Unit 1 Cultural Heritage 单元话题阅读理解练习 （24-25高一上·辽宁大连·阶段练习）The British Museum’s rich collection of ancient Chinese paintings has attracted many visitors. At the heart of this preservation and revival of Chinese art history is senior conservator (文物修复员) Qiu Jinxian. Joanna Kosek, head of Pictorial Art Conservation at the British Museum, told the Times Publications that. Qiu is considered one of the museum’s most priceless treasures. “We let the treasure treat the treasure,” Kosek said. In 1987, Qiu was introduced to Mrs. Jessica Rawson, director of the British Museum. At the time there were no conservators specializing in ancient Chinese art at the British Museum. The large collection of Chinese ancient paintings and cultural relics in the museum was mainly repaired by Japanese and British methods and materials. As these methods were not suitable for Chinese paintings, the art collection was kept in storage for a long time instead of on public display. Just before Christmas in 1987, Qiu Jinxian had her first appointment at the British Museum. She was asked to repair an ancient scroll (卷轴) by Fu Baoshi, which had been badly damaged by fire. Qiu’s methods, which included washing with warm water to separate the glue in order to repair the paper, stunned people on the spot. Some of them even took out of the camera to record her methods as they’d never seen this way of restoring ancient art. Mrs. Rawson was completely amazed by Qiu Jinxian’s incredible skills. She immediately invited Qiu to join the British Museum. Chinese ancient paintings are pretty difficult to repair because of their large size, complex materials, diverse colors, and rich composition. The most important thing is to understand the long history, meaning and culture behind the painting. Repair is an extremely time and energy intensive process. Each painting normally takes several months from cleaning to restoration and drying. Since 1987, Qiu has repaired more than 400 artworks. Qiu told the media that she is very proud of her work. She wants more people to understand and appreciate Chinese history and culture through art. Although the artworks originated from China, they now belong to the people of the world. 1．Why is Qiu considered a treasure at the British Museum? A．She has a high social status. B．She is good at public relations. C．She has unique skills to repair artworks. D．She repairs Chinses sc roll quickly. 2．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．There was no Chinese art conservator in China. B．Repair methods were ideal at that moment. C．Chinese artworks were well displayed there. D．Chinese artworks were in a state of being overlooked. 3．What does the underlined word “stunned” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．inspired. B．shocked. C．judged. D．alarmed. 4．What is the author’s final purpose in writing the text? A．To highlight Chinese art history preservation. B．To recommend outstanding ancient artworks. C．To introduce the British Museum. D．To honor a skillful conservator. （24-25高一上·全国·课后作业）For Shi Qinling, a pair of scissors has been with her everywhere she goes for the past decade — not as a means of self-protection, but as an artistic expression. Scissors are to this paper-cutting artist what brushes are to painters, or what pens are to writers. Always taking a pair of scissors allows her to create art whenever inspiration hits. Most of her paper-cutting works are inspired by moments in daily life, such as a neighbor’s dog, her own pets and scenes on the streets. In 2010, she started learning paper-cutting from Xi Xiaoqin, the national inheritor (继承人) of the intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of paper-cutting. Six years later, Shi was named as a Shanghai paper-cutting inheritor and became the city’s “youngest inheritor” of the paper-cutting heritage. Similar to local dialects, paper-cutting comes in different styles, depending on the region. In general, the paper-cutting artworks in the country’s northern area are usually rough patterns used as decorations on windows, walls, roofs, lanterns and other household items. In southern China, paper-cutting is used as the base pattern for embroidery (刺绣) and requires more careful workmanship. Shanghai paper-cutting, on the other hand, is a combination of these two styles. Since the 1960s, Shanghai paper-cutting has been more frequently adopted in artworks and handicrafts. Shi now works at the Fenglin community cultural center and she now plans to produce cultural and creative goods to attract more people to learn paper-cutting. “We are very proud to have this unique folk culture and art project, As we have the responsibility to protect and inherit this cultural heritage, we will make more efforts to attract people from different age groups and different fields to try paper-cutting,” said Liu Li, director of the Fenglin community development office. 1．Why does Shi Qinling take a pair of scissors with her everywhere? A．To protect herself. B．To show her identity as an artist. C．To create works whenever she has inspiration. D．To share paper-cutting skills with ordinary people. 2．What feature do Shi Qinling’s works have? A．They are in various styles. B．They are mainly related to animals. C．They are a hit among young people. D．They are mostly inspired by details of daily life. 3．What can we learn about Shanghai paper-cutting? A．It is usually combined with embroidery. B．It is usually used as decorations during festivals. C．It is a mixture of China’s northern and southern styles. D．It requires greater skill than other paper-cutting forms. 4．What is Liu Li’s attitude toward the paper-cutting project? A．She disapproves of it. B．She supports it. C．She is tolerant of it.

About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors. Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago. The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels (渠道) to demand the return of relics. In 2003, a priceless (无价的) Bronze Pig’s Head (青铜猪头) dating from the Qing Dynasty (清朝) was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur (企业家) Stanley Ho (何鸿燊) donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing. Although buying-back is the most possible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache. In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database (数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations. 1．What can be inferred from paragraph 1?

The map was made by Wu Yunjie, who was born in the 1990s. Wu has a deep interest in cultural relics and history. When he was in college, he would often make use of his spare time to travel around the country, exploring and documenting ancient sites. In 2020, he started collecting information on cultural relic protection units and uploaded the data to the mapping software. As some of the information is not fully disclosed and many historical sites in far areas cannot be located specifically, Wu spent a lot of time on research and carrying out on-site visits. Now, the map includes nearly 10,000 historical landmarks with different colors standing for different kinds: Red signs show the cultural relic sites under state protection or the national-level museums, while green signs stand for the provincially protected historical sites. A lot of ancient temples, bridges and other architecture in the far areas are also marked on the map. A netizen posted, “I actually found the ancient tower around my house on the map!” However, in Wu’s eyes, the map is not perfect, as it recorded less than two percent of the over 760,000 immovable cultural relics registered in the country’s third national survey of cultural relics. But Wu has been working on improving it. “If possible, I’d also like to document the cultural relics that have been lost overseas. Those treasures may not be able to return to their homeland for the time being, but the stories that they carry are what we need to see.” 1．What can we learn about Wu Yunjie? A．He worked as a software engineer. B．He developed a mapping software. C．He had a deep interest in travelling.

D．Understood. 3．Why are a netizen’s words quoted in paragraph 4? A．To show the convenience of the map. B．To introduce how to use the map properly. C．To prove the map is believable and informative. D．To explain the meaning of different colors on the map. 4．What does Wu Yunjie plan to do? A．Include cultural relics lost overseas in his map. B．Bring cultural treasures back to China from abroad. C．Make the map perfect by adding dots of other colors. D．Solve technical problems and make money with the map. （23-24高一下·福建莆田·期末）Vietnam now has more than 40,000 historical relics. These relics of various forms and history are treasures for future generations. However, hundreds of relics are severely damaged due to the negative influence of time, war and human activities. Vietnamese cultural departments and activists have tried to preserve the historical and cultural relics in the country. Head of Hanoi Relics Management Board, Nguyen DoanTuan, says rescue work must preserve the relics’ soul: “We cannot replace ruined construction with new materials. We must preserve its shape, size and style. We need to pay attention to every brick replaced so that it looks exactly like the original.” Most relics have to rely on tourist fee for repair and rescue work. Director of Van Mieu Cultural and Science Center, Dang Kim Ngoc, says that the relics must be promoted widely to attract more visitors and bring in more income for repair and preservation: “We provide constant guide services for visitors so that they understand more about our relics. At the same time, a natural surrounding of the relic has been ensured, including the grass field and garden to improve its scenic value.” The local government agreed that the relics must be turned to the community for shared efforts in the preservation work. Director of Vietnam Revolution Museum DangQuoc Quan, said that the community must be guided in the preservation and protection, “The UNESCO aims to let local community take part in the preservation of relics. We have seen limitations in the preservation of relics, especially festival related groups of buildings. This requires management and guidance by the government.” Nguyen ThiMinh Ly from the Department of Heritage says the community should be guided in proper behaviors towards relics: “This will ensure the protection of cultural relics in later generations. Creative restoration must be based on previous values.” Experts have called for a systematic guidance by the state in local level preservation while promoting creative thinking in restoration for each relic. 1．Where is the passage most probably taken from?

She used to visit many lesser-known structures around the city. As an enthusiast, she enjoyed uncovering these hidden treasures and had always longed to make a meaningful contribution. When she grew up, Meera worked as a writer, focusing on topics related to forests and science. She initially pursued writing before discovering her true passion for heritage preservation. A key moment that redirected her career path was a visit to Devanahalli Fort. During her visit, she realized that there was a lack of information online about its history and heritage. The significance of this place was not only historical but also architectural. But there, she was shocked that it seemed as if no one even knew about it. To preserve the forgotten heritage, she joined INTACH, a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of unprotected architectural heritage all over India. There are thousands of monument s in the country protected by the government. However, there are also small temples, buildings, schools, and homes that hold historical significance but are ignored. Besides restoration and preservation, they host heritage talks to familiarize people with their city’s heritage. While they do welcome tourists and travelers, their emphasis on engaging the local population is evident. The organization also hosts several heritage walks to spread awareness about the hidden heritage. Also, the team starts from looking for a prospective building, then securing funding and then finding architects and engineers that are ideal for the project. In the past years, they have restored buildings in and around Bengaluru such as Mayo Hall, Tipu’s Armoury, Gangubai Hangal, Museum, the Old OPD Building at NIMHANS which is now a museum, the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru among others.

He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. Officially, UNESCO honors places that exemplify an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources —human and natural—upon which the industry is ultimately built”. There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless — or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these site s became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. 1．What can we learn about Castel del Monte? A．It was built to enjoy the view. B．It has become a hot tourist spot. C．It has to make way for a shopping mall. D．It failed to win UNESCO designation in 1996. 2．Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cuss” in paragraph 2? A．Solution. B．Promise. C．Drawback. D．Chance. 3．How does the author support King’s words in the last paragraph? A．By quoting experts. B．By analyzing cause and effect. C．By giving examples. D．By making comparisons. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Is UNESCO Helpful in Driving Global Tourism? B．How Can a Place Be Included in the UNESCO List? C．Why Is It Important to Market World Heritage Site Tours? D．Does Identifying World Heritage Sites Do More Harm Than Good? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 1 Cultural Heritage 单元话题阅读理解练习 （24-25高一上·辽宁大连·阶段练习）The British Museum’s rich collection of ancient Chinese paintings has attracted many visitors.

Mrs. Rawson was completely amazed by Qiu Jinxian’s incredible skills.(他们中的一些人甚至拿出相机来记录她的方法，因为他们从未见过这种修复古代艺术品的方法。劳森太太完全被邱锦仙令人难以置信的技巧惊呆了。)”可知，邱被认为是大英博物馆的珍宝是由于她有修理艺术品的独特技能。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The large collection of Chinese ancient paintings and cultural relics in the museum was mainly repaired by Japanese and British methods and materials. As these methods were not suitable for Chinese paintings, the art collection was kept in storage for a long time instead of on public display.(馆内收藏的大量中国古代绘画和文物，主要采用日本和英国的方法和材料进行修复。由于这些方法不适合中国画，这些艺术品收藏被长期保存而没有公开展出。)”可知，由于日本和英国修复文物的方法不适合中国画，所以藏品长期被存放而未公开展出；由此可知，中国艺术品处于被忽视的状态。故选D项。 3．词义猜测题。根据第四段中划线词所在句下文“Some of them even took out of the camera to record her methods as they’d never seen this way of restoring ancient art.

She wants more people to understand and appreciate Chinese history and culture through art.

The map was made by Wu Yunjie, who was born in the 1990s. Wu has a deep interest in cultural relics and history. When he was in college, he would often make use of his spare time to travel around the country, exploring and documenting ancient sites. In 2020, he started collecting information on cultural relic protection units and uploaded the data to the mapping software. As some of the information is not fully disclosed and many historical sites in far areas cannot be located specifically, Wu spent a lot of time on research and carrying out on-site visits. Now, the map includes nearly 10,000 historical landmarks with different colors standing for different kinds: Red signs show the cultural relic sites under state protection or the national-level museums, while green signs stand for the provincially protected historical sites. A lot of ancient temples, bridges and other architecture in the far areas are also marked on the map. A netizen posted, “I actually found the ancient tower around my house on the map!” However, in Wu’s eyes, the map is not perfect, as it recorded less than two percent of the over 760,000 immovable cultural relics registered in the country’s third national survey of cultural relics. But Wu has been working on improving it. “If possible, I’d also like to document the cultural relics that have been lost overseas. Those treasures may not be able to return to their homeland for the time being, but the stories that they carry are what we need to see.” 1．What can we learn about Wu Yunjie? A．He worked as a software engineer. B．He developed a mapping software. C．He had a deep interest in travelling. D．He was a young responsible netizen. 2．What does the underlined word “disclosed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Applied B．Spread. C．Discovered. D．Understood. 3．Why are a netizen’s words quoted in paragraph 4? A．To show the convenience of the map. B．To introduce how to use the map properly. C．To prove the map is believable and informative. D．To explain the meaning of different colors on the map. 4．What does Wu Yunjie plan to do? A．Include cultural relics lost overseas in his map. B．Bring cultural treasures back to China from abroad. C．Make the map perfect by adding dots of other colors. D．Solve technical problems and make money with the map. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。本文介绍了中国90后网民吴云杰利用业余时间绘制了一张包含大量国内历史遗迹和文化遗址的地图，旨在让更多人了解和关注中国的文化遗产。尽管这张地图仍有许多不足，但吴云杰已经计划继续完善它，并希望能将海外流失的文化遗产也纳入其中。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Chinese netizens recently expressed amazement at a map filled with thickly dotted signs clearly marking the country’s historic sites and cultural relics. The map was made by Wu Yunjie, who was born in the 1990s.(最近，中国网民对一幅地图表示惊讶，地图上布满了点状的标志，清楚地标出了中国的历史遗迹和文化遗迹。该地图由90后吴云杰绘制。)”可知，他开发了一个地图软件。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“many historical sites in far areas cannot be located specifically, Wu spent a lot of time on research and carrying out on-site visits.(许多偏远地区的历史遗迹无法具体定位，吴花了大量时间进行研究和实地考察。)”可知，许多偏远地区的历史遗迹无法具体定位，吴花了大量时间进行研究和实地考察，由此揭露了一些没有被完全发现的信息。故划线词与C选项“Discovered.(发现)”为同义词。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“A netizen posted, “I actually found the ancient tower around my house on the map!”(一位网友发帖称：“我竟然在地图上找到了我家附近的古塔！”)”可知，文中引用网民的话是为了证明这张地图的准确性和信息量，并能帮助人们找到附近的古迹，由此证明这张地图是可信和富有信息的。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“ “If possible, I’d also like to document the cultural relics that have been lost overseas. Those treasures may not be able to return to their homeland for the time being, but the stories that they carry are what we need to see.”(“如果可能的话，我还想记录那些在海外丢失的文物。这些宝藏可能暂时无法回到它们的祖国，但它们所承载的故事是我们需要看到的。”)”可知，文中最后一段提到吴云杰的计划，他表示如果可能的话，他还想记录那些流失海外的文化遗产。这表明他计划将海外文化遗产也纳入他的地图中。故选A。 （23-24高一下·福建莆田·期末）Vietnam now has more than 40,000 historical relics. These relics of various forms and history are treasures for future generations. However, hundreds of relics are severely damaged due to the negative influence of time, war and human activities. Vietnamese cultural departments and activists have tried to preserve the historical and cultural relics in the country. Head of Hanoi Relics Management Board, Nguyen DoanTuan, says rescue work must preserve the relics’ soul: “We cannot replace ruined construction with new materials. We must preserve its shape, size and style. We need to pay attention to every brick replaced so that it looks exactly like the original.” Most relics have to rely on tourist fee for repair and rescue work. Director of Van Mieu Cultural and Science Center, Dang Kim Ngoc, says that the relics must be promoted widely to attract more visitors and bring in more income for repair and preservation: “We provide constant guide services for visitors so that they understand more about our relics. At the same time, a natural surrounding of the relic has been ensured, including the grass field and garden to improve its scenic value.” The local government agreed that the relics must be turned to the community for shared efforts in the preservation work. Director of Vietnam Revolution Museum DangQuoc Quan, said that the community must be guided in the preservation and protection, “The UNESCO aims to let local community take part in the preservation of relics. We have seen limitations in the preservation of relics, especially festival related groups of buildings. This requires management and guidance by the government.” Nguyen ThiMinh Ly from the Department of Heritage says the community should be guided in proper behaviors towards relics: “This will ensure the protection of cultural relics in later generations. Creative restoration must be based on previous values.” Experts have called for a systematic guidance by the state in local level preservation while promoting creative thinking in restoration for each relic. 1．Where is the passage most probably taken from? A．A government report. B．A history research paper. C．A newspaper report. D．A travel guide. 2．According to Nguyen Doan Tuan, what is the key aspect of rescuing relics?

She used to visit many lesser-known structures around the city. As an enthusiast, she enjoyed uncovering these hidden treasures and had always longed to make a meaningful contribution. When she grew up, Meera worked as a writer, focusing on topics related to forests and science. She initially pursued writing before discovering her true passion for heritage preservation. A key moment that redirected her career path was a visit to Devanahalli Fort. During her visit, she realized that there was a lack of information online about its history and heritage. The significance of this place was not only historical but also architectural. But there, she was shocked that it seemed as if no one even knew about it. To preserve the forgotten heritage, she joined INTACH, a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of unprotected architectural heritage all over India. There are thousands of monument s in the country protected by the government. However, there are also small temples, buildings, schools, and homes that hold historical significance but are ignored. Besides restoration and preservation, they host heritage talks to familiarize people with their city’s heritage. While they do welcome tourists and travelers, their emphasis on engaging the local population is evident. The organization also hosts several heritage walks to spread awareness about the hidden heritage. Also, the team starts from looking for a prospective building, then securing funding and then finding architects and engineers that are ideal for the project. In the past years, they have restored buildings in and around Bengaluru such as Mayo Hall, Tipu’s Armoury, Gangubai Hangal, Museum, the Old OPD Building at NIMHANS which is now a museum, the Oriental Research Institute in Mysuru among others. They face many issues, with funding being the major challenge. However, she felt jammy enough to find enthusiastic individuals wanting to contribute as well as government funding here and there. 1．What does Meera truly love? A．Writing articles. B．Protecting heritage. C．Studying science. D．Exploring forests. 2．What made Meera surprised about Devanahalli Fort? A．It had such a long history. B．Its heritage was well protected. C．Its history and heritage were unknown. D．It was of great architectural importance. 3．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Meera and the team? A．Their advantages. B．Their efforts.

D．Familiar. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Meera在去Devanahalli Fort的旅行中发现网上缺少关于这个地方的历史与遗迹的信息，受此启发，她开始致力于修复和保护被忽视的历史遗迹。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段的“She initially pursued writing before discovering her true passion for heritage preservation.(她最初追求写作，后来才发现自己对遗产保护的真正热情)”可知，她真正的爱好是遗迹保护。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段的“During her visit, she realized that there was a lack of information online about its history and heritage. The significance of this place was not only historical but also architectural. But there, she was shocked that it seemed as if no one even knew about it.(在访问期间，她意识到网上缺乏关于其历史和遗产的信息。这个地方的意义不仅在于历史，而且在于建筑。但在那里，她感到震惊的是，似乎没有人知道这件事)”可知，网上缺少关于Devanahalli Fort历史与遗迹的信息，Devanahalli Fort有着重要的历史和建筑意义，但似乎没有人知道这个地方，对此她感到惊讶。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段的“Besides restoration and preservation, they host heritage talks to familiarize people with their city’s heritage. While they do welcome tourists and travelers, their emphasis on engaging the local population is evident. The organization also hosts several heritage walks to spread awareness about the hidden heritage. Also, the team starts from looking for a prospective building, then securing funding and then finding architects and engineers that are ideal for the project.(除了修复和保护，他们还举办遗产讲座，让人们熟悉他们城市的遗产。虽然他们确实欢迎游客和旅行者，但他们对吸引当地民众的重视是显而易见的。该组织还举办了几次遗产步行活动，以传播人们对隐藏遗产的认识。此外，该团队从寻找未来的建筑开始，然后获得资金，然后找到适合该项目的建筑师和工程师)”可知，本段主要介绍了Meera加入了致力于保护被忽略的历史遗迹的组织，除了修复和保护历史遗迹，他们还举办活动让人们了解这些历史遗迹。即，本段告诉我们为了保护历史遗迹INTACH这个机构团体以及Meera所做的努力。故选B。 4．词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“They face many issues, with funding being the major challenge.(他们面临许多问题，资金是主要挑战) ”可知，他们面临很多问题，筹资是主要困难。再根据表示转折的“However”可知，她感到非常幸运，因为可以得到个人和政府的捐助。所以划线单词的意思为“幸运的”。故选C。 （23-24高一下·辽宁·期中）In 1240, the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II built Castel del Monte on a lonely hill in central Puglia, where he had a perfect view of approaching enemies. He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. Officially, UNESCO honors places that exemplify an area’s ancestry, with the purpose of ensuring they are preserved. Unofficially, this designation is a kind of fairy dust that often turns little-known cultural sites into overnight tourist sensations. This is both a gift and a cuss. Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources —human and natural—upon which the industry is ultimately built”. There is growing awareness that assigning UNESCO designation is worthless — or worse, harmful — without some kind of follow-up preservation program. “In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these site s became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. 1．What can we learn about Castel del Monte? A．It was built to enjoy the view. B．It has become a hot tourist spot. C．It has to make way for a shopping mall. D．It failed to win UNESCO designation in 1996. 2．Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “cuss” in paragraph 2? A．Solution. B．Promise. C．Drawback. D．Chance. 3．How does the author support King’s words in the last paragraph? A．By quoting experts. B．By analyzing cause and effect. C．By giving examples. D．By making comparisons. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Is UNESCO Helpful in Driving Global Tourism? B．How Can a Place Be Included in the UNESCO List? C．Why Is It Important to Market World Heritage Site Tours? D．Does Identifying World Heritage Sites Do More Harm Than Good? 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是议论文。某地荣膺联合国教科文组织颁发的世界遗产地后往往会迎来众多游客的慕名参观，这对于保护该历史遗迹究竞是好是坏呢？世界遗产地在获得这一荣誉称号后究竟应该采取哪些应对措施才能切实保护历史文化呢？ 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“He probably never imagined the enemies might be tourists one day. But these days, the old castle has been polished clean, and hundreds of multicolored Pullman buses snake up the winding roads to its grounds, now filled with T-shirt stands, Coca-Cola signs and a 200-car parking lot. All this thanks to the fact that UNESCO has designated (认定) it a World Heritage Site in 1996. (他可能从来没有想到敌人有一天会是游客。但如今，这座古老的城堡已经被擦得干干正正，数百辆色彩斑斓的普尔曼巴士沿着蜿蜒的道路蜿蜒而上，驶往城堡的场地，现在到处都是t恤摊、可口可乐的招牌和一个可容纳200辆车的停车场。这一切都要归功于联合国教科文组织于1996年将其指定为世界遗产。)”可知，蒙特城堡现在已经成为一个热门旅游景点，每天参观的游客络绎不绝。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据后文“Lisa Mastny, senior adviser to the World Watch Institute, says tourism is double-edged for places considered of “outstanding value to humanity. It offers many poor communities the chance to obtain financial rewards, but also threatens the very resources —human and natural—upon which the industry is ultimately built”. ( 世界观察研究所高级顾问丽莎•马斯特尼表示，对于那些被认为“对人类有突出价值”的地方来说，旅游业是一把双刃剑。它为许多贫困社区提供了获得经济回报的机会，但也威胁到该行业最终建立的人力和自然资源。”)”可知，旅游既给当地带来收入，又对世界遗产地的人文和自然资源造成了破坏。由此可见，“旅游对于世界遗产地而言既是馈赠又有缺点。故划线词意思是“缺点”。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段““In the early days there wasn’t much attention given to what would happen once these site s became World Heritage. But that’s changing slowly,” says Joseph King, director of the sites unit at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM). In Africa, a 12-year training program is currently underway to teach locals not only how to preserve their immovable cultural heritage, but how to use it for economic development. In Eastern Europe, where tourism is a relatively new thing, cities are looking for help in figuring out where to draw the line between preserving historical centers and promoting urban development. (“在早期，人们并没有太关注这些遗址成为世界遗产后会发生什么。但这种情况正在缓慢改变，”国际文化财产保护与修复研究中心遗址部门主任约瑟夫·金说。在非洲，一个为期12年的培训项目正在进行中，该项目不仅教授当地人如何保护他们不可移动的文化遗产，还教授他们如何将其用于经济发展。在东欧，旅游业是一个相对较新的事物，城市正在寻求帮助，以弄清楚如何在保护历史中心和促进城市发展之间划清界限。)”可知，作者通过举例子来说明这种“变化”。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章前两段以蒙特城堡为例，讨论了某地荣膺联合国教科文组织颁发的世界遗产地称号后的利与弊：既带来了旅游收入，又对当地文化造成了破坏。最后一段讨论了一些地方逐渐开始意识到其中的弊端，并提出解决弊端的方法。故D项“认定世界遗产是否弊大于利？”作标题最能概括文意。故选D。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
