Question

Although most people know there are Seven Wonders in the Ancient world, only few people can name them. This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids. However, there is a growing list of wonders of the world today.

About nine years ago, UNESCO’s World Cultural and Nature Heritage (自然文化遺產(chǎn)) List had 411 places and 136 countries were responsible to protect them, and the list keeps on growing. Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list. The experts are chosen to work for six years. Their work is to examine and discuss the suggestions from different countries. They also manage the World Heritage Fund（基金） which can offer help to countries for protection work. Over the past centuries a lot of cultural or historic places have been destroyed by man or nature. Protecting our natural and cultural heritage is a long and difficult task. Earthquakes, floods, pollution, wars, or even tourism are some of the dangers that harm the heritage.

When a historic place is in great danger, it is put on the World Heritage in Danger List and necessary things will be done to protect it. Places which are on the danger list include Historic Bridges of Indiana, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Rosenwald School in Southern U.S., etc.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講世界自然文化遺產(chǎn)的保護(hù)。因?yàn)殡S著社會(huì)的發(fā)展，很多古文化遺產(chǎn)遭到自然和人為的破壞。為了加強(qiáng)對(duì)文化遺產(chǎn)的保護(hù)，聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織出臺(tái)政策增加世界文化遺產(chǎn)列表的數(shù)目。并采取各種方法對(duì)處于危險(xiǎn)之中的文化遺產(chǎn)進(jìn)行保護(hù)。

1.】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 由第一段“Although most people know there are Seven Wonders in the Ancient world, only few people can name them. This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids.”可知，大部分人都知道世界七大古文明奇觀，但是除了金字塔外，其他六大奇觀幾乎都已經(jīng)不存在，所以很少有人能夠說出它們的名字。從這句話中我們可以看出金字塔是世界七大古文明奇觀之一，所以D正確。故選D。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中第二段“They also manage the World Heritage Fund（基金） which can offer help to countries for protection work.” 可以看出，世界遺產(chǎn)基金會(huì)可以為那些需要進(jìn)行保護(hù)的地區(qū)提供幫助，所以他們是可以提供資金援助的。故選B。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 由文章第三段“When a historic place is in great danger, it is put on the World Heritage in Danger List and necessary things will be done to protect it.”可知，當(dāng)一個(gè)歷史遺址處于危險(xiǎn)之中時(shí)，它就會(huì)被列入世界自然文化遺產(chǎn)之列，并對(duì)其進(jìn)行保護(hù)。所以說，世界自然文化遺產(chǎn)的名單越多，那么處于危險(xiǎn)之中，瀕臨消失的文化遺產(chǎn)就越多。故選D。

4.理解題。由第一段可知，世界七大古文明奇觀中除了金字塔外，其他六大奇觀幾乎都已經(jīng)不存在，所以人們也不能參觀，故A錯(cuò)；由文章最后一段可知，Rosenwald School屬于文化遺產(chǎn)，所以它應(yīng)該是建立很久了，B錯(cuò)；由第二段Usually it is the task of a group of 21 experts to decide which places go on the list.可知文化遺產(chǎn)列表主要是21位專家組成的團(tuán)隊(duì)決定的，D錯(cuò)；文章提到越來越多的文化遺產(chǎn)遭到破壞，所以說明越來越多的古文化會(huì)被列入世界自然文化遺產(chǎn)之錄，C對(duì)。故選C。
