　Unit 1　Cultural relics Ⅰ.阅读理解 A [2023年·合肥市高三第三次教学质量检测]Examples of effective conservation of places matter to the world. They range from the 1960s Nubian campaign to safeguard Ancient Egyptian monuments from the waters of the Aswan Dam to the removal in 2023年 of the Belize Barrier Reef from the List of World Heritage in Danger. Conservation is the core purpose of the World Heritage Convention and it may also be its biggest challenge. The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable development. A year after Vienna was included on the World Heritage List in 2001, the World Heritage Committee (WHC) expressed concerns about the architectural solutions and height of four planned towers of the Wien Mitte project. This development project, close to the Historic Centre of Vienna in the site's buffer zone, the one that lies between two or more other areas, affected the urban scale (规模) and visual effects in and around the property (地产). As a result of the Committee's concerns, Vienna changed its building modes and launched a new design competition for the Wien Mitte project to work out architectural plans with reduced size in keeping with World Heritage protection. The successful practice inspired the government of the city to invite over 600 experts and professionals from 55 countries to an international conference on World Heritage and contemporary architecture, held in Vienna in May 2005. The global discussion that followed, detailing an approach to managing conservation and development, was recorded in the UNESCO Recommendation in 2011. The Recommendation put forward an all－round and combined approach to balancing urban heritage conservation and economic development, arguing that active protection and management of urban heritage supports the goal of sustainable development. The Recommendation supports the harmonious combination of contemporary involvement into the historic urban framework while holding on to values linked to history, memory and the environment. 1．Why does the author mention the Belize Barrier Reef in Paragraph 1? A．To explain the goal of the organization. B．To encourage the public to protect the world. C．To show the positive effect of conservation. D．To remind people of the environmental problems. 2．Why was WHC worried about the Wien Mitte project? A．It took up too much public land of the city. B．It had a bad effect on the Historic Centre of Vienna. C．Its original designs were not environmentally friendly. D．Its architectural solutions couldn't meet safety standards. 3．What did the global discussion focus on? A．The ways to combine conservation and development. B．The creation of the new UNESCO Recommendation. C．The international urban management and development. D．The styles of the contemporary architecture of Vienna. 4．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To examine the challenges faced by global urban planners. B．To introduce alternative ways of protecting the environment. C．To stress the importance of the value of history and memory. D．To promote active conservation and sustainable development. B [2023年·重庆市七校联考]Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you're in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK's largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them. The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720­foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre's management team said：“The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don't want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.\” The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period. Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn't surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world.“Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，\” he said，“I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.\” The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters\” who try and make their way through crowds politely，“Dodgers\” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers，“Bulldozers\” who push their way through
