17.The Heritage(遗产) at Risk programme aims to understand the overall state of England's heritage by assessing each of its different elements.In particular we need to indetify those that are facing the greatest pressures and threats.We will use thes information to work out how to reduce those pressures and in turn to calculate the resources needed to make our unique heritage of historic places safe.
You can search for sites on the register by entering a site name,location,street or educational block in the box below.
Conservation areas
A nationwide survey of conservation areas indicates that approximately 1in 7is at risk from neglect(疏忽),decay(腐烂)or unpitying change.
Show your suport for our campaign go save conservation areas from unavoidable declineand receive a free campaign pack by registering.There are some 9,300conservation areas across England,meaning that we all live in or near to one or visit one regularly for work,shopping or rest.They are the element of England's heritage that is all around us and which touches all of our lives.But until now no one had a clear idea what condition they were in.
Buildings
The task of assessing condition and risk started with buildings.Following a survey of all grades of listed buildings in London,English Heritage published in 1991the first annual register of those at risk there.
The success of this London work led to the national buildings at risk strategy in 1998,and publication of a register of buildings at risk covering all grade I and II listed buildings and structural scheduled monuments in the country,at risk and vulnerable(易受伤害的).
Parks&Gardens
There are 1,600entries on the current English heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest.Sites at risk have typically been adversely(不利地) affected by development and neglect; often they have been changed by development and are faced with major change.Sometimes development beyond the boundary of a registered landscape can be just as harmful as construction within its boundaries; this is especially true that development would influence designed viwes that extend beyond the chosen site itself.

分析 本文介绍英国濒危遗产项目的评估,这项评估的目的是了解全英国濒危遗产的状况,确定这些濒危遗产所受的压力和威胁,依据这项调查对它们进行保护.这项评估主要对保护区;建筑物以及公园进行,同时这项评估也可以提高公众对于遗产保护工作的关注,并且尽自己的力量来改变不利因素.
解答 57.C.细节题.从第l段和第2段可知,A、B两项分别是"濒危遗产项目"的目的及特殊处.选项D是告诉读者怎样进入网站搜索.选项C是根据第l段最后一句"in turn to calculate the resources needed to make our unique heritage of historic places safe"而得知的.
58.C.细节题. 根据第4段第2、3句"…we all live in or near to one or visit one regularly for work,shopping or rest.They are the element of England's heritage that is all around us and which touches all of our lives"可推知答案.
59.A.主旨大意题.整篇文章都是谈论英国濒危遗产项目的评估.第1段就点明了主题,后紧跟三类遗产评估对象.
60.B.细节题.根据最后一段最后一句"Sometimes development beyond the boundary of a registered landscape can be just as harmful as construction within its boundaries"可知,有时在注册景点边界开发很可能与景点边界内搞建设一样地有害.选项D与文章最后一句意义不符,此句意思是"开发将会对设计观点产生影响,而这些设计观点远远超越于已选定的景点位置本身".因此并不是只影响设计观点.选项D也是不合文章的,因为公园濒危景点已受到开发和疏忽的不利影响,是公园开发有了疏忽,而不是开发疏忽了当地人.濒危景点是由于经常开发而改变很多,这种开发及改变并不是无任何目的意图的,选项A不正确.因此答案选B项.

对于事实细节题,剖析一下不难看出,事实细节的内容不会单独出现,它总会与前前后后的段落内容相呼应.考生只要抓住整体大纲,看懂主题,利用内容间的因果关系,通过时间空间的关系转换,并对细节进行深入的剖析了理解,确定主题,将零碎的细节组成一个有机整体,就能深刻理解材料的内容,从而轻松解决问题.
