UNESCO Announces New World Heritage Sites
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, meets each year to choose the latest additions to its World Heritage list. The World Heritage Committee chooses sites based on historical and cultural importance, as well as their beauty. Here are some recent additions:
Babylon (Iraq)
The ancient city of Babylon is closely connected with one of the seven wonders of the ancient world — the Hanging Gardens. Now, the area is gaining World Heritage Site status. The city on the Euphrates River is about 85 kilometers south of Baghdad. The 4,300-year-old Babylon is where dynasties have risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilization.
Paraty and Ilha Grande (Brazil)
The historic coastal town of Paraty and the island Ilha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazirs 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.
Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City (China)
The ruins of Liangzhu represent an early state with a collective belief system based on rice growing, dating from 3300 to 2300 BCE. The site is made up of four areas along the Yangtze River Basin. The ruins, UNESCO says, are an “outstanding example of early urban civilization”. They include an ancient water system and social divisions represented in different kinds of burials.
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 2,000 years old. The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans, who live in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States. The Blackfoot people consider the area to be holy.

Friendships are very important to teenagers. Friendships provide teenagers with chances to develop social skills. Teenagers can learn how to end a fight and still remain friends. Friends provide fun and excitement for teenagers through games. Friends also give advice to one another. Teenagers talk through lots of problems with their friends. Friendships also provide help during times of difficulty. It is helpful for teenagers to have a friend who is going through the same situations.
What happens when youth don’t have friends? Teenagers without friends are usually more lonely and unhappy. They will have lower levels of grades and lower confidence. As they get older, they are more apt to drop out of school.
As kids move into their teenager years, friends and friendships play an important role in teenager life as a way of getting personal enjoyment and social learning.
Most teenagers will have friends who parents either like or dislike. However, it is important to keep in mind that one way teenagers can truly learn how to choose and keep friends is through personal experience, which is sure to have some mistakes. Parents should not be too hard on teenagers when they choose friends who are not good enough or when their friendship fails. Remember, every social experience helps teenagers to learn about different people and improve social skills.
As parents, it is important to encourage friendships among teenagers. However, it is important to know who your teenager’s friends are and to communicate openly about changes in friendships with your teenagers.
4. How many advantages of friends and friendship are mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
5. What does the underlined sentence probably mean?
A. They get better grades and leave school earlier.
B. They have a lower chance of leaving school earlier.
C. They have a higher chance of leaving school earlier.
D. They are good at dealing with social problems after school.
6. Who are the most possible readers of the passage?
A. Teachers. B. Teenagers.
C. Researchers. D. Parents.
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Friendship May Be Dangerous
B. Friendship Is Important to Teenagers

D. Parents’ Advice Is Important to Teenagers’ Friendship
C
Can you imagine an ancient and quiet place? Well this is Vicenza, my hometown. Every time I have the opportunity to speak about Vicenza with foreign people who do some sightseeing in Europe, I realize that it gets less credit than it deserves. Everybody knows Venice, Rome, and Florence very well, but only a few know the attraction of Vicenza.
Vicenza has to be taken into special consideration for the important historical buildings by Andrea Palladio, who was born in Padua (1508-1580), one of the most famous architects in the world. It was during the Renaissance and the next four hundred years in which Vicenza was under the protection of the Republic of Venice that the great structures were constructed, making Vicenza well-known throughout Europe and giving it the remarkable and distinctive appearance which it keeps today.
Apart from its historical district, Vicenza is surrounded by beautiful hills and countryside where you can spend time walking, sightseeing, and having delicious meals in the numerous restaurants which serve typical foods and good drinks. Moreover, in Vicenza’s countryside there are splendid villas. This is where many Venetians used to spend their summers, farming their land during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Vicenza is a must-see for people fond of historical works. In addition, there are jazz and classical music concerts, ballets, and theatre performances, mostly during the autumn. It may be that young people feel Vicenza is not a place where they can have fun, but there are also pizzerias and pubs where contemporary music is performed, so they can have a good time there, too. Everyone needs to come to Vicenza to get to know it. They will see and touch the contributions to beauty that it made to the world.
8. When it comes to Vicenza, the author thinks _______.
A. it is actually well worth visiting B. it lives up to its reputation
C. just a few people really like it D. foreign visitors are pulled in by it
9. What causes Vicenza’s uniqueness?
A. Influence of the Renaissance. B. Surrounding hills and countryside.
C. Protection from the Republic of Venice. D. Buildings designed by Andrea Palladio.
10. Who might take great interest in Vicenza?
A. Those enjoying living a modern life. B. Those having a preference for fashion.
C. Those showing enthusiasm for art. D. Those wanting to learn about farming.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Vicenza: a city of unexpected beauty B. The Renaissance: foundation of Vicenza
C. What do foreign people think of Vicenza? D. Why is Vicenza attractive to young people?
D
Kevin Randall, a teacher,who teaches biology at Grandville High School,runs the environmental club at the high school,which has around 2,000 students.The club is known as the GHS Green Team,and it aims to raise awareness among students and teachers about sustainability(持续性).It also works on projects to reduce the environmental footprint of the building itself.
One of the club's recent projects focused on reducing waste in the school cafeteria.Randall said their cafeteria supervisor told them that the school went through 54,000 plastic forks every year.The club applied for a financial help,built recycling centers for the cafeteria,and purchased metal silverware.
And now every student uses a durable metal fork or a spoon instead of disposables.(一次性用品),“and that's just one way we're trying to capture the low-hanging fruit,if you will,"Randall said.
The efforts of Randall and his students have earned Grandville High School the Michigan Green School certification from the state.In addition to their work reducing waste in the cafeteria, the GHS Green Team has also built a garden with flowers and vegetables on campus,and leads cleanups on site and out in the community.Over the years,Randall and his students have also been working on raising money to install solar panels(太阳能板) on the roof of the high school.
Randall said he was motivated to take the lead on environmental issues for his school because he wanted his students to have someone to turn to in the building who understands what's at stake(利害攸关)when it comes to climate change.
"And I also felt like I needed to do more in my life for my own two children at home" Randall added,"They need to know that their dad is working as hard as he can to reduce the effects of climate change,and to spread the word,and to make sure that other students out there are learning about this just the way they are at home."
12. What is the purpose of the GHS Green Team club?
A. To inspire students' love for biology.
B. To finish the projects assigned by school.
C. To prepare students for their future jobs.
D. To promote environmental protection.
13. What's the result of the project on school cafeteria?
A. It has changed the outlook of the cafeteria.
B. Students can have more fruits in the cafeteria.
C. Plastic forks are no longer used in the cafeteria.
D. The school has become famous nationwide.
14. What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The classification of the projects.
B. The characteristics of the club.
C. The activities organized by the club.
D The future of the club.
15. What was Randall's aim by doing the work on environmental issues?.
A. To educate the young.
B. To get material rewards.
C. To amuse his children.
D. To make himself famous.

The Rainy-Day Picnic
It was Saturday, and Adam was wide awake. The house was quiet, so he knew his parents were still sleeping. His mother had promised that they would go on a picnic in the park today. He had been looking forward to it all week. They would have yummy food to eat at the picnic. They would play catch and maybe fly a kite if the wind was strong. Adam thought maybe he should wake his parents up now.
However, it still looked dark outside. Usually by now the sun was shining through the windows. Maybe it was cloudy, Adam thought. He went to his parents’ room and climbed onto their bed.
“Hello!” said Adam, cheerfully. “It’s time to get up!” His mother yawned, rubbing her eyes. “Hi,” he whispered. “It’s too early. Let’s go back to sleep.” “But it’s morning. And you promised a picnic today!’ “Ugh,” said Mother. “I nearly forget it. Okay, let’s get up.”
The small boy followed her downstairs. His mother went to the glass door that led to the backyard. “It’s raining!” She turned to her son. “Adam, it’s raining. We can’t go on a picnic today.”
Adam’s lip began to shake. His eyes got misty. He sat down on the floor and held his chin (下巴) in his hands. This was not the news he wanted to hear.
“I’m sorry,” said his mother. “Let’s get some snacks and watch some cartoons for a while.” They sat together on the couch. They snuggled (依偎),and it was cozy. Half an hour later, his father listened to the bad news about the rain and the picnic. “Hmm,” he said. “Rain might spoil a picnic in the park, but it can also be fun sometimes. ”He finished his coffee and asked Adam to go find his raincoat and rubber boots. “Let’s go for a walk.”

Friendships are very important to teenagers. Friendships provide teenagers with chances to develop social skills. Teenagers can learn how to end a fight and still remain friends. Friends provide fun and excitement for teenagers through games. Friends also give advice to one another. Teenagers talk through lots of problems with their friends. Friendships also provide help during times of difficulty. It is helpful for teenagers to have a friend who is going through the same situations.
What happens when youth don’t have friends? Teenagers without friends are usually more lonely and unhappy. They will have lower levels of grades and lower confidence. As they get older, they are more apt to drop out of school.
As kids move into their teenager years, friends and friendships play an important role in teenager life as a way of getting personal enjoyment and social learning.
Most teenagers will have friends who parents either like or dislike. However, it is important to keep in mind that one way teenagers can truly learn how to choose and keep friends is through personal experience, which is sure to have some mistakes. Parents should not be too hard on teenagers when they choose friends who are not good enough or when their friendship fails. Remember, every social experience helps teenagers to learn about different people and improve social skills.
As parents, it is important to encourage friendships among teenagers. However, it is important to know who your teenager’s friends are and to communicate openly about changes in friendships with your teenagers.

【分析】这是一篇议论文。朋友和友谊对青少年来说非常重要。青少年在交友过程中可能会犯错误,但是家长不要太苛刻,因为通过这些交友经历,青少年的社交能力能得到锻炼。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,该段列出了四个有关朋友和友谊的益处,分别是:“Friendships provide teenagers with chances to develop social skills.”(友谊为青少年提供了培养社会技能的机会);“Friends provide fun and excitement for teenagers through games.”(朋友通过游戏提供了趣味和刺激);“Friends also give advice to one another.”(朋友也相互给建议)“Friendships also provide help during times of difficulty.”(在困难时,友情可以提供帮助)。故选B。

词句猜测题。根据本段内容可知,第二段主要从反面论证朋友的重要性。前一句“Teenagers without friends are usually more lonely and unhappy. They will have lower levels of grades and lower confidence.”提到如果没有朋友,青少年的学习成绩会不好,自信心会不足。由此可知,画线句子继续论证没有朋友的坏处。结合上下文推知,划线部分的意思是“是指青少年更容易辍学。”故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第三句“Parents should not be too hard on teenagers when they choose friends who are not good enough or when their friendship fails.”(当他们选择的朋友不够好,或者他们友谊失败时,父母不应该对青少年太苛刻)以及最后一段第一句“As parents, it is important to encourage friendships among teenagers.”(作为父母,鼓励青少年之间的友谊是很重要的)可推知,本文主要是向家长介绍朋友对青少年的重要性。故选D。

Can you imagine an ancient and quiet place? Well, this is Vicenza, my hometown. Every time I have the opportunity to speak about Vicenza with foreign people who do some sightseeing in Europe, I realize that it gets less credit than it deserves. Everybody knows Venice, Rome, and Florence very well, but only a few know the attraction of Vicenza.
Vicenza has to be taken into special consideration for the important historical buildings by Andrea Palladio, who was born in Padua (1508-1580), one of the most famous architects in the world. It was during the Renaissance and the next four hundred years in which Vicenza was under the protection of the Republic of Venice that the great structures were constructed, making Vicenza well-known throughout Europe and giving it the remarkable and distinctive appearance which it keeps today.
Apart from its historical district, Vicenza is surrounded by beautiful hills and countryside where you can spend time walking, sightseeing, and having delicious meals in the numerous restaurants which serve typical foods and good drinks. Moreover, in Vicenza’s countryside there are splendid villas. This is where many Venetians used to spend their summers, farming their land during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Vicenza is a must-see for people fond of historical works. In addition, there are jazz and classical music concerts, ballets, and theatre performances, mostly during the autumn. It may be that young people feel Vicenza is not a place where they can have fun, but there are also pizzerias and pubs where contemporary music is performed, so they can have a good time there, too. Everyone needs to come to Vicenza to get to know it. They will see and touch the contributions to beauty that it made to the world.
8. When it comes to Vicenza, the author thinks _______.
A. it is actually well worth visiting B. it lives up to its reputation
C. just a few people really like it D. foreign visitors are pulled in by it
9. What causes Vicenza’s uniqueness?
A. Influence of the Renaissance. B. Surrounding hills and countryside.
C. Protection from the Republic of Venice. D. Buildings designed by Andrea Palladio.
10. Who might take great interest in Vicenza?
A. Those enjoying living a modern life. B. Those having a preference for fashion.
C. Those showing enthusiasm for art. D. Those wanting to learn about farming.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Vicenza: a city of unexpected beauty B. The Renaissance: foundation of Vicenza
C. What do foreign people think of Vicenza? D. Why is Vicenza attractive to young people?
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. A

They will see and touch the contributions to beauty that it made to the world.(每个人都需要到维琴察来了解它。他们会看到和触摸到它对世界美的贡献)”可推知,谈到维琴察,作者认为它实际上很值得一游。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Vicenza has to be taken into special consideration for the important historical buildings by Andrea Palladio, who was born in Padua (1508-1580), one of the most famous architects in the world. It was during the Renaissance and the next four hundred years in which Vicenza was under the protection of the Republic of Venice that the great structures were constructed, making Vicenza well-known throughout Europe and giving it the remarkable and distinctive appearance which it keeps today.( 维琴察因世界上最著名的建筑师之一,出生于帕多瓦的安德里亚·帕拉迪奥的重要历史建筑而被认为是一种特别的存在。正是在文艺复兴时期以及维琴察在威尼斯共和国的保护下的四百年中,这些伟大的建筑被建造起来,使维琴察在整个欧洲都很出名,并使它保持了今天的显著和独特的外观。)”可知,是安德里亚·帕拉迪奥设计的建筑赋予了维琴察的独特性。故选D。

Kevin Randall, a teacher,who teaches biology at Grandville High School,runs the environmental club at the high school,which has around 2,000 students.The club is known as the GHS Green Team,and it aims to raise awareness among students and teachers about sustainability(持续性).It also works on projects to reduce the environmental footprint of the building itself.
One of the club's recent projects focused on reducing waste in the school cafeteria.Randall said their cafeteria supervisor told them that the school went through 54,000 plastic forks every year.The club applied for a financial help,built recycling centers for the cafeteria,and purchased metal silverware.
And now every student uses a durable metal fork or a spoon instead of disposables.(一次性用品),“and that's just one way we're trying to capture the low-hanging fruit,if you will,"Randall said.
The efforts of Randall and his students have earned Grandville High School the Michigan Green School certification from the state.In addition to their work reducing waste in the cafeteria, the GHS Green Team has also built a garden with flowers and vegetables on campus,and leads cleanups on site and out in the community.Over the years,Randall and his students have also been working on raising money to install solar panels(太阳能板) on the roof of the high school.
Randall said he was motivated to take the lead on environmental issues for his school because he wanted his students to have someone to turn to in the building who understands what's at stake(利害攸关)when it comes to climate change.
"And I also felt like I needed to do more in my life for my own two children at home," Randall added,"They need to know that their dad is working as hard as he can to reduce the effects of climate change,and to spread the word,and to make sure that other students out there are learning about this just the way they are at home."
12. What is the purpose of the GHS Green Team club?
A. To inspire students' love for biology.
B. To finish the projects assigned by school.
C. To prepare students for their future jobs.
D. To promote environmental protection.
13. What's the result of the project on school cafeteria?
A. It has changed the outlook of the cafeteria.
B. Students can have more fruits in the cafeteria.
C. Plastic forks are no longer used in the cafeteria.
D. The school has become famous nationwide.
14. What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The classification of the projects.
B. The characteristics of the club.
C. The activities organized by the club.
D. The future of the club.
15. What was Randall's aim by doing the work on environmental issues?.

【答案】Dear Mr. Wang,
I’m Li Hua, and have learned you are looking for an assistant to serve the visiting Americans.
I want to apply to you for this chance. I’m out going and I’m always ready to help others. I’m friendly and easy to get along with. I once took part in the English speech competition held in our school and I won first prize. Because of my fluent spoken English I can communicate with foreigners without difficulty. I like watching American movies, so I’m familiar with American culture.
I will appreciate it if you take my application into consideration and offer me this job.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

The Rainy-Day Picnic
It was Saturday, and Adam was wide awake. The house was quiet, so he knew his parents were still sleeping. His mother had promised that they would go on a picnic in the park today. He had been looking forward to it all week. They would have yummy food to eat at the picnic. They would play catch and maybe fly a kite if the wind was strong. Adam thought maybe he should wake his parents up now.
However, it still looked dark outside. Usually by now the sun was shining through the windows. Maybe it was cloudy, Adam thought. He went to his parents’ room and climbed onto their bed.
“Hello!” said Adam, cheerfully. “It’s time to get up!” His mother yawned, rubbing her eyes. “Hi,” he whispered. “It’s too early. Let’s go back to sleep.” “But it’s morning. And you promised a picnic today!’ “Ugh,” said Mother. “I nearly forget it. Okay, let’s get up.”
The small boy followed her downstairs. His mother went to the glass door that led to the backyard. “It’s raining!” She turned to her son. “Adam, it’s raining. We can’t go on a picnic today.”
Adam’s lip began to shake. His eyes got misty. He sat down on the floor and held his chin (下巴) in his hands. This was not the news he wanted to hear.
“I’m sorry,” said his mother. “Let’s get some snacks and watch some cartoons for a while.” They sat together on the couch. They snuggled (依偎),and it was cozy. Half an hour later, his father listened to the bad news about the rain and the picnic. “Hmm,” he said. “Rain might spoil a picnic in the park, but it can also be fun sometimes. ”He finished his coffee and asked Adam to go find his raincoat and rubber boots. “Let’s go for a walk.”

【答案】After putting on his yellow boots and rain coat, he followed his father into the rain. As they walked, they talked about the basketball game at school last week. Father praised Adam’s excellent performance, telling him that his teamwork and hustle on the court had been truly inspiring. Although the sky was still full of dark clouds, Adam was happy. He felt a sense of accomplishment, knowing that his hard work had paid off. Listening to the rain patter on the ground and chatting about interesting things, Adam thought it would be good to go out like this on a rainy day. The cool air and the sound of raindrops created a unique ambiance that he found quite calming.
When they came back in wet and happy, Adam’s mother said she had a surprise for them. Her eyes twinkled with mischief as she gestured for them to follow her. Following his mother, they came to the garden. Although it was raining, the space under the grapevine was dry, protected by the vine’s leaves. Mom had set up a small picnic area, with a mat spread out on the ground and filled with Adam’s favorite snacks. “Let’s start the picnic,” mom said with a smile, her voice filled with warmth. This was really a piece of good news. Adam had never expected a rainy day to turn into such a fun and unexpected adventure. He felt grateful for his parents’ thoughtfulness and for the opportunity to spend quality time together, despite the weather.
