Listening and Speaking Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025云南大理高一期中) UNESCO has added 26 new sites to its annual World Heritage List,which features diverse historical,cultural,and natural landmarks.UNESCO is run by the United Nations (group of 193 nations) and designates places of “outstanding universal value to humanity” as World Heritage Sites.UNESCO provides financial and other support to the sites so they can be preserved,repaired,and protected for future generations to enjoy. Among the sites listed for 2024 is Lençóis Maranhenses National Park in Brazil.Known for its vast white sand dunes,the park covers nearly 600 square miles. During the rainy season,lagoons form in the dunes,creating a stunning landscape that draws visitors from around the globe. Also added was Phu Phra Bat Historical Park in Thailand.The park is famous for its unique rock formations,ancient art,and petroglyphs (rock engravings),which provide valuable insights into early human life and religion.Another addition,Via Appia Antica or the “Appian Way” in Rome,Italy,is the earliest and most significant road built by ancient Romans.The Cultural Landscape of Kenozero Lake,in Russia,includes 12th-century wooden churches and other buildings that symbolize a connection to nature. There are now 1,223 World Heritage sites in 168 countries,including the Grand Canyon in the US,the pyramids of Egypt,and the Taj Mahal in India.When a place is added to the list,tourism and the economy in the area often get a boost.In a statement,UNESCO said the new additions will now “benefit from the highest level of heritage protection in the world”. 1.How does UNESCO help protect universally valuable landmarks in a way? A.By reporting to the UN. B.By listing their nationalities. C.By providing financial support. D.By adding scenic spots to them. 2.What do we know about the newly-added site in Southeast Asia?

Even though the buildings in Sana’a are thousands of years old,the ancient structures are still inhabited today and most remain private houses.It is easy to see why these mud buildings have not lost their appeal — they are well-insulated(隔热的),sustainable and extremely adaptable for modern use.“It is the architecture of the future,” says Damluji,co-founder of the Mud Brick Architecture Foundation. Architects around the world are reviving(复兴) raw-earth construction as they seek to construct sustainable buildings that can survive extreme weather events such as flash floods and intense heat.Could this ancient form of architecture influence the design of our future homes? The construction industry accounts for 38% of global carbon dioxide emissions.The building sector has an important role to play if the world is to meet the goal of reaching net zero by 2050.Concrete,a common modern construction material,has a huge carbon footprint.Replacing concrete with less polluting materials is important to achieving our climate goals,scientists warn. The ancient material,mud,could be the perfect sustainable replacement for concrete,according to Damluji.Constructing with mud has a very low impact on the environment and the material itself is fully recyclable.She says,“If you want to pull down a wall or change the design,you can recycle all the materials.” An added benefit is that mud buildings are warm in the winter and cool in the summer.This reduces the need for air conditioning units,which consume large amounts of electricity and contain refrigerants (制冷剂) that make up greenhouse gas emissions.Mud structures are also incredibly strong and resistant to extreme weather,such as heatwaves,floods and droughts,which scientists say will become more frequent and intense as temperatures continue to rise. Therefore,people who wish to live in a modern,comfortable home should consider one made of mud.Overall,it makes for highly advanced as well as sustainable design. 5.What can we learn about mud materials according to the passage? A.They can reduce the chance of extreme weather events. B.They can be ideal for sustainable construction of the future. C.They might produce a lot of greenhouse gas emissions. D.They might cause substantial temperature changes. 6.What can be inferred from the passage? A.Mud might be an important solution to the climate crisis. B.Rebuilding mud construction would take great efforts. C.Mud has become architects’ favourite building material. D.The mud buildings in Sana’a are no longer suitable to live in. 7.What’s the author’s attitude towards raw-earth construction in the building industry? A.Cautious.　　　　　 B.Indifferent. C.Critical. D.Supportive. 8.What might be the best title of the passage? A.Historic Cities Mark Human Civilization B.Construction Industry Threatens Climate Goals C.Modern Architecture Survives Extreme Weather D.Ancient Material Makes for Future House Designs Ⅱ.七选五 (2025江苏盐城高一期中) In recent years,traditional Chinese clothing has become increasingly popular in China.This is especially true amongst members of the younger generation. More and more Chinese youth are advocating the revival of traditional Chinese clothing,known as hanfu.　1　 Nowadays,it is not uncommon to see a group of Chinese teenagers or young adults wearing traditional clothing while ordering a bubble tea and strolling around in the downtown areas of major cities.They now view traditional clothes as a way to showcase the beauty of Chinese history and culture.  　2　 For example,many women choose to wear the qipao for formal dinners and Chinese New Year galas and qipaos are also sometimes used as professional uniforms for workers in the high-end hospitality industry.  Many creative artists and designers working in the world of haute couture (高级定制) have created designs that use various international styles,using traditional Chinese clothing as inspiration.　3　 Some famous haute couture designers who include traditional Chinese elements in their designs are Laurence Xu,Guo Pei,and Huishan Zhang.Even some Western fashion houses have created collections entirely inspired and influenced by Chinese embroidery (刺绣) and imperial designs.　4　  Fashion repeats itself.Despite the ever-changing trends within the fashion industry,more people in China are looking back to the traditional dress of their ancestors in order to honor their heritage and bring back a touch of ancient charm to our modern,digitalized world.　5　  A.Gradually,people wear different clothes to indicate their identity. B.Traditional clothing is also a popular choice for more formal occasions. C.Some have even begun to wear these styles in everyday leisure activities. D.This further highlights the global appeal and influence of Chinese fashion. E.The qipao,also known as the cheongsam,has its origins in the Qing Dynasty. F.They say unearthing trends from hundreds of years ago is the new way forward. G.This redefines “made in China” by shifting focus from mass production to haute couture.
