It was cold that day in 1888 in southwestern Colorado.Richard Wetherill and his brother-in-law were trying to find some missing cattle.They were up on Mesa Verde,a high mountain with its top covered with green trees.The two men came to the edge of a deep canyon.Through the falling snow,they saw what looked like a small city across the canyon.It hung in the middle of the rock wall.There were many connected rooms built into a natural opening in the rock.They named the ruins Cliff Palace. Many other people had seen and taken pictures of some of the cliff dwellings( earlier.But the Wetherill family was the first group to study them.Soon after his discovery,Richard Wetherill returned to Mesa Verde,to the ruins that had remained silent and untouched for centuries. Richard Wetherill collected many objects.It looked as if the people who had lived there had just walked away,leaving everything they owned,such as cooking pots by the fireplaces,food bowls on the floors,etc. The ruins in Colorado had been home to the ancestors of the present day members of the Pueblo tribes.They were named Anasazi,or ancient ones,by the Navajo Indians.They moved to Mesa Verde about 1,500 years ago and left 700 years ago.They built the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde toward the end of the 800 years of living there. Richard Wetherill showed his collection of objects in nearby towns,and later sold them to the Colorado Historical Society.But the Wetherill family continued exploring Mesa Verde.Their finds became known in the eastern United States and in Europe.Hundreds of people went to Mesa Verde to see for themselves. As a result,many objects were continually removed from the ruins at Mesa Verde,until finally,on June 29,1906,President Theodore Roosevelt signed a bill creating Mesa Verde National Park.It was the first National Park designed to protect the works of humans.Then the government approved the Federal Antiquities Act of 1906,which helps protect ancient ruins on federal lands. 21.What can we learn about the ruins at Mesa Verde? A.They belonged to a palace. B.They lay at the bottom of a valley. C.They were discovered by accident D.They were dropped in separate rooms. 22.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4? A.The living conditions of Anasazi. B.The history of the ruins in Colorado. C.How Navajo Indians built cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde D.How Mesa Verde became the living place for ancient Pueblo tribes. 23.What happened when Richard Wetherill's finds became well-known? A.He sold them to an organisation. B.He showed others around Mesa Verde. C.People began to protect Cliff Palace

D.Many people came to visit Cliff Palace. B Examples of effective conservation of places matter to the world.They range from the 1960s Nubian campaign to safeguard Ancient Egyptian monuments from the waters of the Aswan Dam to the removal in 2018 of the Belize Barrier Reef from the List of World Heritage in Danger.Conservation is the core purpose of the World Heritage Convention and it may also be its biggest challenge. The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable(可持续性)development.A year after Vienna was included on the World Heritage List in 2001,the World Heritage Committee(WHC)expressed concerns about the architectural solutions and height of four planned towers of the Wien-Mitte project.This development project,close to the Historic Centre of Vienna in the site's buffer zone,the one that lies between two or more other areas,affected the urban scale(and visual effects in and around the property().As a result of the Committee's concerns,Vienna changed its building codes and launched a new design competition for the Wien-Mitte project to work out architectural plans with reduced size in keeping with world heritage protection. The successful practice inspired the government of the city to invite over 600 experts and professionals from 55 countries to an international conference on world heritage and contemporary architecture,held in Vienna in May 2005.The global discussion that followed,detailing an approach to managing conservation and development,was recorded in the UNESCO Recommendation in 2011. The Recommendation put forwards an all-rounded and combined approach to balancing urban heritage conservation and economic development,arguing that active protection and management of urban heritage supports the goal of sustainable development. The Recommendation supports the harmonious combination of contemporary involvement into the historic urban framework while holding on to values linked to history,memory and the environment. 24.Why does the author mention the Belize Barrier Reef in paragraph 1? A.To explain the goal of the organisation. B.To encourage the public to protect the world C.To show the positive effect of conservation. D.To remind people of the environmental problems 25.Why was WHC worried about the Wien-Mitte project? A.Because it took up too much public land of the city. B.Because it had a bad effect on the Historic Centre of Vienna C.Because its original designs were not environmentally friendly D.Because its architectural solutions couldn't meet safety standards. 26.What did the global discussion focus on? A.The ways to combine conservation and development

C Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain.But they didn't find out in the usual way. Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating.The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal()drawings or painted pictures.Carbon is an element()found in many things,including charcoal and even people.But in this case,there was no paint or charcoal to test.People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools.The scientists had an "aha!"moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings.The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made. "It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art."said Alistair Pike,an archaeological scientist at Britain's University of Bristol."We were very fortunate that some of the engravings(雕刻)were covered by stalagmites(石笋)” When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago,the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old.And some of the animals shown,like the European bison,are now extinct-another tip-off(f)that the art is quite old. The artists came to Creswell Crags.This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age.At that time,much of the North Sea was dry,so people could move about more easily. Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old.They show that the travellers hunted horses,reindeer,and arctic hares.Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany.It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away-another important evidence of understanding how humans spread out across the world. 28.The underlined word"Archaeologists"in paragraph 2 refers to people A.who study things left behind by people in the past B.who have rich experience in painting C.who are interested in wild animals D.who are good at using stone tools 29.Why do scientists say the art is quite old? A.Because the art was carved into stone with stone tools. B.Because most animals carved in the stone are extinct

"It was great,Mom.I am excited about no school on Monday." "You just started back to school two weeks ago.Already in need of a break,huh?" asked Kayla's mom with a laugh. Kayla slept in the next morning.Saturday was her favorite day of the week.It rained most of the day,so Kayla enjoyed playing video games inside.On Sunday,her friends came over and they played basketball for several hours. Then it was Labour Day,you know,the extra day off that Kayla was so looking forward to.But Kayla was awakened early that morning by her dad.He told Kayla that in honour of Labour Day,the family would be cleaning both inside and outside the house.Kayla couldn't believe it.This was a holiday.A day when she was supposed to be enjoying freshly squeezed lemonade while playing in her tree house.As Kayla wiped her eyes,she began to wonder if this was just a bad dream. "Kayla,your breakfast is ready.We have a lot of work to do today.Let's get a move on,"said Kayla's mom.As she sat down at the kitchen table,Kayla asked her parents, "Are you serious about working today?Isn't Labour Day a holiday?" "Yes,Kayla.It is,"replied her dad."But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you appreciate why Labour Day was observed in the first place." At first,Kayla felt disappointed at her parents'plan for the holiday
