Unit 4　Protecting our heritage sites
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题2.5分,共20分)
A
(2025·八省联考)
Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city—in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair,whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密) and exciting urban environments.She prefers disorder to order,walking to driving,and diversity to uniformity.
For Jacobs,urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials.The best judges of how a city should be—and how it should develop—are the local residents themselves.Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions,because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community,especially the sidewalks.The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks,which allow people to meet,talk,and get to know one another.Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also,for Jacobs,key elements of this urban form.The commercial,business,and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side,to allow for greater integration of people.There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings,and people’s interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally,urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live,
work,and interact.Such high-density spaces are,she feels,engines of creativity and vitality.They are also safe places to be,because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”:Shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.
(　　)1.What does Jacobs find most important for a successful urban community
[A] Efficient public transport.
[B] Strong interaction between people.
[C] Uniform style of buildings.
[D] A comparatively large population.
(　　)2.Who does Jacobs think should make decisions on urban development
[A] Local residents. [B] Government officials.
[C] City planners. [D] Construction workers.
(　　)3.How does Jacobs suggest sidewalks be built
[A] Lined with plants. [B] Painted with clear signs.
[C] Tightly connected. [D] Convenient for the old.
(　　)4.According to Jacobs,the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of 　　　.
[A] pride [B] comfort
[C] security [D] urgency
B
Wherever we go,we are surrounded by history.Across the globe,cultural heritage is passed down through the generations.It is in the buildings and structures around us.It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品) we treasure.It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell.But today,it is under attack as never before.Not only are the damages of time threatening our cultural heritage,but conflicts,climate change,globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price.Technology is now the most essential weapon in the battle.Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.
As you can imagine,creating the replicas (复制品) via crowd-sourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming.Increasingly,artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are being used to do all the required sourcing,allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours.AI will also make restoration and preservation of the existing cultural heritage far easier and it’s vastly superior to previous methods.
Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years.Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely fragile.Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm.Wastes accumulate everywhere,causing enormous problems.As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded,VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them.We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places,look at (and touch) artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.
Finally,our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology.Efforts in research,
innovation,data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.
(　　)5. What does the underlined word “exacting” in Paragraph 1 mean
[A] Paying. [B] Cutting. [C] Receiving. [D] Demanding.
(　　)6. What is the advantage of AI in preserving cultural heritage
[A] It generates 2D images.
[B] It makes restoration easier.
[C] It makes preservation safer.
[D] It creates replicas in seconds.
(　　)7. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage
[A] By recycling huge amounts of wastes.
[B] By reducing human impact on the sites.
[C] By forbidding visitors from touching artifacts.
[D] By educating people about the sites’ importance.
(　　)8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
[A] How Technology Changes Art
[B] What Cultural Heritage Means to Us
[C] Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced
[D] Prepare for a Revolution in Technology

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city—in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair,whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密) and exciting urban environments.
She prefers disorder to order,walking to driving,and diversity to uniformity.
For Jacobs,urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials.The best judges of how a city should be—and how it should develop—are the local residents themselves.Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions,because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community,especially the sidewalks.The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks,which allow people to meet,
talk,and get to know one another.Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also,for Jacobs,key elements of this urban form.The commercial,business,and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side,to allow for greater integration of people.There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings,and people’s interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally,urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live,work,and interact.Such high-density spaces are,she feels,
engines of creativity and vitality.They are also safe places to be,because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”:Shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.
