Since 1996, 770 key cultural sites under state protection have been listed by the Chinese government and the number of them are expected to reach 2, 200 in 2022. In the 1990s, the government spent a lot of money protect cultural sites, what reached 700 million yuan for about 1,000, projects. So far, the Chinese government has been listed more than 560 national famous cultural cities under key protection. To our delighted, the protection of the ancient buildings as well the traditional cultures is included. On addition, as a large traditional agricultural country, China has many ancient village. However, the cultural experts are planning a large protection project than before.

8 . Five misunderstandings about loneliness
At some point in our lives, the chances are that you and I will feel lonely. It’s a problem that’s getting a lot of attention. It’s an important topic and one that causes a lot of misery, but there are plenty of misunderstandings surrounding it.
Feeling lonely is not the same as being alone. Loneliness is a sense that no one around you really understands you and that you don’t have the kind of meaningful connections you would like. Sometimes we want to be alone. But if we don’t have the choice to spend time with people who understand us, that’s when loneliness strikes.
There’s an epidemic(流行) of loneliness at the moment.
Loneliness is undoubtedly getting more common.
Loneliness is always bad.
Loneliness hurts. But it shouldn’t be seen as entirely negative.
Loneliness leads to ill health.
Most older people are lonely.
Loneliness is more common in old age than in other adults, but in her review of loneliness across the lifespan, Pamela Qualter found there is also a peak in teenage years.
A.Loneliness can be horrible. |
B.Loneliness is all about isolation(孤立). |
C.Instead, it can be the signal to us to look for new friends. |
D.Generally speaking, it’s harder for old people to overcome loneliness. |
E.But that doesn’t mean that a higher percentage of people feel lonely now. |
F.It is possible that unhappily isolated people are more likely to become ill. |
G.Meanwhile, studies show that 50-60% of older people are not often lonely. |
9 . “What’s your favorite color?” is a common question, particularly among children. However, there is a new color that might offer a partial solution to global warming by one day reducing the need for air conditioning (AC).
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, AC only causes a part of global greenhouse gas emissions. But that threat will continue to grow as temperatures rise with climate change, and people install (安装) more AC units. Facing this problem, researchers at Purdue University tried to replace the need for conditioning power and invented the world’s whitest paint. It is so white that it could efficiently reflect enough sunlight to cool off buildings.
In 2021, the researchers focused on two key parts of the white paint. The first is that the chemical mixture barium sulfate (BaSO3) can effectively reflect light. The second is that BaSO3 particles change in size allowing the paint to reflect more incoming light. The white paint reflects 98.1% of solar rays and sends out infrared heat (红外线热量) at the same time. Using highly accurate temperature-reading technology, researchers found that the paint kept surfaces 34.2°C cooler, even during the hottest hours of the day.
The white paint can be a suitable choice to replace traditional AC. Air cooling power uses an about 5 kilowatts per 1000 square meter, but the researchers showed that their white paint could double that amount of power. If this innovation (革新) is applied to the outside of buildings, AC will be replaced with paint.
The team is optimistic about getting this paint into the market. They are working with a company at present. The white color can change the way people think about their cooling systems. Instead of installing large AC units that already use a lot of electrical power, people can turn to the world’s whitest paint to do the same job.
1. Why did the researchers develop the whitest paint?A.To cut the cost of decorating buildings. |
B.To collect more sunlight to warm up rooms. |
C.To reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. |
D.To improve the cooling effect of air conditioners. |

B.The process of producing the paint. |
C.The effect of BaSO3 on global climate. |
D.The advantages of temperature-reading technology. |
A.It will control the paint market. |
B.It will change people’s lifestyle. |
C.It will help reduce energy consumption. |
D.It will earn a big profit for the company. |
A.A Key Solution to Global Warming |
B.A New Way to Reduce Light Pollution. |
C.A White Paint Has Been Brought into the Market. |
D.A White Paint Will Reduce the Need for Air Conditioning. |
10 . A survey found that children would rather be YouTubers than astronauts. But it’s not surprising that young people — up to 1.3 million in the UK — want to make money by creating social media content.
The lifestyles we see advertised on social media are attractive, but is being an influencer a successful career path? Underneath the shiny surface lie pay inequality and mental health issues. Successful influencers will be the first to claim that anyone can make it in the industry. But in reality, it’s far from the truth. Social media economy expert Brooke Erin Duffy says that for most people who are trying to become an influencer, their passion will often become free work for their companies.
Influencers are also often at the mercy of algorithms (演算法) — the behind-the-scenes computer programs that determine which posts are shown, in which order, to users. Platforms share little detail about their algorithms, yet they finally determine who and what gains attention and influence online, which are most valued by the influencers.
Constant online presence finally leads to one of the most widespread issues of the influencer industry: Mental health concerns. Influencers can connect to their platform workspaces and audience at any time of day or night — for many, there is no longer a clear separation between work and life. Coupled with the fear of losing attention, this can lead to influencers’ overwork and mental health issues.
Online visibility (关注度) also places content creators at risk of significant online abuse (恶语) — not only in relation to how they look or what they do (or don’t post), but also negative viewpoint of influencing as a career. The potential of online abuse can lead to mental and physical health issues, including depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.
Although becoming an influencer may look attractive to more and more people, the industry’s dark underside still needs to be improved through some rules and regulations in this industry.
1. What can we learn from Brooke Erin Duffy’s words?A.To tell people of the profit of social media. |
B.To stress that becoming an influencer is not easy. |
C.To prove the benefits of being a successful influencer. |
D.To show the relation between content creation and free work. |

C.Detail about algorithms. | D.Computer programs. |
A.Their career viewpoint and eating disorders. |
B.Their clear separation between work and life. |
C.Their fear of losing visibility and online abuse. |
D.Their connection to platform workspaces and audience. |
A.Positive. | B.Objective. | C.Unconcerned. | D.Hopeful. |
