Module 6 The World’s Cultural Heritage ‎ (建议用时：40分钟)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2020·济南针对性训练)The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plants, and some 2，000 birds and mammals. To date, at least 40，000 plant species, 3，000 fish, 1，294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region. One in five of all the birds in the world live in the Amazon rainforest.‎ The warm and wet forest has been in existence for at least 55 million years, and thrived even during glacial periods, allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species. Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳定年法) has revealed trees of 10 centimeter in diameter to be more than 300 years old, and some trees over 1，000 years old, indicating that untouched forests can experience unbelievable longevity.‎ The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11，200 years ago. European explorers arrived in the 16th century, bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves, killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民). By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.‎ The Amazon rainforests has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its important role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen. But due to deforestation(滥伐森林), rainforests now cover less than 5% of the Earth’s land surface, and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change. Severe deforestation began in the 20th century, with 587，000 square kilometers lost up to the year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland to raise farm animals and agriculture. The addition of transport routes has led to increased settlement and deforestation, and at the present rate, scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要讲述了亚马逊热带雨林的历史、丰富的物种以及现在所面临的危险。‎ 6‎ ‎1．Why are the figures mentioned in Paragraph 1?‎ A．To prove the forest untouched.‎ B．To classify species scientifically.‎ C．To show the diversity of species.‎ D．To attract more attention to the Amazon region.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的内容并结合第二段第一句中的“allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species”可推知，那些关于动植物种类的数字说明了亚马逊热带雨林的物种多样性，故选C。‎ ‎2．Why did most indigenous inhabitants in the Amazon region die?‎ A．European explorers brought diseases there.‎ B．Portuguese explorers treated them badly.‎ C．A lot of trees were cut down and burned.‎ D．They got killed by Spanish explorers.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“European explorers arrived in the 16th century, bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves, killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民)．”可知，可能多达90%的亚马逊土著居民因为欧洲探险者所带来的疾病而死亡，故选A。‎ ‎3．What can be inferred about the Amazon rainforest?‎ A．It has the largest number of species.‎ B．It covers over 5% of South America.‎ C．It is becoming larger in area.‎ D．It is being endangered now.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段尾句中的“at the present rate...in two decades”并结合最后一段的整体内容可推知，亚马逊热带雨林遭到破坏，而且未来20年可能会减少40%，故选D。‎ ‎4．What may be included in the following paragraph?‎ A．Examples of destroying forests.‎ B．Measures to protect rainforests.‎ C．New settlements in the Amazon region.‎ D．Ways to stop global warming.‎ B　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的关键词“deforestation”可推知，亚马逊热带雨林砍伐严重，那么本文接下来自然就会论述这一问题的解决措施，故选B。‎ B ‎(2020·武汉高三质量监测)The Notre Dame fire has been put out, but its spire 6‎ ‎(塔尖) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. On Chinese social media network WeChat a common comment on the disaster is：“What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”‎ But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely via a video game called Assassin’s Creed Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in the reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it were still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.‎ The idea of digitizing ancient buildings, making digital models of them so their data can be saved, dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.‎ As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital replica(复制品) has great use value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them, which helps protect them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics. Even if the original ones are damaged one day, people can still know what they were like and can build replicas if desired.‎ Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Time is the biggest threat to a country’s architectural heritage, which will always become ruins with the passing of time. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.‎ ‎【解题导语】　巴黎圣母院的大火让人们再也无法看到其中被损坏的部分，但是利用数字技术，可以让其原貌重现。人们利用数字化复制品，在不触碰到实物的情况下，‎ 6‎ 可以让文化遗产栩栩如生地展现在眼前，并且数字化复制品可以保存文化遗产的所有信息，对认识和保护文化遗产有着非凡的意义。‎ ‎5．What can we see about Notre Dame in the game?‎ A．The damaged parts.　　 B．Its wooden shape.‎ C．Its original look. D．The big fire.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“In this game, the player can...see Notre Dame as it was before the fire.”可知，在这个游戏中，我们可以看到火灾前的巴黎圣母院的原貌，故选C项。‎ ‎6．What will engineers do to create digital replicas of the ancient buildings?‎ A．Improve the technology needed.‎ B．Scan the photos of the buildings.‎ C．Build 3D models of full size.‎ D．Measure all the parts exactly.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.”可知，为了制作数字化复制品，工程师需要精确地测量每一部分，故选D项。‎ ‎7．How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance?‎ A．By comparison.

As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty. He would have been a stray(流浪的) dog, until he came to me.‎ I was seven years old. My dad had just got a new job in Nasik. We had moved into a rented house. It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.‎ It was a cold dark night. We had our meal and went to sleep. Somehow in the midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door. I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.‎ There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door. It was wet and trembling. At first it was difficult to see the little one. It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realize its presence.‎ It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat. Was it sick or injured?‎ I felt pity for the poor soul. I went in and came out with an old towel. I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he became dry. I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow. He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.‎ The next morning, everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest. “Shall we keep him with us？” I questioned my mom.‎ Like any other parents would, my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.‎ Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.‎ Paragraph 1：‎ One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ 6‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ One possible version：‎ Paragraph 1：‎ One day, Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat. I was very upset. But the next day, Spotty was up to his usual games though his leg was injured. After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense. I really admired him for his courage.‎ Paragraph 2：‎ Almost a year later, one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly. We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere. After some time Spotty became quiet. The next morning, my heart skipped a beat when I didn’t see Spotty. I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere. I cried and waited for him but there were no signs of him. What would have happened to Spotty? Would he have died? These were the only questions in my mind, but they all remained unanswered forever.‎ 6‎
