Discver Wrld Heritage
Heritage is treasure frm the past — what we live with tday and what we pass n t future generatins. T preserve it, UNESCO safeguards hundreds f natural and cultural Wrld Heritage sites arund the wrld.
Here are 4 Wrld Heritage sites:
Histric Centre f Rme
Funded, accrding t legend, by Rmulus and Remus in 753 BC, Rme was first the centre f the Rman Republic, then f the Rman Empire, and it became the capital f the Christian wrld in the 4th century.
Ancient City f Damascus
Funded in 3000 BC, Damascus is ne f the ldest cities in the Middle East. In the Middle Ages, it was the centre f a splendid craft industry, specializing in swrds. The city has sme 125 mnuments frm different perids f its histry.
Old Havana
Havana was funded in 1519 by the Spanish. By the 17th century, it had becme ne f the Caribbean’s main centres fr ship - building. Althugh it is tday a mdern city, its ld centre remains an interesting mix f Barque and neclassical (新古典主义的) mnuments.
Ancient City f Pingya
Pingya, funded in the 14th century, shws the evlutin f architectural styles and twn planning in Imperial China ver five centuries. Of special interest are the splendid buildings assciated with banking, fr which Pingya was the majr centre fr the whle f China in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

On Mndays, tw f my children get ready fr schl in an unusual way. Each packs plenty f fd and water, a pair f wellingtns (防水橡胶靴) and smetimes a cup f ht chclate. Then, I drp them ff at a nearby park where they spend the entire day utside at a certificated frest schl.
When I first entered them fr the frest schl prgramme, I lved the idea, but as a mum, I was cncerned abut a few things: Wuld they be cmfrtable utside fr that lng? Wuld they stay engaged fr that many hurs? Then I asked them if time ever seemed t mve slwly. They stared at me in cnfusin. They didn't understand my questin, which fittingly remved it.
In this prgramme, kids direct their wn play, climbing tall trees r testing ice n the frzen lake. They are never tld their play is t high r t sharp, but are rather trusted t adjust themselves. Smething else my sns appreciate abut frest schl is nt being tld t mve n t the next activity, but being left t stay in a particular spt as lng as their curisity allws.
"What abut all the things they're missing in real schl?" cncerned parents have asked me. Neither f their classrm teachers thinks it's a prblem, but mst significantly, my kids are learning new and different skills that a classrm cannt teach. They are learning t sit silently and bserve nature up clse — a skill that's virtually impssible t develp in a nisy and vercrwded classrm setting. They are making scial cnnectins acrss a brader range f age grups. They cperate tgether, using their different sizes and strengths t fulfill varius rles within their games.
I am grateful that frest schl is shaping my bys' relatinship with the utdrs. They're learning hw t spend extended perids f time in nature, what t d t pass the time, and develping knwledge that will get them much clser t nature in the cming decades.
24. What is special abut the frest schl prgramme?
A. Teachers engage in kids' play.B. Kids play and learn utdrs.
C. It fcuses n nature prtectin.D. It ffers varius fd and drinks.
25. What des the authr think f her kids' reactin t her questins?
A. It's awkward.B. It's wrrying.C. It's cmfrting.D. It's discuraging.
26. What des Paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. The cncerns caused by the prgramme.
B. The benefits gained frm rle - play.
C. The skills acquired by children.
D. The games lved by teachers.
27. What can be the best title fr the passage?
A. Nature: the wnderland fr the yung
B. The frest schl prgramme prves a hit
C. Parks are replacing traditinal schls
D. Frest schl is a fine place fr my kids
Arabidpsis thaliana (拟南芥), a small thin weed f the mustard family, never seemed likely t gain scientific fame. Yet this cmmn plant has greatly changed frm an ignred weed t a bilgical superstar due t scientists' fresight, cntinuus explratin and jint effrts.
Arabidpsis' jurney began with yung geneticist Gerge Rédei. At first, Rédei's research n this weed was widely dubted because many thught nly valuable crps r decrative plants were wrth studying. But he carried its seeds all the time and later cntinued research in the US. Inspired by German btanist Friedrich Laibach, he saw its value as a mdel rganism, similar t fruit flies in genetics. Cmpared with crn and wheat, Arabidpsis has clear advantages: small size, shrt grwth cycle, many seeds, but what sets it apart frm ther experimental plants is its nly five pairs f chrmsmes (染色体), making gene lcatin much easier.
In the 1980s, yung scientists like Chris Smerville and Ellit Meyerwitz als nticed its ptential. They prved its value thrugh experiments, finding its small genme with little repeated DNA made gene discvery easier. In 2000, a glbal team finished its research and published the result in Nature, which prvided a slid base fr future studies.
Tday, researches n Arabidpsis have prvided imprtant supprt fr crp utput expansin, eclgical system management and climate change reductin. Fr instance, the genes identified in Arabidpsis have helped scientists understand the fruit develpment mechanism f tmates and imprve the stress resistance f rice.
Beynd plant science, Arabidpsis has als brught new insights t human health research. Ntably, abut 70% f human cancer - related genes and genes related t neurlgical diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinsn's all exist in this plant.
Arabidpsis is nt withut limitatins. Its simple structure, while useful fr genetic research, cannt fully
represent the cmplexity f crps like wheat r crn. Hwever, even with these cncerns, this nce-ignred weed has already prved that great scientific value can lie in the mst unexpected places, and it cntinues t inspire researchers t explre the mysteries f life.
28. What is special abut Arabidpsis as a mdel rganism?
A. Its abundant seeds.B. Its brief life perid.
C. Its few chrmsmes.D. Its unique uter shape.
29. What can be inferred abut the Arabidpsis research?
A. It cast new light n medical studies.
B. It priritized traditinal mdel rganisms.
C. It gained supprt frm mst geneticists.
D. It targeted majr management prblems.
30. What is the functin f the last paragraph?
A. T prve the cmplexity f Arabidpsis.B. T stress the limitatins f Arabidpsis.
C. T restate the imprtance f Arabidpsis.D. T underline the structure f Arabidpsis.
31. Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Applicatins f Arabidpsis Studies
B. The Link between Arabidpsis and Humans
C. The Discvery f Small Genme in Arabidpsis
D. The Curse f Arabidpsis frm Weed t Treasure

Ancient wdland, as defined by the gvernment agency Natural England, is land n which the tree cver has been in cntinuus existence since 1600; befre that date, plantatin was rare, s wds that existed in 1600 are cnsidered t have develped naturally. Accrding t the Wdland Trust, ancient wdland cvers just 2.5 per cent f the land area f England and Wales.
The Ancient Wdland Inventry, set up by the Nature Cnservancy Cuncil in 1981 and maintained by Natural England, says sme 7 per cent f ancient wdland that was present in 1930 has been grubbed up fr farming r ther uses, and 38 per cent has been replaced with plantatins, ften f single - species cnifers that ffer little diversity f habitat.
The reasns the ld Nrth Wd survived fr s lng when surrunding areas were cnverted t farmland was that the steep terrain was unsuitable fr arable r pasture, and because it lay n the sparsely ppulated margins f several parishes. It was als a valuable ecnmic resurce: fr at least a millennium, the wd was intensely cultivated t prvide timber, fr furniture, tls and shipbuilding and charcal fr Lndn's blacksmiths, bakeries and brick and tilekilns.
32. Why did campaigners put pressure n lcal and natinal bdies accrding t the secnd paragraph?
A. T demand mre gyms fr public exercise.
B. T prtect existing green spaces frm destructin.
C. T request pen spaces fr planting new vegetatin.
D. T prmte the develpment f suburban husing.
33. What des the underlined phrase "grubbed up" in Paragraph 4 mst likely mean?
A. Use up natural resurces.B. Dig ut and remve cmpletely.
C. Take up quickly fr develpment.D. Preserve carefully fr the future.
34. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. British peple have lng been aware f the imprtance f green space prtectin.
B. The ancient wdland nearest t central Lndn is entirely made up f cnifers.
C. The replacement f ancient wdland with single - species plantatins has harmed habitat diversity.
D. Only 7% f ancient wdland present in 1930 remains tday.
35. Why did the ld Nrth Wd survive fr s lng accrding t the passage?
A. Its steep land was unsuitable fr farming r animal grazing.
B. It was lcated in a densely ppulated and well - prtected area.
C. The gvernment had listed it as a prtected area very early.
D. Lcal residents jintly prevented any external develpment.

Try nticing hw yur bdy behaves when yu’re delighted, like ging n hliday r seeing friends. This can help guide yu in making decisins. 40 Did yu have any feelings that things weren’t ging yur way? If smething makes yu feel tense r uncmfrtable, dn’t d it r wait until yu have time t think it thrugh prperly.
A. Hw des yur intuitin help yu?
B. Hw can yu make thers trust yur intuitin?
C. It can als help yu discver what yu’re gd at.
D. These can help crrect all the wrng decisins yu made.

【原文】W: Take care f yur plants! They may “scream” if yu treat them badly. Accrding t an article published in a magazine Cell, plants can make sunds when they are stressed. “Plants interact with insects and ther animals all the time, and many f these insects and animals use sunds fr cmmunicatin, s it wuld be very incnvenient fr plants nt t use sunds at all,” Lilach Hadany tld BBC Science Fcus.
With this in mind, the research team started by recrding plants’ sunds. They divided the plants int three grups. One grup wasn’t watered fr five days. Anther grup had the stems cut ff and the last grup remained untuched. The micrphnes caught sunds at a frequency f 40 t 80 kilhertz frm the first tw grups. The sunds grew luder and luder during the five days f water stress. They then began t decline as the plants dried ut. The researchers haven’t yet discvered hw the sunds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made sftware that culd tell hw plants “feel”. It culd be useful fr farmers in mnitring the cnditins f their crps.
