Did you know there are 1,157 UNESCO World Heritage Sites spanning across 167 countries? We've picked out our top 4 for you to visit below.The Acropolis,GreeceThe Acropolis is an ancient castle that stands proud in the Greek city of Athens. Back in the fifth century BC after battle with the Persians,the plans of Pericles came to life under the influence of Pheidias,the sculptor. It then became a place for thought and art to flourish, where symbols of classical spirit and civilisation came alive.Historic centre of Rome,ItalyAccording to Roman mythology,the Eternal City was founded in 753 BC and became the capital of the mighty Roman Empire. Rome is home to a number of attractions including the Forum, the Pantheon and the Colosseum! This World Heritage site contains the whole historic centre within the city walls and reflects the influence of the Renaissance and Baroque periods in making it one of Italy's most popular cities.Ayutthaya Historical Park,ThailandThe historic city of Ayutthaya in Thailand was founded around 1350 and was subsequently destroyed in the 18th century by the Burmese. What's left today is the ruins and some key highlights include the Buddhist temples of Wat Ratchaburana, Wat Mahathat and Wat Phra Sri Sanphet. The area is home to the remains of tall prang (reliquary towers) and should not be missed.Cultural landscape of Bali,IndonesiaThe landscape in Bali is unlike anything else on Earth. Consisting of five rice terraces（梯田） and water temples covering 19,500 hectares, the cultural landscape takes your breath away.This site gains honour through an ancient farming ceremony dating back to the 9th century known as subak. This concept reflects the spirit, the human world and nature, also known as Tri Hita Karana.21.What might have happened in Greece in the 5th century BC?

Emily Talman, of Birkenhead, Merseyside,was inspired by the Daily Mirror's “Pride of Britain Awards"to take on the challenge. She started running on November 8 last year after Grandad Pete Talman recovered from prostate（前列腺）cancer．Emily said she did it for all grandads. She added: “I remember watching the 'Pride of Britain Awards' last year, when my grandad was better, and I wanted to do something to help other families who are going through what we did.”Pete,69,was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. He had successful surgery to remove his prostate the following July. “My grandad always told me,'Never give up, never give in' and that's what I've told myself during my challenge. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to still have him in mylife.”Emily had to face all weather for her runs. But she said thinking about families who have lost loved ones to cancer kept her going. The determined schoolgirl, who has three sisters, added,“I always think about the people who can't be with their grandad, dad, uncle, or brother because of prostate cancer."Liverpool fan Emily even made time on Christmas Day and her 12th birthday on August 15 for her runs. She plans to “have a little break from running" but hopes to complete 100 more days every year in the future to keep spreading awareness of prostate cancer.Parents Ricky Talman and Stacey Williams told of their pride in her. Ricky said,“It was a tough challenge but she's just been a warrior and everyone in the family is so proud of her.”24.What does Emily run for?
A.The family's dream.C.Her education funds.B.A meaningful cause.D.Her physical health.
25.What motivated Emily to do something for all grandads?
A.A TV program.C. Her terrible disease.B.A prize awarded to her.D.Her grandad's words.
26.What is Emily's plan for the future?A.To commit to spreading awareness of running.B.To get down to promoting her academic performance.C.To run about 1/3 year for cancer charity.D. To take on a tougher challenge to prove herself.27.Which of the following can best describe Emily?
A.Lovely and innocent.C.Considerate and talkative.B.Proud and humorous.D.Caring and determined.
CA research team led by the University of Göttingen has shed new light on the importance of plant roots for belowground life， particularly in the tropics（热带）.Millions of small creatures working hard in a single hectare of soil including earthworms, springtails，mites，insects， and other arthropods（节肢动物）are crucial for decomposition and soil health. For a long time, it was believed that leaf litter is the primary resource for these animals. However,this recent study is the first to provide proof that resources from plant roots drive soil animal communities in the tropics.The researchers divided plots（地块）within natural ecosystems and separated the plots from accessing plant roots with a plastic barrier. Their study included rainforest, as well as both rubber and oil palm plantations in Sumatra,Indonesia. They removed all dead leaves, the main resource of decomposer animals,from other experimental plots to compare them.They found that without living roots, animal abundance in the rainforest plots decreases by 42 percent and in plantations by 30 percent. By contrast, removing the dead leaves has almost no effect on the animals in the underlying soil, but decreased the total animal abundance (in the soil and dead leaves) by 60 percent in rainforest and rubber plantations due to physical litter removal.The study also revealed that living roots are especially important for the smaller soil animals, such as mites and springtails. Interestingly, after adding artificial plastic leaves in oil palm plantations, abundance of some animal groups-such as prostigmata-increased, highlighting that improving habitat structure can promote soil food networks and the services they provide.“The study provides new perspectives for the management of the resources provided by plant litter in tropical plantations, contributing to soil animal biodiversity. This is important to develop sustainable agricultural landscapes in the tropics,” says Professor Stefan Scheu, head of the AnimalEcology Working Group at the University of Göttingen.28. What role do arthropods play in the tropics?
A.Making soil healthy.C.Feeding other animals.B.Slowing global warming.D.Providing nutrition for plants.
29.Why were dead leaves removed from some plots?A.To make room for crops.B.To keep the plots clean.C.To improve the soil condition.D. To make comparisons.30.Which of the following may affect the animal abundance of a plot?
A. Variety of plants.C.Height of plants.B.Roots of plants.D.Quantities of plants.
31.According to Stefan, what matters to sustainable agricultural landscapes?
A. Biodiversity of soil animals.C.Resources provided by animal waste.B.Habitat structure of living things.D.New perspectives of management
 DA Finnish study coordinated by the Centre for Population Health Research at the University of Turku shows that accumulated adverse（不利的）psychosocial factors in childhood are associated with worse midlife learning and memory, and specifically child's self-regulation and social adjustment.Along with aging population，the problem of cognitive deficits（缺陷）is growing. Thus， revealing the role of various exposures beginning from childhood is important in order to bring tools for cognitive health promotion. An adverse psychosocial environment in childhood may harm cognitive development, but the associations for adulthood cognitive function remain obscure. Results from a longitudinal（纵向的）Finnish study show that unfavorable childhood psychosocial factors may be linked to poorer learning and memory in midlife.“Previous evidence on adverse psychosocial factors and cognitive outcomes comes from short-term studies focusing on single psychosocial factor or adversity. This study is a prospective longitudinal study focusing on the associations between multiple childhood psychosocial factors and adulthood cognitive function,"  says Doctoral Researcher Amanda Nurmi from the Centre for Population Health Research at the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital.Cognitive performance was measured at the age of 34-49. Of over 2,000 participants with cognitive function data, 1,191 also had complete data on childhood psychosocial factors. Socioeconomic and emotional environment, parental health behaviours, stressful events, self-regulation, and social adjustment were questioned in the baseline. The results suggest that accumulation of unfavorable psychosocial factors in childhood may associate with poorer cognitive function in midlife. Specifically, poor self-regulatory behavior and social adjustment in childhood are associated with poorer learning ability and memory approximately 30 years later.“The results of our study can be employed to develop targeted interventions directed towards those families with accumulated negative psychosocial factors. Interventions towards promoting a better psychosocial environment in childhood might have carry-over associations on cognitive function and thus be reflected also in future generations through parenting attitudes,” Nurmi says.32.What is the purpose of revealing the role of various exposures from childhood?A.To provide data for scientific research.B. To record children's growth environment.C. To find means to improve cognitive health.D.To stress the importance of surroundings.33.Which can best replace the underlined word “obscure” in paragraph 2?A.Obvious.B.Secure.C.Efficient.D.Unclear.34.What does Amanda Nurmi mainly talk about in paragraph 3?A.The disadvantages of the previous studies.B.The number of participants in the new study.C.The findings of the new study and the old ones.D.The difference between the new study and the old ones.35.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Poor family,hard social adjustment.B.Tough childhood, memory problem later.C.With people aging, cognitive deficits growing.D.Adverse surroundings, strong character forming.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，全科试题免费下载公众号《高中僧课堂》从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone wants to live a healthier life and be happy.
