It is described as the northernmost Caribbean city and the westernmost European city. You will not find another place quite like it in the world. What is the best way to get there? Flying: Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is the city’s main airport, where you can keep the good times rolling by appreciating some live entertainment while you wait for your flight. Train: New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal (终点站) is a major American railroad center, with three train lines offering service to every big city. Bus: Three major bus companies in the United States all offer service to the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. How to enter New Orleans legally? If you are a non-U. S. citizen, you may need a visa to visit New Orleans, unless your country is part of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), such as Japan, France and 41 other countries. The program allows citizens of certain countries to visit the U. S. for up to 90 days without a visa. When is the best time to visit? The best time in New Orleans is in February and lasts until May. During this period there is also the Carnival season and the world-famous Carnival celebrations. The average daily temperatures this time of year typically hit high s of 22℃, with lows dropping to 7℃. If you’re looking to avoid the crazy prices, choose to visit in winter when hotels are cheaper, and you won’t experience the summer’s heat or worry about autumn’s possible hurricanes. How much do I tip? Restaurant service: Standard tipping in New Orleans is 15 to 20 percent of your bill or 25 percent if you are extremely happy with your meal and service. Housekeeping: It’s common to leave a tip of $2 per day of your stay to the housekeeping staff of your hotel, which you can leave in the room when you go. Some hotels leave envelopes for such tips, but if they don’t, a quick note saying “Thank you” will work. Are there local customs I should know? Drinking: The legal drinking age in New Orleans is 21. You can consume alcohol on the streets of The Big Easy as long as it’s not in a glass container. Some places even allow you to bring drinks in from other places. In addition, some bars are open 24 hours. Greetings: If you’re asked, “Where y’at?” by a local, don’t give your location. They’re actually asking how you are or what’s going on. 1. According to the passage, what are you most likely to do while waiting for a flight in MSY? A. You will watch a live show. B. You will buy some food to eat. C. You will provide tips to airport staff. D. You will appreciate pop music on your phone. 2. What can we learn from the part of ‘When is the best time to visit’? A. The world-famous Carnival celebrations maybe are held in July. B. If you’re looking to avoid hurricanes, choose to visit in autumn. C. The average daily temperatures all year is 22 Celsius to 7 Celsius. D.

You need to answer where you live. C. You need to answer how you are today. D. You need to answer what you drank today. B The Wild Atlantic Way has a certain romantic attraction, bringing to mind images of violent storms, terrible winds and driving rain. The Irish Republic inaugurated (为……举行仪式) this, “the longest defined coastal touring route in the world”, in 2014, an excellent marketing idea. The Wild Atlantic Way follows the west coast of Ireland, from the Inishowen Peninsula in the north down to the picturesque town of Kinsale, County Cork, in the south. Having recently retired, and also having a very supportive wife, I decided to cycle the 2,600 kilometres of this highway, and to seek some sponsorship while doing so for the benefit of a small, but hugely effective charity supporting Children of the Dump in Manila in the Philippines. Another reason to start this cycle tour was the polite refusal of my youngest son to my request to accompany him, and his friend, on their journey in 2016 from Lima in Peru to Ushuaiain Patagonia by bike. He was probably quite right to have done so. The Donegal hills were enough to tire me out in the first week of my own adventure; the Andes might have finished me off a longtime before I had the opportunity to wheel my bike from the Holyhead to Dublin ferry (渡口) at the beginning of May this year. Having begun the journey in suitably cold and wet conditions in Donegal, my luck and that of the rest of Ireland changed quite suddenly, and to the amazement of the whole country, they and I enjoyed some of the finest May and June weather on record. The “Wild Atlantic Way” became the “Kind Atlantic Way”, and I got sunburnt! It was a remarkable and unforgettable journey for me. Generous friends have helped me raise £2,600, one pound for each kilometer I rode. Try it yourselves, but do it the green way and leave the car at home. Pump up (给……打气) your bike tyres and give it, or at least some of the route, a go. You won’t regret it. 4. What do we know about the Wild Atlantic Way from paragraph 1? A. It starts at Kinsale in County Cork. B. It is a famous cross-Europe touring route. C. It used to be extremely popular with sea divers. D. It was promoted by the Irish Republic government. 5. Why did the author go cycling? A. To join his wife. B. To raise money for a charity. C. To work out for his health. D. To find sponsorship for his company. 6. How might the author feel about his son’s refusal later? A. Lucky. B. Angry. C. Excited. D. Disappointed. 7. What happened during the author’s journey? A. He stopped halfway. B. He was badly injured. C He got many flat tyres. D. He had quite a few sunny days. C Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists who have studied the recordings of sound recorded with equipment placed underwater recently reported their observations that the ocean is getting noisier. Another report on the effect of noise from ships on the behavior of whales shows it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The whales find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises, loud engine noise could be interfering with (妨碍) their efforts. Michael Jasny, a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council, says the rise of underwriter noise is influencing the ability of whales to communicate. “Shipping noise falls across the sea frequencies (频率) that these animals use for their important behaviors.” Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales that he is worried about. “The entire web of life in the ocean depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it’s been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a significant serious and global problem. The main source of noise pollution is the propeller (螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and ship designs can help cut down on noise pollution. Michael Bahtiarian, who works for Noise Control Engineering — a company which helped design the boats — said, “The technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the military for some time. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has four new ships that have such costly engines, which produce less noise. These NOAA ships show that you can get quiet — I think they’re quiet enough — because they are able to go up quietly and count a fish and not startle the fish so that they can actually count them.” The shipping industry in the United States wants to be part of the solution to the noise problem, Kathy Metcalf, who works for the Chamber of Shipping of America, says it will be much less costly for the industry if it chooses to build quieter ships instead of being forced to do so. 8 What kind of effect do you think the noise made by ships has according to the passage? A. It is sure to get stronger in the future. B It influences the normal life of whales. C. It makes underwater equipment unable to work normally. D. It makes it hard for scientists to track the activities of deep sea creatures. 9. What does Mr. Jasny want to express? A. Whales’ skill in finding food gets hurt most. B. There is no better way of solving the problem. C. The problem is far more serious than we thought. D. The frequencies of shipping noise should be increased. 10. What does the underlined word “startle” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Frighten. B. Catch. C. Dive. D. Feed. 11. What can we infer from the passage? A. Quieter ships have been designed to save money. B. The shipping industry should make quieter ships actively. C. The shipping designers are ordered to build quieter ships. D. The four new ships are the most advanced ships in the ocean. D In 1240, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II built Castel del Monte on a lonely hill in central Puglia, where he had a perfect view of approaching enemies. He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. Officially, UNESCO honors places that exemplify an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources —human and natural—upon which the industry is ultimately built”. There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless — or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these site s became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. 12. What can we learn about Castel del Monte? A. It was built to enjoy the view. B. It has become a hot tourist spot. C. It has to make way for a shopping mall. D. It failed to win UNESCO designation in 1996. 13. Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cuss” in paragraph 2? A. Solution. B. Promise. C. Drawback. D. Chance. 14. How does the author support King’s words in the last paragraph? A. By quoting experts. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Is UNESCO Helpful in Driving Global Tourism? B. How Can a Place Be Included in the UNESCO List? C. Why Is It Important to Market World Heritage Site Tours? D. Does Identifying World Heritage Sites Do More Harm Than Good? 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of the keys to doing well in school is staying positive.

This, of course, is not necessarily true. In Hawaiian culture, aloha has many meanings. First, it is a greeting. However, it is also an expression of love and friendship. One man was a living example of “aloha”, for he had a story to unfold. Amanda was shopping with her young son, and she was absorbed in picking up their groceries for their family reunion. She was in such a hurry that she even forgot her wallet in the shopping cart, which contained her driver license, credit cards, plenty of cash, and even a gift card that could easily be redeemed (兑换) by anyone . It was not until she arrived home that she found her wallet gone. The woman returned to the supermarket, and started her search for the lost wallet by watching hours and hours of security footage in the supermarket. After turning to several different cameras around the store, but in vain, she completely gave up hope. Andy Jose was a security guard at the World supermarket. He moved to Maui 5 years ago, and worked as a security guard at the grocery store to support the family and put himself through college. He rode his bike to work and school every day because he didn’t have a car. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右： 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Para .1: He was busy collecting the shopping carts when something caught his eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2: Amanda and her husband decided to do something big to show their gratitude . ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度下学期期中考试高一试题 英语 考试时间：120分钟 分数：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The Irish Republic inaugurated (为……举行仪式) this, “the longest defined coastal touring route in the world”, in 2014, an excellent marketing idea. The Wild Atlantic Way follows the west coast of Ireland, from the Inishowen Peninsula in the north down to the picturesque town of Kinsale, County Cork, in the south. Having recently retired, and also having a very supportive wife, I decided to cycle the 2,600 kilometres of this highway, and to seek some sponsorship while doing so for the benefit of a small, but hugely effective charity supporting Children of the Dump in Manila in the Philippines. Another reason to start this cycle tour was the polite refusal of my youngest son to my request to accompany him, and his friend, on their journey in 2016 from Lima in Peru to Ushuaiain Patagonia by bike. He was probably quite right to have done so. The Donegal hills were enough to tire me out in the first week of my own adventure; the Andes might have finished me off a longtime before I had the opportunity to wheel my bike from the Holyhead to Dublin ferry (渡口) at the beginning of May this year. Having begun the journey in suitably cold and wet conditions in Donegal, my luck and that of the rest of Ireland changed quite suddenly, and to the amazement of the whole country, they and I enjoyed some of the finest May and June weather on record. The “Wild Atlantic Way” became the “Kind Atlantic Way”, and I got sunburnt! It was a remarkable and unforgettable journey for me. Generous friends have helped me raise £2,600, one pound for each kilometer I rode. Try it yourselves, but do it the green way and leave the car at home. Pump up (给……打气) your bike tyres and give it, or at least some of the route, a go. You won’t regret it. 4. What do we know about the Wild Atlantic Way from paragraph 1? A. It starts at Kinsale in County Cork. B. It is a famous cross-Europe touring route. C. It used to be extremely popular with sea divers. D. It was promoted by the Irish Republic government. 5. Why did the author go cycling? A. To join his wife. B. To raise money for a charity. C. To work out for his health. D. To find sponsorship for his company. 6. How might the author feel about his son’s refusal later? A. Lucky. B. Angry. C. Excited. D. Disappointed. 7. What happened during the author’s journey? A. He stopped halfway. B. He was badly injured. C. He got many flat tyres. D. He had quite a few sunny days. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7.

(2014年，爱尔兰共和国开通了这条“世界上最长的海岸旅游路线”，这是一个极好的营销理念。)”可知，野生大西洋之路是由爱尔兰共和国政府推动的。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Having recently retired, and also having a very supportive wife, I decided to cycle the 2,600 kilometres of this highway, and to seek some sponsorship while doing so for the benefit of a small, but hugely effective charity supporting Children of the Dump in Manila in the Philippines. (我刚刚退休，还有一个非常支持我的妻子，我决定在这条高速公路上骑行2600公里，并在这样做的同时寻求一些赞助，以支持菲律宾马尼拉的一个小型但非常有效的慈善机构儿童垃圾场。)”以及倒数第二段“Generous friends have helped me raise £2,600, one pound for each kilometer I rode. (慷慨的朋友们帮我筹集了2600英镑，每骑一公里就赚一英镑。)”可知，作者希望通过骑行筹集善款做公益。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He was probably quite right to have done so. The Donegal hills were enough to tire me out in the first week of my own adventure; the Andes might have finished me off a longtime before I had the opportunity to wheel my bike from the Holyhead to Dublin ferry (渡口) at the beginning of May this year. (他这样做很可能是对的。多尼戈尔山足以让我在冒险的第一个星期就筋疲力尽；今年5月初，在我有机会骑着自行车从霍利黑德到都柏林的渡轮之前，安第斯山脉可能早就把我给毁了。)”可推知，作者后来应该很庆幸儿子当时拒绝他同行的请求。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Having begun the journey in suitably cold and wet conditions in Donegal, my luck and that of the rest of Ireland changed quite suddenly, and to the amazement of the whole country, they and I enjoyed some of the finest May and June weather on record. (在多尼戈尔开始了寒冷潮湿的旅程后，我和爱尔兰其他地方的人的运气突然发生了变化，令整个国家感到惊讶的是，他们和我享受了有史以来最好的5月和6月的天气。)”可知，作者骑行途中遇到了难得的好天气。故选D。 C Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists who have studied the recordings of sound recorded with equipment placed underwater recently reported their observations that the ocean is getting noisier. Another report on the effect of noise from ships on the behavior of whales shows it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The whales find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises, loud engine noise could be interfering with (妨碍) their efforts. Michael Jasny, a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council, says the rise of underwriter noise is influencing the ability of whales to communicate. “Shipping noise falls across the sea frequencies (频率) that these animals use for their important behaviors.” Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales that he is worried about. “The entire web of life in the ocean depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it’s been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a significant serious and global problem. The main source of noise pollution is the propeller (螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and ship designs can help cut down on noise pollution. Michael Bahtiarian, who works for Noise Control Engineering — a company which helped design the boats — said, “The technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the military for some time. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has four new ships that have such costly engines, which produce less noise. These NOAA ships show that you can get quiet — I think they’re quiet enough — because they are able to go up quietly and count a fish and not startle the fish so that they can actually count them.” The shipping industry in the United States wants to be part of the solution to the noise problem, Kathy Metcalf, who works for the Chamber of Shipping of America, says it will be much less costly for the industry if it chooses to build quieter ships instead of being forced to do so. 8. What kind of effect do you think the noise made by ships has according to the passage? A. It is sure to get stronger in the future. B. It influences the normal life of whales. C. It makes underwater equipment unable to work normally. D. It makes it hard for scientists to track the activities of deep sea creatures. 9. What does Mr. Jasny want to express? A. Whales’ skill in finding food gets hurt most. B. There is no better way of solving the problem. C. The problem is far more serious than we thought. D. The frequencies of shipping noise should be increased. 10. What does the underlined word “startle” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Frighten. B. Catch. C. Dive. D. Feed. 11. What can we infer from the passage? A. Quieter ships have been designed to save money. B. The shipping industry should make quieter ships actively. C. The shipping designers are ordered to build quieter ships. D. The four new ships are the most advanced ships in the ocean. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了海洋噪声污染问题，特别是船只噪音对鲸鱼等海洋生物的交流与生存造成的干扰，以及现有减少船只噪音的技术与行业应对措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Another report on the effect of noise from ships on the behavior of whales shows it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The whales find fish by producing clicking sounds and other noises, loud engine noise could be interfering with (妨碍) their efforts. ( 另一份关于船只噪音对鲸鱼行为影响的报告显示，鲸鱼很可能必须大声呼喊才能被听到。鲸鱼通过发出咔嗒声和其他噪音来寻找鱼类，巨大的发动机噪音可能会干扰它们的努力。)”可知，船只产生的噪音影响了鲸鱼的正常生活，使它们需要更大声地呼叫才能被听见。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“And as more and more research has been done, it’s been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a significant serious and global problem. (随着越来越多的研究工作的进行，很明显，我们手头上的问题确实是一个严重的全球性问题。)”可知，Jasny先生想要表达的是海洋噪音污染问题比我们预想的要严重得多，已经成为一个重大的全球性问题。故选C。 10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的前半句话“These NOAA ships show that you can get quiet—I think they’re quiet enough —because they are able to go up quietly and count a fish (这些美国国家海洋和大气管理局的船只表明，你可以安静下来——我认为它们已经足够安静了——因为它们能够安静地上去数鱼)”可知，这里描述的是新设计的船只能够安静地靠近鱼类计数，而不会惊吓到鱼。因此，“startle”在这里的含义应该是“惊吓”。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “The shipping industry in the United States wants to be part of the solution to the noise problem, Kathy Metcalf, who works for the Chamber of Shipping of America, says it will be much less costly for the industry if it chooses to build quieter ships instead of being forced to do so. ( 美国航运业希望成为解决噪音问题一部分，美国航运商会的凯西·梅特卡夫表示，如果航运业主动选择建造更安静的船舶，而不是被迫去做，那么对行业来说成本将会低得多)”可推知，航运业应该主动建造更安静的船只，这样成本会更低，而不是等到被迫采取行动。故选B。 D In 1240, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II built Castel del Monte on a lonely hill in central Puglia, where he had a perfect view of approaching enemies. He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. Officially, UNESCO honors places that exemplify an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources —human and natural—upon which the industry is ultimately built”. There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless — or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these site s became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. 12. What can we learn about Castel del Monte? A. It was built to enjoy the view. B. It has become a hot tourist spot. C. It has to make way for a shopping mall. D. It failed to win UNESCO designation in 1996. 13. Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cuss” in paragraph 2? A. Solution. B. Promise. C. Drawback. D. Chance. 14. How does the author support King’s words in the last paragraph? A. By quoting experts. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Is UNESCO Helpful in Driving Global Tourism? B. How Can a Place Be Included in the UNESCO List? C. Why Is It Important to Market World Heritage Site Tours? D. Does Identifying World Heritage Sites Do More Harm Than Good? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。某地荣膺联合国教科文组织颁发的世界遗产地后往往会迎来众多游客的慕名参观，这对于保护该历史遗迹究竞是好是坏呢？世界遗产地在获得这一荣誉称号后究竟应该采取哪些应对措施才能切实保护历史文化呢？ 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. (他可能从来没有想到敌人有一天会是游客。但如今，这座古老的城堡已经被擦得干干正正，数百辆色彩斑斓的普尔曼巴士沿着蜿蜒的道路蜿蜒而上，驶往城堡的场地，现在到处都是t恤摊、可口可乐的招牌和一个可容纳200辆车的停车场。这一切都要归功于联合国教科文组织于1996年将其指定为世界遗产。)”可知，蒙特城堡现在已经成为一个热门旅游景点，每天参观的游客络绎不绝。故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources —human and natural—upon which the industry is ultimately built”. ( 世界观察研究所高级顾问丽莎•马斯特尼表示，对于那些被认为“对人类有突出价值”的地方来说，旅游业是一把双刃剑。它为许多贫困社区提供了获得经济回报的机会，但也威胁到该行业最终建立的人力和自然资源。”)”可知，旅游既给当地带来收入，又对世界遗产地的人文和自然资源造成了破坏。由此可见，“旅游对于世界遗产地而言既是馈赠又有缺点。故划线词意思是“缺点”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these site s became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. (“在早期，人们并没有太关注这些遗址成为世界遗产后会发生什么。但这种情况正在缓慢改变，”国际文化财产保护与修复研究中心遗址部门主任约瑟夫·金说。在非洲，一个为期12年的培训项目正在进行中，该项目不仅教授当地人如何保护他们不可移动的文化遗产，还教授他们如何将其用于经济发展。在东欧，旅游业是一个相对较新的事物，城市正在寻求帮助，以弄清楚如何在保护历史中心和促进城市发展之间划清界限。)”可知，作者通过举例子来说明这种“变化”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章前两段以蒙特城堡为例，讨论了某地荣膺联合国教科文组织颁发的世界遗产地称号后的利与弊：既带来了旅游收入，又对当地文化造成了破坏。最后一段讨论了一些地方逐渐开始意识到其中的弊端，并提出解决弊端的方法。故D项“认定世界遗产是否弊大于利？”作标题最能概括文意。故选D。 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One of the keys to doing well in school is staying positive.

This, of course, is not necessarily true. In Hawaiian culture, aloha has many meanings. First, it is a greeting. However, it is also an expression of love and friendship. One man was a living example of “aloha”, for he had a story to unfold. Amanda was shopping with her young son, and she was absorbed in picking up their groceries for their family reunion. She was in such a hurry that she even forgot her wallet in the shopping cart, which contained her driver license, credit cards, plenty of cash, and even a gift card that could easily be redeemed (兑换) by anyone . It was not until she arrived home that she found her wallet gone. The woman returned to the supermarket, and started her search for the lost wallet by watching hours and hours of security footage in the supermarket. After turning to several different cameras around the store, but in vain, she completely gave up hope. Andy Jose was a security guard at the World supermarket. He moved to Maui 5 years ago, and worked as a security guard at the grocery store to support the family and put himself through college.

The woman and her husband were overjoyed and insisted on rewarding Andy for his honesty. He refused, saying that he was just doing what anyone would do in his situation. Para. 2: Amanda and her husband decided to do something big to show their gratitude. They decided to raise money for Andy to help him buy a used car. They invested money themselves and then turned to friends, family. and their community for support with the goal of raising 500 for their new friend. Surprisingly, they ended up raising S 25, 00!
