Are you fascinated by UNESCO World Heritage Sites If so, let me take you on a journey to some iconic landmarks. Each stands as a timeless symbol of its culture’s values and ambitions. Explore these iconic landmarks and their stories. Click here for UNESCO’s official World Heritage List.
Taj Mahal, India
The Taj Mahal, a white marble mausoleum (陵墓), is celebrated as the finest example of Indo-Islamic architecture. Built in 1632 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, it honors his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Its grand design features arches, domes (圆顶), and intricate stone inlay work (镶嵌画).
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Angkor Wat, part of the ancient Khmer Empire’s capital, is the world’s largest religious structure. Originally a Hindu temple for Vishnu, this 9th-century temple complex showcases detailed carvings and remains a symbol of Southeast Asia’s rich history.
Acropolis of Athens, Greece
The Acropolis of Athens is an enduring symbol of Classical Greece. The crown jewel of this hilltop castle is the Parthenon, a former temple dedicated to the worship of Athena in ancient Greek religion. Built by Ictinus and Callicrates, beginning in 447 BCE, this Doric icon is regarded as the most important surviving ancient Greek monument.
The Great Wall, China
Stretching over 21,000 kilometres, the Great Wall is one of humanity’s most ambitious architectural feats. Initially built during the 7th century BCE and expanded by later dynasties, it served as a military defence system against invasions. The best-preserved sections near Beijing, constructed with bricks and stone, display watchtowers and strategic passes. Despite erosion and tourism pressures, it remains a proud symbol of Chinese civilization.
1. Why was the Taj Mahal built
A．To serve as a Hindu temple.
B．To honor an emperor's wife.
C．To protect against invasions.
D．To display modern architecture.
2. Which two sites were originally religious structures
A．Taj Mahal and Acropolis of Athens.
B．Angkor Wat and Acropolis of Athens.
C．The Great Wall and Angkor Wat.
D．Taj Mahal and The Great Wall.
3. Where is the text probably taken from
A．A travel website.
B．A history textbook.
C．A travel brochure.
D．An academic report.

In a quiet corner of Oxford University’s Bodleian Library, a robotic arm flips through a 15th-century manuscript, its high-resolution cameras capturing every faded ink stroke. This is ARCHiVE (Automated Robotic Cultural Heritage Inspection and Verification Engine), a 2.3 million project revolutionizing how fragile artifacts are preserved and bining robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced imaging, ARCHiVE represents a model shift in cultural conservation.
Traditional conservation methods often risk damaging delicate materials. ARCHiVE’s robotic system, equipped with micro-sensors and AI algorithms, can detect cracks invisible to the human eye and predict structural weaknesses before they worsen. “It’s like having a doctor for ancient books,” explains Dr Emily Carter, lead conservator. Since its 2022 launch, ARCHiVE has scanned over 8,000 items, from Egyptian papyri to medieval maps, with 99.7% accuracy in damage assessment. Its non-invasive approach has reduced physical handling by 85%, significantly lowering the risk of accidental damage.
The project’s digital twin technology creates exact virtual copies, allowing global access to restricted collections. During the 2023 Cairo Museum flood, ARCHiVE’s digital models enabled researchers to virtually “restore” water-damaged artifacts within hours. “We’re not just saving objects,” says Carter, “but we’re preserving humanity’s collective memory.” This technology has also democratized access, with over 50,000 digital artifacts now available to researchers and the public worldwide.
However, some scholars argue that over-reliance on technology may distance researchers from hands-on experience. “You can’t smell history through a screen,” protests Prof James Whitaker, a traditionalist at Cambridge. Others worry about data ownership, as scanned artifacts become digital assets potentially controlled by tech corporations. A 2024 survey revealed that 62% of conservators fear losing control over digitized cultural heritage.
ARCHiVE’s next phase involves 4D scanning, capturing how materials change over time. Pilot tests on Viking ship timbers have already revealed previously unknown construction techniques. Meanwhile, UNESCO is developing global standards for digital heritage, ensuring these technological marvels serve humanity rather than corporate interests. As Carter reflects, “Our ancestors left us these treasures; our duty is to pass them forward — both physically and digitally.”
4. What is the main function of ARCHiVE’s robotic system
A．Repairing damaged artifacts.
B．Creating virtual museum tours.
C．Identifying and forecasting damage.
D．Selling digital copies of artifacts.
5. How did ARCHiVE help during the Cairo Museum flood
A．By raising emergency funds online.
B．By training local conservation staff.
C．By physically moving artifacts to safety.
D．By providing digital models for restoration.
6. What is Prof Whitaker’s main concern about ARCHiVE
A．Data ownership concerns.
B．Loss of direct experience.
C．High operating costs.
D．Environmental impact.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．ARCHiVE: Digital Guardians of the Past
B．ARCHiVE and the Traditional-Digital Balance
C．ARCHiVE: The Battle for Heritage Preservation
D．AI in ARCHiVE: Ethical Dilemmas and Their Resolutions

I’m a psychology researcher. Along with my mentor Thackery Brown and music experts Sophia Mehdizadeh and Grace Leslie, our recently published research uncovered interesting connections between music, emotion and memory. When you listen to music, it is not merely hearing engagement. The areas of your brain responsible for emotion and memory also become active. The hippocampus (海马结构), which is essential for storing and retrieving (读取) memories, works closely with the amygdala (杏仁核), the brain’s emotional center. This is partly why certain songs are not only memorable but also deeply emotional.
While music’s ability to set off emotions and memories is well known, we wondered whether it could also change the emotional content of existing memories. Our theory was rooted in the concept of memory reactivation — the idea that when you recall a memory, it becomes temporarily changeable, allowing new information to be included.
We then developed a three-day experiment. On the first day, participants memorized a series of short, emotionally neutral stories. The next day, they recalled these stories while listening to either positive music, negative music or silence. On the final day, we asked participants to recall the stories again, this time without any music. On the second day, we recorded their brain activity with fMRI scans, which measure brain activity.
The results were striking. When participants listened to emotionally charged music while recalling the neutral stories, they were more likely to include new emotional elements in the stories. Even more interesting were the brain scans. When participants recalled stories while listening to music, there was increased activity in the amygdala and hippocampus. This is why a song associated with a significant life event can feel so powerful — it activates both emotion and memory-processing regions.
Memories, much like your favorite songs, can be remixed and remastered by music. The music you listen to while looking back or even while going about your daily routines might be subtly shaping how you remember those experiences in the future. While further research is needed, our findings have exciting implications for both everyday life and medicine.
8. What did participants do on the second day of the experiment
A．They memorize neutral stories.
B．They recalled stories with music.
C．They recalled stories without music.
D．They listened to various types of music.
9. What can be inferred from the experimental results
A．Music changes memory content.
B．Neutral stories have no emotional elements.
C．Brain scan results are uninteresting.
D．Daily music has no effect.
10. How does the author view the research
A．It has no practical significance.
B．It is complete and perfect.
C．It may lead to more discoveries.
D．It is limited to music and memory.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A．The process of a music experiment.
B．The connection between music, emotion and memory.
C．The role of the hippocampus and amygdala.
D．The impact of music on daily life.

About eight years ago, Li Jinglong and Guan Dian visited the Palace Museum in Beijing. The cloisonne (景泰蓝瓷器) objects on display attracted them in particular. They spent hours looking at those beautiful objects. They just couldn t take their eyes off them.
Born and raised in Beijing, 35-year-old Li is no stranger to cloisonne, since there were a pair of cloisonne vases in his grandparents’ home. His wife, 34-year-old Guan, who learned to paint as a child and later became a designer after graduating from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, is also familiar with cloisonne, as it appears in her art books. As a result of their visit, the couple made the daring decision to open a workshop.
“We learned cloisonne after seeing the pieces displayed in the Palace Museum. We wanted to turn our hobby into a career, so that people could enjoy and learn to make the craft themselves,” said Li, who worked in a finance company before quitting his job to launch Handcraft Addicted, a DIY workshop where participants can make cloisonne. Since 2018, they have opened three workshops in Beijing. They are happy to give people a glimpse of the traditional techniques of cloisonne as part of a DIY experience.
Instead of focusing on making traditional cloisonne objects, such as plates and vases, the workshop allows participants to create the designs they want on the surface of glass, resin (树脂) or wood. Although the process has been simplified, it is still not easy for people trying cloisonne for the first time to succeed. Participants spend months making one piece, which they take home or give friends as presents. It’s a luxury for people to spend time alone and fully focus on one thing nowadays because of the fast pace of life. Participants come to the workshop not only to create art, but also to take a break from their busy lives.
12. What can we learn about the couple
A．They both grew up in Beijing.
B．They both majored in cloisonne art.
C．They are both familiar with cloisonne.
D．They both quit their previous jobs.
13. What inspired the couple to open Handcraft Addicted
A．Their grandparents cloisonne vases.
B．Their hobby in handcraft techniques.
C．Cloisonne objects in Guan s art books.
D．Cloisonne on exhibition in the Palace Museum.
14. What does the underlined word “glimpse” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Chance.
B．Sight.
C．Skill.
D．Guidance.
15. Which of the following can best describe the couple
A．Modest and warm-hearted.
B．Generous and considerate.
C．Outgoing and dedicated.
D．Creative and determined.

47.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。
It was a good day in every possible way. Standing on the cold sand on a Sunday morning, I saw the sun flash off powerful surf as it curved into whitewater that rushed up the beach. The members of my winter swimming club were pulling on swimming suits, swimming caps and goggles (护目镜) as they assessed the challenging conditions.
After sizing up the ocean, most swimmers chose to stay in the shallows where they could still stand up, or headed to the protected rockpool to do a few laps. But I decided to swim out, along with one other swimmer.
To avoid the strong waves as they hit the shore, and to negotiate the partially hidden rocks, timing was everything. When a lull (平静时期) arrived, we ran and dived in, feeling the shock of the cold water. As I reached deeper water, I pulled on my swim fins (脚蹼) and goggles and let my breathing adjust to the cold.
I was about a hundred metres from shore when a large set appeared suddenly, broke and rushed towards me. I dived deep into dark green water and felt the wave’s power move through and over me. More waves came and I dived again. After the third dive, I came up and felt something was wrong.
White noise rushed into my left ear. I began to feel weak. A kind of pain moved down the right side of my neck. My desire to swim further out disappeared. I didn’t know what had happened but it was time to get out of the water. Wave after wave hit me, pushing me, pulling me back out to sea. I didn’t have much say about where I went.
Other members of the swimming club saw that I was close to shore and turned back towards the clubhouse. I wanted to call out for help but I couldn’t. They were a few metres away but I couldn’t make a sound. Every inch of me was devoted to trying to regain my senses.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I reached the sand, but couldn’t stand up and then I lost my senses.

After I recovered, I was determined to find the stranger and thank him sincerely.

I reached the sand, but couldn’t stand up and then I lost my senses. When I woke up later, I found myself wrapped in a thick blanket beside the clubhouse. A man in blue coat sat beside me, checking my state carefully. He told me he saw me being tossed by waves and rushed to drag me onto the beach, then gave me simple first aid to bring me back to consciousness. Before I could ask his name, he left quietly without waiting for my thanks.
After I recovered, I was determined to find the stranger and thank him sincerely. I asked every club member about the man in blue. Finally an old swimmer told me he was a local doctor who often came to swim on weekends. I waited at the beach the next Sunday and spotted him. I handed him a thank-you gift and expressed my endless gratitude. He smiled and said helping others was just natural. This experience taught me kindness always warms people’s hearts.
