26、Heritage is our legacy (遗产) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China make up our world’s heritage.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied (体现)in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.

How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.

1)If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.

2)The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.

3)After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.

4)Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn’t taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.

27、Sheep herding is a profitable industry in China. However, if farmers want to earn more, they have to solve a range of problems such as scale expansion, processing and marketing, which is almost impossible relying on only their individual strength. But farmers in Nanxiaozhai village in the Shanxi city of Huairen, have found a solution.

Guo Jianqiang, a resident in Nanxiaozhai, said he started his business in 2013 by raising about 300 sheep. The number has since increased to 1,000. “I earned an income of 2 million yuan ( $309,000) last year and the amount is expected to reach 9 million yuan this year,” he said.

Guo attributed the growth to the establishment of a sheep cooperative, which helped to expand operational scale and sales channels with the joint force of stockholders.

According to Guo Zhidong, Party secretary of the village, Nanxiaozhai now has a total of 89 such cooperatives. The cooperatives have also developed a full industrial chain for sheep, ranging from raising, slaughtering and land processing to their sale.

Nanxiaozhai has a long history in the sheep industry, according to the village Party chief, who explained that was a natural choice out of the village’s environmental conditions. In Nanxiaozhai, residents used to farm on the infertile land and the grain yield could hardly support their existence.

It was Wang Yueming, Cao Zhiguo and other villagers who started their business as sheep dealers in the late 1970s. “They could earn up to 20 yuan for selling a sheep,” Guo Zhidong said. “That was a very large income at that time.” Later, about 80 percent of the villagers were engaged in the business but they found purchasing sheep from neighboring villages became more difficult because of limited output. So they began to raise sheep themselves.

The village business has boosted the sheep industry in Huairen city as a whole. Statistics show the city’s annual output of sheep is about 6 million heads, making it a renowned sheep-producing base in Shanxi.

【1】What is the problem faced by farmers in Nanxiaozhai?

A．Finding better places to sell lamb.

B．Making larger profits on their own.

C．Satisfying the demand for more sheep.

D．Destroying the environment with herds.

【2】What does the underlined word “slaughtering” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Producing.

B．Counting.

C．Holding.

D．Killing.

【3】What can we say about residents in Nanxiaozhai?

A．They are proud to be sheep dealers.

B．They adapt to the conditions successfully.

C．They are opposed to buying sheep elsewhere.

D．They benefit substantially from working the land.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Rise and Fall of Nanxiaozhai Village

B．Sheep Herding Brings Prosperity Flocking

C．The Switch from Sheep Industry to Farming

D．Establishing Cooperatives Boosts Connections

28、Many of us are used to hearing stories of people being pickpocketed in busy places. But most of us are aware of the dangers, so we are safe – at least, we think we are.

According to a BBC program, a growing number of thieves are trying to “hack (侵入) our mind’s weaknesses” to get their hands on our possessions. “In fact, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket isn’t having quick fingers,” said the program. By using psychology, some pickpockets are taking advantage of the loopholes (漏洞) in our brains.

Our lack of ability to multitask is one of the most important loopholes used by pickpockets, the program explains. While this can often be a good trait, allowing us to focus on the most important details in our surroundings, “a good trickster can use it against you,” said neuroscientist Suzana Martinez-Conde.

“It’s all about directing people’s attention toward something else,” said James Brown, who studies the tricks of pickpocketing. Confidence, the power of suggestion, and certain hand movements such as moving your hands in an arc (弧形) are all said to be things that fool us.

Groups of pickpockets use a common trick designed to create a scene and confuse victims. The first gang (团伙) member, a “blocker”, walks in front of the victim and suddenly bumps into them. A second member of the gang then bumps into both of them from behind and stages an argument with the “blocker”. In the confusion, both men steal what they can and pass it to a third thief who quickly runs off with the stolen goods.

Some thieves go even further to exploit our psychology by hanging out near signs reading “beware of pickpockets”. Since this is one of the last places people expect to be robbed, many check where their valuables are, giving away their location to thieves.

But according to Brown, as long as we don’t daydream in public, we shouldn’t be worried. “A street thief will avoid like the plague (瘟疫) people who are demonstrating a very open awareness of their environment,” he said.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To stimulate the readers’ interest.

B．To draw the readers’ attention to the topic.

C．To emphasize the focus of the passage.

D．To remind the readers of pickpockets.

【2】How do thieves manage to steal from victims according to the BBC program?

A．By practicing stealing skills frequently

B．By having quick fingers and a brave heart.

C．By studying psychology carefully

D．By distracting and confusing victims.

【3】The 5th paragraph is mainly developed _________.

A．By giving examples

B．By listing statistics

C．By making comparisons

D．By classifying facts

【4】James Brown thinks people who ________ are more likely to be pickpocketed.

A．often hang out near signs

B．don’t know more about psychology

C．are absent-minded in public

D．are aware of their environment

At first, they stand there with a ________face but later you can see the ________ in their eyes because everyone walks by the stands uninterested.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people 【1】 value individualism--the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the 【2】 that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work 【3】 and find answers by themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.

In most Asia societies, on the contrary, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient 【4】 society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching 【5】 are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that have memorized.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these 【6】 of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it 【7】students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an 【8】 learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they have memorized.

The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values 【9】 ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven’t 【10】 as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
