【題目】For World Heritage(遺產(chǎn)) Sites, you probably think of places connected with ancient art and culture, and historical buildings. But there are a few of the more unusual sites.

.Citadel of Haiti.

These monuments were built at the end of the nineteenth century when Haiti became independent and the many thousands of black slaves in Haiti were free for the first time. These ex-slaves built the monuments, which The World Heritage List (WHL) describes as a true symbol of liberty.

.The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway in India.

This railway was opened in 1881 and is still operating today. It crosses a difficult area of mountain landscape and it is a great example of railway engineering. The WHL says that it is the first and still the most outstanding example of a hill passenger railway.

.Borders of France and Spain.

This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological shapes. Besides, people there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times. The WHL says it shows us about past European society through its landscape of villages, fields and mountain roads.

.Alto Douro, Portugal.

This is an area in the North of Portugal where wine has been produced for thousands of years. Nowadays it is world-famous for the port wine that is produced there. The WHL says that this long tradition of wine making has produced a cultural landscape of outstanding beauty that reflects its technological, social and economic development little by little.

【題目】If you visit the new Mummies(木乃伊) show at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH), in New York City, don’t miss the Gilded Lady. Scientists say she probably died of lung disease when she was in her 40s---about 2,000 years ago---in Egypt. They even have a model of her skull(頭骨). Based on that, an artist was sure how she may have looked when she was alive. And yet, the mummy’s coffin has never been opened. Instead, scientists used a machine called a CT scanner(掃描儀) to look inside.

CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients. But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies, too.

“A hundred years ago, scientists would usually open mummies’ coffins. This did a great deal of harm to those mummies,” say AMNH president Ellen V. Futter. “We just don’t do that anymore. We can do so much better. By using CT scanners, scientists can know about an ancient person’s diet from some of a mummy’s hair. Pieces of bone can show who was related to whom.”

Some mummies in Peru were buried with a skull hanging from their neck. Scientists thought these mummies wore the skull of an enemy. But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor(祖先).

The 19 mummies in the show are from Egypt and Peru. They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead. The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next world. The people who prepared the Gilded Lady thought she would continue to see, hear, and smell. In ancient Peru, people practiced mummification to stay connected with their ancestors. Some families kept mummies in their home.

Futter calls the mummies in the show “messengers from another time.” With the help of technology, scientists will continue to uncover mummies’ secrets so we can understand it.

【1】What did scientists find about the Gilded Lady?

A. She was a great artist.

B. She died a natural death.

C. She lived in ancient Egypt.

D. She had an amazingly long life.

【2】What do Futter’s words suggest?

A. Pieces of bone show a person’s diet.

B. CT scanners do great harm to mummies.

C. Mummies usually wore the skull of an enemy.

D. Technology plays an important role in mummy studies.

【3】Why did the ancient Peruvians make mummies?

A. To do traditional medical research.

B. To keep close ties with their relatives.

C. To help their families live a better life.

D. To let their ancestors live in another world.

【4】What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The technology.

B. Their message.

C. Their family.

D. The show.
