27、If you're from the northern hemisphere (北半球), you'll find Christmas to be rather different in New Zealand. 【1】 December is in the middle of summer in New Zealand.Many visitors from the US or Europe can't quite get used to having a barbecue on the beach as Christmas dinner.However, Christmas marks the beginning of the summer holidays for most New Zealanders.
【2】 One of the bestknown Christmas events is the Farmers Santa Parade in Auckland, which has been a feature (特点) of the Auckland Christmas since 1934.It attracts thousands of visitors every year and is a great event for children.
New Zealanders continue the British tradition of having a family dinner during the middle of the day on Christmas Day.It usually begins on Christmas morning by exchanging presents which will be left under the Christmas tree in the home.【3】 Often it is a barbecue in the garden.However,the traditional Christmas food, such as turkey, ham and roast potatoes, is still very popular, along with salad and glasses of wine.
It may seem a bit strange to hear songs, such as White Christmas or Deck the Halls, in the middle of summer!Nevertheless, Christmas carols (颂歌) are popular.【4】

28、Before war and time destroy more of our important cultural sites, we need to save them in 3-D digital libraries. Across 163 different countries, 1,000 natural and cultural historic places make up our most precious human heritage, which UNESCO calls World Heritage Sites.
We lose a little of that heritage every day. War, climate change and pollution have a bad effect, as do wind and rain. The $4 million a year that UNESCO spends on preservation is not nearly enough to take care of even the four dozen sites considered at approaching risk of being lost forever. Now there’s a better choice. New digital-conservation technologies let us hold on to them, at least virtually (虚拟地), through 3-D scanning, modeling and digital storage. Such projects can be accomplished (完成) through cooperation between governments, universities, industry and non-profit organizations.
To make a 3-D model, a laser (激光) scanner bounces light off an object and records the results. To reproduce every corner and opening, the scanner collects overlapping (重叠的) images from all possible angles. A computer then sews them together into one large surface image and draws lines from one point to another to create a wire-frame model. High-resolution digital cameras add color and texture. When fully put together, the models can be viewed, printed or operated.
These scans do more than preserve a memory in a database. With highly accurate measurements, archaeologists (考古学家) can find hidden passages or reveal ancient engineering tricks. School kids can explore places they might otherwise never see. And when a site is destroyed, the scans can even be used to reconstruct what was there. That has already happened for one World Heritage Site, the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda. Built of wood in 1882, they were destroyed by fire in 2010 and rebuilt in 2014, based in large part on 3-D models made in 2009. More than 100 World Heritage Sites have been already preserved as 3-D models, and conservationists are racing to record as many more as possible.
【1】How does the author show the necessity for 3-D digital libraries in the first two paragraphs?
A.By listing the threats to our human heritage.
B.By introducing some damaged historical sites.
C.By quoting some experts’ views on heritage protection.
D.By explaining UNESCO’s research on World Heritage Sites.
【2】From Paragraph 3 we learn that ________.
A.The function of a laser scanner is to add color and texture to the image.
B.The reflection of light off an object is recorded in a computer.
C.The process of making a 3-D model is successfully carried out with the help of a laser scanner, a computer and high-resolution digital cameras.
D.High-resolution digital cameras make the models viewable, printable, and operable.
【3】What do we know about the Kasubi Tombs in Uganda?
A.It is metal-framed.
B.It is still in its original condition.
C.It was once destroyed in an earthquake.
D.It was reconstructed thanks to 3-D models.
【4】What does the author intend to say through this text?
A.Never ignore the destructive power of war.
B.Take action to reduce pollution in historic places.
C.Take advantage of 3-D technology to keep history.
D.Invest more money to preserve World Heritage Sites.
29、As a child, Marta was surprisingly creative, painting pictures before she received any formal training. At age 8, she informed me she planned to become a film-maker and stuck to that until, at 17, she and I decided that instead of taking a course in film, she should be apprenticed to a brilliant sound editor, Bruce Nyznik, and his talented associates such as Peter Tilley, with whom I was then working.
Marta's love of trains led to the creation of her first film, Train of Thought, in 1991.After that transition from sound to film, she continued to direct and produce, as well as edit. Her works include Shattered Dreams, a 2006 documentary about a disadvantaged youth in Toronto; The Saviour of Ceylon, a film about the heroism of RCAF officer Leonard Birchall; and the seven - part television series Being 80with Jean Vanier.
Marta was diagnosed with cancer nine years before her death. She saw her cancer as something to be grateful for because it made her concentrate her attention on lasting spiritual realities, rather than the temporary passions that define most of our lives and most of the time.
Marta had worked as an editor and director on more than 30 films with Jean Vanier , the founder of L' Arche, an international organization that assists the developmentally handicapped. So she came to her great trial with some hope that her physical pain could promote spiritual growth. She had had little contact with formal religious practice, so what changed her was having to find the meaning of the cancer that threatened her life.
In her final year or so, she began to write about her experience with cancer and the enlightenment that came with it. She meant to give purpose to her life by helping others. Above all, she wanted her friends and family to share the help she was able to give.
In a conversation shortly before Marta's death, I expressed some discouragement in my life, and she advised me to concentrate on something for which I was grateful.
【1】What did Marta do in order to achieve her goal?
A.She decided to pay a visit to Bruce Nyznik.
