选择性必修三第四单元课文填空Reading Welcome,everybody. It's wonderful to be here.Before we begin,I want to ask you:have you ever been _惊叹by natural wonders?Have you ever been _着迷 by human civilization?If so, you might already understand why UNESCO is _ _ _努力保护 sites _cultural and natural importance to mankind. I have _ _ _相信 some of you have heard about UNESCO heritage sites or maybe even visited one!There are _目前 around 1,100 sites in more than 160 countries worldwide. Unfortunately,they face _ _ _各种各样 dangers and many of them are _ _ _ _迫切需要 protection. Let's look at some specific issues.Heritage sites are _ _有危险 from natural forces.The long-term natural forces,such as wind,water and temperature, can gradually _ _侵蚀，磨损 heritage sites. For instance, the Great Pyramid of Giza is now several metres shorter than it was o_. Natural _灾害,the sudden and powerful natural forces, can lead to the _(destroy) of heritage sites:in 2003, a terrible earthquake _(shake) south-eastern Iran and _毁坏large parts of the city of Bam, an _叹为观止的 UNESCO cultural heritage site.Another big danger is human activities.Wars can cause a great deal of damage _both cultural and natural heritage sites. Sometimes,amazing ancient clay _雕塑 and buildings are _ _碰巧被毁坏 by missile attacks during periods of _暴力.In some c_ areas where _ _内战 often_ _爆发，fighters even d_ heritage sites _ _故意._与此同时,World Heritage _地位 may _ _ _造成 a series of problems. One of the problems is _ _ _大量的 tourists. Millions of tourists travel to UNESCO World Heritage Sites every year, so it is only natural that the sites suffer a bit of _ _ _磨损. The temples of Angkor in Cambodia are typical examples of unique architecture. Every day, thousands of tourists climbing up the narrow stone steps are _ _磨损 these _古代的 buildings and the long-term _后果 could lead to _ _不可修复的破坏 of the _内部的 structure._ _ human population growth,the demand _ production and _消费of goods increases._大范围的development puts our cultural and natural sites in danger. Many heritage sites are even at risk of _ _(lose) forever.Take theHistoric Centre of Vienna in Austria as an example. The city has been _ _公认为the musical capital of Europe since the 16th century, home to _ _ _.一类人Mozart and Beethoven. It is now on the List of World Heritage in Danger due to high-rise _建筑 projects in central Vienna.Such dangers can have_ _灾难性后果 not only for the sites themselves, but also for people. For instance,the Great Barrier Reef off the north-east coast of Australia is a natural heritage site in danger. Due to high seawater temperatures caused by global warming, a large amount of coral is killed and parts of the reef are seriously affected, which harms its _脆弱的natural ecology. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _除了是各种各样海洋物种的家园 ocean species, the reefs can _促进 tourism and fishing in the local area, _(provide) many job opportunities. It also helps protect the coastline _waves and floods. If the reef disappears, many people's lives and _可能 even their homes will suffer greatly.Heritage protection is _ _ _ _ _ _当务之急 _ _ _ _为.的利益all mankind. The more we _承认 the outstanding _普遍的value of our heritage sites, the more likely we are _ _(treat) them with respect. These sites are the great wonders of our world and tell the story of human civilization.We all share _ _ _ _一份共同的责任 protect and preserve them, not just for ourselves, but for future generations. If your heart breaks like mine _ _ _ _一想到 our _不可代替的heritage _ _(lose) forever, please_ _采取行动. If youre interested, please look at our website and participate in any way you can!Thank you.P47Today I learnt a lot about the Wooden Pagoda of Yingxian County, Shanxi Province.This_叹为观止的ancient structure has a very rich history-it was built during the Liao Dynasty, almost 1,000 years ago.It is actually one of the oldest wooden structures without a single nail in the world and attracts millions of tourists every year!Unfortunately, there has been a lot of damage_the pagoda _ the centuries. Wind and rain gradually _ _磨损 the wooden building. M_, natural d_ such as earthquakes even caused great damage to its _内部的structure. _ _此外,the pagoda got hit by bombs during several wars，which caused some damage. _鉴于 these dangers，it was_ _ _ _迫切需要 repair.For years, _ _ _ _专家组 discussed and _评估different _方法of repairing the pagoda. It was quite a big challenge. Because the pagoda had already started to tip to one side, people were worried it would _倒塌 if they tried to make any _ _大修. Nobody wanted to see the site _(ruin)! After close _ _与.商讨 the specialists, the local government couldn't agree _ how to make the repairs safely. Therefore, the repair work was _耽搁. However , I'm really glad _ _ _ _一想到everybody working together like this to save our heritage sites. I really hope one day we are able to repair the pagoda successfully. I looked at many photos of the pagoda on the Internet,and all my research has helped me _领会，意识到the importance of protecting heritage sites of human _文明. This task should be _ _ _ _ _ _ _每个国家的当务之急.P48The Abu Simbel temples in Egypt are thousands of years old and it took decades to build them.There are _分歧among historians _ when exactly the construction of the twin temples started, but no one can _ _ _ _否认这一事实 they were constructed in the 13th century BCE. In the mid-20th century, the temples were _ _ _遭受严重威胁.The government had decided to build the Aswan High Dam on the Nile and this structure would cause water levels to rise, which could in turn flood the Abu Simbel temples. This decision caused _ _ _广泛的关注people around the world. They could not prevent the construction of the dam and they had no idea _ the temples could be saved from the _(rise) waters.Some experts, however, had a feeling _ it was possible. UNESCO put together an international team of _建筑师,engineers and heavy equipment _操作工, who looked at different ways of saving the temples. At first, they had no idea _ way could work. Finally, they decided to try to _ the temples _拆卸, move their parts to a new location and then put them back together. _ _ _ _ _无法保证 it would work, since no one _ _(attempt) anything similar before. F_, the experts had no clue _ any parts of the temples would break during transport. However, the _操作 was carefully planned and the team eventually managed to relocate all of the Abu Simbel temples _ _平安无事.This success _展示 the power of international _合作 _ _ _在.时候 crisis. It is difficult to _ 预料 what threats our heritage sites will face in the future, but we have the belief _ we will need this kind of cooperation in heritage p_.P49Chris: Sorry to _打断 you, Miss Ma. I'm writing an article about UNESCO's work on heritage p_. Can you tell me something about it?Miss Ma: Sure. In 1972,the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was a_ by the General Conference of UNESCO.Chris: But I've heard some people have serious doubts _the World Heritage Convention really helps.Miss Ma: Sure,it does. It links the concepts of nature c_ and the p_ of cultural _财产，遗产 together. _ _除了 the Convention，the World Heritage Committee was established in 1976 and passed the motion _ we should protect our cultural and natural heritage sites.Chris: I see.Can you tell me what the World Heritage Committee does?Miss Ma: Of course. For example, it _ _投票determine which sites are _ _ _ _被列为 UNESCO heritage sites and monitors the state of conservation.Chris: That's amazing. Is China one of the UNESCO States Parties?Miss Ma: Yes.Do you have any idea_ Chinese p_ are on the World Heritage List?Chris: Yes,more than 50 now. For example, the Grand Canal, the world's longest and oldest canal, was on the list in 2014. I've heard the news _certain heritage sites in China are _ _遭受威胁.Miss Ma: You're right.The _ _提案we should _引起 public awareness of heritage protection is worth _考虑.P50The value ot our heritageThere are certain things on the Earth that we must not lose. The great animal _迁徙 across the plains of the Serengeti or the _高耸的 pyramids of Egypt are such examples. Every country can be proud of its cultural or natural heritage sites, which must be protected, so that we can enjoy them today and allow future generations to know where they come from. We are lucky to have UNESCO to _监管 such an important task. It sees heritage as “our l_遗产 from the past, what we live with today, and what we _ _ _传给 future generations ”_ _ _以及 "_不可替代的 sources of life and inspiration".The incredible _壮丽 of heritage sites is a _提示 of the power of nature and the genius of man. As a national park and _ _自然保护区, Jiuzhaigou Valley just north of the Sichuan Basin, is home to mighty snow-capped mountains, thick forests _ _到处都是 wildlife, impressive waterfalls and lakes so blue that they _ _ _ _使.大吃一惊. This dreamlike scenery makes us realize that nature has truly created a masterpiece. S_, standing in the shadow of the Borobudur Temple, as the sun rises over this grand historic building,we _ _ _对.印象深刻 the effort, determination and _ _强烈的信念 of the people who built it with only _原始的 tools. It is in places like these _ we cannot help but _ _(humble), come to understand our limitations as human beings, and know that our duty is to protect them for future generations.Heritage sites not only often provide answers to questions, but also often pose questions _ _ there are no definitive answers at the moment. They do, however,provide us with opportunities to wonder, to be inspired and to think more deeply about our time on the Earth. As Cicero remarked, “To be _ _不知道 what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child."P53Extended Reading Following the Silk Road_ _ _绵延万里 and _ _ _ _ _风光百变, the Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes that e_ from East Asia all the way to the Mediterranean. A key section of the _庞大的 Silk Road network is the Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor, which _ 绵延 over a distance of around 5,000 kilometres through China, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, covering _ _ _总计达8,700 kilometres of trade routes. The three countries _共同 _ _ _ _申报UNESCO World Heritage status. They _ _ _提交申请 which contained detailed research on the 33 sites along the corridor. This made history in its own way as the first successful multinational World Heritage application-and it seems to be only the beginning of the road for the Silk Road, as other countries are also planning World Heritage applications for other sections of the network.The starting point of the corridor and the entire Silk Road network is Chang'an(present-day Xi'an),in Shaanxi Province of north-west China. It was famous as the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Further west on the Silk Road, the geography gradually changes from wild deserts to high, snow-capped mountains to vast grasslands as the routes pass through the splendid Tianshan Mountains and _显现 in the rolling valleys of Central Asia. Although the Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor ends here, the network continues westwards until it reaches the Mediterranean.The Silk Road began to develop in the 2nd century BCE. _指派 by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian j_ from Chang'an to Central Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. Following Zhang's efforts, trade routes _ _成形，初具规模and relationships were _巩固between the major powers of the time, _ _ _ _ _路网延伸至. as far as the Roman Empire. The network _扩大 gradually, playing an important role in world history between the 6th and 14th centuries, and _ _ _仍在使用 until the 16th century._ _ _ _在初期 of the Silk Road development, silk was the main item in the trade list _ _由于 its light weight and high value. _ _ _在鼎盛时期, many other items were _ _添加 the marketplace of goods. The routes _ _ _到处是strings of camels carrying _ _许多 goods and traders selling everything _(imagine). China's exports included silk, china and tea, _ horses, wool, cotton and grapes were all i_over vast distances along the network._ _ _除了 trade exchange, the network served as a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the _发展，演变 of science, art,technology and many other areas in societies along the network.Astronomy and mathematics were introduced to China from India and Arabia; in Gansu Province, the Mogao Caves, home to some of the finest examples of Buddhist art, reflected the eastward spread of Buddhism from India; important Chinese inventions such as papermaking and printing were first brought to the West through the network.All of these activities _ _ _ _ _ _ _催生了一个欣欣向荣的时代 as trade and cultural exchanges gave people _ _接触 new goods, knowledge and ideas. These amazingly long routes connected Eastern and Western civilizations, which achieved a shared development. In the modern age, through the Belt and Road Initiative（一带一路倡议）, the Silk Road is once again connecting the countries along the ancient trade routes and _ _ _ _ _ _促进不同文明的交流.The _(add) of the Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor to the UNESCO World Heritage List is a milestone _ _ _对.的认可 the Silk Road as a _重要的 part of humanity's common heritage.P55Galapagos IslandsLocationIn the Pacific Ocean, on both sides of the equatorHistoryThe islands were discovered in 1535 and became part of Ecuador in 1832. In 1835, Charles Darwin visited the islands. His research there led to the _开创性的theory of evolution by natural selection.In 1978,UNESCO listed the Galapagos Islands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, _描述 them _ a unique "living museum and showcase of evolution"Importance Because the islands are so far from
