【題目】Most Visited European Destinations for Chinese Tourists

Bicester Village

According to a 2019 Visit Britain report, over 275,000 Chinese tourists visit the UK every year. And where do they go? It claimed that “they are mostly interested in symbolic elements: the Royal Family, Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter and Downton Abbey”.

Then there’s the shopping. Bicester Village, a vast retail estate on the outskirts of the Oxfordshire town, is the second most visited UK attraction for Chinese tourists after Buckingham Palace, and three in four Chinese visitors head there.

King’s College, Cambridge

A famous tree, for Chinese people at least, can be found in King’s College, Cambridge. The willow(柳樹), regarded to be a holy thing to lost youth, is mentioned in a much-loved poem by Xu Zhimo, who spent a year studying at King’s College - Taking Leave of Cambridge Again.

Bonn

The former West German capital is another popular port of call. Chinese love classical music, particularly Beethoven, making his birthplace an obvious highlight of any trip to Europe. The city’s tourist board offers maps in three foreign languages: English, Chinese and Japanese.

Verona

Both British and Chinese travelers flock to Venice, Rome and Florence, but Verona typically appears higher on the wish lists of China’s tourists. That’s because of the country’s adoration of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The play is popular on UK shores, of course, but the love is doubled in China as it was among the first of the Shakespeare’s works to be translated into Chinese Mandarin. Its plot bears a striking resemblance(相似之處) to a famous Chinese folk tale, The Butterfly Lovers. Expect to see queues at the popular House of Juliet on Via Cappello (a statue of the character stands beneath her balcony).

1Which is most visited destination for Chinese tourists?

A.Bicester Village.B.Buckingham Palace.

C.King’s College.D.Cambridge.

2Which place are the Chinese music fans likely to go?

A.Bicester Village.B.King’s College, Cambridge.

C.Bonn.D.Verona.

3Which are adored by Chinese tourists who love literature?

A.Bicester Village and Bonn.B.Bicester Village and King’s College, Cambridge.

C.Verona and Bonn.D.King’s College, Cambridge and Verona.

Potential energy is the energy, chemical or physical, stored within an object, atom or molecule(分子). Think about a car at the top of a roller-coaster (過山車), pausing just before it slopes into the next turn. A log resting in a fireplace just before it is about to be lit is a treasure house of potential energy. As the log burns, the connections between carbon atoms that make up the wood are being broken down, and the potential energy stored within those connections is being released as heat and light. As a comet approaches a planet or star, it slows, momentarily affected by the larger body’s gravity. The potential energy builds up and then reaches a breaking point as the comet accelerates around the larger body, and is shot out to the other side.

Sports show countless examples every day of potential energy being transformed into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement. When an archer(弓箭手)draws and holds her arrow, her bow is filled with stored potential energy. When she releases the bowstring, all the potential energy is quickly transformed into kinetic energy, which is transferred to the arrow that takes flight.

The transformation of stored potential energy into kinetic energy can also be made use of to power homes, factories and entire cities. The most notable example is the Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam is an arch-gravity dam by design. This design name is the first clue as to how exactly the dam makes use of energy. Located in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, the Hoover Dam formed, and now holds back Lake Mead — the largest reservoir in the United States.

Gravity acts as a force upon Lake Mead. Held at bay by the Hoover Dam, the waters of Lake Mead and the Colorado River gain greater potential energy with each passing moment. The Arizona and Nevada spillways(溢洪道)are two means by which the waters of Lake Mead can escape the dam. As the lake water falls over the walls into a spillway, potential energy is instantly transformed into kinetic energy. The channels through which the water normally escapes every day are the four intake towers. These towers allow the water flow through passageways to the powerhouse and hydroelectric generators. When the water reaches the intake towers and is allowed to flow down through the passageways, all the stored potential energy created by the force of gravity acting upon the water is transformed into kinetic energy, just as when water flows over the wall into a spillway. By taking advantage of the transformed potential energy of Lake Mead, the Hoover Dam provides power to California, Nevada and Arizona.

Moments like these happen all across the physical world, whether on the molecular or universe level.

Main points

Supporting details

What is potential energy?

Potential energy is the energy existing either in the chemical or physical 1, which is stored in an object.

When a car is sloping into the next turn from the top of a roller-coaster, it is building up potential energy.

When a log is burning, the connections between carbon atoms are being broken down, 2 potential energy as light and heat.

When a comet approaches a planet or star, the potential energy 3 to a breaking point and then the comet is shot out to the other side.

How is potential energy transformed into kinetic energy?

Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy, which is the energy4 by movement.

When the bowstring is released by an archer, the potential energy stored in the full bow is quickly transferred to the arrow, thus transformed into kinetic energy which sets the arrow 5 far away.

Hoover Dam is the most notable example of energy transformation.

Hoover Dam is 6 in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, holding back Lake Mead.

The waters of Lake Mead escape the Dam, falling over the walls into Arizona and Nevada spillways, leading to the 7 transformation from potential energy into kinetic energy.

The 8 of potential energy is from the force of gravity acting upon the water

What 9 is the energy transformation made of?

Homes, factories and cities are efficiently 10 thanks to the powerhouses and hydroelectric generators taking advantage of the transformed potential energy.

【題目】 The following properties which the World Heritage Committee (世界遺產(chǎn)委員會)has decided to include on the List of World Heritage are under threat.

Cultural Landscape and Archaeological Remains of the Bamiyan Valley Afghanistan

The cultural landscape and archaeological remains of the Bamiyan Valley stand for the artistic and religious developments which from the 1st to the 13th centuries characterized ancient Bakhtria. The area contains a number of Buddhist monastic ensembles, as well as strong buildings from the Islamic period.

Historic Centre of Vienna Austria

Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It played an important role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The historic centre of Vienna is rich in architectural buildings, including Baroque castles and gardens, as well as the late-19th-century Ringstrasse lined with grand buildings, monuments and parks.

Okapi Wildlife Reserve Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Okapi Wildlife Reserve occupies about one-fifth of the Ituri forest in the north-east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Congo river basin, of which the reserve and forest are a part, is one of the largest drainage systems in Africa. The reserve contains threatened species of primates and birds surviving in the wild. It also has some amazing scenery, including waterfalls on the Ituri and Epulu rivers.
