculptor. It then became a place for thought and art to flourish,where symbols of classical spirit and civilisation came alive.
Historic centre of Rome,Italy
According to Roman mythology,the Eternal City was founded in 753 BCE and became the capital of the mighty Roman Empire. Rome is home to a number of attractions including the Forum,the Pantheon and the Colosseum! This World Heritage site contains the whole historic centre within the city walls and reflects the influence of the Renaissance and Baroque periods in making it one of Italy's most popular cities.
Ayutthaya Historical Park,Thailand
The historic city of Ayutthaya in Thailand was founded around 1350 and was subsequently destroyed in the 18th century by the Burmese. What's left today is the ruins and some key highlights include the Buddhist temples of Wat Ratchaburana,Wat Mahathat and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet. The area is home to the remains of tall prang (reliquary towers) and should not be missed.
Cultural landscape of Bali,Indonesia
The landscape in Bali is unlike anything else on Earth. Consisting of five rice terraces (梯田) and water temples covering 19,500 hectares,the cultural landscape takes your breath away. This site gains honour through an ancient farming ceremony dating back to the 9th century known as subak. This concept reflects the spirit,the human world and nature,also known as Tri Hita Karana.

(2024·山东潍坊高三上学期联考)You might think of it as a scene from martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river,all standing on a bamboo strip,but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产): bamboo drifting.
Over 2,000 years ago,the highquality wood,nanmu,in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no better transportation,people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later,local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty,wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act,bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2021.
Yang Liu,an inheritor of bamboo drifting,learned it at seven.“Usually,the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long,and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough,it will not be buoyant (有浮力的) enough to float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key,so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing. Once I fell,I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part,” she said.
The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 18 years,she has drifted all year round,in cold winter and hot summer. As hanfu culture has been on the rise,Yang started wearing hanfu while performing,creating a more beautiful scene. In 2020,Yang began to post her videos on social media.“I'm extremely proud to get responses from viewers that bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It's my mission to keep it alive and known to more people,” Yang Liu says.
4.What can be learned from the first two paragraphs?
A.Bamboo drifting involves lots of skills.
B.Nanmu was delivered to the north by land.
C.Bamboo was costly in Guizhou 2,000 years ago.
D.The martial arts movie is a form of cultural heritage.
5.What is the biggest challenge in bamboo drifting?
A.Keeping balance.
B.Maintaining a fixed angle.
C.Finding the proper bamboo.
D.Holding the bamboo firmly in hands.
6.What do the viewers think of bamboo drifting?
A.Impossible. B.Confusing.
C.Unbelievable. D.Complicated.
7.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Balancing with Grace
B.Yang Liu: a Creative Performer
C.Transporting Bamboo down the River
D.Intangible Cultural Heritage in Guizhou
