Treasure Hunt Through Modernday Ruins
Urban exploration of abandoned manmade structures became popular in the 1990s when modern society was fast forwarding into the next century.Left behind were relics of human civilization.Far away from modernization, rusted in air, tangled in weeds and vines, ruins tell forgotten tales and sometimes become history in and of themselves.

MOAB, UTAH
Vintage car lovers won't want to miss this huge car disposal yard,the impressive openair Tom's Volkswagen graveyard—a fatherandson cooperation begun in 1961 with eight cars.From buses to Beetles to Karmann Ghias to Squarebacks,hundreds of cars, car windows, doors and tires form a rainbow colored fleet contrasting with the dry yellow ground.
Game of Thrones' End
KUPARI, CROATIA
Six miles east of Dubrovnik,one of the main filming locations of the hit series Game of Thrones' King's Landing, is a bay of abandoned hotels that witnessed Croatia's real power play.It was once a seaside resort for the military elite before the Yugoslav army destroyed it during the Croatian War in the 1990s.What exists today at the complex of former glory are overgrown weeds, graffiti and rusty remains.
Once Upon a Gold
ATHENS
Stadiums that once housed tears and sweat, cheers and boos during the 2004 Olympic Games are now left for weeds.The beach volleyball arena, aquatics center and other venues were abandoned because of little local interest and lack of planning when the $15 billion grand building was being erected.

Nearly a century ago,Spanish sugarcane cutter José Paronella wanted to build a castle in the rainforest for his wife.The resulting wonderland—Paronella Park—with vines twining on stone pillars and moss peeping out from cracks has been open to the public since 1935.Its current owners are dedicated to “maintaining and preserving” the primitive beauty of this renowned carbon neutral tourist attraction with 7,500 flora and fauna (动植物).

(2024·郑州一模)There are several items that most women would consider to be daily essentials that they need to have in their purses at all times.Few would consider a pair of scissors to be among these items.But for Shi Qinling, this tool has been with her everywhere she goes for the past decade—not as a means of selfprotection but artistic expression.“Papercutting is not about cutting random patterns from paper.Writers tell stories using words, I do the same,but with a pair of scissors,”Shi said.
Shi developed an interest in handicraft (手工艺)when she was a child who often found herself alone at home.Out of boredom, she would play with paper, folding and cutting them into different shapes.This interest later developed into a passion, one that she decided to pursue by majoring in arts and design during her time in university.After graduation, however, she found herself working at a ship design company as she was unsure about what she wanted to do with her future.About a year later, the Shanghai Arts and Crafts Research Institute offered her a position in their papercutting department.Realizing that she still had a love for the handicraft, she made the career switch.
In 2010, Shi started learning papercutting from Xi Xiaoqin, an expert of papercutting.Three years later, one of her works, The Fighting Fish, won the third place in a national competition.Six years later,Shi was named a Shanghai papercutting inheritor (继承人) and became the city's “youngest inheritor” of the papercutting heritage.Over the past decade, Shi's works have been exhibited in 23 exhibitions.Although Shi is already so skilled that she can create an animal pattern in 10 minutes, she continues to practice her skills every day.The reason is that she views papercutting as not just an art form, but also a form of learning about traditional Chinese culture.She thinks she has the responsibility to inherit this cultural treasure, and will make more efforts to attract people from different age groups and different fields to try papercutting.

[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了考古发现了世界上最古老的硬币铸造厂。
1.解析:was used。考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。句意为:大约2 600年前,这个地方被用来制造金属货币。设空处在句中作谓语,主语The site与use之间为被动关系,用被动语态;around 2,600 years ago是过去时间,谓语动词用一般过去时。故填was used。
2.解析:what。考查名词性从句。句意为:它位于现在中国河南省的官庄遗址。根据句意再结合空前的介词in可知,设空处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指“……的东西”,故填what。
3.解析:conclusion。考查词性转换。句意为:利用放射性碳定年法,研究人员得出结论,该作坊始于公元前640年至公元前550年之间。空前为定冠词,设空处应填名词,在句中作came to的宾语,故填conclusion。come to a conclusion为固定搭配,意为“得出结论”,此处用定冠词表示特指。
4.解析:truly。考查词形变化。句意为:造币厂的发现确实令人兴奋,因为它表明了一个非常古老的硬币作坊的存在。设空处修饰后面的形容词exciting,表示“确实”,应用副词truly。
5.解析:made。考查非谓语动词。句意为:作坊里制造的硬币是“铲币”。are 为本句的系动词,动词make与其之间无连接词,应用非谓语动词形式作后置定语,修饰The coins;二者在逻辑上是被动关系,应用过去分词。故填made。
6.解析:shells。考查名词单复数。句意为:在春秋时期,它们取代了贝壳。shell为可数名词,根据前面的The coins和They并结合句意可知,此处需用其复数形式。故填shells。
7.解析:which。考查定语从句。句意为:该作坊靠近该市的行政中心,这表明它可能是根据政府命令开始铸造硬币的。逗号前后无连词,由此可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整个主句内容,应用关系代词 which,并在从句中作主语。故填which。
8.解析:to。考查介词。句意为:这项新研究加剧了长期以来关于货币起源的争论。add...to...是固定搭配,意为“把……加到……上”。故填to。
9.解析:began。考查动词的时态。句意为:一些学者认为,货币最初是商人和顾客之间进行贸易的一种方式。分析句子结构可知,argue为主句的谓语动词,后面为that引导的宾语从句,从句的主语为money,设空处应填谓语动词形式作从句的谓语;由句意可知,这里说的是很久以前的事,谓语动词用一般过去时。故填 began。
10.解析:to allow。考查非谓语动词。句意为:有的人说,政府创建它是考虑到征税和收债。分析句子结构可知,say为主句谓语动词,后面为省略that的宾语从句,从句中 created为谓语动词,动词 allow与其之间无连词,应为非谓语动词;结合句意可知,征税和收债是政府创建它的目的,因此用动词不定式在句中作目的状语。故填to allow。
