阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments.And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL).But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious.Let’s look at a few of them.
Robben Island in South Africa
This island was used through the centuries as a prison, a hospital and a military base.But it’s probably most famous as a maximum security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century.Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents.The WHL says it represents “the victory of democracy (民主) and freedom over oppression and racism (种族主义)”.
The Border Area between France and Spain
This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations (地质构造).But it is also an area of small farms.People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.
The City of Brasilia, Brazil
Brasilia 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 buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully.Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planners and architects.
Simien National Park, Ethiopia
Simien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978.It is one of the highest mountain areas in Africa, and the WHL calls it “one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world”.It is also important for its wildlife.The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.
(　B　)21.Why has WHL listed Robben Island in South Africa
A.For the type of agriculture.
B.For its political symbol.
C.For the interesting geological formations.
D.For the great natural beauty.
(　A　)22.Which of the following was listed on the WHL for its natural scenery and wildlife
A.Simien National Park, Ethiopia.
B.The City of Brasilia, Brazil.
C.The Border Area between France and Spain.
D.Robben Island in South Africa.
(　D　)23.Why does the writer write this passage
A.To describe the remains of ancient cultures on the WHL.
B.To introduce the famous heritage sites on the WHL.
C.To talk about places of artistic or cultural importance.
D.To introduce some of the not so obvious sites on the WHL.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在《世界遗产名录》(WHL)上不是很引人注目的一些遗产。
21.B　【解析】 细节理解题。根据Robben Island in South Africa部分中的“The WHL says it represents ‘the victory of democracy (民主) and freedom over oppression and racism (种族主义)’”可知,WHL把南非的罗本岛列入《世界遗产名录》是出于政治因素。
22.A　【解析】 细节理解题。根据Simien National Park, Ethiopia部分中的“Simien National Park…calls it ‘one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world’.It is also important for its wildlife.”可知,Simien National Park是以壮观的美景和野生生物闻名的。
23.D　【解析】 写作意图题。根据第一段中的“But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious.Let’s look at a few of them.”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一些在《世界遗产名录》上不是很引人注目的遗产。
B
The Liangzhu Museum in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, houses a treasure trove(宝库) of jade, lacquerware (漆器) and numerous artifacts, but what has impressed Emma Chen, a volunteer coming from the United States, the most is its black pottery collection, which shows unique symbols that some scholars think are inscriptions (铭文) from another era.
Her passion for Chinese history happened before she was majoring in Oriental Studies.She learned Chinese during her college days in the US, and the interest ultimately drove her across the Pacific Ocean.Coming to China in early 2015 after graduating, she became a member of the museum’s volunteer team in 2022.Chen said her frequent visits to the museum led to them making an offer.However, being a bilingual volunteer guide is not without its share of challenges.Chen has read numerous books on Chinese history and visited many museums in China to overcome problems.
For Chen, Liangzhu Museum has become “a big family” that gives her a sense of belonging.“What fascinates me even more is that the museum itself is inclusive,” she said.“It opens its arms, welcoming everyone who comes here, regardless of their backgrounds.I hope everyone can walk into museums and get a glimpse of the rich and profound history behind the cultural relics.”
Chen has visited many museums in China, such as the Yinxu Museum in Henan Province and the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province.But in her eyes, Liangzhu Museum is a valuable treasure that cannot be replaced because she believes every word that is written on a wall in the hall of the museum, “Liangzhu is the most concrete proof of 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation”.In 2019, the Liangzhu ruins made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
(　A　)24.What possibly contributes to Emma Chen’s work as a volunteer
A.Diligence and enthusiasm.
B.Passion and bravery.
C.Interest and generosity.
D.Ambition and intelligence.
(　B　)25.What does the underlined part actually mean in Paragraph 3
A.The museum includes varieties of collections.
B.The museum welcomes people from all walks of life.
C.People can get a glimpse of the rich and profound history of the museum.
D.The museum opens its arms to people free of charge.
(　C　)26.Why does Emma Chen regard Liangzhu Museum a precious treasure
A.The museum houses a treasure trove of jade, lacquerware and artifacts.
B.The black pottery collection leaves a deep impression on her.
C.The Liangzhu Museum can best show Chinese civilisation.
D.The Liangzhu ruins made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
(　C　)27.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A.To promote the Liangzhu Museum in Hangzhou.
B.To compare different kinds of museums in China.
C.To introduce an American volunteer for a Chinese museum.
D.To praise an American volunteer’s determination.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国志愿者Emma Chen因热爱中国历史而来到中国,成为良渚博物馆双语志愿者导游的经历。
24.A　【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Her passion for Chinese history happened…and the interest ultimately drove her across the Pacific Ocean.”及“Chen has read numerous books on Chinese history and visited many museums in China to overcome problems.”可知,Emma热爱中国历史,这份热爱让她跨越太平洋来到中国,并且Emma克服了成为双语志愿者导游的挑战,通过阅读和实地参观提高自己的能力。由此可知,勤奋和热爱使Emma成为一名志愿者。
25.B　【解析】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“It opens its arms, welcoming everyone who comes here, regardless of their backgrounds.”可知,良渚博物馆欢迎所有前来参观的人。由此可知,画线部分表示博物馆具有包容性,即欢迎各行各业的人。
26.C　【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“because she believes…‘Liangzhu is the most concrete proof of 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation’”可知,Emma这样认为是因为良渚博物馆最能展示中国的五千年文明。
27.C　【解析】 写作意图题。通读全文可知,文章围绕来自美国的志愿者Emma Chen展开,讲述了她对中国历史的热情驱使她来到中国,并成为良渚博物馆双语志愿者导游的经历,涵盖了她的个人背景、动机、挑战以及她对博物馆的归属感和对中华文明的认识。由此可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一个为中国博物馆服务的美国志愿者。

The government in China’s Gansu Province recently completed the building of a 3D database (数据库) to digitally map the Great Wall in order to ensure better protection.The database contains all the information collected through advanced technology and produces 3D images of the part of the Great Wall in Shandan County.
The sections of the Great Wall in Gansu stretch for 3,654 kilometres.Over the past few years, the Gansu provincial cultural heritage bureau has carried out more than 30 protection projects, using digital technology as a new method.The Shandan part stretches for over 200 kilometres, which was mostly built from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.The part in Xiakou Village is the main part.“The Great Wall in Xiakou has weathered over a long period of time.It now appears to have cracking and other matters,” said Bai Yuzhang, a member of the Shandan cultural relic protection bureau, adding that other relics, such as ancient street buildings, have also suffered different degrees of damage.
During the past two years, the local government has carried out several projects to repair the Xiakou part and started the digitalisation project in 2021.The project is arduous.The team used UAV photography and remote sensing mapping technologies to take photos of the Great Wall.Then they worked day and night to make 3D models based on data analysis.It was a difficult process but they finally overcame problems with great determination.
After more than a year of data collection and analysis, the database has been completed and the system is preparing for final acceptance.“Digitalisation breaks the limi-tations of time and space so that all kinds of cultural relics are available to users.They can understand the rich historical and cultural meaning of the relics,” Bai said.“The database is not only valuable historical materials of cultural relics, but also a stepping stone to future research, protection and application of the Great Wall heritage,” he added.

B.Influential.
C.Challenging.
D.Mysterious.
(　C　)30.What is the advantage of digitalisation according to Bai Yuzhang
A.It collects data about weather conditions.
B.It prevents the relics from being damaged.
C.It makes it easy for people to admire relics.
D.It breaks the limitations of mapping technology.
(　B　)31.What is the best title for the text
A.The Great Wall Reflects History
B.Digital Tech Helps Protect the Great Wall
C.Damage to the Great Wall Is Taken Seriously
D.Great Progress Has Been Made in 3D Images

If you walk through a park in the morning, you’ll see a series of beautiful movements performed in a slow, focused manner with deep breathing.While this may be a common sight for many, this practice was recently given remarkable acknowledgement.On 17 Dec, 2020, China’s tai chi was officially listed on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Tai chi is “a traditional physical practice characterised by relaxed, circular (环形的) movements that work in harmony with breath regulation and the cultivation of a righteous (正直的) and neutral mind”, noted China Daily.The origins of tai chi can be traced to Wenxian County in Henan Province in the mid-17th century.Now it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practise.
Tai chi can be practised anytime and anywhere without equipment.It is a practical way for one to further balance, motor control and rhythm of movement.However, for many, it is more than just exercise.“Tai chi is not just a sport to make people fit, but also contains Chinese culture and philosophy that can make people peaceful,” Yan Shuangjun, a researcher of tai chi, said.
Marleni Calcina from Peru is an example of the many people who have benefited from tai chi.She has practised tai chi for more than 10 years.For her, it’s a way of life.Tai chi has taught her the value of “going slowly”.She once felt great stress at work and in her life, but that began to change thanks to tai chi, which helped her “gain peace and inner harmony”.She said, “For me now, practising tai chi is like speaking with my soul.”

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。
Archaeologists may have found the location of an ancient Greek city, Kane.For more than 400 years, what happened to Kane has confused experts.The city, mentioned in many ancient texts, was on one of a group of three islands in the Aegean Sea.　36　 Two of the islands, now known as the Garip Islands, are still there.
However, the third island, an important stopping point on ancient trade routes, no longer appeared on maps made after the 16th century.No one knew why.
Geo-archaeologists have helped solve the mystery.　37　 New evidence suggests that this former island is a mainland peninsula (半岛) now.That’s almost completely surrounded by water.
　38　 At one time, a channel between two areas of land separated (分开) the island and the mainland.“The original channel was blocked out,” said Felix Pirson, the leader of the study.That means the space between the island and the mainland was filled with materials carried by running water.That’s how the peninsula formed.
　39　 For scientists, this suggests that the land there had formed somewhat recently, perhaps because of the earthquakes.
The scientists are looking forward to doing further testing.　40　 They said that this could provide them with more information about the area during ancient times.“The aim is to reconstruct the ancient environment to understand history,” said Felix Pirson.
A.They said that the island didn’t disappear.
B.How did the island turn into a peninsula
C.The ancient city of Kane gave its name to the peninsula.
D.These islands were all located off the coast of modern-day Turkey.
E.The lost island is believed to be the site where the famous battle of Arginusae took place.
F.Instead of finding solid ground, the geo-archaeologists discovered loose soil and rock.
G.They hope to figure out exactly when the land bridge between the mainland and the island formed.
36.　D　　37.　A　　38.　B　
39.　F　　40.　G　
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕“400多年前,希腊的古城凯恩到底发生了什么 ”这个问题展开,该问题一直困扰着考古学家,随着古城位置的发现,它神秘的面纱或将被揭开。
36.D　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。空格前提到这座城市位于爱琴海的三个岛屿之一,空格后提到其中的两个岛屿仍然在那里,选项D“这些岛屿都位于现代土耳其的海岸线外”符合语境。
37.A　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据下文中的“New evidence suggests that this former island is a mainland peninsula (半岛) now.”可知,空格处会提到这个岛并没有消失,选项A“他们说这个岛没有消失”符合语境。
38.B　【解析】 考查段落大意。根据下文可知,本段主要讲述了半岛是如何形成的。选项B“这个岛是怎么变成半岛的 ”能概括本段段落大意。
39.F　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据下文中的“For scientists, this suggests that the land there had formed somewhat recently, perhaps because of the earthquakes.”可知,空格处会提到科学家发现的某种迹象,选项F“地质考古学家没有找到坚实的地面,而是发现了松散的土壤和岩石”符合语境。
40.G　【解析】 考查学生对上下文的理解。根据上文中的“The scientists are looking forward to doing further testing.”可知,空格处会提到科学家们做进一步测试的目的,选项G“他们希望弄清楚大陆和岛屿之间的陆地桥是什么时候形成的”承接上文。

China’s “Cultural and Natural Heritage Day” falls on the second Saturday of June every year.Many celebrations are held and all cultural relic protection sites are 　41　 to open for free to the public on the day.There is no 　42　 that different kinds of celebrating activities across the country will arouse (唤醒) public 　43　 of the importance of cultural heritage protection and 　44　 the young people to love the fine 　45　 culture of the motherland.
China faces a heavy task to protect and rescue its cultural 　46　.We need to consider seriously the harm of the lack of awareness about cultural heritage protection.　47　, Heritage Education is one of our main approaches.People cannot 　48　 value cultural heritage if they do not know 　49　 it is important or how to protect it.Over the past several years, the protection centre has 　50　 over a hundred educational seminars (研讨会) to different groups, such as schools, government offices, 　51　 the general public.Many people have attended the seminars.Typically, each seminar lasts two to three hours and 　52　 of an informative presentation, 　53　 by a longer question-and-answer session and discussion.Each attender with limited knowledge of cultural heritage 　54　 it to be just the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.People often think that the duty only belongs to the government.So “Cultural and Natural Heritage Day” will be a welcome 　55　 to educate a wide public on world heritage protection.

　　阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
As a child growing up in China, I was always fascinated by Kunqu, a traditional Chinese opera originated in the Ming Dynasty, also listed as the world’s intangible cultural heritage.I would often watch the traditional performances with awe, enchanted by the grace and elegance of the performers on stage.
Though I loved Kunqu, I never thought I could learn it, believing it was something only the most talented and experienced could master.However, one day, my friends invited me to attend a grand Kunqu performance in Suzhou, China, which really made me feel an urge to take on the challenge and learn it.
However, my journey learning Kunqu was not easy.I had to learn the basics of the ancient art form, from the complex techniques used to create the unique vocal style to the complex hand gestures that added a sense of elegance and grace to the movements.It was not just a matter of physical training; I needed to understand the rich history and cultural significance that Kunqu represented.
My first few lessons were rough and I found myself struggling to keep up with the pace of the class.I was disappointed that I couldn’t match the other classmates’ skill level, and I found myself feeling discouraged.However, with countless efforts and dedi-cation, I gradually saw improvements.My voice became stronger and more expressive, and my gestures flowed more naturally.I was fascinated by the subtle differences of the style, and began to develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Kunqu.
As I spent more time immersed in the world of Kunqu, I began to appreciate the depth of knowledge that went into each performance.Everything from the beautiful makeup and costumes to the props (道具) and music was carefully chosen to convey a particular mood or theme.I studied the classical texts that formed the basis of the Kunqu opera, from The Song of the Pipa Player to The Peony Pavilion, working hard to understand the distinction of language and meaning within each work.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Soon, I began to perform in small shows with my fellow classmates.We would gather in a local community centre or theatre, dressing up in our brightly coloured costumes and applying our makeup with care.I loved the feeling of stepping onto the stage in front of an audience.Every time we performed, I felt like my whole world sort of melt away and I was completely immersing myself in such an amazing opera.My voice was delicate and smooth, my movements and gestures elegant and fluent.Finally, my wonderful performances earned myself a reputation as a rising star in the Kunqu community.What a great privilege to show that I was part of a centuries-old tradition that had entertained viewers for generations!
Paragraph 2:
However, as my reputation grew, I desperately desired to share it with more people.I started to look for opportunities to perform in a more public setting, volunteering at local festivals and cultural events.I spoke to audiences about the history of Kunqu and what it meant to me personally, hoping to inspire others to explore the art form for themselves.As I continued to spread the word about Kunqu, I found that my efforts were paying off.More and more people were becoming interested in this traditional Chinese art form, and I began receiving invitations to perform around the world.I travelled to cities in Europe, Asia, and North America, sharing the beauty of Kunqu with audiences of all ages and backgrounds.Unit 1核心素养测评卷

A
If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments.And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL).But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious.Let’s look at a few of them.
Robben Island in South Africa
This island was used through the centuries as a prison, a hospital and a military base.But it’s probably most famous as a maximum security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century.Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents.The WHL says it represents “the victory of democracy (民主) and freedom over oppression and racism (种族主义)”.
The Border Area between France and Spain
This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations (地质构造).But it is also an area of small farms.People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.
The City of Brasilia, Brazil
Brasilia 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 buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully.Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planners and architects.
Simien National Park, Ethiopia
Simien National Park was one of the first sites to be listed in 1978.It is one of the highest mountain areas in Africa, and the WHL calls it “one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world”.It is also important for its wildlife.The population of some rare animals is getting smaller and smaller.
( )21.Why has WHL listed Robben Island in South Africa
A.For the type of agriculture.
B.For its political symbol.
C.For the interesting geological formations.
D.For the great natural beauty.
( )22.Which of the following was listed on the WHL for its natural scenery and wildlife
A.Simien National Park, Ethiopia.
B.The City of Brasilia, Brazil.
C.The Border Area between France and Spain.
D.Robben Island in South Africa.
( )23.Why does the writer write this passage
A.To describe the remains of ancient cultures on the WHL.
B.To introduce the famous heritage sites on the WHL.
C.To talk about places of artistic or cultural importance.
D.To introduce some of the not so obvious sites on the WHL.

The Liangzhu Museum in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, houses a treasure trove(宝库) of jade, lacquerware (漆器) and numerous artifacts, but what has impressed Emma Chen, a volunteer coming from the United States, the most is its black pottery collection, which shows unique symbols that some scholars think are inscriptions (铭文) from another era.
Her passion for Chinese history happened before she was majoring in Oriental Studies.She learned Chinese during her college days in the US, and the interest ultimately drove her across the Pacific Ocean.Coming to China in early 2015 after graduating, she became a member of the museum’s volunteer team in 2022.Chen said her frequent visits to the museum led to them making an offer.However, being a bilingual volunteer guide is not without its share of challenges.Chen has read numerous books on Chinese history and visited many museums in China to overcome problems.
For Chen, Liangzhu Museum has become “a big family” that gives her a sense of belonging.“What fascinates me even more is that the museum itself is inclusive,” she said.“It opens its arms, welcoming everyone who comes here, regardless of their backgrounds.I hope everyone can walk into museums and get a glimpse of the rich and profound history behind the cultural relics.”
Chen has visited many museums in China, such as the Yinxu Museum in Henan Province and the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province.But in her eyes, Liangzhu Museum is a valuable treasure that cannot be replaced because she believes every word that is written on a wall in the hall of the museum, “Liangzhu is the most concrete proof of 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation”.In 2019, the Liangzhu ruins made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
( )24.What possibly contributes to Emma Chen’s work as a volunteer
A.Diligence and enthusiasm.
B.Passion and bravery.
C.Interest and generosity.
D.Ambition and intelligence.
( )25.What does the underlined part actually mean in Paragraph 3
A.The museum includes varieties of collections.
B.The museum welcomes people from all walks of life.
C.People can get a glimpse of the rich and profound history of the museum.
D.The museum opens its arms to people free of charge.
( )26.Why does Emma Chen regard Liangzhu Museum a precious treasure
A.The museum houses a treasure trove of jade, lacquerware and artifacts.
B.The black pottery collection leaves a deep impression on her.
C.The Liangzhu Museum can best show Chinese civilisation.
D.The Liangzhu ruins made it to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
( )27.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A.To promote the Liangzhu Museum in Hangzhou.
B.To compare different kinds of museums in China.
C.To introduce an American volunteer for a Chinese museum.
D.To praise an American volunteer’s determination.

The government in China’s Gansu Province recently completed the building of a 3D database (数据库) to digitally map the Great Wall in order to ensure better protection.The database contains all the information collected through advanced technology and produces 3D images of the part of the Great Wall in Shandan County.
The sections of the Great Wall in Gansu stretch for 3,654 kilometres.Over the past few years, the Gansu provincial cultural heritage bureau has carried out more than 30 protection projects, using digital technology as a new method.The Shandan part stretches for over 200 kilometres, which was mostly built from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.The part in Xiakou Village is the main part.“The Great Wall in Xiakou has weathered over a long period of time.It now appears to have cracking and other matters,” said Bai Yuzhang, a member of the Shandan cultural relic protection bureau, adding that other relics, such as ancient street buildings, have also suffered different degrees of damage.
During the past two years, the local government has carried out several projects to repair the Xiakou part and started the digitalisation project in 2021.The project is arduous.The team used UAV photography and remote sensing mapping technologies to take photos of the Great Wall.Then they worked day and night to make 3D models based on data analysis.It was a difficult process but they finally overcame problems with great determination.
After more than a year of data collection and analysis, the database has been completed and the system is preparing for final acceptance.“Digitalisation breaks the limi-tations of time and space so that all kinds of cultural relics are available to users.They can understand the rich historical and cultural meaning of the relics,” Bai said.“The database is not only valuable historical materials of cultural relics, but also a stepping stone to future research, protection and application of the Great Wall heritage,” he added.
( )28.What is a problem facing the Xiakou part of the Great Wall according to the text
A.Human activity.
B.Weather damage.
C.A lack of capital.
D.Villagers’ less attention to it.
( )29.What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 3 mean

C.Challenging.
D.Mysterious.
( )30.What is the advantage of digitalisation according to Bai Yuzhang

B.It prevents the relics from being damaged.
C.It makes it easy for people to admire relics.
D.It breaks the limitations of mapping technology.
( )31.What is the best title for the text

If you walk through a park in the morning, you’ll see a series of beautiful movements performed in a slow, focused manner with deep breathing.While this may be a common sight for many, this practice was recently given remarkable acknowledgement.On 17 Dec, 2020, China’s tai chi was officially listed on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Tai chi is “a traditional physical practice characterised by relaxed, circular (环形的) movements that work in harmony with breath regulation and the cultivation of a righteous (正直的) and neutral mind”, noted China Daily.The origins of tai chi can be traced to Wenxian County in Henan Province in the mid-17th century.Now it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practise.
Tai chi can be practised anytime and anywhere without equipment.It is a practical way for one to further balance, motor control and rhythm of movement.However, for many, it is more than just exercise.“Tai chi is not just a sport to make people fit, but also contains Chinese culture and philosophy that can make people peaceful,” Yan Shuangjun, a researcher of tai chi, said.
Marleni Calcina from Peru is an example of the many people who have benefited from tai chi.She has practised tai chi for more than 10 years.For her, it’s a way of life.Tai chi has taught her the value of “going slowly”.She once felt great stress at work and in her life, but that began to change thanks to tai chi, which helped her “gain peace and inner harmony”.She said, “For me now, practising tai chi is like speaking with my soul.”
( )32.Where can the passage probably be found

Archaeologists may have found the location of an ancient Greek city, Kane.For more than 400 years, what happened to Kane has confused experts.The city, mentioned in many ancient texts, was on one of a group of three islands in the Aegean Sea.　36　 Two of the islands, now known as the Garip Islands, are still there.
However, the third island, an important stopping point on ancient trade routes, no longer appeared on maps made after the 16th century.No one knew why.
Geo-archaeologists have helped solve the mystery.　37　 New evidence suggests that this former island is a mainland peninsula (半岛) now.That’s almost completely surrounded by water.
　38　 At one time, a channel between two areas of land separated (分开) the island and the mainland.“The original channel was blocked out,” said Felix Pirson, the leader of the study.That means the space between the island and the mainland was filled with materials carried by running water.That’s how the peninsula formed.
　39　 For scientists, this suggests that the land there had formed somewhat recently, perhaps because of the earthquakes.
The scientists are looking forward to doing further testing.　40　 They said that this could provide them with more information about the area during ancient times.“The aim is to reconstruct the ancient environment to understand history,” said Felix Pirson.
A.They said that the island didn’t disappear.
B.How did the island turn into a peninsula
C.The ancient city of Kane gave its name to the peninsula.
D.These islands were all located off the coast of modern-day Turkey.
E.The lost island is believed to be the site where the famous battle of Arginusae took place.
F.Instead of finding solid ground, the geo-archaeologists discovered loose soil and rock.
G.They hope to figure out exactly when the land bridge between the mainland and the island formed.

China’s “Cultural and Natural Heritage Day” falls on the second Saturday of June every year.Many celebrations are held and all cultural relic protection sites are 　41　 to open for free to the public on the day.There is no 　42　 that different kinds of celebrating activities across the country will arouse (唤醒) public 　43　 of the importance of cultural heritage protection and 　44　 the young people to love the fine 　45　 culture of the motherland.
China faces a heavy task to protect and rescue its cultural 　46　.We need to consider seriously the harm of the lack of awareness about cultural heritage protection.　47　, Heritage Education is one of our main approaches.People cannot 　48　 value cultural heritage if they do not know 　49　 it is important or how to protect it.Over the past several years, the protection centre has 　50　 over a hundred educational seminars (研讨会) to different groups, such as schools, government offices, 　51　 the general public.Many people have attended the seminars.Typically, each seminar lasts two to three hours and 　52　 of an informative presentation, 　53　 by a longer question-and-answer session and discussion.Each attender with limited knowledge of cultural heritage 　54　 it to be just the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.People often think that the duty only belongs to the government.So “Cultural and Natural Heritage Day” will be a welcome 　55　 to educate a wide public on world heritage protection.

　　阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
As a child growing up in China, I was always fascinated by Kunqu, a traditional Chinese opera originated in the Ming Dynasty, also listed as the world’s intangible cultural heritage.I would often watch the traditional performances with awe, enchanted by the grace and elegance of the performers on stage.
Though I loved Kunqu, I never thought I could learn it, believing it was something only the most talented and experienced could master.However, one day, my friends invited me to attend a grand Kunqu performance in Suzhou, China, which really made me feel an urge to take on the challenge and learn it.
However, my journey learning Kunqu was not easy.I had to learn the basics of the ancient art form, from the complex techniques used to create the unique vocal style to the complex hand gestures that added a sense of elegance and grace to the movements.It was not just a matter of physical training; I needed to understand the rich history and cultural significance that Kunqu represented.
My first few lessons were rough and I found myself struggling to keep up with the pace of the class.I was disappointed that I couldn’t match the other classmates’ skill level, and I found myself feeling discouraged.However, with countless efforts and dedi-cation, I gradually saw improvements.My voice became stronger and more expressive, and my gestures flowed more naturally.I was fascinated by the subtle differences of the style, and began to develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty of Kunqu.
As I spent more time immersed in the world of Kunqu, I began to appreciate the depth of knowledge that went into each performance.Everything from the beautiful makeup and costumes to the props (道具) and music was carefully chosen to convey a particular mood or theme.I studied the classical texts that formed the basis of the Kunqu opera, from The Song of the Pipa Player to The Peony Pavilion, working hard to understand the distinction of language and meaning within each work.
