Heritage is our legacy (遗产) from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable (无可取代的) sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China make up our world's heritage.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.
How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.
1)If a country wants one of its places to be on the World 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.
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 serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.
4)Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn't taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.
1.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?
A．To tell us what is heritage.
B．To stress the importance of heritages.
C．To explain the aims of protecting heritages.
D．To introduce some places of interest in the world.
2.About cultural and natural heritage around the world, UNESCO encourages all the following EXCEPT________.
A．identification B．application
C．protection D．conservation
3.If a place successfully becomes a World Heritage Site, the country________.
A．can ask UNESCO for more money and help
B．should continue to take special care of it
C．won't take trouble of caring for it
D．will try to put it on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger
4.The purpose of putting a place on the World Heritage List is________.
A．to attract more tourists from other countries
B．to get more money and help from other countries
C．to have it taken better care of
D．to make it known to other countries

The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.
David Tilman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how a diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized (工业化), population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.
The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk of noninfectious diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease.
Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.
And, a diet bad for human beings is also bad for the environment. As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical (热带的) areas will become farmlands for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.
Mr. Tilman calls the link between the diet, the environment and human health, “a trilemma” — a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.
1.According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from ________.
A．transportation B．developing countries
C．agriculture D．developed countries
2.David Tilman believes that ________.
A．the diet, the environment and human health are closely connected
B．the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes
C．people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease
D．traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet
3.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases
B．overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases
C．the examined information comes from developing countries
D．industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet
4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．call on us to protect the environment
B．warn us of the danger of the Western diet
C．remind us of the importance of health
D．advise us to have a balanced diet
