Ⅳ. 阅读理解 A （2025·湖南长沙一中高一检测）The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, or UNESCO, meets each year to choose the latest additions to its World Heritage List. Here, we look at some of the recent additions: Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture (Russia) A group of ancient structures in the city of Pskov make up Russia's newest UNESCO World Heritage Site. The structures, many of which are churches, were all designed by the Pskov School of Architecture. It was a leading school of building design in the country, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. Some elements common to Pskov architecture date back to the 11th century. Writing‑on‑Stone (Canada) Canada's Writing‑on‑Stone monument, known also as Åisinai'pi, has a large number of protected rock paintings and rock carvings. Some of them are 2,000 years old. The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States. The land that makes up Writing‑on‑Stone is filled with rock columns that have been formed by erosion into “spectacular shapes”. Babylon (Iraq) The ancient city of Babylon is gaining World Heritage Site status. The city was once a main tourist site before Iraq suffered several wars. The 4,300‑year‑old Babylon is where dynasties have risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilisation. UNESCO says the site “offers a look into one of the most influential empires of the ancient world”. Paraty and Ilha Grande (Brazil) The historic coastal town of Paraty and the island Ilha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazil's Rio de Janeiro state. Now, they make up a newly named UNESCO site. Paraty was the final stop along the Gold Route, along which gold was shipped to Europe in the 1600s. The area is also home to a huge number of animals, some of which are threatened. 1. What do we know about the group of ancient buildings in Pskov?     A. They are all churches.     B.

B (2025·福建泉州高一检测)Born in the coldest city in the world, Yakutsk in Siberia, Alex developed an interest in photography from a very young age when he would spend hours developing film in the darkness of his bathroom. When he was old enough to travel, he packed his bag, hit the road and has visited more than 84 countries since he began his journey. He began travelling around the world as a travel photographer, mainly taking photos of nature. After a few years he became more interested in people. He said, “While travelling the world, I realised that people were the most interesting part of my travel experience. I was most attracted by people living in far places, where the traditional lifestyle and ancient culture remained untouched by the outside world. I felt that life there had a close connection to the tradition of people.” Since then, he has begun a project called The World in Faces. He has travelled deep into Siberia and China, to places unknown by the outside world where the population of the locals are down to their last few hundred. He wants to tell their stories before it's too late. Alex feels that a lot of cultures are vanishing and wants to record them. “I believe that without cultural diversity our world will become faceless. Many of the world traditions that have been present for thousands of years have disappeared.” This project is also important to him because he wants to share the idea that we are all on the same side—we are all humans. Alex will continue to record these very unique people. For him, it is a job of love and necessity. 4. Why did Alex start the long journey? A. To make a film. B. To take photos of people. C.

The language is a highly developed high-pitched system of whistling to communicate in rugged areas where people mostly cannot see each other. It can allow people to communicate across great distances, up to 5 kilometres. Compared with other similar whistle languages in Spain's Canary Islands, in Mexico, or in Greek villages, it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary. This unusual form of communication, which dates from some 500 years ago, was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions. But 50 years ago, it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage under serious threat. For centuries, the language has been passed on from grandparents to parents, from parents to children. Now, though, many of its most proficient speakers who use their tongue, teeth and fingers are aging and all becoming physically weak. Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or in finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words, and in a few generations it may be gone for good. “Our bird language is very convenient and efficient for communicating across the valleys. It has many benefits over yelling, which is bad for our throats,” said Avni Kocek, head of the bird village. “Despite setbacks because of technology, bird language is still used by many of us. Whistle language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival.” Besides, the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instil the practice in younger generations. 8. What is the bird language's advantage over other similar whistle languages? A. It is used as a means of communication. B. It is older and has a larger number of users. C. It is a completely different system of whistling. D. It has a higher tone and larger vocabulary. 9. What's the biggest threat to the bird language? A. Other whistle languages are more effectively protected. B. The necessity to use it in everyday life is disappearing. C. Many of its most proficient speakers are growing old. D. Young people find it too difficult to learn well enough. 10. What's the effective measure so far taken to protect the bird language? A. It has become a subject at primary schools. B. Bird Language Festival is celebrated every month. C. Cellular mobile systems are not allowed in the area. D. All parents are required to transmit it to their children. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Celebrating the Bird Language Festival B. The Story of a Bird Language Speaker C. Preserving the Endangered Bird Language D. The Disappearance of Bird Language D (2024·河北石家庄高一检测) Civita, the Dying Town Some 120 kilometres north of Rome, street signs along the road tell drivers they're heading for “the dying town”—Civita di Bagnoregio. The village stands on a declining plateau. It has gone through landslides, earthquakes, and erosion since humans' first settlement about 2,500 years ago. Nowadays Civita has been reduced to only 90 by 150 metres. In the Middle Ages, the plateau was three times the size of today, and the population was over 3,000, yet the river surrounding Civita gradually made the town collapse from the bottom up. Since 1695, when a destructive earthquake took place in Civita, many people were forced to escape from their hometown, and the population there has never recovered. By the 1920s, there were merely 600 residents in the town. Currently, there are only about 10 residents. What a small population it has! The survival of Civita is uncertain. However, as the news that the town was about to disappear started to widely spread, more and more people wanted to visit it. Now up to 10,000 people visit Civita per day. And there is doubt as to whether it is dying. The flood of people and money leads to natives longing for the rescue of the town. Yet the actual situation in Civita is that there are no grocery stores, hardware, or convenience stores. People living there can only have access to a handful of restaurants and tourist shops. Besides, they have to get supplies through a narrow, 300-metre-long bridge that connects them to the outside world. Today, Civita is pursuing a UNESCO World Heritage designation, in order to earn official recognition of its landscape and adaptability to nature. Recently, the town presented a 242-page document to the UNESCO, hoping that it would help strengthen Civita's role as a site of historical and cultural significance. Also, Civita's UNESCO team plans to create tourist attractions in the surrounding towns. If Civita recovers successfully, other towns in the same situation could find a direction based on its experience. 12. What has made Civita become smaller? A. The inconvenient transport. B. The natural conditions. C. The settlement of humans. D. The decrease of the population. 13. Why do so many visitors flood in Civita every day? A. Because they want to rescue it. B. Because they are attracted by its scenery. C. Because they are interested in its natives. D. Because they want to catch the last chance to see it. 14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The stores in the town. B. The daily activities of the local people. C. The appearance of the town. D. The living conditions in the town. 15. Which word can best describe the possible future of Civita? A. Unchangeable. B. Hopeful. C. Disappointing. D. Doubtful.
