Ms. Jambard took a great liking to me. Of all the subjects in school, reading was my favorite. She would tell me, “Terry, you keep reading. If you can understand what youre reading, youll be smarter than most kids.” After I read all the books in our program, I started reading the classrooms set of Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书). I couldnt find enough to read, and I started to really like school.After I graduated from Ms. Jambards class in 1969, my brother and I moved, and I lost all touch with my teacher. In 1983, I was on a business trip and had to drive through Nashua. I took a chance and dropped by Charlotte Avenue Elementary. I was walking toward her classroom when she came out in the hallway and said, “Terry！” It was as if I had never left.

It contains (包含) thousands of kilometers of dry grasslands and many rare kinds of animals.Edinburghs Old Town is in the capital city of Scotland. It has many old buildings and streets. There are very few new buildings in Edinburghs Old Town.The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is near Mexico City in Mexico. It has beautiful flowers and forests. It is also the home of millions of butterflies in the winter.These three places are very different. But they are all under special protection by UNESCO (联合国教科文组织). They are World Heritage Sites.The story of World Heritage Sites begins more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, the great king of Egypt built many temples. But after thousands of years, sand covered them.Stories tell of a young boy named Abu Simbel who found the temples. One day, Abu Simbel saw something under the sand. Soon, the ancient temples of Ramses were officially rediscovered. But they were not safe. The government of Egypt planned to build a dam on the Nile River. It would create a large lake, which would cover the temples in water.Many people did not want the temples destroyed. UNESCO agreed and raised 40 million dollars from around the world to save the temples. From 1964 to 1968, engineers took the temples apart in many pieces and rebuilt them hundreds of meters back from the Nile River. Today, they are called the Abu Simbel Temples, in memory of the young boy who first found them.The effort to save the Abu Simbel Temples was a success. So in 1972, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Committee, which protects places on the earth that are of great cultural or natural value.Any country in the world can ask for protection from UNESCO. The countries send a list of places to the World Heritage Committee. Once a year, the World Heritage Committee meets and votes on which places to protect. When they choose a place, it officially becomes a World Heritage Site.【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了世界文化遗产名录的相关背景知识。8Whats special about Edinburghs Old Town?AIt has no new buildings.BIts a World Heritage Site.CIts in the capital city of Scotland.DIt has the oldest streets in the world.解析：B细节理解题。根据第五段中的They are World Heritage Sites可知，Edinburghs Old Town的特别之处在于它被列入了世界文化遗产名录。9The young boy Abu Simbel _.Agrew up to be a great engineerBtook part in building the templesClived in Egypt about 3,000 years agoDwas the first to discover the hidden temples解析：D细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中的Stories tell of a young boy named Abu Simbel who found the temples和倒数第三段中的the Abu Simbel Temples, in memory of the young boy who first found them可知，Abu Simbel是第一个发现那些寺庙的人。10How did people save the temples of Ramses ？ABy storing their pieces away.BBy keeping them under the sand.CBy moving them to a much safer place.DBy preventing the government building the dam.解析：C推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的engineers took the temples apart in many pieces and rebuilt them hundreds of meters back from the Nile River可知，Ramses(拉美西斯二世，古埃及的国王名)寺庙被移到了一个安全的地方。11The last paragraph mainly deals with _.Ahow a World Heritage Site is chosenBwhy the World Heritage Committee was formedChow often the World Heritage Committee worksDwhy countries ask for protection from UNESCO解析：A段落大意题。最后一段中的send a list和meets and votes等信息向我们展示了世界遗产委员会是如何选出可以被列入世界文化遗产名录的遗产的，故A项符合段意。.七选五Culture shock has many stages.
