But it is also an area of small farms.People there still use a type of agriculture(农业)that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but that has almost completely disappeared in modern times.The city of Brasilia，BrazilBrasilia 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

first sites to be listed in 1978.It is one of the highest mountainous areas in Africa，and the WHL calls it “one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world”It is also important for its

buildings in the world.Over three hundred years ago，Shah Jehan built the Taj Mahal as the tomb for his wife.Shah Jehan wanted his wifes tomb perfect.He did not care about time or money.He brought together workmen from all Asia.Altogether，over 20，000 men worked on the building，and it took them twentytwo years to finish it.The building rests on a platform(平台)of red sandstone.Four thin white towers rise from the corners of the platform.A large dome(圆屋顶)rests from the centre of the building.Around this large dome there are four smaller ones.The building is made of fine white and coloured marble(大理石)It has eight sides and many arches.There is an open corridor(走廊)just inside the outer walls.From this corridor, the visitor looks through the marble screen to a central room.The bodies of Shah Jehan and his wife lie in a tomb below this room.A beautiful garden surrounds the Taj Mahal.The green trees make the marble look even whiter.In front of the main entrance to the building there is a long，narrow pool.If you look in this pool，you can see all the beauty of the Taj Mahal in the reflection(倒影)from the water.Many people think the Taj Mahal is most beautiful at sunset.Then the marble picks up the colour of the sunset，and the building and its reflection in the pool shine like red jewels.【语篇解读】文章从泰姬陵的修建目的、建筑结构、建造材料、周围绿化、陵前水池及落晖中的美景介绍了泰姬陵。9According to the passage，the Taj Mahal

China.Since the discovery，which changed Chinas 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 southwest 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 heritageit is of vital importance that we do something.If not，it will be a catastrophe”【语篇解读】北京周口店文化遗址对中国乃至对世界对人类起源的研究都具有巨大意义，但其现状并不让人放心，各种破坏给其带来了严重影响。人们正着力对其进行保护。12Why is Zhoukoudian of great importance in China?ABecause the site tells some information about how man lived in the old times.BBecause it has brought in lots of money as a place of interest.CBecause it is the only place in China on the World Cultural Heritage List.DBecause it changed our knowledge of Chinas history of the 1920s.解析：细节理解题。从第一段中的“which changed Chinas knowledge of its history”可知，周口店文化遗址的发现使人们对人类的历史有了更新的认识，故选A。答案：A13What is the second paragraph about?AZhoukoudians discovery.BZhoukoudians future.CZhoukoudian is in danger.DZhoukoudians protection.解析：主旨大意题。第二段开头第一句即为本段主题句，以下几个方面都是作者围绕周口店所面临的状况进行的分析。答案：C14The passage suggests that to repair Zhoukoudian，Chinese Academy of Sciences is seeking help from _Aarchaeologists from all over the worldBgovernment and the publicCexperts from UNESCODvisitors解析：细节理解题。从第五段中的“the general public be encouraged to help with the problem”及第六段中的“We have requested that the government get involved，but we also need assistance from ordinary people.”可知答案。答案：B15Which of the following can replace the underlined word “catastrophe”？ACase. BWorry. CWonder. DDisaster.解析：猜测词义题。从本段的“it is of vital importance that we do something”可知“因此如果不这样，那将是一场灾难”符合文章的语境，因此catastrophe意为“灾难”。答案：D第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Life comes in a
