Ⅰ.阅读理解

When cultural heritage sites disappear,they’re gone forever.However,they are being endangered at an alarming rate by rising seas (Venice),pollution (the Taj Mahal) and overtourism (Angkor Wat).Just to name a few.

But when we try to protect these heritage sites,we also have to face such thorny questions as “What part of the past is worth preserving and passing on to the next generations?What duty do we owe to the creations of our ancestors?What strength do we draw from their presence—and when,on the contrary,do they become a lead weight,preventing us from projecting ourselves into the future?”.

Humankind has answered these difficult questions differently in different places.In Dresden,Germany,the Frauenkirche was an 18th century church whose bell-shaped top was a landmark.In February,1945,one of the most destructive bombing attacks of World War Ⅱ killed more than 25,000 people and reduced the city to ruins.As Dresden slowly rebuilt after the war,the Frauenkirche was left in ruins.But after German reunification,the church was reconstructed using many of its original materials,as a statement of peace and harmony.

Like the Frauenkirche,Notre Dame,a landmark in Paris,which was destroyed by fire in 2019,is being rebuilt as close as possible to how it was before,including using the original and poisonous metal lead for the roof.That choice was controversial,as future choices are bound to be in the debate about how to restore and preserve historic buildings.

Perhaps,no one can claim to have the right answers on preservation.There may not even be right answers.What we will do is to continue to take care of important cultural heritage sites,as a matter of significance to humanity’s past,present and future.

1.Which heritage site is suffering from too many visitors?

A.Venice.  B.Dresden.

C.The Taj Mahal.  D.Angkor Wat.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “thorny” in paragraph 2?

A.Tough.  B.Smart.

C.Interesting.  D.Important.

3.What does the author dislike about the rebuilding of Notre Dame?

A.The high rebuilding costs.

B.The timing of reconstruction.

C.The choice of certain material.

D.The significance of preservation.

4.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

A.We should protect as many heritage sites as possible.

B.It is better to leave the damaged historic buildings alone.

C.Historic buildings should be rebuilt with the same materials.

D.Heritage sites serve as an important link among human beings.

People use the proverb “seeing is believing” to describe situations where it’s hard to believe something is possible if you haven’t seen it happen.I am here today to tell you that the proverb is true and to share with you how a girl and her grandmother made a positive transformation in a community.

It was a year ago when I was studying life cycles in my science class.I wrote a paper about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly (帝王蝶) and received a perfect score.I was so thrilled;I called my grandmother Nana and told her the exciting news.My talk recalled memories from Nana’s childhood.“I remember when I was a girl,” she said,“those orange and black butterflies were a common sight.Come late summer;there would suddenly be hundreds of them,and before long there were so many;it felt like you were standing in an orange cloud.”

“It sounds like you witnessed a migration,but what happened to them?” I asked.“To be honest,I’ve never known,” Nana admitted.“But there do seem to be fewer monarchs around the neighborhood.” Nana and I decided to investigate.

That weekend,we met at the public library.Our research produced plenty of information:some fascinating and some concerning.Apparently,the number of monarchs has been in decline for the last several decades.Housing developments have destroyed much of their habitat.Some information was hopeful,though,like how conservationists are working to save them.

The best was this—it doesn’t take lots of money or equipment to do so.It takes only a little bit of land,some seeds,and dedicated people to create what’s called a Monarch Waystation (驿站).

“What if we set up our own Monarch Waystation?” I suggested.“We’ll need people to help.” Nana responded immediately and didn’t waste time to get started.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。

The next day,Nana presented the idea to her garden club and I talked to my friends.____

2.A　词义猜测题。根据第三段的“Humankindhasansweredthesedifficultquestionsdifferentlyindifferentplaces.”可知,第二段的“suchthornyquestionsas”后所列举的问题是难题,因此画线词thorny的意思是“困难的”,和tough意思相近。

3.C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“LiketheFrauenkirche,NotreDame,alandmarkinParis,whichwasdestroyedbyfirein2019,isbeingrebuiltascloseaspossibletohowitwasbefore,includingusingtheoriginalandpoisonousmetalleadfortheroof.Thatchoicewascontroversial”可知,作者不喜欢重建巴黎圣母院的材料的选择。

4.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Whatwewilldoistocontinuetotakecareofimportantculturalheritagesites,asamatterofsignificancetohumanity’spast,presentandfuture.”可推断出,作者在文中似乎要传达的信息是文化遗迹是人类之间的重要纽带。

Thenextday,NanapresentedtheideatohergardenclubandItalkedtomyfriends.Many people started to plant flowers in their gardens.Nana’s garden club convinced the city government to plant a butterfly garden next to the city fountain.My friends and I spread leaflets telling people how to build Monarch Waystations.More and more people took action to make our community monarch-friendly.As spring turned into summer,we found our efforts started to work!A few dozen orange and black butterflies were spotted visiting the Waystations.As summer progressed,the monarchs grew more plentiful.

NanaandIcreatedablogandfrequentlyupdatedaboutthecommunity’sefforts.Monarch enthusiasts from across the country contacted us with their own observations,ideas and reflections.Then it happened one day when the sun was shining and the sky was deep blue,just like Nana remembered a few fluttering orange wings soon became hundreds of soaring butterflies.As monarchs sailed above and around us,Nana cried tears of happiness and gave me an enormous hug.It was truly a spectacular experience.Now I know what it means to stand in an orange cloud of monarchs.I know what people mean when they say,“Seeing is believing.” I learn that if we believe in something strong enough and work to make it happen,we will see our goal become a reality.
