3 . Examples of effective conservation of places matter to the world. They range from the 1960s Nubian campaign to safeguard Ancient Egyptian monuments from the waters of the Aswan Dam to the removal in 2018 of the Belize Barrier Reef from the List of World Heritage in Danger. Conservation is the core purpose of the World Heritage Convention and it may also be its biggest challenge.

The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable (可持续性) development. A year after Vienna was included on the World Heritage List in 2001, the World Heritage Committee (WHC) expressed concerns about the architectural solutions and height of four planned towers of the Wien-Mitte project. This development project, close to the Historic Centre of Vienna in the site’s buffer zone, the one that lies between two or more other areas, affected the urban scale (规模) and visual effects in and around the property (地产). As a result of the Committee’s concerns, Vienna changed its building codes and launched a new design competition for the Wien-Mitte project to work out architectural plans with reduced size in keeping with World Heritage protection.

The successful practice inspired the government of the city to invite over 600 experts and professionals from 55 countries to an international conference on World Heritage and contemporary architecture, held in Vienna in May 2005. The global discussion that followed, detailing an approach to managing conservation and development, was recorded in the UNESCO Recommendation in 2011.

The Recommendation put forwards an all-rounded and combined approach to balancing urban heritage (遗产) conservation and economic development, arguing that active protection and management of urban heritage supports the goal of sustainable development.

The Recommendation supports the harmonious combination of contemporary involvement into the historic urban framework while holding on to values linked to history, memory and the environment.

It is Mother’s Day today. Though it’s a western festival, it’s popular in China now.

Mom has a full-time job, so she has to do most of the houseworks. She is a great mother. Both Dad or I planned to do something on Mother’s Day. We get up early in the morning. Dad cleaned the house, and then went on shopping. When he came back, I found a bunch of flowers in her hand. I asked Mom to stay in the sitting room and I cooked in kitchen. The dishes what I cooked were Mom’s favoritest. At dinner, we said to her, “Happy Mother’s Day!” Mom was grateful and moving.

5 . In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.

The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.

“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”

“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”

His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic,which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.

1. Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?

A．They seldom   follow the French law.

B．They often ignore the Cuianese   law.

C．They are separated   the modern world.

D．They are both Cuianese and French citizens.

2. Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guiana     as       .

A．a tour guide	B．a geographer
C．a film director	D．a photographer

3. What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of indigenous Guianese?

A．Cautious.	B．Doubtful.
C．Uninterested	D．Apprecitive.

4. What       does the underlined        word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．The modera Frrnch       lifestyle.	B．The self-supporting hunting.
C．The uncivilized world.	D．The French Republic.

6 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

The word Nushu literally means “women’s writing” in Chinese: As the name suggests, Nushu is created and specially used by women.

Often     1    (call) “the world’s only surviving characters for women”, these slim words were developed from standard written Chinese. In the old days, Nushu     2    ( teach) by elderly women to girls at home because female children weren’t allowed     3    (attend) formal school. During gatherings in villages, women used the characters to write poems or song lyrics to express their emotions     4     were hidden from men. The words were full    5     encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at that time.

Ji Xianlin once said that Nushu is a feminist (女权主义者) symbol. “It’s    6     unique writing system created by    7    (talent) women who were deprived (剥夺) of the right to education,” he wrote in an article. “It has significance in various     8    (field) and represents Chinese people’s strong spirit.”

Nushu was made as a national cultural heritage in 2006. However, it is not     9    (wide) used in daily life today. In fact, it is a dying language. Now linguists are taking action to prevent this incredible cultural heritage from    10    (disappear).

7 . After finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill. Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States. It’s rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your “lucky fortune” on the slip of paper inside.

The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown. It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914, after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with “thank you” notes in them. These “thank you” notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.

There is an alternate origin story. Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie’s invention. In this version of the story, David Jung, a Chinese immigrant residing in L. A., is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless. In 1918, Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.

Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture during WWII. Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts, as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine. Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture. In fact, the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day —— an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack. However, an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure, and the cookie was cited for being “too American.”

So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future, remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.

1. What do we know about fortune cookies?

A．They are as popular in China as in America.

B．They contain slips of paper with good wishes.

C．They first appeared in America during WWII.

D．They are often charged to the customers’ bill.

2. Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco?

A．To make profit.

B．To express gratitude.

C．To uplift people’s spirits.

D．To help people out of hardship.

3. Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung’ s cookies?

A．The fortune you seek is in another cookie.

B．Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.

C．I’m being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.

D．Only taste fortune cookies; disregard all others.

4. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A Symbol of Chinese Culture

B．Chinese Restaurants in America

C．Can fortune cookie tell your fortune?

D．Fortune cookie, Chinese or American?
