Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby.He finds old military (军队的) medals for sale in antique stores and on the Internet.But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals' rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with the name Corrado A.G.Piccoli, found in an antique shop.Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart — he earned one himself in a war as a soldier.So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado's sister Adeline Rockko.But when he finally reached her, the woman flooded him with questions:“Who are you? What antique shop?” However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she had handled the call.So she called Zac back and apologized.Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N.Y.“At that point, I knew she meant business,” Zac says.“To drive eight hours to come to see me.”
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown.Corrado, a translator for the Army during WWⅡ, was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn't realized the medal was missing.Like many military medals, the one Zac's mother had found was a family treasure.“This medal was very precious to my parents.Only on special occasions (场合) would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands, ” Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant.“But as I grew older,” Adeline says, “and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left.” Corrado Piccoli's Purple Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama.Since he first reunited Corrado's medal, Zac says his record is now 5 for 5.

Culture is particularly at risk in an armed conflict or disaster owing to its great symbolic value.At the same time, culture is regarded as a driver of recovery, strengthening the flexibility of a civilized society.
During recent conflicts, cultural relics have not only increasingly suffered from the damage caused by war, but have also become the target of systematic and deliberate attacks because of its high significance in the nations to which it belongs.The destruction of the cultural relics in Palmyra (Syria) and the robbery of the National Museum of Iraq are tragic examples of an intention to destroy the very cultural identity and break the bonds that bring them together as a society.
Disasters caused by natural and humanmade harm including earthquakes, fires, floods and typhoons, also have caused extensive damage to many cultural and natural relics, museums, cultural institutions.The earthquakes in Nepal and Ecuador, the floods in Myanmar, Hurricane Matthew in the Western Atlantic Ocean and the heavy rainfalls following El Niño in Peru have all resulted in a mass of damage.
Culture, however, is not only a victim of emergency situations.Immediately after a disaster or an armed conflict, all nations often find cultural relics can work well as material and psychological support.The ability to access one's cultural attractions — like an old building, a historic city, a historical relic or a landscape — or to keep a specific cultural practice, may provide a muchneeded sense of identity and dignity (尊严).Moreover after an emergency, culture can be an engine both to rebuild economies and societies and to promote tolerance, compromise and understanding, easing tensions (紧张) and preventing renewed conflicts.Music, dance, theatre and cinema, for example, have been used to build deeper understanding among people who flee for safety.
This is why protecting culture in emergency situations, and cultural protection from disasters is fundamental to a country's development and people's security.

A.To prove emergency situations caused by culture.
B.To show the intense international relationship.
C.To present the terrible situation of culture in an armed conflict or disaster.
D.To unfold the disasters and conflicts in the world.

5.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Culture plays an important role in restoration.
B.Culture suffers a lot in emergency situations.
C.Lots of cultural relics are rebuilt after a disaster.
D.Culture helps people better understand each other.
解析:A 段落大意题。根据第四段中的第二句“Immediately after a disaster or an armed conflict, all nations often find cultural relics can work well as material and psychological support.”及“Moreover after an emergency ...renewed conflicts.”可知,本段描述了文化在灾后修复中起着重要的作用。

7.What is likely to be talked about after the last paragraph?
A.The fast development of culture.
B.The analysis of the cultural emergency.

Do you know some surprising innovations that came from World War Ⅰ? Here are some introductions to you.
Daylight Saving Time
The idea of fiddling with the clock has been around since ancient times, but it was not until World WarⅠ that governments around the globe officially adopted daylight saving time.Why? To save resources such as fuel and extend the workday for the war effort. 1 and the Allies followed shortly after.To clear up confusion about the concept, a newspaper used a comic strip to explain the first “spring forward” in the United States in 1918.
Blood Banks
2 but doctors rarely performed them before World War Ⅰ, when they were accomplished by transfusing blood directly from one person to another.Captain Oswald Robertson, a U.S.Army Reserve doctor consulting with the British army, recognized the need to stock blood before casualties (伤员) emerged.
Hollywood
With so much of Europe in the gunfire, the European film industry had to scale back (缩减) dramatically. 3 Hollywood was still in its early stage, but its studios soon made fortunes producing wartime movies.The war itself provided material for countless movies in the 1920s and 1930s, including Wings, the winner of the first Academy Awards.
Plastic Surgery
4 British army surgeon Harold Gillies and his colleagues performed more than 11,000 operations, mostly on soldiers suffering from facial wounds from gunshots. 5
There were other innovations made during World WarⅠ, such as wristwatches, modern passports, zippers, drones, etc.
A.The Germans did it first, in 1916.
B.That opened the door for the Americans.
C.Blood transfusions (输血) date back to the 1600s.
D.Gillies' operation became successful immediately.

F.Gillies became known as the father of modern plastic surgery.
G.After World WarⅠ the blood banks appeared in the United States.
