And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL) (世界遗产名录). But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let's look at a few of them.Robben Island in South AfricaThis island was used through the centuries as a prison，a hospital and a military base. But it's probably most famous as a maximum­security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents “the victory of democracy (民主) and freedom over oppression and racism (种族主义)”．Borders of France and SpainThis is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.The city of Brasilia, BrazilBrasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a landmark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planer and architect (建筑师)．Simien National Park, EthiopiaSimien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978. It is one of the highest mountain areas in Africa, and the WHL calls it “one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world”. It is also important for its wildlife. The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.21．The passage mainly talks about ________.A．the remains of ancient cultures on the WHLB．the household heritage sites on the WHLC．some of the not so obvious sites on the WHLD．places of artistic or cultural importance22．The WHL has listed Borders of France and Spain probably because ________.A．it shows us past European society through the type of agricultureB．this is an area of great natural beautyC．the mountains there have many interesting geological formationsD．people there still use a type of agriculture that is common in Europe in modern times23．Which of the following sites was listed on the WHL for its political symbol?A．Simien National Park，Ethiopia. B．The city of Brasilia，Brazil.C．Borders of France and Spain. D．Robben Island in South Africa.BMichael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old. As is known to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one.Michael remembered those early years when he was young. “My father was a machine operator，” he explained, “and he worked at a steel plant. My mother worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians.”Michael's father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best.Practice makes perfect. And they practised! Gradually the group took shape. Then word of this group began to get around. Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo (独唱) songs. In the following years, Michael was always on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million!When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career (生涯)—acting. “I plan to star in movies，” he told his friends, “but of course, my first love is music.”Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. “Songs came about in the strangest ways，” he said. “I'll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head. And then I put it down on the paper. ”Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. “I just do a different job from other people，” he said, “but it doesn't make me think I'm better than other people.”To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him!24．What can we know from the text?A．Michael Jackson's parents enjoyed music a lot.B．Michael's mother worked in a factory when he was young.C．Michael's father spent a lot of time in drinking.D．Michael began to earn money when he was only four years old.25．What did Joe Jackson realize?A．His children didn't need much practice.B．His children had little talent for being musicians.C．His children couldn't become famous if they weren't the best.D．There were a small number of music groups in those days.26．Which of the following is true?A．All of Michael's songs were written by other people.B．Michael thought that he was much more clever than others.C．Michael began to act in films when he was five years old.D．A great number of New Zealanders bought a record of Michael's.27．What's the main idea of the text?A．Why Michael was so popular all over the world.B．How the Jacksons became successful.C．How Mr. Jackson trained his children.D．How Michael became so popular all over the world.CMusic for Humans and Humpback WhalesAs researchers conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species, but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain, and is far more ancient than previously suspected.In the articles that discuss the field of bio­musicology, the study of the biological basis for the creation and appreciation of music, researchers present various evidence to show that music­making is at once an original human “business”， and an art from with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom.The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in­depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge_on_ the same choices relating to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere.For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length­a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals, rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so­called A­B­A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form.Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. “This suggests that whales use rhyme in the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex material，” the researchers write.28．The underlined phrase “converge on” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.A．tend towards B．refer toC．turn into D．put forward29．Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales?A．They can remember complex material.B．They can create pleasing patterns of music.C．They can make sounds like drums continuously.D．They can sing along with rhythms of western music.30．What is the main idea of the article?A．Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans.B．Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales.C．Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom.D．Music­making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals.31．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A．argue and discuss B．inform and explainC．compare and advertise D．examine and assessDNo one is sure where and when the expression “apple­pie order” began. It's said that the housewives of New England liked to cut their apples in pieces. Then they filled pie pans with them in an organised way, row upon row. As one writer said, the women of New England loved to have everything in its place. This perhaps explains why it is generally believed that “apple­pie order” began in New England.Another old expression, “apple of discord”， comes from ancient myth (神话), however. The myth says that all the gods and goddesses were sitting around the table to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. One of the goddesses—Eris was a troublemaker. She threw a golden apple on the table to be given as a prize to the most beautiful goddess. It was not an easy decision to make. How could they choose among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite? Paris was given the task of deciding. He decided to give the golden apple to Aphrodite. Hera and Athena were very angry and threatened him. This, the myth says, began the long Trojan War.At one time, the tomato was called a love apple. That was a mistake. In the sixteenth century, Spain brought the tomato from South America. Spain then sold the tomato to Morocco. Italian traders carried it on to Italy. The Italian name for the tomato was “pomo di Moro”—apple of the Moors. When French growers brought it in from Italy, they thought “di Moro” meant “d'amour”—the French word for love. And so “ pomo di Moro” became the apple of love.People believe many things about the apple. One belief is that it has great power of keeping people healthy. A very common expression is “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”Another belief is based on fact. The expression is “One rotten apple spoils the barrel.” When an apple begins to go bad, it ruins all the other apples around it in the box. The expression has come to mean that one bad person in a group can cause everyone to act badly.32．Which of the following is TRUE about the phrase “apple­pie order”？A．It began in New England. B．Nobody's sure where and when it began.C．Everyone is sure where it began. D．It has been put into use recently.33．What's the meaning of “apple of discord”？A．Cause of disagreement. B．Situation of danger.C．Everything in agreement. D．Everything in good order.34．What's the purpose of the third paragraph?A．To show us a mistaken idea.B．To tell us a love story about apple.C．To explain how the tomato was called the apple of love.D．To show how the tomato was brought in from South America.35．Which of the following expressions is about health?A．Apple of discord. B．Apple­pie order.C．One rotten apple spoils the barrel. D．An apple a day keeps the doctor away.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What's apartheid(种族隔离制度)?Apartheid forced white and non­white people to live in separate areas.

We gave him a carrot nose, beautiful hat, cozy scarf and gloves. He was a masterpiece (杰作)．The next morning when looking outside, we smiled lovingly at him over our meal. We gave him a high five as we passed by on our way to school. A lot of kids went past our house, so he was the hot topic at our school that morning. It was our pride !The day dragged on until finally we could rush home. But as our yard came into sight, we saw something wrong. The snowman was gone! We only found a broken stick here, a torn glove there and balls of snow everywhere. Worst of all, the snowman's once­proud carrot nose lay limp (无力的) and half­eaten.What had happened? We were both astonished and angry. But then, we were only kids, who wouldn't have anything take away our happiness. Actually we knew only one thing: Our snowman would rise again. And so we rebuilt him.The next day we came home to find another mess on the front lawn (草坪). For the rest of the week, the destruction was repeated daily. Each afternoon we'd return to find our snowman had fallen apart, and then we built again.By Saturday morning, we had a plan. We borrowed a really big bucket (水桶) from Mom, filled it with water and left it outside. The next morning, it was frozen solid. We packed snow all around the ice block as the base (底座) of the snowman. Then we built the other parts of it once again. The trap was set, and we waited for the snowman bullies (破坏者) to come.注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式作答。On Monday morning, hiding behind the window, we soon saw what we were waiting for.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing their pained look, we couldn't help laughing.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 单元素养评估(六)第一部分答案：1～5 CBACA　6～10 ACCBA　11～15 BCCBA16～20 CABCC听力材料(Text 1)M：It's nearly 4 o'clock.

It turned out that there were three of them from our school. They sneaked up on our snowman and sneered. Taking their places on either side, they pulled back their legs to deliver powerful kicks. But the moment they hit the hard ice block of the base, sneers turned into shock, then agony and tears. They howled and cursed, gritting their teeth and stomping their feet.Seeing their pained look, we couldn't help laughing. They were too funny as they hopped away holding their injured feet. We just couldn't contain our happiness and excitement. With a hearty laugh, we came out of hiding and sprang into the yard from inside the house. “An eye for an eye! Justice done！” We yelled behind them. And that was the end of our problems with the snow bullies. Ever since then, our snowman was kept guarded and intact until it happily melted into spring water and finally wove into our sweetest childhood memories.
