UNESCO in February 2019 calls it an absolute masterpiece, not only because of the ambitious character of the undertaking but also the perfection of its construction.But perfection isnt protection. 51.2 percent of the Great Wall had either already disappeared or is at a significant risk of disappearing. Besides for wind and rain erosion, the main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall are human factors such as tourism, construction, human contact .Pamukkale，TurkeyPamukkale, which means “cotton castle” in Turkish, is famous for its shining white calcite terraces (方解石阶地)with warm and mineral-rich waters overrun.Before being listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988, Pamukkale had been severely damaged by human activities. People used hot spring water to fill swimming pools, some visitors stood on the rocks and some even bathed in the hot springs with soap and shampoo. To protect the terraces, the Turkish government has decided to pull down the hotels and require all tourists to visit this site barefoot.Great Barrier Reef, AustraliaHome to 400 types of coral and 1,500 species of fish, the Great Barrier Reef draws visitors to Australia from all over the world.However, the Great Barrier Reef is expected to suffer from increasingly frequent bleaching events, cases in which corals turn white and may die, according to a UNESCO report. The heat waves caused by global warming have killed half of the coral here in the two years, according to a CNN report. Pollution from industry developments and harmful fishing practices are also big concerns.The Dead Sea, JordanAt 423 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean, meaning that the water is so dense, even tourists who can not swim will be able to float.But the seaside resorts built in the 1980s now sit kilometers away from the waters edge, which has lost half of its surface area in the past 40 years. The damage is irreversible(不可逆地） due to the nature of the mineral industry and the type of agricultural use that has drained the water.21. Which are you required to visit without shoes?A. The Great Wall, China.B. Pamukkale, Turkey.C. Great Barrier Reef, Australia.D. The Dead Sea, Jordan.22. Which of the following statements is true?A. Main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall come from wind and rain erosion.B. Pamukkale was damaged by human activities after 1988.C. Pollution and the heat waves caused by global warming kill much coral in the Great Barrier Reef.D. Half of the Dead Sea surface area has disappeared in the past two decades.23. What do the above spots have in common?A. They are all famous endangered natural spots.B. Theyre damaged only from human activities.C. They all draw the attention of the governments.D. Theyre all seriously damaged.BWhen I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was delicious. One of my fathers best friends, Bernie, was a successful fruit-and-vegetable wholesaler, who operated a warehouse in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons rolled in, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernies warehouse and take up our positions. Wed sit on the edge of the dock, feet dangling（摇晃）, and lean over, minimizing the volume of juice we were about to spill on ourselves.Bernie would take his knife, crack our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then wed bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart -the reddest, juiciest, firmest, most seed-free, most perfect part - -and throw away the rest.Bernie was my fathers idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that what my father admired about Bernies wealth was less its substance than its application. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. Others are rich without ever being more than a paycheck ahead.If you dont take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy lifes small pleasures, your career is probably overwhelming your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson Id learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could. Well, Ive relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the accomplishments of others and to take pleasure in the day. Thats the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.Finally, I am rich.24. Why did the authors father think Bernie was a rich man?A. Because Bernie was a successful businessman.B. Because his father admired Bernies wealth.C. Because Bernie was good at makin舒中高二统考英语 第3页 (共10页）g friends.D. Because Bernie knew how to fully enjoy life.25. What did the author learn from Bernie?A. Being free is what he pursues.B. Being rich is a state of mind.C. A lot of money makes him happy.D. He likes paying all the bills.26. According to the text, what does “the heart of the watermelon” mean to the author?A. Making a lot of money.B. Having more watermelons.C. Being a wholesaler.D. Enjoying every day.27. Whats the purpose of the text?A. To introduce a successful person in business.B. To warn us of the hardships of becoming rich.C. To remind us of the true meaning of richness.D. To give tips on how to work with others.CMost dog owners believe their dogs experience guilt, but animal behaviorists say the “guilty look” of a dog is simply a reaction to you and that dogs lack the ability to feel shame.Alexandra Horowitz, a psychology professor and principal investigator at the Horowitz Dog Cognition Lab at Columbia University once carried out a study on dog “guilt”. She videotaped 14 dogs in a series of trials and observed how they reacted when their owners left the room after instructing them not to eat a treat. When the owner was gone, Horowitz gave some of the dogs the forbidden treat. Then she would tell the owners whether their dogs had eaten the treat or had behaved. However, Horowitz wasnt always honest with them.Horowitz found that the dogs “guilty looks” had little to do with whether theyd eaten the treat or not. In fact, dogs that hadnt eaten it but were scolded by misinformed owners tended to exhibit the most elements of the “guilty look”.Horowitz says this shows that the dogs body language is actually a response to their owners behavior-not an experience of shame for a misdeed. Why then, do dogs look so ashamed when we scold them?Maybe that look of guilt is the result of a learned association. When you scold your dog for chewing up a pair of slippers, he quickly learns that if he lowers his head and tucks his tail, the undesirable response-raised voice and angry expression-is more likely to disappear.28. According to Horowitz, the dogs “guilty look” is _.A. the dogs nature.B. a reaction to peoples behavior.C. a direct result of copying peoples behavior.D. a response to a shameful behavior.29. How was Horowitz study carried out？A. By giving examples.B. By telling her experience.C. By doing an experiment.D. By reasoning.30. What might be the most suitable title for the passage ？A. The “Guilty Look” of the DogB. Dog without the Sense of GuiltC. Dogs Ability to Feel ShameD. The Study on Dogs31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that dogs were _.A. born with the look of guilt B. born with the ability to feel guiltyC. so smart to copy peoples behavior D. so smart to adjust its behaviorDOK, so it s not a real war-but the U. S. and China are at the beginning of a trade war thanks to President Trump s policy. The Chinese government raised 34 billion dollars in new duties on goods exported from the U. S. last week in reply to President Trump s unwise tariffs (关税) of 34 billion dollars on Chinese goods.Farm and seafood - producing states are going to be hit hardest by China s new tariffs on U. S. goods. States where cars are made and shipped to China are on the hook as well.In terms of value, some 38 percent of products on the tariff list are related to agriculture, including soybeans, sorghum, tobacco and meat. That s nothing like good news for farm - belt states, primarily in the Midwest like Iowa.A wide range of seafood is on China s tariff list. That could hurt fishery workers in Alaska and lobster harvesters in Maine. Alaska, for example, exported nearly I billion dollars worth of seafood to China. China is a major market for Alaska seafood, said Alexa Tonkovich, Executive Director of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. The sea food industry directly employs nearly 60, 000 workers in Alaska each year and directly employs more workers than any other private industry. And automaking states, particularly in the South, are also at risk. Some 24 percent of products on the list -in terms of value-are cars, trucks and other vehicles. Michigan alone exported $ 1. 7 billion worth of motor vehicles and vehicle parts to China in 2017. Other states being affected include South Carolina, where BMW makes SUVs for both the U. S. and exporters, and Alabama, home to Mercedes - Benz, Toyota , Honda and Hyundai factories.舒中高二统考英语 第5页 (共10页）This round of tariffs spares some industries, like commercial aircraft. Washington State, which is home to Boeing, could breathe a sigh of relief. It also, for the moment, skips tariffs on chemical products.Alexa Tonkovich has warned the U. S. government that the trade war could risk employment, reduce industry profits, and cause the higher prices for consumers in the U. S. !32. What does the underlined phrase on the hook mean?A. Delighted in their luck.B. Lost in deep thought.C. Caught in a difficult situation.D. Stuck in traffic jams.33. Which state will be hurt the least on this round of tariffs?A. Washington.B. Iowa. C. Maine. D. Michigan.34. What is Alexa Tonkovich s attitude towards the trade war?A. Approving. B. Sympathetic. C. Objective. D. Opposed.35.
