Conservation i

18、s the core purpose of the World Heritage Convention and it may also be its biggest challenge.The following example shows how successes at specific sites now serve as models for conservation and sustainable (可持续性) development. A year after Vienna was included on the World Heritage List in 2001, the W

19、orld Heritage Committee (WHC) expressed concerns about the architectural solutions and height of four planned towers of the Wien-Mitte project. This development project, close to the Historic Centre of Vienna in the site s buffer zone, the one that lies between two or more other areas, affected the

20、urban scale and visual effects in and around the property (地产).

21、uccessful practice inspired the government of the city to invite over 600 experts and professionals from 55 countries to an international conference on World Heritage and contemporary architecture, held in Vienna in May 2005. The global discussion that followed, detailing an approach to managing con

27、nce of the value of history and memory.D. To promote active conservation and sustainable development.DSince English biologist Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still of the s

28、peculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs that allowed them to move onto and live on land.Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) A

29、lfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.Romer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The f

30、ittest among them grew to accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land.Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods”. Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海

31、洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Homers theory to places where fossil deposits (沉积物) of the earliest tetrapods were found.According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Ste

32、ven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.The creatures stranded in the pools

33、would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UKs University of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food. the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they coul

34、d flip (翻转) themselves back in the water.”As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge Universitys paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “Its only one of many ideas for the origin of land-based tetrapods, any

35、 or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said. 12. Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?A. Hannah Byrne. B. Charles Darwin. C. Steven Balbus. D. Alfred Romer.13. Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today accor

36、ding to Steven Balbus?A. There were larger oceans. B. Earth was under greater pressure.C. Earth was closer to the moon. D. The moon gave off more energy.14. The underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 8 probably means “_”.A. settled B. trapped C. abandoned D. found15. What is the focus of the articl

37、e?A. The arguments over a scientific theory.B. The proposal of a new scientific theory.C. Some new evidence to support a previous theory.D. A new discovery that questions a previous theory.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，共15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。Your sense of smell enriches your experience of

42、grow older.But problems with your ability to smell may be more than normal aging. They can sometimes be an early sign of serious health conditions, such as Parkinsons disease or Alzheimers disease. Devanands group is studying the relationships between smell dysfunction and certain disease.Researcher
