A A Sunken Glimpse into the Past
In 2024, a routine drone survey of Lake Neuch tel in Switzerland uncovered the remains of a Roman cargo ship that sank roughly 2,000 years ago. More than 600 remarkably intact artifacts have been recovered—an unprecedented find in the Alpine region.
Unlike typical wrecks where the wooden hull survives, this ship has long dissolved in fresh water. What remains is a concentrated collection of cargo and personal items: ceramic tableware, Spanish olive oil containers, bronze kitchen tools, and a preserved wicker basket. Most notably, archaeologists recovered two complete Roman swords and military equipment, including decorated bronze belt buckles.
These military items offer a crucial clue. By analyzing the style of a bronze brooch known from Emperor Tiberius’s reign, combined with tree-ring dating of a wooden board found beneath stacked plates, researchers pinpointed the ship’s loss to 17 AD. The presence of legionary gear suggests soldiers were aboard, raising questions about their mission. Each artifact retrieved brings historians closer to understanding the final voyage of this merchant vessel.
(From The History Blog, 2026)
21. What makes the Lake Neuch tel discovery particularly significant
A. It is the oldest Roman wreck ever found in Europe.
B. The ship’s wooden structure remains perfectly preserved.
C. Over 600 intact artifacts were recovered from an inland lake.
D. It was discovered during a military training exercise.
22. How did researchers determine the approximate date of the wreck
A. By carbon-dating the Roman swords.
B. By matching recovered coins with historical records.
C. By combining brooch style analysis with tree-ring dating.
D. By reading shipping logs found in a sealed container.
23. What can be inferred about the soldiers mentioned in the passage
A. They were permanently stationed in Switzerland.
B. They were likely traveling on the merchant vessel.
C. They were responsible for constructing Roman ships.
D. Their equipment was less advanced than civilians’.
B Reaching New Heights
On March 3, 2026, freediver Alexey Molchanov slipped beneath the ice of Lake Baikal and descended 91 meters on a single breath. With surface temperatures at –23°C and only one entry hole cut through the ice, he set a new under-ice freediving world record.
This achievement relied on meticulous preparation. “Training starts long before reaching the lake,” Molchanov explained. “It involves breath-hold drills, pool work, and practicing with a monofin to maximize efficiency.” He prioritizes building technical baselines in controlled environments before layering on cold adaptation.
Equipment choices also matter. Under-ice diving requires thicker wetsuits, but Molchanov deliberately chose a 5mm suit over the standard 7mm to reduce water resistance, trusting his body to handle the cold. The strategy succeeded despite the immense physical toll.
Thousands of miles away, Indian adventurer Anmish Varma faced his own extreme test. In January 2025, he summited Mount Sidley in Antarctica, completing the Seven Volcanic Summits in just 92 days—a Guinness World Record. He described the peak as the toughest due to its remoteness, treacherous weather, and the mental strain of knowing failure could mean days of isolation.
Both explorers succeeded through disciplined preparation, mental resilience, and respect for their physical limits. “I wanted to prove that smart planning and determination can set global benchmarks,” Anmish said. “It’s also about inspiring young people to dream big, no matter how remote the goal.” From frozen lakes to Antarctic peaks, they remind us that pushing boundaries begins with one breath, one step at a time.
24. What distinguishes Molchanov’s training approach
A. He develops technique in controlled environments first.
B. He practices exclusively in Lake Baikal year-round.
C. He relies solely on mental preparation without physical conditioning.
D. He avoids using specialized equipment to build endurance.
25. Why did Molchanov choose a 5mm wetsuit
A. To comply with competition safety rules.
B. To reduce water resistance and improve efficiency.
C. Because thicker suits were unavailable at the site.
D. To test whether thin suits provide better insulation.
26. What does the underlined word “treacherous” in paragraph 4 most likely mean
A. Frequently visited by experienced climbers.
B. Beautiful but rarely photographed.
C. Dangerous and highly unpredictable.
D. Protected by international treaties.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. The History of Extreme Sports
B. Freediving vs. Mountain Climbing: Which Is Harder
C. Modern Explorers Pushing Human Limits
D. Antarctica: The Final Frontier for Adventurers
C Can Venice Be Saved From Its Own Success
In May 2026, UNESCO recommended adding Venice to its List of World Heritage in Danger, warning that climate change and mass tourism threaten “irreversible” damage to the city’s unique value. On peak days, tourist numbers exceed residents by nearly three to one. Cruise ships stir up sediment and weaken historic foundations, while day-trippers crowd iconic sites.
In response, Venice launched Europe’s strictest visitor management system. Starting in 2026, entry fees apply on 60 peak-season days, ranging from ?5 to ?10 based on demand. Visitors must pre-register via a mobile app. Large cruise ships have been rerouted away from the historic center, and tour groups are capped at 40 people. Loudspeakers are also banned to reduce noise pollution.
But are these measures enough Critics argue that fees cannot solve the core issue: Venice is transforming from a living city into an open-air museum. Residential areas are converting into vacation rentals and souvenir shops, driving the population down from 175,000 after WWII to under 50,000 today. Without permanent residents, scholars warn, there is no city left to save—only a stage set for tourists.
UNESCO acknowledges recent progress but notes a “lack of significant progress” and calls for a unified strategic vision. Italy has until September to present a sustainable management plan. Whether Venice can balance tourism revenue with heritage preservation—and whether locals will have a voice in that future—remains an open question.
28. According to UNESCO, what primarily threatens Venice’s heritage status
A. High housing costs driving out young families.
B. A combination of climate impacts and overtourism.
C. The government’s refusal to accept international guidelines.
D. Structural failures in ancient drainage systems.
29. What visitor management measure has Venice implemented since 2026
A. A complete summer ban on international tourists.
B. A mandatory entry fee on selected days, varying by demand.
C. The construction of new bridges to disperse visitor flow.
D. The relocation of all residents to the mainland.
30. What problem does banning loudspeakers aim to solve
A. It violates centuries-old noise ordinances.
B. It prevents tourists from hearing natural sounds.
C. It reduces constant background noise that harms the city’s atmosphere.
D. It interferes with emergency communication systems.
31. What does “a stage set for tourists” in paragraph 3 imply
A. Venice hosts more theatrical performances than any Italian city.
B. The city has become an artificial environment catering to visitors, not residents.
C. Its architecture was originally designed for entertainment.
D. Tourists must buy tickets to enter all major landmarks.
D Preserving the Past: The Battle Over Taxila
High in northern Pakistan, Taxila stands as one of South Asia’s most significant archaeological complexes. Founded over two millennia ago, this UNESCO site contains Buddhist monasteries, early Hindu shrines, and remnants of an ancient university. Its layered history offers an unparalleled window into regional urban civilization.
Today, Taxila faces a threat not from nature, but from conservation itself. International experts have raised concerns over recent “restoration” work at key areas. Critics charge that cement—a material foreign to ancient construction—has been used to rebuild walls. Some original structures were reportedly demolished and reconstructed rather than stabilized, altering historical heights.
The federal archaeology department calls this a serious violation of international norms, warning it could place Taxila on UNESCO’s “danger list” and damage Pakistan’s heritage credibility. Yet the provincial department defends its actions, arguing that decades of neglect, vegetation encroachment, and water damage made intervention unavoidable. “Preservation is not a purist exercise,” they state. “It requires pragmatic choices to save sites for future generations.”
This debate highlights a global dilemma: Where should the line be drawn between preservation and reconstruction Traditional charters favor minimal intervention, but modern realities—climate stress, mass tourism, and economic development—demand adaptive strategies. As UNESCO reviews whether to list Taxila as endangered, the outcome will shape conservation practices worldwide. The stones of Taxila have become unwilling participants in a vital conversation about authenticity, authority, and what it truly means to protect heritage in the 21st century.
32. Why was Taxila originally designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
A. For its strategic military importance in ancient times.
B. For its exceptional collection of cave paintings.
C. For its layered civilizational history spanning over a millennium.
D. For its well-preserved Roman-style architecture.
33. What practice at Taxila has drawn the strongest criticism
A. Opening the site to unauthorized commercial filming.
B. Using cement to rebuild ancient walls instead of traditional materials.
C. Removing all protective vegetation from the foundations.
D. Allowing modern housing within the heritage boundaries.
34. How does the provincial department justify its restoration work
A. By denying that any structural changes occurred.
B. By claiming cement was historically used by ancient builders.
C. By arguing that inaction would have caused greater damage.
D. By stating international norms do not apply to developing nations.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward the conservation debate
A. Strongly supportive of strict traditional preservation methods.
B. Critical of both sides for lacking practical solutions.
C. Objective, presenting it as a complex global dilemma requiring balance.
D. Indifferent, believing heritage preservation is no longer relevant.

How to Be a Responsible Heritage Tourist
Heritage sites around the world are under unprecedented pressure from mass tourism. While travel broadens our horizons, our very presence can accelerate the destruction of the places we come to admire. 36______ The following guidelines can help ensure your visit contributes to preservation rather than destruction.
First, respect physical boundaries. Barriers and ropes are not arbitrary restrictions. They protect fragile surfaces from erosion caused by millions of footsteps. 37______ In Venice, visitor access fees and reservation systems now serve this very purpose—spreading visitor numbers across the day to prevent overcrowding.
Second, leave no trace. The archaeological rule is simple: take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints. Removing artifacts—even a small pebble from a ruin—is illegal at most World Heritage Sites. 38______ What seems like one harmless souvenir, multiplied by thousands of visitors, strips a site of its authentic context and deprives future generations of the experience you enjoyed.
Third, be mindful of the impact of your technology. 39______ Flash photography can irreversibly damage ancient pigments and wall paintings. Tripods can obstruct pathways and accidentally strike fragile surfaces. Drones, increasingly popular for capturing aerial footage, are banned at many heritage sites because they disturb wildlife and, in some cases, can physically damage structures if crashed.
Fourth, support local communities. Responsible tourism isn‘t just about protecting stones and artifacts; it’s about the people who live beside them. 40______ Avoid international hotel chains when locally-owned guesthouses are available. Eat at local restaurants and buy crafts directly from artisans. When heritage sites generate economic benefits for surrounding communities, residents become natural allies in their protection.
Above all, remember that you are a guest—not only in the site itself but in the ongoing story of a place that existed long before your arrival and will remain long after you depart.
A．Choose accommodations and guides that reinvest profits in local preservation efforts.
B．Otherwise, your visit may unintentionally contribute to the very destruction you traveled to witness.
C．Similarly, staying on designated paths prevents the gradual widening of trails that destroys surrounding vegetation.
D．Many heritage sites now offer virtual tours for those who wish to explore without physical impact.
E．The use of drones, flash photography, and tripods can be particularly harmful in enclosed or sensitive spaces.
F．Purchasing souvenirs made from endangered species or ancient materials is strictly forbidden.
G．Stick to marked paths and respect restricted areas to minimize your physical impact.

As we 50______ the fragile documents to the lab, I reflected on the sailors behind them. The Silk Road is often 51______ as a grand trade route, but it’s truly a story of individuals driven by hope.
The lake still 52______ countless secrets. Yet climate change is 53______ the ice cover, exposing wrecks to rapid decay. What took centuries to preserve could be 54______ in decades.
“We’re racing against time,” our leader said. “We save history before it vanishes.” I arrived as a researcher; I left as an 55______ for its protection.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Kai had always been the top student in his high school‘s archaeology club. While other members struggled to identify pottery sherds or interpret stratigraphic layers, he could recite the distinguishing features of every major Chinese dynasty’s ceramic traditions from memory. His dream, which he announced to anyone who would listen, was to discover a buried city—something that would make headlines and secure his place in archaeological history.
When the club’s faculty advisor announced that an international team would visit their city to present findings from a major Silk Road excavation, Kai saw his opportunity. The visiting archaeologist, Dr. Elena Volkov from the Institute of Silk Road Studies, had spent fifteen years working at sites across Central Asia. Her public lecture at the city museum would be attended by local academics, university students, and members of the historical society.
Kai spent three weeks preparing for the lecture‘s Q&A session. He read dozens of academic papers, memorized excavation dates, and rehearsed what he considered the perfect question—one that would demonstrate his superior knowledge while subtly pointing out what he believed to be a flaw in Dr. Volkov’s published chronology of a particular site. He imagined the audience‘s impressed murmurs, Dr. Volkov’s surprised acknowledgment, the local newspaper article about the brilliant young scholar who had challenged an expert.
The night of the lecture arrived. The museum‘s auditorium was half-full, mostly with retirees and university students fulfilling course requirements. Dr. Volkov spoke passionately about the complexities of Silk Road trade networks, but Kai found himself growing impatient. When she finally opened the floor for questions, his hand shot up immediately.
“Dr. Volkov,” he began, voice steady with rehearsed confidence, “in your 2023 paper on the Panjakent excavations, you concluded that Sogdian merchants had ceased using the northern route by the mid-8th century. However, the discovery of a Sogdian letter dated 762 CE at a northern outpost suggests otherwise. How do you respond to this contradiction ”
A murmur rippled through the audience. Kai smiled, waiting for the acknowledgment he deserved.
Dr. Volkov studied him for a long moment. Then she asked a question that stopped him cold.
“That’s an excellent observation, young man. Tell me—have you actually seen the letter you‘re referring to, or only read about it in secondary sources ”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Kai hesitated. The truth was that he had only encountered the letter in a popular science article, not in the original publication.

Preserving Our Shared Heritage
Every day, our irreplaceable cultural heritage faces threats from climate change, mass tourism, and even well-intentioned but poorly executed restoration projects.
As young people, we can make a difference. Start by learning about local heritage sites and sharing their stories through social media. When visiting historical places, follow the rules—stay on marked paths, avoid flash photography, and never take artifacts. Support preservation efforts by volunteering or fundraising.
Our heritage belongs to all humanity. Let’s take action today—not as passive tourists, but as active guardians of our shared history. Together, we can ensure future generations inherit the real, living treasures of our past.

Kai hesitated. The truth was that he had only encountered the letter in a popular science article, not in the original publication. “I... I read about it in a magazine,” he admitted quietly, his rehearsed confidence crumbling. The audience’s murmurs shifted from admiration to something else—sympathy, perhaps, or disappointment. Dr. Volkov smiled gently. “That‘s a common mistake among young enthusiasts,” she said. “Archaeology isn’t about memorizing facts to win arguments. It‘s about patient observation, careful analysis, and—most importantly—humility before the evidence.” She then turned to the audience and explained that the letter Kai mentioned had indeed been re-dated by more recent research. “But you raised a valid point,” she added, “and that’s how science progresses—through questions, not through a competition to be right.”
Walking out of the museum that night, Kai felt no longer eager to prove himself. The cool night air cleared his head. For months, he had treated archaeology as a game to be won, a stage for his own brilliance. But Dr. Volkov’s words echoed in his mind: “humility before the evidence.” He realized that the true value of historical study lay not in showing off what you knew, but in recognizing how much you didn‘t know—and being curious enough to find out. The next morning, he borrowed three academic books from the university library and began reading not to prepare a clever question, but simply to learn. It was, he would later say, the first real day of his education.
