第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The Great Wall, China
Stretching over 21,000 kilometers, the Great Wall was built to prevent invasions and has a history of more than 2,000 years. UNESCO in February 2019 calls it an absolute masterpiece, not only because of the ambitious character of the undertaking but also the perfection of its construction.”
But perfection isn’t protection. 51.2 percent of the Great Wall had either already disappeared or is at a significant risk of disappearing. Besides for wind and rain erosion, the main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall are human factors such as tourism, construction, human contact and so on.
Pamukkale，Turkey
Pamukkale, which means “cotton castle” in Turkish, is famous for its shining white calcite terraces (方解石阶地)with warm and mineral-rich waters overrun.
Before being listed as a World Heritage Site in 1988, Pamukkale had been severely damaged by human activities. People used hot spring water to fill swimming pools, some visitors stood on the rocks and some even bathed in the hot springs with soap and shampoo. To protect the terraces, the Turkish government has decided to pull down the hotels and require all tourists to visit this site barefoot.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Home to 400 types of coral and 1,500 species of fish, the Great Barrier Reef draws visitors to Australia from all over the world.
However, the Great Barrier Reef is expected to suffer from increasingly frequent bleaching events, cases in which corals turn white and may die, according to a UNESCO report. The heat waves caused by global warming have killed half of the coral here in the two years, according to a CNN report. Pollution from industry developments and harmful fishing practices are also big concerns.
The Dead Sea, Jordan
At 423 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is 10 times saltier than the ocean, meaning that the water is so dense, even tourists who can9t swim will be able to float.
But the seaside resorts built in the 1980s now sit kilometers away from the water’s edge, which has lost half of its surface area in the past 40 years. The damage is irreversible due to the nature of the mineral industry and the type of agricultural use that has drained the water.
1、Which are you required to visit without shoes?
A．The Great Wall, China.
B．Pamukkale, Turkey.
C．Great Barrier Reef, Australia.
D．The Dead Sea, Jordan.
2、Which of the following statements is true?
A．Main reasons for the destruction of the Great Wall come from wind and rain erosion.
B．Pamukkale was damaged by human activities after 1988.
C．Pollution and the heat waves caused by global warming kill much coral in the Great Barrier Reef.
D．Half of the Dead Sea surface area has disappeared in the past two decades.
3、What do the above spots have in common?
A．They are all famous endangered natural spots.
B．They’re damaged only from human activities.
C．They all draw the attention of the governments.
D．They’re all seriously damaged.

B
In this Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (人均) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.
Some of these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. "The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and other areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible，”said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.
Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech jobs and innovation(革新) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburgh's educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.
Pittsburgh has more STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.
However, some experts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. What's more, high-paying jobs in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So it'd be wise to find ways to increase the population.
1、In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?
A．Transforming old energy into new energy.
B．Creating more well-paid jobs.
C．Prohibiting the manufacturing.
D．Sponsoring higher education.
2、How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?
A．By helping to attract more talents from other areas.
B．By providing much technical support to local companies.
C．By hosting tech centers for local educated graduates.
D．By assisting in employing a large number of educated youths.
3、Why is Patrick Adler mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．To show the disadvantage of a declining population.
B．To suggest increasing high-paying jobs.
C．To raise doubts about growing income per capita.
D．To tell a reason why lower-skilled workers flee.
4、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．How Fast Job Growth Is Related to Population Growth
B．How Less-crowded Cities Plan Their High-tech Economy
C．Why Some Cities Are Losing People but Getting Wealthier
D．Why Some Cities Are Suffering From a Shrinking Population
