一、导读：

Step 1 Read the passage in Part A carefully and complete the two questions below

①According to the editorial, why should we protect heritage sites?

Sample answer: Because the incredible splendour of heritage sites is a reminder of the power of nature and the genius of man.

②How do you understand the quote from Cicero?

Sample answer: From my point of view, Cicero's quote means that knowing about our past helps us understand the present and the future better. If we were ignorant of our past, our knowledge about cultural and natural environments would be lacking. We would lose vital information that could help us become better by not repeating past mistakes. We would also not appreciate all the efforts and struggles of the people that came before us.

二、导思

Step 1 Listening

Listen to an interview and finish the exercises on P51

Step 2 listening script

Host: Hello! On today's show we're talking about ways to protect our cultural and natural heritage sites. I'm here with an expert in the field of heritage protection. Welcome to our show. Mr.Li.In my opinion, making laws is a good way to protect the heritage sites at the national level.What ideas do you have for protecting the world's heritage sites?

Mr. Li:  Hi, and thank you for having me here today.I think one important measure we can take is to limit the number of tourists to our heritage sites. This way, it'll be easier to preserve them for future generations.

Host:  Thank you for that, Mr Li.When you mention limiting the number of tourists, what's your suggestion?

Mr. Li:  Online booking can help deal with massive tourism at the site level. We'll only allow tickets to be purchased in advance through an app or on the website.

Host:  What else can we do to limit the number of tourists?

Mr. Li: We can set strict time limits on how long tourists can spend visiting the heritage sites on a daily basis

Host: It seems to me that limits alone won't be enough to ensure the safety of these sites. Would you agree?

Mr. Li: Absolutely We also need a lot of resources. If we want to restore damaged sites, we need money and

equipment. We also need scientists and engineers, as well as experts in many other fields. A big part of my job is to raise funds for our local heritage projects.

Host: Anything else?

Mr. Li: Another critical step is to educate the general public about the importance of heritage sites. For example, this could involve launching campaigns, setting up websites and giving out leaflets. We can also give advice to local officials on how to manage them properly. Every little thing helps!

Step 3  Writing

如何写保护遗产地的文章

遗产地保护属于人与社会主题语境中“物质与非物质文化遗产”和人与自然主题语境中“自然资产”的范畴。保护遗产地就是保护人类自然和文化的精华。写保护遗产地的文章时应从以下几个方面入手：

1.注意文章结构

写保护遗产地的文章，首段介绍保护遗产地的重要性（如：见证历史发展；是珍贵的文化资源）；主体段就如何保护遗产地提出具体的建议、方法、措施等（如限制游客数量、制定法律等）；尾段总结全文，呼吁人们采取行动。

2.采用正确的语言

遗产地保护是一个严肃的话题，写作时应使用非常清晰和直接的语言，也可以用一些情态动词来向人们表达保护遗产的义务。

3.选用正确的时态和人称

在介绍遗产地的现状时，应用一般现在时，介绍其过去的情况用一般过去时。人称以第三人称为主，第一人称为辅。
