    When it comes to cultural heritage protection, the Grand Canal of China is probably the world’s greatest project of its kind. The big inland waterway system in the north-eastern and central eastern plains passes through eight of the country’s present-day provinces.

    The Canal runs from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang Province in the south. Constructed in sections from the 5th century BC onwards, it was designed as a means of communication in the 7th century AD. The Canal is the world’s greatest civil engineering project before the Industrial Revolution.

    The Grand Canal reached a peak in the 13th century, providing an inland navigation(航行) network consisting of more than 2,000 kilometers of artificial waterways, linking five of the most important river basins in China, including the Yellow River and the Yangtze. It entered a bid as a UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) cultural heritage site in 2008.

    The Grand Canal cultural square is located in Beijing’s Tongzhou district. Ever since the Yuan dynasty 800 years ago, the Tongzhou section of the Grand Canal has been the life blood of Beijing. Grain and building materials were all transported to meet the endless demands of the big cities. Even today, the Grand Canal plays a major role in the lives of its citizens.

    "I grew up near the Grand Canal. In the past the waterway was a lot narrower, but now it’s nice and wide and bridges are built over it. I think if the bid for world heritage status succeeds, it will greatly make Tongzhou more famous in the world, especially with Tongzhou aiming to be a sub-center of the capital Beijing," a citizen said.

    The result of the bid is set to be released next week, and no doubt it will certainly make it into the history books if the Canal is listed as a world heritage site.

    1.It can be concluded from the passage that .

    A. The bid’s result of the Canal will be announced soon

    B. the Canal is the UNESCO’s newest world heritage site

    C. the Canal is to connect Tongzhou with Zhejiang Province

    D. the Canal will be a bid for a UNESCO cultural heritage site

    2.The Grand Canal was in the most glorious time .

    A. when it was aimed as a means of communication

    B. when it crossed the Yellow River and the Yangtze

    C. when it was born about six hundred years later

    D. when it was designed as an artificial waterway

    3.What can we infer by reading the passage?

    A. Tongzhou used to be the capital of the Yuan dynasty.

    B. Most citizens living in Tongzhou depend on the Canal.

    C. Tongzhou will benefit if the Canal is made a heritage site.

    D. Some citizens think the Canal not to be a cultural heritage item.

    Climate change, global warming, the greenhouse effect … these days nobody denies that there is something strange and worrying happening to the atmosphere. Scientists are puzzled by the rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They are afraid that the world may be a short way from what they refer to as uncontrolled global warming.

    At Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, meteorologists(气象专家) have been carefully monitoring the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere for the past 50 years. Until recently, there has been a gradual increase of around 1.5 parts per million (ppm). In 2013 the figure rose to 2.08 ppm and in the following year they registered an increase of 2.54 ppm.

    .Climate analysts feel that it istoo soon to draw conclusions about the phenomenon although the public are concerned that the carbon dioxide emissions are getting out of control. Jason Samenow, the chief meteorologist in the American National Weather Service,thinks that instead of having decades to find a solution to the problem, people might have only a few years. He believes that the Earth’s natural systems for absorbing the gas are breaking down resulting in the uncontrolled green house effect. He insists that this is something that could happen if the Earth’stemperatures rose to such a degree that it was unable to contain the heat. .

    One interesting aspect of this climate change ng down resulting in the uncontrolled greenhouse effect. He insists that this is something that could happen if the Earth’s temperatures rose to such a degree that it was unable to contain the heat.is that it is not happening in a uniform way around the world. Carbon dioxide levels in the South Pole are noticeably lower. This suggests that something has happened in the northern hemisphere that set off the rise. Forest fires in North America might hold the answer to the puzzle, along with very hot summers in Europe.

    The 2014 heat wave was certainly out of the ordinary. Statistics claim that more than 30,000 people lost their lives as a direct result of the high temperatures. Scientists are being cautious in their interpretations. Most feel that it is too soon to say that a new trend has been set. All agree that the phenomenon needs to be closely observed.

    1.What puzzles scientists according to Paragraph 1?

    A. Something strange and worrying in life.

    B. Uncontrolled global warming.

    C. The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

    D. The effects of climate change on everybody.

    2.What opinion does Jason Samenow hold on the gradual increase of carbon dioxide?

    A. People still have decades to solve this problem.

    B. Uncontrolled greenhouse effect may happen in some situation.

    C. The Earth’s natural systems for absorbing the gas have completely broken down.

    D. The public shouldn’t be responsible for carbon dioxide emissions.

    3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

    A. Forest fires in North America.

    B. Low temperatures in the South Pole.

    C. Hot summers in Europe.

    D. North and South differences in climate change.

    4.How will scientists deal with the high temperatures?

    A. By observing the phenomenon closely.

    B. By giving a solution directly.

    C. By experiencing high temperatures personally.

    D. By setting a new trend soon.

    All hotels redecorate regularly．However，very few do it as frequently as Sweden’s Icehotel. As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually! The 26th version of Icehotel，which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th，features 69 rooms．To make them affordable for everyone，they range from expensive luxury suites(豪华套房)to basic accommodations．

    Among this year’s unique suite offerings is the“Elephant in the Room”，which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice—framed bed．The“Counting Sheep”suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don’t sleep well get a good night’s rest. Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ，they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃ temperatures．To get a good night’s rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on．Though that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none other．

    The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses．Though dining options are limited to the hotel’s only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelin—trained chef Alexander Meier．To keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing，moose or snowmobile safaris，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness camping．

    The 26-year-·old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200 km north of the Arctic Circle．Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held．That’s when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals．

    1.Why is Sweden’s Icehotel rebuilt every year?

    A．It needs more rooms．

    B．It is entirely built from ice．

    C．It follows old traditions．

    D．It can be easily decorated．

    2.What is unique about the hotel this year?

    A．It opens earlier than ever before．

    B．More expensive rooms are available．

    C．Room prices are more affordable．

    D．Some rooms have theme sculptures．

    3.What can be inferred about the hotel in Paragraph 3?

    A．Its service needs improving．

    B．Its activities may be boring．

    C．It tries to appeal to customers．

    D．Its food is not delicious at a11．

    4.Why did the locals organize an art exhibition in 1989?

    A．To attract winter visitors．

    B．To promote the art sales．

    C．To preserve their customs．

    D．To protect the environment．
