三、阅读理解

A

If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments. 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.

3

Robben Island in South Africa

This island was used through the centuries as a prison，a hospital and a military base. But it's probably most famous as a maximum-security 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 Spain

This 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 ，Brazil

Brasilia 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 planner and architect(建筑师)．

Simien National Park ，Ethiopia

Simien 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.

American Mark Hough lives near Los Angeles, California. He was just about to start his weekend with an alcoholic drink called a margarita and a dip in his hot tub when he heard sticks breaking and leaves moving in his backyard. At first, he thought the sounds were coming from his neighbor. But then, the noise grew louder. “So I got up, looked over in the bushes and there was a bear climbing up over my fence，” Hough said.

After seeing the bear, Hough decided to go back into his home for safety reasons. When Hough looked outside a short time later, the bear had made himself at home in Hough's backyard. The bear had entered Hough's unheated hot tub.

“He was playing, having a grand old time，” Hough said. He found his phone and began recording video of the bear's activities.

After a few minutes of pool time, the bear got out and walked slowly around the yard. Then it made its way over to Hough's margarita. The bear pushed the drink over and drank it off the ground.

Later in the day, Hough was talking to a neighbor when some tree leaves fell to the ground. Hough looked up to see the bear sleeping in the tree. “So he had his margarita, and now he's ready for an hour nap，” Hough said.

Hough's video of the bear's relaxing afternoon has been a hit on social media. One Twitter user said the bear is “clearly having a better summer than you”. Other users called the bear a “summer hero”. One called it her “spirit animal”. And one local news station in Iowa suggested the bear's activities would be a great way to

celebrate America's Independence Day.

Petra may be the treasure of an ancient world, hidden behind a tall mountain. Its beautiful scenery makes it one of the greatest ancient sites still standing today. Common sense says “perhaps there’s nothing on the planet that looks like it”. Without doubt, there’s nothing in the world that resembles it. The rock-carved

rose-red town of Petra is filled with a mysterious charm that had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”.

Petra is the legacy from the Nabataeans, a hard-working group of Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago. Admired then because of

6

their culture, architecture and complex dams and water channels, Petra has become a UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) world heritage site and listed in the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Petra is the most well-known site in Jordan located about 262 km south of Amman and 133 km north of Aqaba. The Dead Sea is 80 kilometres north of it. The steeply rising sides of a long, cool, dark and narrow gorge basically keep the sunlight out. Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra’s most well-known monuments, which glows in the bright sun. The ancient city shows the visitors its beautiful look. The town is large and the quality of the architecture is surprising. It leads someone to think about the creativity from the Nabataeans who made Petra their capital.

Petra was the top architectural site for more than 400 years until it was occupied by the Romans in 106 AD. It was seen first when discovered in 1812 after being lost through the 16th century for nearly 300 years! Petra has 800 monuments, including buildings, tombs, baths, halls, temples, and streets, which were mostly carved in the pretty sandstone. Petra sights are in their finest in the early morning and the late afternoon. Once the sun warms the colorful stones, you will see the majesty of Petra.

8. What do we know about Petra from the passage?

A. It is on the top of a mountain.

B. It was a palace for the king.

C. It is a unique site.

D. It was built by the Nabataeans in 106 AD. “Commonsensesays‘perhapsthere’snothingontheplanetthatlookslikeit’.”可推断佩特拉风光的独特性,故选C项。

A. It is about 133 km south of Aqaba.

B. It is about 262 km north of Amman.

C. It is 80 km south of the Dead Sea.

The Liangzhu ruins in Hangzhou, pointing to an established Chinese civilization 5, 000 years ago, have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Every Chinese child is taught at school that the country’s civilization is 5, 000 years old, but proving this beyond doubt has been a problem.

Now, a jade artifact (玉器) named “King of Cong”, found in the Liangzhu city ruins near Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, has provided an answer. According to radiocarbon dating (放射性碳定年法), the 6.5 kg object is 5,300 years old. It is one of the largest objects among all Cong from Liangzhu. The piece has now won greater global recognition.

However, the site has far more than just things made of jade. The main area, spread over 14.3 square kilometers in the Yuhang area of Hangzhou, includes not only a city’s ruins but 11dams and several cemeteries (墓地), all about 5,000 years old. Archaeological facts show that people lived in Liangzhu for about a thousand years.

“The archaeological ruins of Liangzhu (3300-2300 BCE) show an early state with a unified belief system based on growing rice in Late Neolithic China,” the UNESCO World Heritage Committee said. “These ruins are an extremely good example of early city civilization expressed in town planning, a water conservation system and a social order which can be seen in where and how people were buried in cemeteries within the ruins.”

According to studies led by Liu Bin, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the inner part of the ancient city ruins covers 2.8 square kilometers, about five times the area of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the outer city spreads across 6.3 square kilometers. Liu said it was the biggest city ruins site of its time to be found in China, and was also one of the largest cities of its day in the world.

1. What’s the meaning of “Ancient Liangzhu ruins stand the test of time”?

________________________________________________

2. What can prove that China has a civilization of 5,000 years old?

3. How many years did people live in Liangzhu?
