Ⅰ.阅读理解 A In the spring of 1943, James and Lucy Lo started a photography expedition.Their sights were set on an ancient network of caves in northwest China.Soon after, they arrived at the oasis city of Dunhuang.They would spend the next 18 months at this historic crossroads.And what began as a passion project quickly turned into one of the most ambitious surveys of Dunhuang's Yulin and Mogao Caves. The Los ended up collecting a considerable number of manuscripts that today make up the largest collection of Dunhuang texts in the United States.The more than 3，000 photographs they amassed have proven extremely valuable to researchers, archaeologists, and art historians because they preserve viewpoints of sites or features that are now long gone, badly damaged, or inaccessible.In June 2021，Visualizing Dunhuang: Seeing，Studying，and Conserving the Caves, a new book featuring several hundred black­and­white photos from the Lo Archive(罗氏档案), was published.It is a huge contribution that furthers our understanding of Dunhuang. Now the Mogao Caves have re­emerged as a popular travel destination.In modern times, however, the caves face unprecedented levels of stress, with over one million tourists each year.Situated within delicate microclimates, the murals are extremely sensitive to changes in moisture and carbon dioxide.Moisture, worsened by a constant flow of visitors during the hot summer months, can cause salts in the walls to liquefy(液化).Also, because the complex lies in an earthquake­prone zone (地震易发区), conservators say that action must be taken now to protect against further erosion and collapse. Countless questions remain about the caves' past and future.Can we ever come to know a place as vast and mysterious as Dunhuang? Perhaps, but we certainly can't do it by ourselves, let alone in a single lifetime.The Los might not realize they were starting something that would continue long after they were gone.And yet they have brought us closer to reconstructing the past and have driven us to become better caretakers of it.These living histories may still be incomplete，but they are far more complete than anything we could attempt on our own. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了罗寄梅夫妇对敦煌石窟研究作出的巨大贡献。 1．Why did the Los go to Dunhuang? A．To go on a business trip. B．To take photos of caves in Dunhuang. C．To lecture on archaeological expeditions. D．To participate in a photography exhibition. 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“James and Lucy Lo started a photography expedition”和“Their sights were set on an ancient network of caves in northwest China.Soon after, they arrived at the oasis city of Dunhuang.”可知，罗氏夫妇来到敦煌是为了拍摄石窟的照片。故选B。 答案　B 2．What does the underlined word “amassed” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Collected. B．Found. C．Bought. D．Studied. 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在段中的“The Los ended up collecting a considerable number of manuscripts”和“The more than 3，000 photographs they amassed have proven extremely valuable”可知，罗氏夫妇积累了大量的手稿，也就是拍了大量照片，这些照片被证明非常有价值。由此可知此处是说这三千多张照片是由罗氏夫妇积累的。故选A。B.发现；C.买；D.研究。 答案　A 3．What can be learned about the Mogao Caves? A．They frequently fell victim to earthquakes. B．They were badly damaged by moisture. C．They provide an unfavorable environment for the murals. D．They become unwelcome due to harsh climate. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Situated within delicate microclimates, the murals are extremely sensitive to changes in moisture and carbon dioxide.”可知，莫高窟壁画所处的微气候是脆弱的，对湿气和二氧化碳的变化极度敏感。再结合第三段最后提到的“the complex lies in an earthquake­prone zone(地震易发区)”可知莫高窟地理条件也脆弱。由此可知莫高窟为壁画提供了一个不利的环境。故选C。 答案　C 4．What is the author's attitude to the Los? A．Doubtful. B．Sympathetic. C．Worried. D．Admiring. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“they have brought us closer to reconstructing the past and have driven us to become better caretakers of it.These living histories may still be incomplete, but they are far more complete than anything we could attempt on our own.”可知，作者认为罗氏夫妇帮助我们重现过去，促使我们能更好地保护莫高窟，虽然他们所重塑的历史尚不完整，但他们提供的记录已非我们凭一己之力可及。因此可以看出，作者非常钦佩罗氏夫妇，对他们所作的贡献给予了高度赞扬。故选D。 答案　D B Examples of effective conservation of places matter to the world.They range from the 1960s Nubian campaign to safeguard Ancient Egyptian monuments from the waters of the Aswan Dam to the removal in 2018 of the Belize Barrier Reef from the List of World Heritage in Danger.Conservation is the core purpose of the World Heritage Convention and it may also be its biggest challenge. The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable development.A year after Vienna was included on the World Heritage List in 2001, the World Heritage Committee (WHC) expressed concerns about the architectural solutions and height of four planned towers of the Wien Mitte project.This development project, close to the Historic Centre of Vienna in the site's buffer zone, the one that lies between two or more other areas, affected the urbanscale (规模) and visual effects in and around the property (地产).As a result of the Committee's concerns, Vienna changed its building modes and launched a new design competition for the Wien Mitte project to work out architectural plans with reduced size in keeping with World Heritage protection. The successful practice inspired the government of the city to invite over 600 experts and professionals from 55 countries to an international conference on World Heritage and contemporary architecture, held in Vienna in May 2005.The global discussion that followed, detailing an approach to managing conservation and development, was recorded in the UNESCO Recommendation in 2011. The Recommendation put forwards an all­round and combined approach to balancing urban heritage conservation and economic development, arguing that active protection and management of urban heritage supports the goal of sustainable development.The Recommendation supports the harmonious combination of contemporary involvement into the historic urban framework while holding on to values linked to history, memory and the environment. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述一些具体的例子来倡导对世界遗产进行有效保护和可持续发展。 5．Why does the author mention the Belize Barrier Reef in paragraph 1? A．To explain the goal of the organization. B．To encourage the public to protect the world. C．To show the positive effect of conservation. D．To remind people of the environmental problems. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Examples of effective conservation of places matter to the world.”以及其和第二句之间的关系可推知，第二句所列举的例子是在证明“遗产保护对世界很重要”这个观点，故选C。 答案　C 6．Why was WHC worried about the Wien Mitte project? A．Because it took up too much public land of the city. B．Because it had a bad effect on the Historic Centre of Vienna. C．Because its original designs were not environmentally friendly. D．Because its architectural solutions couldn't meet safety standard. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This development project, close to the Historic Centre of Vienna ...launched a new design competition for the Wien Mitte project to work out architectural plans with reduced size in keeping with World Heritage protection.”可知，WHC之所以对Wien Mitte项目担忧是因为该项目对维也纳历史中心有不好的影响。 答案　B 7．What did the global discussion focus on? A．The ways to combine conservation and development. B．The creation of the new UNESCO Recommendation. C．The international urban management and development. D．The styles of the contemporary architecture of Vienna. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The global discussion that followed, detailing an approach to managing conservation and development”可知，这次全球讨论的焦点是详述世界遗产保护和发展的方法。 答案　A 8．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To examine the challenges faced by global urban planners. B．To introduce alternative ways of protecting the environment. C．To stress the importance of the value of history and memory. D．To promote active conservation and sustainable development. 解析　写作意图题。根据第二段第一句“The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable development.”并结合对全文的整体理解可推知，本文旨在提倡对世界遗产的有效保护和可持续发展。 答案　D Ⅱ.完形填空 It's been five years since I came to America.The year before I arrived, every weekend I was woken up by “A Moonlit Night on the Spring River”， 1 by my mother on a zheng.
