Heritage is our legacy (遺產(chǎn)) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (無(wú)可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China make up our world's heritage.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.

How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.

1)If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.

2)The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.

3)After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.

4)Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn't taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.

1.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?

A．To tell us what is heritage.

B．To stress the importance of heritages.

C．To explain the aims of protecting heritages.

D．To introduce some places of interest in the world.

2.About cultural and natural heritage around the world, UNESCO encourages all the following EXCEPT________.

A．identification B．a(chǎn)pplication

C．protection D．conservation

3.If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country________.

A．can ask UNESCO for more money and help

B．should continue to take special care of it

C．won't take trouble of caring for it

D．will try to put it on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger

4.The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is________.

A．to attract more tourists from other countries

B．to get more money and help from other countries

C．to have it taken better care of

D．to make it known to other countries

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年河北定興第三中學(xué)高一下學(xué)期第三次6月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

We were on the way from Hutchinson to Chicago for a short spring break. For many years I had wanted to take my family on the train. We all had been to Chicago four years ago, and the kids loved it. Chicago is one of my favorite cities, too, so the thought struck me again last fall to ride the train to Chicago. Of course, flying would have been faster. But I don’t think flying is easier, especially these days, with all the security and waiting in lines at airports.

Though we were tired in the middle of the night, the kids got on the train with the exhilaration of this adventure. “We’re moving,” my son William shouted happily with big eyes as the train began to pull away from the Hutchinson station.

I removed my shoes and lay down to try to finish my night’s sleep. The sleeper car would have better enabled that, but the ordinary train seats were not too bad. An airline flight is a harder experience for me: not enough room, two hours of pain with my knees almost touching my mouth. On the train I could almost outstretch all of my 6-foot-2-plus body in the generous legroom.

The journey didn’t feel at all as long as it was. We all found the train ride a joy. The car ride would have felt every minute of 13 hours. But on the train you are free to walk around, sit in the observation carriage for a while and enjoy the scenery out the windows, have a nice meal in the dining car, read a book, or play a board game.

In short, the train is all about enjoying the trip, which isn’t something I do so much when traveling by airline or by car, when the trip seems more of a mission (任務(wù)) to get there than an experience to enjoy along the way.

Chicago offers much to do for a family. This time, getting there was half the fun.

1.We can learn from the first paragraph that _____.

A. the kids love the train journey

B. it was the first time that the kids were taken on the train

C. the author didn’t enjoy the long train journey

D. Chicago is one of the kid’s favorite cities

2.What does the underlined word “exhilaration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Tiredness. B. Relaxation.

C. Excitement. D. Worry.

3.In the third paragraph, an airline flight experience is mentioned to show _____.

A. a train ride is more comfortable

B. a train ride is too long

C. an airline flight is miserable

D. an airline flight is easier

4.Which of the following words best describes the whole family’s feeling about the train journey?

A. Moved. B. Nervous.

C. Disappointed. D. Delighted.

She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn’t _________ like that. As we got _________ with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. _________ she was singing, she was also _________ out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my _________ were to my students. People who worked at the care center could _________ to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling_________ about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.

Justin also _________ the same lady. The difference between us is that he _________ on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her _________ and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my _________to let you know that.” This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No _________ can completely describe that touching moment.

It took a boy to_________ me, a man, about kindness and love. Justin’s example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was a _________that I will never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself _________ to have witnessed his lesson.

A poem starts with a thought, an idea, or an emotion felt from the heart．Poems can be happy or sad, deep-thinking or even humorous．The choice is up to you and your imagination as to what you will create．

Reread your poem several times and listen to the words and to the rhythm of each line．Now is the time to shorten or lengthen each line in order to create a smooth-sounding poem．Even though it is a free verse poem, you can choose to make each line rhyme with the next line if you want to．

Now go back and reread your poem again. Check for proper punctuation(標(biāo)點(diǎn))as well as for the proper spelling of each word. Think up a suitable title for your poem. It would be a good idea to set your poem aside for a while and then return to it later．

Then, reread it again with a fresh mind and make some necessary changes．
