These case studies will deepen the understanding of the links between ICH and environmental sustainability,and inform future policies and practices in heritage protection and climate action. Focus of the Case Studies: Submitted case studies should address one or more of the following questions in detail: What roles does ICH play in identifying,assessing and monitoring climate change? 第4页共12页 .What roles does ICH play in promoting communities'adaptation and safeguarding against climate change? .What roles does ICH play in reducing carbon emissions()and disaster risk? .What are the cultural,social and economic impacts and risks to ICH practice, transmission (and safeguarding due to climate change? .What changes to ICH are required for adaptation to climate change? What are local and regional strategies for safeguarding ICH in the context of climate change? The case studies should be grounded in evidence-based research and involve the widest possible participation of the community,groups or individuals.They should highlight the links between cultural diversity and environmental sustainability and offer locally-suited solutions for sustainable development. Submission Details: The case studies should be written in English and between 3,000 and 5,000 words in length.All submissions are to be sent to beijing.culture@unesco.org before April 15th, 舒 2025.Authors of selected case studies may have the opportunity to participate in publications or international conferences. 如 39.Why is UNESCO calling for case studies?

D.To raise funds for ICH protection. 40.Which of the following is a focus of the case studies? A.ICH's role in evaluating climate change B.ICH's economic value for communities. C.Global strategies to safeguard ICH 和 D.Carbon emissions'effects on ICH 杯 41.The case studies to be submitted should A.cover all the listed questions 1 B.maximize public participation 阳 C.be based on personal opinions D.be written in Chinese or English B Chinook salmon and their habitats in Seattle's Thornton Creek suffered severely due to urban expansion causing flash floods and biodiversity loss.Despite restoration efforts,the once abundant salmon all but disappeared.During a conference,biologist Katherine Chinook salmon Lynch proposed rebuilding the creek's missing "liver" damaged by urbanization. Lynch has been studying the hyporheic zone,a layer of wet sediment(沉积物)， small stones and tiny creatures beneath the streambed.It facilitates water mixing and oxygen delivery to salmon eggs,earning the nickname "liver of the river."The disappearance of this zone threatens the health of waterways.Lynch recognized that, 第5页共12页 however,most restoration efforts in Seattle overlooked it or disconnected it from the surface water. Teamed with engineer Mike Hrachovec,Lynch redesigned Thornton Creek.They strategically put logs into the water at precise angles to create tiny waterfalls and nearly still water pockets,generating hydraulic pressure to force water down into the hyporheic zone.These accurately placed logs and rocks,known as "hyporheic structures,"also create pockets of slow water that provide safe shelters for juvenile fish-all meant to emulate features of a natural stream.Subsequent data analysis confirmed the stream functioned as Lynch's team-and nature-intended. But was the stream also supporting life?Given that the stone and sand positioned were sterile (teritory,Lynch thought that a biological jumpstart might be necessary and that the retum of life to restored creeks relied on organisms migrating from healthy upstream habitats.So her team tried another ground-breaking move: inoculating(接种)the engineered hyporheic zone with microbes(微生物)，which quickly populated the areas.But even though the number of individuals was high,the biodiversity was relatively low.A 2021 study by stream ecologist Sarah Morley noted that while a few of the new species grew rapidly,most were similar to those in unrestored section.Scientists are exploring reasons for the limited survival of introduced species,and because this science is so new,they have not ruled out any potential explanations:differences in the donor stream,size of the restored area,or poor water quality.They might have inoculated the hyporheic too soon,before essential vegetation could establish. The Thornton Creek restorations have successfully prevented neighbourhood flooding,even during heavy storms,and stabilized the stream's flow.Most notably, Chinook salmon returned to lay eggs in the restored hyporheic zones,touching Lynch deeply.She recalls,"this success suggests that small urban creek restorations can revitalize functioning ecosystems. 42.What does the underlined word "emulate"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.Record. B.Copy.C.Monitor. D.Transform. 43.What can be inferred about the microbial inoculation in Thornton Creek? A.It introduced essential vegetation. B.It restored the original biodiversity. C.It increased the total quantity of microbes D.It sourced microbes from downstream habitats. 44.What can we learn from Lynch's restoration project? A.It focused on increasing water oxygen levels. B.It recreated the conditions of the donor stream. C.It removed human-made structures from the creek. D.It combined physical redesign with bio -intervention. 45.Which would be the best title for this passage? A.To Revive a River,Restore Its Liver B.Urbanization:A Silent Killer of a River C.Chinook Salmon Boost the Diversity of Ecosystems D.What Makes the Hyporheic Zone Vital for Restoration? 第6页共12页 C In an era of big research,having confidence in scientists,individually or collectively,involves trade-offs.Science is ideally built on evidence but in reality,for most people,it is based on trust.Scientific evidence is hard to access.Journals are difficult to get and their articles,written in specialised language,are only understandable to a few field experts.So,we trust experts'results without being able to question them ourselves,believing that if needed,someone knowledgeable will. Historically,the reputation of individual scientists has been important in facilitating the spread of scientific theories and discoveries.If a scientist is,or can appear to be, trustworthy,so might that scientist's ideas. This can lead to odd consequences.Recognisable scientists receive more credit and trust,while unrecognisable scientists often have their work overlooked.The history of science is filled with cases where basic papers written by relatively unknown scientists were neglected for years.Consider the case of Joseph Fourier,whose classic paper on 舒 the propagation of heat had to wait 13 years to be published. 如 Since recognisable scientists receive disproportionate(不成比例的)credit,.their names become disproportionately tied to discoveries.Statistics professor Stephen 的 Stigler formulated "Stigler's law of eponymy”(斯蒂格勒命名法则)，stating no scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer.For instance,Pythagoras 长 wasn't the first to discover the Pythagorean theorem,nor was Edwin Hubble the first to 將 formulate Hubble's law. 区 However,modemn science operates differently.Large collaborative（合作的) projects often produce papers with hundreds of authors.The record for the number of authors on a single scientific paper is currently 5,154.Furthermore,an editorial board 杯 舒 composed of project group members actually wrote the papers.The papers were then 杯 placed on an electronic bulletin board for criticism and comment by all.Some massive collaborative projects constantly maintain author lists of hundreds of names,which are 射 1 automatically submitted on every publication. If we can't identify the thousands in big science projects or know their actual authors,who do we trust?I'd say we trust"science"itself regardless of the individual scientists'integrity.We trust the organisations that are considered scientific.Any clickbait news articles with "Science Says"in the title show this shift from trusting individuals to trusting the scientific enterprise. This shift to trusting "science"itself has risks.Misidentifying experts or tusting dishonest ones can abuse scientific credibility.A striking example is Merchants of Doubt,where experts hid truths about acid rain and global warming.Authorship,then, serves one last function,which in some cases only benefits the historian like me: accountability. 46.What is the passage mainly about? A.The moral issues in scientific authorship and accountability. B.The role of individual scientists in modern scientific research 第7页共12页 C.The evolution of trust in science from individuals to enterprises. D.The challenges of confirming scientific evidence in the digital age. 47.Why is "Stigler's law of eponymy"mentioned? A.To justify an argument. B.To introduce an approach. C.To challenge a convention. D.To evaluate an assumption 48.According to the passage,the author may agree that A.modern science collaboration challenges the trust in individual scientists B.the current trend of trusting science overlooks scientists'sacrifices C.authorship ought to be founded upon intellectual contributions D.it is vital to identify the authors of large-scale science projects 49.What is the author's attitude towards the shift to trusting science itself? A.Sympathetic.B.Cautious C.Disapproving D.Puzzled 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。 Humans have long tried to conquer water.We've straightened once-winding rivers for shipping puposes.We've constructed levees (along rivers and lakes to protect people from flooding.We've erected entire cities on drained and filled-in wetlands.We've built dams on rivers to store water for later use. 50 But it's not,argues environmental journalist Erica Gies,author of Water Always Wins.Levees,which narrow channels causing water to flow higher and faster, nearly always break.Cites on former wetlands flood regularly-often disastrously. Dams starve downstream areas of sediment (needed to protect coasts against rising seas.Straightened streams move faster than winding ones,giving water less time to flow downward.And they wash away riverbed ecosystems. In addition to laying out this damage done by supposed water control,Gies takes readers on a hopeful global tour of solutions to these problems.Along the way,she introduces "water detectives"-scientists,engineers,urban planners,and many others. 51 These water detectives have found ways to give the slippery substance the time and space it needs to flow slowly underground.Around Seattle's Thornton Creek,for instance,reclaimed land now allows for regular flooding,which has renewed riverbed habitat and created an urban oasis.In California's Central Valley,scientists want to find ways to move unpolluted storm water into subsurface valleys that make ideal aquifers (含水层).52 While some people are exploring new ways to manage water,others are leaning on ancient knowledge.Researchers in Peru are now studying old-style methods of water storage,which don't require dams,in hopes of ensuring a steady flow of water to Lima-Peru's populous capital that's periodically affected by water shortage.53 "Decision makers come from a culture of concrete,"Gies writes,"in which dams,pipes 第8页共12页 and desalination factories are standard." Understanding how to work with,not against,water will help humankind weather this age of drought and flood that's being worsened by climate change.54 Instead, we must learn to live within our water means because water will undoubtedly win. A.Controlling water,Gies convincingly argues,is a false belief. B.Instead of trying to control water,they ask:What does water want? C.It seems that water is cooperative and willing to flow where we direct it. D.These old-style underwater concrete techniques pave the way for the construction of dams E.To further understand the whole ecosystem,they believe effective water control requires effort. F.The study may help convince those who favor concrete-centric solutions to try 舒 something new. O 如 G.Feeding groundwater supplies will in turn sustain rivers from below,which helps to maintain water levels and ecosystems. 的 第四部分：基础知识（共2节，共21分） 长 第一节单词拼写（请用一、二、三单元学过的单词完成，每题1分，共11分） 將 55.This course is specifically designed for a learners who have mastered basic grammar and need to study academic writing 56.

The foundation of self-esteem is largely laid in childhood,where early experiences with family,peers,and mentors play an important role.Children who are praised for their efforts (not just achievements),treated with respect,and shown consistent affection often develop a secure sense of self-worth.Positive feedback from teachers or excelling in hobbies can reinforce the belief that they are capable and deserving of love, regardless of specific accomplishments.In contrast,individuals with low self-esteem often faced criticism,neglect,or emotional abuse in childhood,leading them to believe they must be perfect to earn validation.Being mocked for mistakes or bullied by peers further ingrains the idea that their worth depends on external approval,prompting adults to overachieve,pretend to be someone else,or fear failure.Childhood experiences, whether supportive or neglectful,determine whether adults develop secure self-worth or rely on others'approval.Thus,they are very important in a person's self-esteem. Self-esteem profoundly influences daily life in countless ways.Those with high self-esteem tend to build healthier relationships,as they feel secure enough to ask for help and set boundaries.They pursue goals with confidence,viewing challenges as a learning curve rather than a reflection of their value,and accept both flaws and strengths 第10页共12页 as part of their identity.Conversely,low self-esteem can lead to self-blame and avoid challenges out of fear of not being good enough. Nurturing self-esteem is essential for overall well-being,even for those with difficult childhoods.Start by examining your self-talk:notice when you criticize or doubt yourself,and replace those thoughts with compassion.Practices like journaling, positive self-encouragement,or seeking support from others can help rewrite negative narratives.Remember:recognizing your inherent worth is a lifelong journey,but the first step acknowledging that you deserve kindness and happiness-can transform how you interact with the world 71.What is self-esteem according to the passage? 72.Why do childhood experiences influence a person's self-esteem? 73.Please decide which part is false in the following statement,then underline it and 龄 explain why.
