Question

How does a place become a World Heritage Site? It takes a lot of people to decide.
1）If a country wants one of its places to be on the World Heritage List, it has to ask UNESCO. The place must be important and special. UNESCO put the Great Wall on the list in 1987 because, it said, it was a great part of Chinese culture and beautifully made to go with the land.When a country asks, it must also make a plan for taking care of the place.
2）The World Heritage Committee of UNESCO talks about different places and decides whether to put them on the list. The committee meets every June. Many experts help the committee to decide.
3）After a new place goes on the list, UNESCO gives money to help keep it looking good.If a place is in serious danger, it may be put on the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger. UNESCO gives special care and help to those places.
4）Countries have to give UNESCO regular reports about places on the list. If UNESCO thinks a country isn’t taking good enough care of a place, the site will be taken off the list.

这是一篇文化类短文。本文介绍的是要成为“世界遗产”之一，需要做哪些工作。
1.A 推理题。一个国家向联合国申请到最后申请成功要进行一系列的工作。因此可推测出“想要在‘世界遗产’中榜上有名可不轻易！”。
2.B 细节题。从短文的最后一段分析可得出。
3.D 主旨题。短文的开头已经将本文的主题给出，下文是围绕这个主题进行展开的。
4.C 推测题。使一个地方成为世界遗产的“目的”在短文中没有明确表示，通过联合国对一个国家的要求可推测出“其目的是使其得到更好的保护”。
