[河北质检联盟2024高一期中] There are some palaces in Europe that you may be interested to know about.
Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain
It takes the title of the largest European palace by floor area and it is the largest functioning palace in Europe. The Royal Palace of Madrid was built in the 18th century by order of Philip Ⅴ on the site of the old Alcázar fortress, a former Moorish castle. With about 135,000 square metres and 3,418 rooms, it has seeded centuries of Spanish history. It is one of the few official seats of a head of state that is open to the public.
Royal Palace of Brussels, Belgium
It is a historic and the most wonderful building in Brussels, Belgium, next to the Brussels Park. The Royal Palace of Brussels is the King’s main workplace, where he works daily with his staff. A tradition has been established since 1965 to open the Royal Palace of Brussels to the public after the National Holiday of 21 July until September.

Pena Palace, Portugal
It is the most popular attraction in Sintra, Portugal, and the main reason why so many people visit the small mountain town less than one hour’s drive from the country’s capital city, Lisbon. The colourful palace perched upon a hill looks like something out of a fairy tale. Its yellow and bright red appearance makes Pena Palace one of the most picturesque places in Europe. The UNESCO World Heritage site has a rich history that dates all the way back to the Middle Ages.
Palace of Venaria, Italy
It is a former royal residence (住所) and gardens located in Venaria Reale, near Turin in the Metropolitan City of Turin of the Piedmont region in northern Italy. It is one of the largest palaces in the world. It is one of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy, included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.

[陕西安康2024高一期末] My name is Arianna Traviglia and I’m a senior cultural and heritage researcher at the Centre for Cultural Heritage Technology of the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, Italy.
As head of the team, I encourage the development of new technologies to maintain and protect important archaeological (考古学的) findings. Right now, I am working in the field of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city which was destroyed and buried under 13 to 20 feet of ash and small rocks during a volcanic eruption in 79 CE. With the help of a robot, I try to carefully reconstruct (重建) the city’s around 2,000-year-old broken frescoes (湿壁画). The project is called RePAIR.

There are thousands of fresco pieces in Pompeii, and it was nearly impossible for a human to reconstruct all the irregular pieces into big, meaningful paintings in the past. Technology now allows us to do it—the robot we use is run by artificial intelligence (AI). As it examines a piece, it searches a database for a match, and then sends the data back to its hands to fit matching pieces together, saving a lot of hours. Its soft human-like arms and hands allow it to hold and examine the easily broken pieces without damaging them. The technology is likely to allow many museums around the world to reconstruct large-scale broken frescoes or similar objects in the future.
In RePAIR, I’m in charge of studying the hyperspectral (高光谱的) images of the fresco pieces in storage and comparing them with the paintings on the walls of the House of the Painters at Work, part of a building in Pompeii. By comparing the resemblances in the images, we will be able to work out whether the broken pieces were from the same wall.

I studied history and archaeology in college. Archaeology helps us understand where we come from, and technology enriches that exploration. I’m glad I’m a translator of the two worlds. My mind runs wild when I think about the exciting Roman life that we are still missing because Pompeii’s frescoes were damaged and haven’t been reconstructed.

One of the reasons why we preserve historic places is that they can continue to tell the stories of our history for the next generation. But what if the next generation doesn’t understand the value and significance of these places? 1. . Here are four things to do with kids in the classroom or at home to get them involved in and excited about historic preservation.
Talk to the neighbours. Encourage kids to talk to the neighbours who have lived on their street for a long time. Find out what they remember about living there and about the people who have moved on. Maybe they have old photographs of how the street and houses used to look. 2. . Oral (口述的) histories are an invaluable resource and provide a link to the places of our past.
Visit a historic site. Take kids to visit a historic site in your area, or stop by the local historical society or museum. You can often find an original map of the surrounding area at the historical society or museum. Make a project out of comparing old maps to today’s roads and neighbourhoods. 3. . What has stayed the same?

4. . Ask your historical society or local preservation organisation if there are any projects that your kids can get involved in. Help clean up and repair buildings or plant trees in or around historic areas.
Create a historical record for a landmark (遗址). Brainstorm the items that should be included in a historical record, like photographs, construction dates, architectural styles and features, and stories of who lived there or used the building and for what. What kinds of things would someone want to know about this place in 50 or 100 years? 5. .
A.What has changed?
B.Take part in a community project.
C.Create a historic walking tour of your city.
D.Then, put together your own historical record.
E.Do they tell different stories from different ages?
F.You can also consider recording the conversation.
G.That’s why it’s important to get kids involved in historic preservation.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几种引导孩子们参与历史遗迹保护的方法。
1.___
G
解析 前文提到我们保护历史遗迹的原因之一是它们可以继续为下一代讲述我们的历史故事。空前提出设问:但如果下一代不理解这些地方的价值和意义该怎么办呢? 后文提出本文主旨,有四件让孩子们参与历史古迹保护要做的事。G项(这就是为什么让孩子们参与历史文物保护很重要)承上启下,其中的historic preservation和下文中的historic preservation相呼应。故选G项。
2.___
F
解析 前文提到鼓励孩子和街道上居住已久的邻居交谈的意义在于可以帮助孩子了解此地的历史,下文提到口述历史是极宝贵的资源和将我们与历史遗迹相联系的桥梁。由此可推知,设空处应承上启下;F项中的recording the conversation承接上文的Talk to the neighbours.,且与设空处后的Oral histories are an invaluable resource相呼应。故选F项。

3.___
A
解析 前文讲到把旧地图与现在的道路和社区进行比较,后文提出问题:什么保持不变?结合选项可判断,A项(什么改变了?)符合语境,表示通过对比,探索改变的地方和没有改变的地方。故选A项。
4.___
B
解析 根据文章结构可知,设空处位于段首,是本段的主题句,应对该段内容进行概括。根据下文Ask your historical society or local preservation organisation if there are any projects that your kids can get involved in.可知,下文提到了让孩子参与项目,所以本段主要是讲通过参与项目的方式来了解历史。B项(参与社区项目)中的Take part in与下文中的get involved in是同义表述,而下文中的Help clean up and repair buildings or plant trees是对参与方式的具体举例说明。B项符合语境。

5.___
D
解析 前文Brainstorm the items that should be included in a historical record, like… 提到想出你想要加入史学档案中的内容,并列举了一些例子。D项(然后,把你自己的史学档案整理出来)承接上文。故选D项。
