The Zhoukoudian Beijing Man Site is one of the most important world heritage sites in China．Since the discovery, which changed China’s knowledge of its history, was made in the 1920s, Zhoukoudian has become an important place for archaeologists from all over the world．At the site in the south-west suburb of Beijing, there is, for example, the earliest evidence of the use of fire by humans．It has also been proved that people lived there continuously between 500,000 and 10,000 years ago．

       Today, however, Zhoukoudian is in serious danger．Parts of the cave have been badly affected by rain and exposure to the air．Some areas are almost completely covered in weeds, causing serious damage．Pollution from nearby cement factories has also contributed to the problem．

       The site is extremely expensive to maintain and it will cost between three and five million yuan to repair it．At the moment, visitors are not allowed to visit the caves．

       Zhoukoudian is on the World Cultural Heritage List, organized by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization．The list is constantly checked．Any site which is seriously damaged or which is not properly protected is an endangered heritage, and UNESCO is very quick to do something about situations like this．They have recommended that the site be closed and repaired．If nothing is done to repair it, it could be removed from the list．

       This is a very serious matter and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is trying to raise public awareness about it．They have suggested that the general public be encouraged to help with the problem．A professor at the Academy has proposed that a fund be established to raise money．

       Dr Zhu Ming of the Academy said, “ We have requested that the government get involved, but we also need assistance from ordinary people．They can help by contributing to the cost of repairing the caves．They are a precious part of our cultural heritage—it is of vital importance that we do something．If not, it will be a catastrophe．”

1．Why is Zhoukoudian of great importance in China?

     A．Because the site tells some information about how man lived in the old times．

     B．Because it has brought in lots of money as a place of interest．

     C．Because it is the only place in China on the World Cultural Heritage List．

     D．Because it changed our knowledge of China’s history of the 1920’s．

2．What is the second paragraph about?

     A．Zhoukoudian’s discovery               B．Zhoukoudian’s future   

       C．Zhoukoudian’s in danger               D．Zhoukoudian’s protection

3．The following has caused the damage of the site except________________．

     A．Weeds             B．Rain                 C．Fire                D．Cement factories

4．The passage suggests that to repair Zhoukoudian, Chinese Academy of Sciences is seeking help from_________．

     A．Archaeologists from all over the world

       B．Government and the public

     C．Experts from UNESCO

       D．Visitors

5．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “catastrophe”?

       He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens．What he saw shocked and terrified him．A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．

       With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously — but without knowing how to escape the swarm．With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road．As the bees came closer, his panic increased．Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings （蜇）．The last sting had landed him in hospital — and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days．Suddenly, his father’s words came to him．“When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic．Use your brain and think your way out of it．”

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解

With alarming regularity, we read about oil tankers having accidents near land and the terrible consequences of the oil spills（泄露） on people, nature, and the environment．

       Millions of dollars have been used in developing special chemicals to help dismiss the spills and to clean up the animals, beaches, and land spoiled by the oil．Unfortunately, when many of these chemicals are used, more damage is caused to the environment, especially to lives in the sea．

       Of all of today’s environmental disasters, an oil spill may actually be one of the least serious．Although oil is poisonous, it is a natural material．In the end, it breaks down naturally．There are, of course, long-term effects, but it is usually more serious in the short term．

       Nature by itself works better than chemical materials, but when there is a spill we demand that governments act immediately with as much hi-tech knowledge as possible．In 1967 the tanker Torrey Canyon sank off the Sicily Isles near the coast of England and spilled 120,000 tones of oil into the ocean．If you go there today, you will find it hard to see any sign that it ever happened．

       Governments seem to accept the risk of transporting millions of tons of oil by ship every day so that we can fill up our cars and drive around and cause even more environmental damage．Interestingly, the biggest companies in the world produce cars, and the next biggest supply the gasoline to make them run!

       We should be thinking more about reducing our dependency on oil．Governments should be encouraging research into new technologies, such as cars run by solar power（太陽能）, electricity, hydrogen, and so on．Much of this research has, in the past, been held back by the oil, gas, and coal．

       If the world’s millions of cars were 10% more efficient（高效的） — and the industry could easily produce cars at least twice as efficient — we would need many fewer tankers crossing the oceans each year．If this happened, the risks of oil spills would be reduced, and the air we breathe would be cleaner and fresher, too．

1．What is the passage mainly talking about?

       A．Oil tanker accidents．                          B．What oil pollution is．

       C．Oil spills pollution．                             D．How to reduce oil pollution．

2．How does the author support the idea that oil spills are not as serious as people believe?

       A．By giving an example．                        B．By making an argument．

       C．By giving a description．                      D．By drawing a diagram．

3．What does the underlined word “risk” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

       A．Transportation depending more on oil．

       B．More environmental damage being caused．

       C．Millions of tons of oil spilling into the sea．

       D．Poisonous oil breaking down naturally．

4．Which suggestion is made for reducing oil tank accidents according to the passage?

       A．We should build safer oil tankers in the near future．

       B．Tankers should not be allowed to sail near the coastlines．

       C．We should develop new technologies to cut oil use．

       D．Countries should build more oil pipelines under the sea．
