China's giant panda habitat (栖息地) was included on the World Heritage List Wednesday at the 30th session
of the World Heritage Committee( WHC) in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania.
Another Chinese site applying for inclusion, the ruins of the Shang Dynasty capital in Anyang, Henan
Province, is also due to be discussed by members.
After deliberation, the 30th session of the WHC unanimously (一致性地) agreed to include the giant panda
habitat, making it the 35th Chinese site on the list.
"We greatly thank the Chinese Government for submitting (提交) such a good application to the WHC to
enrich tile World Heritage List," said the WHC.
"We greatly thank the Chinese Government for its tremendous effort to protect such a precious site of
bio-diversity (生物多样性)."
Wang Fengwu, a member of the Chinese delegation at the meeting, told Chinese reporters that the decision
would prompt effective protection of rare and endangered animals and plant species.
The giant panda habitat of Sichuan Province covers a 9,510 square-kilometre area including the
world-renowned Wolong Nature Reserve, China has spent 20 years trying to get the area included _____,said
Wang, who is also deputy director general of the Department of Urban Development at the Ministry of
Construction.
The application topped a list of 37 proposed new sites vying (竞争) for inclusion. The giant panda habitat is
home to at least 300 giant pandas and a variety of endangered flora (植物).
The World Wildlife Fund's former China director James Harkness once said that the panda's territory
contained some of the most critical regions for bio-diversity conservation in the world.

阅读表达 (共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)
(1)Freezing weather can mean frostbite and hypothermia unless a person is prepared. Today we talk about how to stay warm, dry and safe.
(2)Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long. It mainly happens on the hands, feet, nose and ears.
(3)People with minor cases of frostbite that affect only the skin may not suffer any permanent damage. But if deeper tissue is affected, a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold.
(4)If blood vessels are damaged, people can suffer a gangrene infection. Sometimes the only way doctors can treat an injury like this is to remove frostbitten areas like fingers and toes.
(5)Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannot produce as much heat as it releases. Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking, very slow breathing and difficulty thinking clearly. Hypothermia can lead to death if the person does not receive help.
(6)To avoid cold-related injuries, here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm. Think of COLD -- C.O.L.D.
(7)The C stands for cover. Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head, neck and ears. And wear mittens instead of gloves. In gloves, the fingers are separated, so the hands might not stay as warm as they would in mittens.
(8)The O stands for overexertion. Avoid activities that will make you sweaty. Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination.
(9)L is for layers. Wearing loose, lightweight clothes, one layer on top of another, is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing. Make sure outerwear is made of material that is water-resistant and tightly knit.
(10)________________. In other words, stay as dry as possible. Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing. These include the tops of boots, the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves.
(11)And here are two other things to keep in mind -- one for children and the other for adults. Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body's temperature. And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm. But what it really does is weaken the body's ability to hold heat.
(12)Next week on the Health Report: advice from experts about what to do, and not to do, to help someone who is injured by cold weather.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
“Depend on yourself”is what nature says to everyone. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. Others still can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
There have been great men in history. But many of them were very poor in childhoods and no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend upon them for an education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils. “I can not make worthy men of you but I can help you make men of yourself.”
But some young men tend to totally depend on others to help them out. They can never achieve much unless they see their weak points and change their course. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers and depend on their own honest efforts.

第Ⅱ卷(共45分)
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分45分)
阅读表达 阅读下面的短文并回答问题。(每题3分,共15分)
The flag, the most common symbol(象征)of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.
The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive(原始的)artifact(人工制品). It is, rather the product of thousands of years’development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.
Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People’s food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.
Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾)before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.
These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.
