Therefore, if you have a keen interest in meeting your curiosity about it, the following on the UNESCO's World Heritage List will be a must-check list for you .Dinosaur Provincial Park, CanadaThe park is best known for its extensive fossil beds, within which 35 species of dinosaurs from about 100 to 65 million years ago have been identified. There are also fossilized remains of fish, reptiles, and amphibians. The area was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.Salonga National Park, CongoThis is the largest reserve in Congo, covering more than 14,000 square miles. The park was established in 1970. The thick forest provides habitats for various animals like parrots, elephants and monkeys. Park visitors observe the animals from motorized river boats. The park was entered into the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 1984.Hadrian 's Wall, EnglandThis is a Roman barrier that guarded the border of Britain. Hadrian (ruled 117- 138 CE) went to Britain in 122 and was the first to build a wall, 80 miles long, to separate the Romans from the barbarians(野蛮人). There was no intention of fighting from the wall top; the soldiers there were trained to encounter the enemy in the open. In 1987, Hadrian's Wall was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.Easter Island, ChileThis place is famous for its huge stone statues. The first European visitors, the Dutch, named it Easter Island in memory of their day of arrival. The small and hilly island was formed by volcanoes.Easter Island was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1995.If you want to study fossils in college, which site would you like to visit?Easter Island. B. Dinosaur Provincial Park. Hadrian 's Wall. D. Salonga National Park.When was Salonga National Park entered into the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites?In 1995. B. In 1979. C. In 1987. D. In 1984. Why was Hadrian’s Wall built in the first place?To keep a place for dinosaurs.To defend themselves from attack.To memorize Roman’s arrival in the place.To provide natural habitats for wild animals.BHollywood is getting more confident in the recovery of the US film market after Warner Bros’ monster mash Godzilla vs. Kong scored huge box office returns in early April. Meanwhile, Hollywood is also eyeing the Chinese market, with offerings including Universal’s action film Fast and Furious 9. However, they should realize that after the deadly pandemic, Chinese audiences have more interest in movies that tell a good Chinese story. James Cameron’s documentary The Six and Marvel’s superhero film Black Widow are scheduled to be released on April 16 and July 9 respectively, and DC comics has produced a new superhero, Monkey Prince, based on the Chinese legendary Money King. Obviously, Hollywood is hoping to earn big in the world’s largest film market.But looking back to the Hollywood blockbusters in 2020, their box office performance in China was a big disappointment. According to China’s ticketing platform Maoyan, Disney’s Mulan, DC’s Wonder Woman 1984 and Warner Bros’ Tenet earned 278 million yuan ($42 million), 167 million yuan and 456 million yuan, respectively. Meanwhile, homegrown Chinese films are getting more popular, which can be seen from the box office during China’s Lunar New Year holiday in 2021 and the Qingming Festival. Chinese feature film Sister, which deals with sister-brother relationships, quickly defeated Godzilla vs. Kong during China’s Qingming Festival holiday.Many observers said that Chinese audiences want to watch films that tell a good Chinese story, and the tear-jerking comedy Hi, Mom is a perfect example. The film tells a warm story of a mother-daughter relationship and has grossed 5.397 million yuan as of Thursday, according to Maoyan.Maybe it is because of the COVID-19 epidemic that Chinese people are turning their eyes more toward their own stories. If Hollywood still cannot really understand and respect Chinese culture and just randomly mixes some Chinese elements into their films, it will lose a large amount of its fans in China. 24. What does the underlined expression in the second paragraph refer to?A. The Chinese film market. B. The US film market. C. The Hollywood film market. D. The Maoyan film market.25. What did Chinese audiences think of the Hollywood blockbusters released in 2020 in China?A. The films earned big money in the box office.B. The films defeated these homegrown films in China.C. The films failed to meet the Chinese audiences’ expectation.D. The films were criticized for mixing Chinese elements into their films. 26. Why is the film Hi, Mom seen as a good example of successful films nowadays? A. It is about a warm story between a mother and a daughter.B. It is about a story that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.C. It mixes many Chinese family elements into the film successfully.D. It satisfies many people’s interest in a film to tell a good Chinese story. 27. How can Hollywood make a change to keep its fans in China?A. Try to base its story on Chinese legendary.B. Mix many Chinese elements into their films. C. Show true understanding and respect for Chinese culture.D. Make the films to solve the mother-daughter relationships.CDriving to the east from city center of Yinchuan, capital city in Northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, millions of midnight blue solar panels would suddenly come into view on the slopes of gullies, like a blue ocean.All that sunlight absorbed by the more than 2 million photovoltaic (PV) panels is converted into electricity that flows into the grid(电网), creating the world's largest PV power plant and powers cities across the country. Under the panels are also planted goji, which with the solar park together turned the once deserted land into an "oasis"（绿洲） and helped locals to lead better lives. Then in 2016, to make full use of the land, over the goji plantation, Huawei Smart PV supported the Ningxia Baofeng Energy Group in building a solar power system, which can also conserve energy and reduce emissions.Through the efforts, the vegetation coverage has now increased from 30 percent to 85 percent, which has also significantly improved the regional climate. At the end of December last year, compared with traditional coal power station, the solar farm is estimated to reduce emissions of CO2 by 2.047 million tons, equal to planting around 89 million trees.The average annual power generation income is expected to be more than 100 million yuan, benefiting more than 26,000 poor households in 349 low income villages. By the end of 2020, the per capita disposable income of farmers in Hongde village has already reached 10,686 yuan. Aside from the economic benefit, solar PV power generation is also one of the top 10 targeted poverty alleviation projects(精准脱贫项目) in China. Since 2014, the country has made relevant plans, strengthened power grid building and operation services, and promoted various solar photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects funded by the government and carried out by enterprises."Poverty alleviation is just a first step, we are highly motivated now, and after five years, you will see an even better picture," a local resident told the Global Times on Tuesday.What mainly makes up the blue-ocean-like view in the first paragraph?The regional climate. B. Huawei-supported PV panels. C. Massively-grown goji. D. Government-funded poverty alleviation projects.29. What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A. The solar power system is environment-friendly. B. The solar power system will lead to reducing planting trees.C. The solar power system will replace traditional coal power station.D. The solar power system is improving the vegetation coverage slowly.30. What’s the locals’ attitude towards the solar power system?A. Neutral. B. Objective. C. Inspired. D. Indifferent.What’s the best title for this passage?The Solar ‘Ocean’ Helps People out of Poverty.Enterprises Go Hand in Hand with Local Governments.The Solar Panels — the Tested Best Solution to Poverty.One of the Top 10 Targeted Poverty Alleviation Projects in China.DNowadays some companies are attempting to grow seafood from cells in a laboratory, rather than harvesting it from the oceans.With massive problems with overfishing worldwide and growing demand for supplies of seafood, the way fish currently makes its way to our plates is unable to work long-term. Between 1961 and 2016, the average annual increase in global food fish consumption outpaced population growth.This isn't good for us, the fish,or the environment as a whole. Cellular (细胞) seafood could be the answer. Just don't make the mistake of calling it lab-grown fish. "None of us in the industry would call it lab-grown seafood,” says Mike Selden, CEO of Finless Foods. “Finless Foods isn't lab-grown. We experiment and create our science in the lab, but don't produce there. Our products come from a production facility much like a farm . We just don't need the animals to create the nutrition."Finless Foods is a biotech company located in San Francisco. Since- 2017, it's been working to bring to market a species of cultured bluefin tuna (人工养殖的蓝鳍金枪鱼) created using cellular technology. Shortly after that, the company produced its first pound of bluefin tuna meat for a cost of about $19,000. Since then, however, it's been working to bring that price down.Selden terms what Finless Foods is doing as “cell-based seafood”. “We're growing seafood from real seafood cells,” Selden explained. "We take cells from a fish once, and then grow them endlessly from that. We do the same process that happens inside of a fish and make it happen outside of a fish.”The goal of cellular seafood isn't, its supporters claim, to entirely disturb the current seafood industry. Instead, it's intended to augment it — and perhaps to help reduce overfishing and illegal fishing. And when it comes to certain sea species, this laboratory-based approach could help create a plentiful supply of certain fish without endangering the survival of certain overfished species as a whole.32.What is the second paragraph intended to show?A. The problem with global overfishing.B. The decreasing food fish consumption.C. The negative environmental effects of seafood.D. The importance of producing cellular seafood.33.Why is Mike Selden mentioned in the passage?A. To explain the concept of lab-grown seafood.B. To show people's passion for cellular seafood.C. To describe his company's devotion to cellular seafood.D. To introduce the features of producing cellular seafood.34. What problem is Finless Foods trying to solve with cellular seafood?A. Its poor nutrient content. B.The high cost of its production.C. Its potential negative health effects. D.The complicated production process.35.What does the underlined word “augment” in the last paragraph mean? A. Cancel. B. Replace. C. Expand. D. Tolerate.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的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。Social MediaSocial media can be defined as web-based mobile media that are used for people to interact, connect and communicate with each other.
