(1) If a country wants one of its places to be on the Worl
8、d Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land. When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.
9、 (2) The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide. (3) After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good. If a place is in s

15、alking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. There are a lot of things I love about the city.

16、ight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you cant quite believe how old they are. I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the
17、 museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures. The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldnt tear my eyes away from it. In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tou
18、rists but some of it isnt of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights. Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques(精品店)
19、but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends.

In 3 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order 4 (control) floods,
23、 produce electricity, and supply water to more 5 (farmer) in the area. But the proposal led to protests 6 water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics. After 7 (listen) to the scientists who 8 (study) the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the gov
24、ernment turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.A committee 9 (establish) to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. Finally, the work began in 1960.When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a pat
25、h to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a 10 (good) tomorrow.20、 The Aswan High Dam was designed to control the Nile River. These benefits, however, do not come without a price tag. Hussein M.
26、 Fahim, who has been studying the influences of the Aswan Dam since 1963, writes I view dams as engineering works, supposedly built to serve people; they, of course, have their technical specifications and requirements, but their potential humanistic implications should neither be overlooked nor und
27、erestimated. Engineers and governments must carefully balance the benefits and the cost of any new technology. Huge environmental projects such as dams need even more thought and consideration than a new car engine or a faster microprocessor. The High Dam was actually the second dam at Aswan, the fi
28、rst having been built in 1889. Due to the irregular flooding pattern of the Nile river and increased water demands, the dam had to be raised on 2 occasions (1912 and 1933) in order to ensure its continued usefulness and safety. When debates began again over raising the dam a third time, suggestions
29、were made to possibly build a new super dam. The new dam, the Aswan High Damm, was a technical wonder, being 5 kilometres long at its crest, and 1 kilometre thick at its base, and rising 107 metres above sea level. With the dams hydroelectric capabilities, the Egyptian government tries to obtain the
30、 maximum benefits available from every gallon of water that flows down the Nile. When the Aswan Dam was built, Nubia(努比亚) was flooded. The Egyptian government made arrangements for the Nubians to be relocated, but their lifestyle was destroyed. In fact, many of the nomadic(游牧的) tribes(部落) in the are
31、a were not warned of the changes that would be happening to the river, which affected their routines in caring for their livestock. More important than the appearance of Lake Nasser, as the northern part of the reservoir created by the dam is known, the Nubians grew crops in small pieces of land alo
32、ng the shore. Many people have left the settlements that were created for them and returned to the lakes edge, trying to recreate their lost culture. Dams, like any other technical advancement, need to be analyzed not only on the basis of their perceived economic benefits and their dollar cost, but
33、also on their environmental and social influence as well. The question we should consider as we strive to better the world is not Can we? but Should we?A. Although most people would agree the flood control and the electricity the dam provided helped economic growth, the cost of these benefits must a
34、lso be examined.B. Those areas are now completely underwater.C. How to keep the balance between development and protection of the environment remains a problem.D. It wasnt until Egypt experienced a revolution in 1952 that the political climate allowed the possibility of a new dam to be properly stud
