17.The Heritage(遺產) at Risk programme aims to understand the overall state of England's heritage by assessing each of its different elements.In particular we need to indetify those that are facing the greatest pressures and threats.We will use thes information to work out how to reduce those pressures and in turn to calculate the resources needed to make our unique heritage of historic places safe.
You can search for sites on the register by entering a site name,location,street or educational block in the box below.
Conservation areas
A nationwide survey of conservation areas indicates that approximately 1in 7is at risk from neglect(疏忽),decay(腐爛)or unpitying change.
Show your suport for our campaign go save conservation areas from unavoidable declineand receive a free campaign pack by registering.There are some 9,300conservation areas across England,meaning that we all live in or near to one or visit one regularly for work,shopping or rest.They are the element of England's heritage that is all around us and which touches all of our lives.But until now no one had a clear idea what condition they were in.
Buildings
The task of assessing condition and risk started with buildings.Following a survey of all grades of listed buildings in London,English Heritage published in 1991the first annual register of those at risk there.
The success of this London work led to the national buildings at risk strategy in 1998,and publication of a register of buildings at risk covering all grade I and II listed buildings and structural scheduled monuments in the country,at risk and vulnerable(易受傷害的).
Parks&Gardens
There are 1,600entries on the current English heritage Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest.Sites at risk have typically been adversely(不利地) affected by development and neglect; often they have been changed by development and are faced with major change.Sometimes development beyond the boundary of a registered landscape can be just as harmful as construction within its boundaries; this is especially true that development would influence designed viwes that extend beyond the chosen site itself.

分析 本文介紹英國瀕危遺產項目的評估,這項評估的目的是了解全英國瀕危遺產的狀況,確定這些瀕危遺產所受的壓力和威脅,依據這項調查對它們進行保護.這項評估主要對保護區(qū);建筑物以及公園進行,同時這項評估也可以提高公眾對于遺產保護工作的關注,并且盡自己的力量來改變不利因素.
解答 57.C.細節(jié)題.從第l段和第2段可知,A、B兩項分別是"瀕危遺產項目"的目的及特殊處.選項D是告訴讀者怎樣進入網站搜索.選項C是根據第l段最后一句"in turn to calculate the resources needed to make our unique heritage of historic places safe"而得知的.
58.C.細節(jié)題. 根據第4段第2、3句"…we all live in or near to one or visit one regularly for work,shopping or rest.They are the element of England's heritage that is all around us and which touches all of our lives"可推知答案.
59.A.主旨大意題.整篇文章都是談論英國瀕危遺產項目的評估.第1段就點明了主題,后緊跟三類遺產評估對象.
60.B.細節(jié)題.根據最后一段最后一句"Sometimes development beyond the boundary of a registered landscape can be just as harmful as construction within its boundaries"可知,有時在注冊景點邊界開發(fā)很可能與景點邊界內搞建設一樣地有害.選項D與文章最后一句意義不符,此句意思是"開發(fā)將會對設計觀點產生影響,而這些設計觀點遠遠超越于已選定的景點位置本身".因此并不是只影響設計觀點.選項D也是不合文章的,因為公園瀕危景點已受到開發(fā)和疏忽的不利影響,是公園開發(fā)有了疏忽,而不是開發(fā)疏忽了當地人.瀕危景點是由于經常開發(fā)而改變很多,這種開發(fā)及改變并不是無任何目的意圖的,選項A不正確.因此答案選B項.
點評 考查政治經濟類閱讀.
對于事實細節(jié)題,剖析一下不難看出,事實細節(jié)的內容不會單獨出現(xiàn),它總會與前前后后的段落內容相呼應.考生只要抓住整體大綱,看懂主題,利用內容間的因果關系,通過時間空間的關系轉換,并對細節(jié)進行深入的剖析了理解,確定主題,將零碎的細節(jié)組成一個有機整體,就能深刻理解材料的內容,從而輕松解決問題.
