People often wonder about some of the best places to see. A good point of reference is to first look at attractions labeled as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. These sites are culturally or physically significant places listed by the United Nations for their importance to humanity as a whole. Let’s see some of them!
The Mogao Caves, China
Also known as the Mogao Grottoes, the caves are located along the cliffside (峭璧) above the Daquan River in Gansu province. First built in 366 and comprising 492 caves, the Mogao Caves are known as the biggest collection of Buddhist art in the world. As a landmark or the historic Silk Road, the Mogao Caves are a perfect display of Chinese art history over a period of a thousand years.
Redwood National Park, US
Lying in the mountainous region north of San Francisco in California, US. the Redwood National Park is significant for its collection of redwood trees — the tallest and oldest trees in the world — as well as its variety of sea and land wildlife. Once abundant throughout the temperate (气候温和) regions of the world, the Redwood trees of California are among the only living examples left of this old plant species, a biological group which has existed for 160 million years.
Machu Picchu, Peru
Situated in the Andes Mountains, this fascinating ancient city is remarkable both for its beautiful setting as well as its use of complex city planning. Standing at 2,430 meters above sea level, the city of Machu Picchu is covered with both mist and mystery. Researchers have yet to uncover the city’s role in the Incan (印加族的) empire’s use of astronomy and plant domestication (驯化).

Sadiya Abid, a high school student from the US, said that while she was growing up, her mom would encourage her to advocate for herself and to fight for her rights. But during her freshman year at Blue Valley West High School, Abid realized that many of her classmates did not have such a strong, female role model at home as she did.
In 2020, Abid and her friend Kavya Parikh started a student club at their school called Future Is Female to help empower teen girls and offer a safe space to talk about difficult issues. The club quickly expanded far beyond Blue Valley West.
The club has now been replicated in schools across the country. Abid and Parikh launched a nonprofit, which supports 11 chapters (分会) at schools in six states, raising money to advocate for women’s rights. The nonprofit was recently named a winner of a national contest that gives young leaders seed money.
Through Zoom calls during the pandemic school year, the Blue Valley West students found ways to connect and educate each other on topics such as self-defense and bullying. The club quickly grew to about 50 members, with more students joining every meeting. “We’re not just educating them about women’s issues, but we’re also giving them the tools to combat them,” Parikh said.
At first, the pair received some opposition. “We were passionate about starting this, and people weren’t necessarily respecting that,” Abid said. “But as we started getting the word out more and more, support started flowing in.”
The girls said that in their junior year, they want to continue fighting for women’s rights
and empowering other students to stand up for gender equality.
The students also focus on continuing to give back to the community. They said they’ve raised about $7,000 (about 48,444 yuan) so far and have donated about 20,000 products to women’s shelters.
4．Why did Abid start a student club?

In July, Australian artist Matthew Griffin had his work Pickle(《酸黄瓜》)exhibited at a New Zealand gallery. The work is merely a pickle taken from a McDonald’s burger, stuck onto the gallery’s ceiling with ketchup(番茄酱)on it. With a price tag of NZ$10,000 (about 42,200 yuan), it started an ongoing debate: Is this art?
In fact, this is not the only strange artwork people have seen in recent years. In 2019, Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan’s work Comedian featured a store-bought banana with duct tape(强力胶). Far before that, Artist Rogier van der Zwang used 3D animation instead of painting materials to make visual rainbow. These trends bring us back to the classic discussion on how to understand art.
As British art historian Ernst Gombrich famously put it, “There really is no such thing as
art. There are only artists.” Art is a personal expression; ultimately its agency is created by the artist. As each era cultivates its unique artists, the private message an artwork conveys can connect with every individual across time. Great artists from the past to the present all enjoy both fame and criticism. The way they appeal to certain audiences and encourage a wide range of debates and interpretations is exactly the charm of art.
Opponents may hold that despite the artist’s right to create, it is not up to the artist to determine if a piece of work is considered art. It is true that we see only the leftover of a cheeseburger. There is no real technique in Griffin’s Pickle. However, this is also where it is open to interpretation: For some, the pickle seems meaningless and artificial; for some, the pickle can be a commercial and cultural symbol. There is undoubtedly an innovation of “form”. It shows the artist’s exploration of the vehicle of art. The slice of pickle can be seen as a symbol. The ketchup plays an influence on the colors, with the surrounding white wall being another vehicle for expression.
After all, art welcomes various responses, which explains why viewing art is such an engaging experience.
In a word, we should always keep an open mind toward any embodiment(化身)of art. 8．What do we know about the work Pickle?
A．It’s made on the gallery’s ceiling.
B．It is as simple as the banana work.
C．People’s opinions vary on the work.
D．People think it’s not worth the money.
9．Which of the following is true according to paragraph 3?
A．Art can connect with people easily.
B．Artists are always admired by people.
C．The interpretation of art is critical.
D．The understanding of art is subjective.
10．What’s the author’s attitude to the work Pickle?
A．Objective B．Opposed C．Favorable D．Indifferent 11．According to this passage , art can be best described as ______.
A．connective but unreal B．charming but untouchable C．abstract but engaging D．appealing but controversial
This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts due to the warm weather. A study published on Aug 29 revealed more concerning issues in the supposedly coldest area of the world. Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be melting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).
Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement (补充) the amount of ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.
Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice. In perfect balance, snow in the mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers, balancing out what’s melting on the edges, according to AP. But in the last few decades, there is less refill and more melting, creating an imbalance.
Study co-author William Colgan at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland told AP that 3.3 percent of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt eventually. “Starving would be a good phrase” for what’s happening to the ice, Colgan added.
With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth, areas of melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the world’s richest men. According to CNN, in early August, there was a “treasure hunt” in Greenland. Billionaires, including Bill Gates and others, financially backed KoBold Metals, a US-based mineral exploration company, to explore the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland. The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals to power hundreds of millions of electric vehicles, the critical resource is capable of powering the green energy transition.
12．What happened in North Pole this summer?
A．The massive Greenland sheet has melted.
B．North Pole experienced unusual weather.
C．The melted ice raised sea level significantly.
D．The interview team revealed concerning issues.
13．Zombie ice is the kind of ice that ______.
A．can be easily formed again
B．is still joined to bigger ice
C．complemented the thickest ice
D．is continuously fed by larger ice
14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．There are abundant resources under the earth.
B．The treasure hunt can only benefit the richest people.
C．Businessmen wanted to make profit from the resources.
D．The minerals will soon become a green energy alternative.
15．The suitable saying that can be applied to this passage is ______.
A．Every coin has two sides
B．Man can conquer nature
C．The early bird catches the worm
D．One false move may lose the game
