The WHV 2017 aims to raise awareness of young people, volunteers and local communities, about World Heritage related to continuous development and biodiversity, integrating non-formal education tools on heritage preservation and conservation. For more information, please consider the Call for Projects document at this website.‎ Who can participate in this campaign?‎ Youth organizations that want to sensitize young people to the value of World Heritage sites, NGOs and institutions including public authorities that wish to organize an action camp to preserve ‎ and promote a World Heritage site with young national and international volunteers.‎ How to apply for this campaign?‎ We kindly invite all the interested organizations and institutions to join the projects. In order to get involved in or renew your commitment to the protection and preservation of World Heritage through voluntary action and non-formal education, please fill in the on-line application as follows: form.jotformeu.com.‎ Please submit your application at the latest by 23 November 2017 at midnight (Paris Time).‎ If you have difficulties to access the online form, please download the PDF application from below and send it to secretariat@ccivs.org (for projects in Africa, Arab States and Latin America), to info@heritagevolunteers.eu (for projects in Europe) or whv@betterworld.asia (for projects in Asia) with a copy to i.yousfi@unesco.org.‎ ‎21.

An institution from China should send the application form to_______.‎ A. whv@betterworld.asia ‎ B. info@heritagevolunteers.eu C. secretariat@ccivs.org ‎ D. whv@betterworld.ou ‎23. Where is the text most probably taken from?‎ A. A report. B. A newspaper.‎ C. A novel. D. A webpage.‎ B Everyone seems to be in favor of progress. But "progress" is a funny word. It doesn't necessarily mean that something has become stronger, wiser or better. It simply means changing it from being one thing to another and sometimes it turns out to be worse than before.‎ Take medicine as an example. Medical progress has enriched our lives greatly. Because of medical advances, we eat better, live easier and are able to take care of ourselves more efficiently.‎ ‎ We can cure disease with no more than one injection(注射)or a pill. If we have a serious accident, surgeons can put us back together again. If we are born with something wrong, they can repair it. They can make us happy, restore our normality, ease our pain, replace worn parts and give us children. They can even bring us back from the dead. These are wonderful achievements, but there is a price we have to pay.‎ Because medicine has greatly reduced infant mortality(婴儿死亡率)and natural death , the population has been rising steadily, in spite of serious efforts to reduce the rate of population growth. Less than a century ago in the United Stales, infant mortality was reported to be more than half of the newborn within the first year of life. ‎ Medical advances, however, have now reduced that rate to nearly zero. A child born in the United States today has better than a 90% chance of survival. Furthermore, medical advances have ensured that most of these infants will live to be seventy years of age or more, and even that life expectancy increases every year. The result of this progress is an enormous population increase that threatens the quality of life, brought about by progress in the medical profession.‎ ‎24. Which of the following shows the medical progress according to the text?‎ A. Make people younger. B. Keep humans from death.‎ C. Stop serious accidents. D. Cure disease more easily and sooner.‎ ‎25. At the beginning of the 20th century in the US___________.‎ A. over 90% of the children survived after their birth B. over 50% of the children could live normally C. infant mortality was nearly zero D. less than half of the children could live over one year old ‎26. The text suggests that population increase results from ___________.‎ A. extreme measures B. medical advances ‎ C. infant mortality D. quality of life ‎27. What can we learn from the text?‎ A. Everyone is in favor of progress.‎ B. Medical progress always does good to humans.‎ C. Progress has both advantages and disadvantages.‎ D. Medical progress has become a threat to humans.‎ C It’s been said that honesty is the best policy. It sounds like the simplest thing in the world, but being truly honest with others and with yourself can be a real challenge.‎ Most of us learned to be dishonest as children. Remember that dishonesty is rooted in fear, so you must look for and face those fears. By listing areas where you have a problem, and then working to deal with them, you can battle these habits. If you find yourself lying because you fear disapproval from someone, for example, perhaps you need to learn how to stop being a people pleaser and be yourself. Most importantly, admit your errors so that you can forgive yourself and use those experiences to reinforce your determination to do better.‎ If you feel guilty for having been dishonest in the past, apologize to the person you lied to and/or find a creative way to make things right. If you’ve lied to a person who plays an important role in your life (a significant other, relative, or friend), the best (but most difficult) thing to do is to come clean.‎ Think honestly. This may sound silly, but if you don’t think honestly, you won’t be honest.‎ If you’re pushed into a corner and don’t know how to respond, you have the right to remain silent or say “Can we talk about this another time?” or “I really don’t feel comfortable talking about this.” Don’t say “I don’t know.” ‎ Practice being honest on the simple things. Abraham Lincoln became famous for going to great lengths to return a few cents that did not belong to him, hence the nickname “Honest Abe”. By applying honesty to the little things, you will get in the habit of being honest in general.‎ ‎28. What’s the author’s attitude towards becoming honest? ‎ A. Optimistic. B. Pessimistic. ‎ C. Skeptical. D. Unconcerned. ‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. show B. strengthen ‎ C. express D. confirm ‎30. What’s the author’s main purpose of writing the text?‎ A. To encourage people to be honest. ‎ B. To arouse readers’ interest in being famous.‎ C. To call on people to learn from Abraham Lincoln.‎ D. To advice us to say sorry to the person we lied to.‎ ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? ‎ A. Challenge Yourself B. No Need to Lie to Others C. Honesty is the Best Policy D. Little Things Can Make a Big difference D ‎ As the most common and popular forms of energy are being used up quickly, the search to find new sources of energy is underway. These sources of energy must be renewable and not cause the pollution that fossil fuels do. Among them are solar energy, geothermal (地热的) energy, wind energy and tidal energy.‎ We can get endless solar energy from the sun. The main problem is to collect and store this energy in an economical way. We can capture (接收) energy from the sun with plates or cells. Collectors put on roofs of houses and other buildings turn solar energy into heat. With this energy we can heat up water or the air inside. Solar cells transform the sun’s light directly into electricity. ‎ Geothermal power can be produced in places where water comes into contact with hot rock below the earth’s surface. The water that reaches these hot areas turns into steam, which then produces electricity. Geothermal heat is an important source of energy in countries that lie in volcanic areas, like Iceland, Italy, New Zealand or California. ‎ Windmills have been used for centuries to grind grain into flour between two large stones or pump water out of areas that have been flooded. Today, large wind generators turn the power of wind into electricity. Such devices, however, can only be used in places with strong and constant winds. At the moment, though, costs are too high to produce wind energy on a big scale. ‎ Tidal energy comes from the movement of ocean waves. One way to use the power of waves is to seal off a bay with a dam. When water moves into and out of the bay it turns a turbine (涡轮), which produces electricity. There are some coastal areas around the world where the difference between high and low tide is up to 10 meters and more. Great Britain, Germany or France has coastal regions where such power can be created.‎ ‎32. What kind of energy can be used if there are hot rocks beneath the earth in your area? ‎ ‎ A. Tidal energy. B. Geothermal energy. C. Solar energy. D. Wind energy.‎ ‎33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?‎ A. Italy is a country that lies in volcanic areas.‎ B. Wind generators can be set up inside a house.‎ C. A turbine caused by water moves can produce electricity. ‎ D. Sun collectors can change the sun’s light directly into electricity ‎34. When it comes to solar energy, what is the main problem people are facing?‎ ‎ A. How to use cells to store electricity.‎ B. How to cut down the costs for solar energy.‎ C. How to collect and store solar energy economically.‎ D. How to find the right place to fix plates or cells.‎ ‎35. What can we infer from the text? ‎ ‎ A. Tidal energy was used in our daily life centuries ago. ‎ ‎ B. We can collect and store energy from the sun for free. ‎ ‎ C. Some kinds of energy mentioned in the text will cause air pollution.‎ ‎ D. Environmentally friendly and renewable sources of energy are badly in need. ‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When choosing Chinese universities, it is necessary for students to take both university conditions and self qualifications into consideration. 36 The following factors should be considered carefully before making decisions. ‎ Students’ graduation result Students’ graduation result provided during the application is the key reference for the university to decide whether to admit or not. The stronger comprehensive strength and better reputation the university has, the stricter requirement for students’ graduation result will be. _______37 ‎ Economy conditions ‎ The cost of the study in China is relatively cheap, while daily expenses are not exactly the same in different areas. In Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other developed coastal cities, the daily ‎ expense can be relatively higher than that of inland. These cities’ living conditions are relatively better and entertainment and recreational facilities are richer. Therefore, when choosing universities, your economy factor needs to be taken into account.‎ ‎  38 ‎ China‎ is a large country and the northern and southern China has many differences in climate and diet custom. 39 Students need to consider whether the climate, traffic, diet, and culture of the city that university lies in are as expected before applying, so as to choose suitable universities. ‎ Professional or comprehensive strength In China, universities can be divided into comprehensive and professional two kinds.
