UNESCO lists 29 sites from India in its heritage list which are considered as having outstanding universal value. Travel.india.com lists four of world heritage sites which should be visited at least once in a lifetime.

Taj Mahal, UP

It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It also figures among the Seven Wonders of the World. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage”. As one of the most wonderful buildings, it attracts a large number of visitors every year.

Kaziranga National Park, Assam

It was started in 1905 at the orders of British Viceroy Lord Curzon following a request from his wife. As a famous biodiversity (生物多样性) site, the wildlife park is famous for its one-horned rhino population.

Fatehpur Sikri, UP

Founded in 1569, the city served as the Mughal capital. The city is the manifestation (证明) of Mughal Emperor Akbar's dream to build a great capital for his empire. The Great Mughal's great city was abandoned just 16 years after it was built due to the serious shortage of water. Today, the city is mostly a ghost town.

Elephanta Caves, Maharashtra

As one of the finest examples of rock-cut cave temples of India, the caves have been carved out of single solid rock. The caves are filled with beautiful stone carvings of Hindu gods and goddesses. The sculptures of Mount Kailash, Parvati, Ravana and especially of Lord Shiva, which shows his three moods as the creator, the destroyer and the preserver, are masterpieces.

While e-books are on the rise, most people, especially young kids still prefer printed versions that they can think over for hours on end.Though that is an excellent habit, it also means cutting down precious trees.But what if the book could turn into a tree? Now thanks to a Brazilian children's book publisher, that is possible, at least for one book!

The “Tree Book Tree” program is the thought of Argentina's Pequeno Editor and FCB Buenos Aires.Their first creation Mi Pap Estuvo en la Selva (My father Was in the Jungle), has been around in regular format for many years.In the book, a young boy takes the readers on an exciting journey of his father's adventures inside an Ecuadorian jungle.

The book that is made from acid-free paper, printed with natural ink and hand-stitch (手工缝合), is completely recyclable.Jacaranda (蓝花楹) seeds are carefully sewn into the pages to help it transform into a tree.

After a kid finishes reading the book (over and over again), he or she waters the cover and places it in a sunny area inside the house.Once the seeds sprout, the book can be planted in the dirt in any location the owner decides.From then on, the book just has to be nurtured like any other plant.Franco says they picked the Jacaranda, because “It's a tree that provides excellent shade and offers oxygen to the environment.”

The only unfortunate part is that the publishers are not planning to transform their other books or even make more copies of this “tree book”. This non-commercial project was just a

one-time project to make everyone aware of the resources used when producing something even as common as a book.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。 一个阿根廷人发明了一种用特殊材料制作成的新型环保书。小孩子在看完这本书以后，可以把这本书当成一个种子，通过培养和照顾，让它长成新的植物。

4．What can we know from the first paragraph? A．Reading e-books is an excellent habit. B．Printed books should be thrown away. C．Printed books have consumed too many trees. D．Young kids have a special preference for e-books.

解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Though that is an excellent habit, it also means cutting down precious trees.”尽管这是一个非常好的习惯，但这种习惯也意味着要砍掉很多珍贵的树木。由此可知，纸质书籍需要耗费大量的树木。故选C。

5．What is special about the book Mi Pap Estuvo en la Selva? A．It can be read again and again. B．It can be easily stored for future use. C．It can be transformed into a tree if planted. D．It is about an exciting journey in the jungle.

解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But what if the book could turn into a tree? Now thanks to a Brazilian children's book publisher, that is possible”和第二段的前两句可知，这本书的特殊之处在于：如果将这本书种植，它可以长成树。

6．What can a kid do after finishing reading the book? A．Nurture the book in the dirt. B．Put the book away on a shelf. C．Use the book to protect flowers. D．Sow Jacaranda seeds into the book.

解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“After a kid finishes reading the book ...the book can be planted in the dirt in any location the owner decides.”可知，孩子读完书后可以将其种在土里。

7．What's the publishers' attitude towards the future of “tree books”？

A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Criticized. D．Positive.

解析：选B 观点态度题。根据最后一段第一句“The only unfortunate part is that the publishers are not planning to transform their other books or even make more copies of this ‘tree book’．” 可知，出版商们不打算再制作这种材料的书，可以推断出他们对这种书的未来持怀疑态度。

C

Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time. I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. There are a lot of things I love about the city.

Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics (遗迹) from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't 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 museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures (雕塑). The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.

In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't 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) 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. There was also a christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.

语篇解读：本文为记叙文。作者讲述了自己游览意大利首都罗马的经历和感受。 8．The underlined word “gladiators” in the 2nd paragraph probably means “________”． A．athletes B．butchers C．invaders D．fighters
