Ⅰ.阅读理解

When we hear the word “pyramid” there is little doubt that Egypt and the desert come to mind.Did you know,however,that continents and oceans away—in what is today Central America and Mexico—people also built pyramids? While they look somewhat different from the ones we see in Egypt,they also were built with great skill.
The pyramids of Central America were built by the Mayan (玛雅) and Aztec (阿芝台克) peoples,as well as other smaller groups.Both Mayan and Aztec cultures built pyramids for their gods.They thought that building higher pyramids would allow them to get close to heaven.These cultures believed that the gods were found in nature.One of the most important gods was the sun.Many of the pyramids were for their sun god.At the top of the pyramids they built temples to make the gods happier.However,pyramids were not used only for their gods.
Before Europeans came to the area in the 1500s,many of the cultures of the Americas,such as the Mayan and Aztec,had much knowledge about mathematics and astrology.They thought that the night sky could be used as a mirror to explain many aspects of life,which is the reason why they studied it carefully.The temples on top of the pyramids were also used as places for watching the skies.The Mayas had a solid understanding of the movement of stars and planets.This helped them understand the seasons.They were the first to create a 365day calendar.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了除了埃及,中美洲的玛雅人和阿芝台克人也建造了金字塔,他们建造金字塔是为了他们的神和研究天空。

Petra may be the treasure of the world,hidden among mountains.Its most beautiful scenery makes it the greatest ancient site stillstanding nowadays.Common sense says,“Perhaps there's nothing on the planet that resembles it.”Without doubt,there's nothing on the world that resembles it.The rockcarved (雕刻的) rosered town of Petra is filled with mysterious charm; it had been“designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”.
Petra is the most wellknown and beautiful site in Jordan that is about 262 km south of Amman,and 133 km north of Aqaba.The Dead Sea is 80 kilometers north of it.It was the legacy from the Nabataeans,who settled in the southwest of Jordan a lot more than 2,000 years back.Because of its excellent culture,buildings and many water channels,Petra has become a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and attracts visitors all over the world.
To get there,you must pass through a kilometer long,cool,dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) whose two high sides keep the sunlight out.Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra's most wellknown monuments (遗址),which glow in the bright sun.The old town shows the visitors its beautiful look.It leads people to think about the creativity of the Nabataeans who made Petra as their capital.
Petra flourished for more than 400 years at about the time of Rome until it had been occupied through the Roman legions in 106 AD.Petra has 800 monuments,including buildings,tombs,baths,halls,temples,and streets,which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone.
Petra sights are in their finest at the beginning of morning and late afternoon.Once the sun warms the colorful stones,you will see the greatness of Petra since it was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost through the 16th century for nearly 300 years!

The newly added sites were reviewed (评审) by more than 130 experts.They spread around Shaanxi,Henan,Hunan,Hebei and Jiangsu Provinces,including nearly 800 pieces of ancient architecture and over 500 ancient ruins. 2
In an interview,the head of the SACH said that new types of cultural relics sites have been newly listed to get protection at first,including industrial relics,rural architecture and cultural landscapes. 3 For example,some are in the North China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Despite great achievements during the years of effort,problems still exist. 4 Historic relics get stolen and antiques are taken abroad secretly.
The head of the SACH says that people have faced a challenge to the protection of cultural relics for a long time.So,balancing the relationship between economic development and protection of history is important. 5 He also used good examples of protection,describing how some cultural relics sites have become education bases for young people and popular tourist places,where a lot of people spend their holiday.
