In this exam, we will explore how modern cities develop while preserving their precious cultural heritage. Let's start our journey through different language tasks.
一、微完形填空(本题共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Urban renewal has become a hot topic across China. When old neighborhoods give way to modern buildings, we often face a difficult 1______: progress or preservation? For Nanjing, a city with a 2,500-year history, this question is especially 2______.
Last year, I visited the renovated Laomendong area. What I saw 3______ my expectations. Instead of destroying all the old houses, the planners 4______ kept the traditional architecture while adding modern facilities. The grey bricks and wooden beams 5______ the charm of ancient Nanjing, while new cafes and bookstores brought 6______ energy to the area.
However, not all urban renewal projects are so 7______. In some places, valuable old buildings were demolished to make room for high-rises. Local residents felt 8______ when they saw their childhood homes disappear. "These buildings are not just stones and wood," an elderly man told me. "They carry our 9______ and memories."
Experts say that good urban renewal should be like a 10______ conversation between the past and the present. We should respect history rather than 11______ it completely. Each generation has the responsibility to 12______ cultural heritage for future generations.
The success of Laomendong shows that development and preservation can 13______. When we walk through its narrow streets, we can feel both the weight of history and the pulse of modern life. This is the kind of city we want to live in—a city that remembers its past 14______ looks forward to the future.
As young people, we have a role to play too. We can learn about our local history and share it with others. By doing so, we help ensure that our cultural roots will never be 15______ in the tide of urbanization.

Nanjing's Confucius Temple area has undergone many changes over the past decades. In the 1980s, it was a 16______ neighborhood with narrow streets and old houses. Most residents made a living by selling snacks and handicrafts. When the government decided to 17______ the area in the 1990s, many people were worried.
The planners faced a big challenge. They wanted to improve living conditions 18______ keep the area's cultural character. After months of research and discussion, they came up with a 19______ plan. Instead of building modern high-rises, they reconstructed the traditional buildings in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The project was not easy. Workers had to use traditional materials and techniques to 20______ the original appearance. They even invited old craftsmen to teach young workers how to make wooden windows and carve stone decorations. It took three years to 21______ the first phase of the project.
When the new Confucius Temple area opened in 1997, it was an immediate 22______. Tourists flocked to see the beautiful traditional buildings and enjoy the local snacks. Local residents were happy too—they now lived in 23______ houses with modern bathrooms and heating systems.

A
The Nanjing City Wall is one of the longest ancient city walls in the world. Built during the Ming Dynasty, it has stood for more than 600 years. However, like many ancient structures, it has suffered damage over time. In recent years, the government has launched a large-scale restoration project to protect this precious cultural heritage.
The restoration work is not as simple as it might seem. Workers must follow strict rules to ensure that the original appearance and structure of the wall are preserved. They use traditional materials such as grey bricks and lime mortar, and avoid using modern materials that could damage the wall.
One of the biggest challenges is finding enough old bricks. Many bricks were taken away over the years and used to build houses. To solve this problem, the government has launched a campaign to collect old bricks from local residents. So far, more than 200,000 bricks have been collected.
Another challenge is dealing with the plants that grow on the wall. While they add beauty to the wall, their roots can damage the bricks and mortar. Workers carefully remove the plants and treat the wall to prevent them from growing back.
The restoration project is expected to be completed by 2030. When finished, the Nanjing City Wall will be fully restored to its former glory. It will continue to stand as a symbol of Nanjing's long and rich history.
26. When was the Nanjing City Wall built?
A. During the Tang Dynasty B. During the Song Dynasty
C. During the Ming Dynasty D. During the Qing Dynasty
27. What is the main challenge in restoring the Nanjing City Wall?
A. Finding enough workers B. Finding enough old bricks
C. Dealing with modern pollution D. Getting support from local residents
28. Why do workers carefully remove plants from the wall?
A. Because they make the wall look ugly
B. Because their roots can damage the wall
C. Because they attract too many insects
D. Because they block the view of tourists
29. When will the restoration project be completed?
A. By 2025 B. By 2030 C. By 2035 D. By 2040
30. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of the Nanjing City Wall
B. The challenges of restoring ancient buildings
C. The government's efforts to protect the Nanjing City Wall
D. The importance of cultural heritage preservation
B
The concept of "micro-renewal" has become popular in Chinese cities in recent years. Unlike large-scale demolition and reconstruction, micro-renewal focuses on making small improvements to existing neighborhoods. It aims to improve living conditions while preserving the original character of the area.
One successful example of micro-renewal is the Wulaocun neighborhood in Nanjing. Built in the 1950s, the neighborhood was in poor condition. The buildings were old, the streets were narrow, and there were no public spaces. However, instead of demolishing the neighborhood, the government decided to carry out micro-renewal.
The project included several improvements. Workers repaired the old buildings, widened the streets, and added new public spaces such as parks and community centers. They also preserved many of the original trees and plants. The whole project took only six months and cost much less than a full reconstruction.
Today, Wulaocun is a beautiful and lively neighborhood. Residents are happy with the changes. "Our neighborhood looks much better now," said one elderly resident. "We have new parks where we can exercise and chat with our neighbors. And the best part is that we didn't have to move away."
Micro-renewal has many advantages over traditional urban renewal. It is cheaper, faster, and causes less disruption to residents' lives. Most importantly, it preserves the cultural heritage and social networks of the neighborhood. As more cities adopt this approach, we can expect to see more neighborhoods like Wulaocun in the future.
31. What is the main difference between micro-renewal and traditional urban renewal?
A. Micro-renewal is more expensive B. Micro-renewal focuses on small improvements
C. Micro-renewal involves large-scale demolition D. Micro-renewal takes longer to complete
32. When was the Wulaocun neighborhood built?
A. In the 1940s B. In the 1950s C. In the 1960s D. In the 1970s
33. Which of the following was NOT included in the Wulaocun micro-renewal project?
A. Repairing old buildings B. Widening streets
C. Building new high-rises D. Adding public spaces
34. What is one advantage of micro-renewal?
A. It makes neighborhoods more modern B. It allows residents to stay in their homes
C. It attracts more tourists to the area D. It increases the value of properties
35. What is the author's attitude towards micro-renewal?
A. Positive B. Negative C. Neutral D. Uncertain
C
The preservation of intangible cultural heritage is just as important as the preservation of tangible heritage. Intangible cultural heritage includes things like traditional music, dance, art, crafts, and festivals. These are the living traditions that make each culture unique.
Nanjing is home to many forms of intangible cultural heritage. One of the most famous is Nanjing Yunjin, a type of brocade fabric that has a history of more than 1,500 years. Yunjin is known for its beautiful patterns and high quality. It was once used to make clothes for emperors and nobles.
However, like many traditional crafts, Yunjin is facing the risk of disappearing. The process of making Yunjin is complex and time-consuming. It takes years of training to become a skilled Yunjin weaver. As young people are more interested in modern jobs, there are fewer and fewer people learning this ancient craft.
To address this problem, the government has taken several measures. In 2006, Nanjing Yunjin was added to the first national list of intangible cultural heritage. The government has also set up training centers to teach young people how to make Yunjin. In addition, designers are finding new ways to use Yunjin in modern fashion and products. Thanks to these efforts, Yunjin is experiencing a revival. More and more people are becoming interested in this beautiful traditional craft. It is now not only a symbol of Nanjing's cultural heritage but also a popular fashion item around the world.
36. What is Nanjing Yunjin?
A. A type of traditional music B. A type of brocade fabric
C. A traditional dance D. A type of ancient architecture
37. Why is Yunjin facing the risk of disappearing?
A. Because it is too expensive to make
B. Because young people are not interested in learning it
C. Because there is no demand for it anymore
D. Because it has been replaced by modern fabrics
38. When was Nanjing Yunjin added to the national list of intangible cultural heritage?
A. In 2005 B. In 2006 C. In 2007 D. In 2008
39. Which of the following measures has the government taken to protect Yunjin?
A. Banning the use of Yunjin in modern products
B. Setting up training centers for young weavers
C. Reducing the price of Yunjin products
D. Closing down old Yunjin factories
40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of Nanjing Yunjin
B. The importance of intangible cultural heritage
C. The challenges facing traditional crafts
D. The efforts to preserve Nanjing Yunjin

阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填写表格(每空限填一词)。
Urban Renewal and Cultural Heritage Preservation in Nanjing
Nanjing, one of China's ancient capitals, has a history of more than 2,500 years. Over the past few decades, the city has undergone rapid urbanization. However, unlike many other cities that have sacrificed cultural heritage for development, Nanjing has found a balance between urban renewal and cultural preservation.
Successful Projects
1. Laomendong Historical and Cultural Block
Laomendong is an old neighborhood located in the south of Nanjing. In the past, it was a poor and crowded area with narrow streets and old houses. In 2010, the government launched a renewal project for the area. Instead of demolishing all the old buildings, the planners kept the traditional architecture and added modern facilities. The project was completed in 2013. Today, Laomendong is a popular tourist attraction that combines traditional culture with modern life.
2. Nanjing City Wall Restoration
The Nanjing City Wall is one of the longest ancient city walls in the world. Built during the Ming Dynasty, it has stood for more than 600 years. However, over time, parts of the wall were damaged. In 2014, the government launched a large-scale restoration project. Workers used traditional materials and techniques to repair the wall. The project is expected to be completed by 2030.
3. Wulaocun Micro-Renewal
Wulaocun is a neighborhood built in the 1950s. In 2019, the government carried out a micro-renewal project in the area. Instead of demolishing the old buildings, workers made small improvements such as repairing the buildings, widening the streets, and adding public spaces. The project was completed in just six months and cost much less than a full reconstruction.
Challenges and Solutions
Despite these successes, Nanjing still faces challenges in cultural heritage preservation. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of awareness among some people. Many people do not understand the importance of cultural heritage and do not take part in preservation efforts. To solve this problem, the government has launched educational campaigns to raise public awareness.
Another challenge is the shortage of funds. Cultural heritage preservation is expensive, and the government cannot afford to pay for everything. To address this issue, the government has encouraged private investment in cultural heritage projects. Many companies have donated money to support restoration work.
Conclusion
Nanjing's experience shows that urban renewal and cultural heritage preservation can go hand in hand. By respecting history and adopting creative approaches, cities can develop while preserving their cultural identity. This is a lesson that other cities around the world can learn from.
