Ten years ago, she was only a village girl who loved dancing and her ethnic culture. Now she’s a dancer and a successful businesswoman. That’s thanks to her endless efforts to spread and protect Hani culture. She was born and grew up in a Hani village in Honghe county, Yunnan. Now, she is 28 years old and deeply loves her ethnic culture. Guided by her mother, the county’s first folk dance teacher, she came to love dance. After finishing high school, she chose to mainly study dance performance in college in 2014. In 2015, Yang set up an art center to spread Hani music and dance. She taught dance there. Then more and more local kids fell in love with Hani dance. “The Hani dance has beautiful moves and shows strong life. Why not bring it to a bigger stage?” said Yang. Yang also set up a street dance group with street dancers from other areas of Yunnan. They mix street dance moves with their local dance style to show their love for their own culture. Her art center later set up a recording studio (工作室) to record the voices of its students and Hani folk singers. In the future, Yang is going to focus on making better use of the cultural and tourism value of the Cultural Landscape of Honghe Hani Rice Terraces (梯田).

In 1963, Fan, then a 25-year-old Peking University graduate, had the chance to work at the Mogao Caves, a place which she had wanted to explore for a long time.     “Seeing Dunhuang for the first time was breathtaking. But only when truly staying here did I realize that inside the caves is a world of divine (神圣) beauty while outside is a land of blowing sand and yellow earth.” Fan told Gansu Daily.     Back in those days, the Mogao Caves were almost completely cut off from the world. Fan and her co-workers had to live in mud houses and drink salty water. They stayed inside the caves to do research, copy murals (壁画), and do whatever they could to protect and restore them.     In 2011, after 40 years of hard work, a report on 10 Mogao Caves compiled (编写) by Fan’s team was finally published. It was known as China’s first professional report on cave archaeology, reported Gansu Daily.     As time passed, Fan found a serious problem. The increasing number of tourists visiting Dunhuang might harm the caves, causing the murals inside to fade. A solution needed to be found to preserve Dunhuang’s heritage (遗产).     In the late 1980s, Fan came across computer technology by chance. She realized that this might preserve the Mogao Caves forever. After over 30 years of exploration, the Dunhuang Academy built a digital database to protect cultural relics (文物) there, allowing Dunhuang’s art to live forever and to step out of the caves to meet the world.     “In my whole life, I’ve only done one thing: protect and promote the world cultural heritage of the Mogao Caves,” she told People’s Daily. “My heart belongs to Dunhuang.” 6．What can we learn about Fan from the article?

C．The need to document the restoration work. D．The increasing threat to the physical caves. 9．What’s the genre (体裁) of this passage? A．A story which is made up by imagination. B．A mystery which waits to be uncovered. C．A profile which gives facts about a person. D．A science report which focuses on the discovery of Mogao Caves. 10．What would be the best title for the passage? A．The Struggle of A Guard of Dunhuang B．Returning to Mogao Caves C．The Success of An Archaeologist D．Deep Connection to Caves 3 They are our time machines, taking us back to the days of ancient history. They are both man-made and natural. They include things like the Grand Canyon(峡谷), the Great Wall of China, and the Tango dance of Argentina. We call these things world heritage(遗产). The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO，联合国教科文组织)began the World Heritage List in 1972 when it passed the World Heritage Convention(《世界遗产公约》). The goal of the Convention is to encourage countries to protect natural and cultural sites of world heritage. What is heritage? Heritage is our word for all the things our past has given to us. Heritage lets us learn about the many lives, civilizations(文明), and earth movements that came before us. UNESCO puts heritage items into three types: natural, cultural and intangible. Natural heritage items are amazing things we find in nature, like the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁)in Australia or the Amazon in Brazil. The rainforests in the Amazon, for example, have many different types of life in them, including animals that can be found nowhere else. Cultural heritage items are man-made things that show the culture of a county or people. Places like Machu Pichu of ancient Peru and the Palace of Versailles(凡尔赛宫)reflect a particular moment in history. They tell us as much about the past as a history book. Intangible heritage is called “intangible” because it is more difficult to see or touch. It often refers to things people do, not make. For example, the Mediterranean diet(地中海饮食)can teach us many things about civilization, just as the city of Venice can. Whatever form it takes, it is good to know our world heritage is protected for generations to come. 11．What does “They” mean in the first passage? A．the Grand Canyon B．the Great Wall of China C．the Tango dance of Argentina D．world heritage 12．What can we learn from heritage? A．Many lives. B．Civilizations. C．Earth movements. D．All of above. 13．Whet’s the meaning of the underlined word “intangible”? A．非物质的 B．物质的 C．可触的 D．可见的 14．Which of the following is true? A．The rainforests in the Amazon belongs to Cultural heritage. B．Machu Pichu of ancient Peru belongs to naturel heritage. C．The Mediterranean diet belongs to Intangible heritage. D．Our world heritage is protected for ourselves. 4 Jiu Zhaigou National ParkLocation: in the north of Sichuan Famous for: green lakes, waterfalls, colorful forests, snow peaks, Tibetan customs and blue ice, UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Since then, more than 800 cultural sites that are thought to be of special importance to human history and culture have been added to the Word Cultural Heritage List. The Taj Mahal, which was built between 1631 and 1648, is a masterpiece of architecture(建筑杰作). It took more than 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephants to complete it, and the stones came from as far away as China. Building the Taj Mahal was a labor of love. In the early 17th century, India was ruled by an emperor named Shah Jahan who was married to a woman named Mumtaz. The emperor loved his wife so much that when she died, he built the Taj Mahal in her memory. If the Taj Mahal is a celebration of the love, then the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are a monument to the mind and spirit. Visitors who walk among the buildings can feel both the weight of history and a wonderful sense of peace. Built by several emperors between 1368 and 1915 in Beijing, Hebei, and Liaoning, the Imperial Tombs represent Chinese cultural and historical values that have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Human life lasts only a short time but art and culture last forever. The UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites programme tries to protect the best of human history. Masterpieces such as the Taj Mahal and the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties remind us of what we can achieve and inspire us to live up to our great past in the future. 43．Building the Taj Mahal almost took ________.

They are both man-made and natural. They include things like the Grand Canyon(峡谷), the Great Wall of China, and the Tango dance of Argentina. We call these things world heritage(遗产). The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO，联合国教科文组织)began the World Heritage List in 1972 when it passed the World Heritage Convention(《世界遗产公约》). The goal of the Convention is to encourage countries to protect natural and cultural sites of world heritage. What is heritage? Heritage is our word for all the things our past has given to us. Heritage lets us learn about the many lives, civilizations(文明), and earth movements that came before us. UNESCO puts heritage items into three types: natural, cultural and intangible. Natural heritage items are amazing things we find in nature, like the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁)in Australia or the Amazon in Brazil. The rainforests in the Amazon, for example, have many different types of life in them, including animals that can be found nowhere else. Cultural heritage items are man-made things that show the culture of a county or people. Places like Machu Pichu of ancient Peru and the Palace of Versailles(凡尔赛宫)reflect a particular moment in history. They tell us as much about the past as a history book.

Since then, more than 800 cultural sites that are thought to be of special importance to human history and culture have been added to the Word Cultural Heritage List. The Taj Mahal, which was built between 1631 and 1648, is a masterpiece of architecture(建筑杰作). It took more than 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephants to complete it, and the stones came from as far away as China. Building the Taj Mahal was a labor of love. In the early 17th century, India was ruled by an emperor named Shah Jahan who was married to a woman named Mumtaz. The emperor loved his wife so much that when she died, he built the Taj Mahal in her memory. If the Taj Mahal is a celebration of the love, then the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties are a monument to the mind and spirit. Visitors who walk among the buildings can feel both the weight of history and a wonderful sense of peace. Built by several emperors between 1368 and 1915 in Beijing, Hebei, and Liaoning, the Imperial Tombs represent Chinese cultural and historical values that have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. Human life lasts only a short time but art and culture last forever. The UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites programme tries to protect the best of human history. Masterpieces such as the Taj Mahal and the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties remind us of what we can achieve and inspire us to live up to our great past in the future. 43．Building the Taj Mahal almost took ________.
