They give a great look at human history and civilization, and every traveler should try to visit them.Machu PicchuLocated in southern Peru, this city lies on the top of a mountain. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. Concerns over growing numbers of tourists have led to limitations on how many people can enter the site. Hopefully, they will limit it even more so this site lasts for hundreds of years more.The Pyramids at GizaOver 3,000 years old, we still dont know how they were built or how the Egyptians got them so precise (精确的). They are truly a wonder of human engineering. The largest one, called the Great Pyramid, was built by the Pharaoh Khufu and has limited access to it. For some reason, tourism has been rapidly down since 2011.PetraCarved (雕刻) into a canyon in Arabah, Jordan, Petra was made famous by the third Indiana Jones film when he went to find the Holy Grail. It was discovered in 1812 by a Swiss explorer. It appears that this place had settlers as early as the 6th century B C. In 1985, Petra became a UNESCO World Heritage site. Taj MahalBuilt in the 1600s, this building is an evidence of real undying love. Located in Agra, India, this white marble (大理石) tomb built for Emperor Shah Johans dead wife is a must for everyone. In 1983, it was named a UNESCO World Heritage site. There has been recent limit on tourism in an effort to help protect the site. However, the greatest threat to the site is the air pollution that is destroying the white marble.21. People limit the number of visitors to enter Machu Picchu to_.A. show the mystery of itB. broaden the narrow road to itC. protect it from being damagedD. make the air more clear22. The following were made UNESCO World Heritage sites in the 1980s EXCEPT_.A. Machu Picchu B. the Pyramids at GizaC. Petra D. Taj Mahal23. According to the last paragraph, we can infer that_.A. Shah Johans wife was happy to see Taj MahalB. the water pollution does harm to the marble of Taj MahalC. Taj Mahal shows how deeply Shah Johan loved his wife D. people dont know how to protect Taj MahalB You may know the difference between an American accent and a British accent. But do you know what a “posh” (优雅的) British accent is? The difference may be more important than you think. There are many different accents in the UK, some of them very difficult for foreigners to understand. In the south, many people speak with what is known as a “posh” accent, an accent that makes people think of the British Royal (王室) Family and upper-class people in the UK. In this accent, “grass” sounds more like “gr-ar-ss”, and “bath” sounds more like “barth”. Often, British people who take jobs on TV or elsewhere have to change their own accents and make them “posher” to be accepted.So, do accents still matter? Last year Alexander Baratta, PhD, from the UKs University of Manchester spoke about “accentism”people being treated worse because of how they speakand compared it to racism (种族歧视), according to The Guardian(卫报). In a study, he asked people why they changed their accents and how it made them feel.Its not hard to see why they do iteveryone wants to do well in life, and the best way to do that is to “fit in”. Still, there is a price to pay, Baratta said. Facing the world with a voice that is not your own can hurt “your sense of being”. This was shown when a third of those questioned said they were “ashamed” about changing their accents.What can be done to stop people changing how they sound? Well, times may be changing, too. The Guardians leader writer Hugh Muir has a suggestion: “The listener must adapt (适应) when needed. The speaker must make themselves understood, whatever accent they choose.”So as youre learning English, dont worry too much about how your accent makes you sound as long as its clear what youre saying.24. According to the article, a posh accent reminds people of _ in the UK.A. working-class peopleB. fashionable young peopleC. poorly-educated peopleD. upper-class people25. The underlined sentence “there is a price to pay” in Para. 4 probably means_.A. one may pay a lot of moneyB. one may not be understood by othersC. one may be hurt for losing oneselfD. one may be questioned for changing the accent26. What are people advised to do with their accents?A. To make themselves clear in the accent they choose.B. To warn listeners to accept different accents.C. To make no changes to their accent at all.D. To adapt their accent to their listeners.27. What is the passage mainly about?A. How we should deal with different accents.B. The problem of accentism and ways to deal with it.C. Why we should learn a posh British accent.D. Why some British people like to change their accents.CI was sleeping in my room when my bed started shaking and a loud noise was heard. I woke up and my mom was screaming my name. Next moment I was running along with my younger sister，mom and dad. Before I ran out of the door, I realized my elder sister hadnt come out yet. So I screamed her name at the top of my voice. My mom said she had gone to her class. Then the four of us, along with many others, were running on the staircase. We lived on the seventh floor, so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor. My dads head was injured by something falling down. I did try to put my hand over his head. When we reached the sixth floor, the building split into two. We had no way to get down.The next thing I remember is silence. There were around 30 people on the staircase and none could react. Five minutes later, someone opened the door of the sixth floor flat. We all went in. We were wondering how we would get down. From the balcony(阳台) of the sixth floor flat, I saw people standing on the ground floor. All eyes were stuck on us. I could see my elder sister crying.Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were. That was the first time we thought maybe we could get down. Half an hour passed and we were still trapped. Finally RSS people arrived with ropes. They got people down one by one. My biggest worry was how my dad would get down. Finally after two and a half hours, we all got down.That day we saw the power of nature. It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure.28. What is this passage mainly about?A. Ways to survive an earthquake. B.

Didnt the doctor tell you?”“Oh, I never heard of such nonsense(胡扯).” complained Sue, “Have some soup, please! And I have to call Behrman up to be my model (模特).”“I dont want any.”Old Behrman was also a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them. He had been always about to paint a masterpiece (杰作), but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by serving as a model to young painters. Sue found him smelling strongly of wine downstairs. She told him of Johnsys fancy (胡思乱想).Johnsy was sleeping when they went upstairs. Sue pulled down the curtain. The two looked out of the window fearfully at the ivy vine. A cold rain was falling with snows.Suddenly Johnsy awoke from an hours sleep.“Pull it up; I want to see,” she ordered.“It is the last one,” Johnsy said. “It will fall tomorrow. And I shall die at the same time.”The next morning when the curtain was pulled up, the ivy leaf was still there.“Bring me some chicken soup.” said Johnsy.And an hour later, she said: “Sue, some day I hope to paint the Bay of Naples.”The next day the doctor said to Sue: “Shes out of danger. You won. But I had to go downstairs to take care of another patient whose name was Behrman. Pneumonia (肺炎), too.And that afternoon Sue came to the bed where Johnsy lay.“I have something to tell you,” she said, “Mr. Behrman died of pneumonia today in hospital. He was ill only one day. The guard found him this morning in his room downstairs helpless with pain. His shoes and clothes were wet through and icy cold. They couldnt imagine where he had been on such a dreadful (可怕的) night. And then they found a candle, a ladder (梯子) that had been moved, and some brushes with green and yellow colors mixed on it, and now look out of the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall.
