Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.     Due to natural disasters or man-made damages during the war, a great deal of historical sites and artifacts have been damaged. It is difficult to repair these sites, as it may take a lot of time, cost, and there is a lack of the information on how the original work actually looked. Rebuilding cultural heritage sites and artifacts is similar to solving a big jigsaw puzzle without knowing what it should look like - everything starts from the beginning and guesses.     One project has been run by a group of scientists to help with the time-consuming restoration of the heritage sites. The technologies in the project are robotics, 3-D scanning, modern machines and artificial intelligence.     These artifact pieces are scanned by high-tech computers to predict their original architecture. Throughout the process, the computer system is guided by humans to ensure that the pieces are accurately rebuilt. The computer software collects all pieces and connects them together to draw a picture of what the original heritage site looked like.     The second component brings robots into the workplace. The robot should be able to scan those pieces of a heritage site on its own, and connects them together as a complete one. The robot looks like an average person to save a large amount of time and human resources when gathering the information about the heritage sites.(Adapted from https://amt-lab.org/blog)Question 29.Which best serves as the title for the passage?A.Why we restore cultural heritage sitesB.How we promote our world heritage sitesC.How technology helps restore heritage sitesD.Why robots replace human beingsQuestion 30.The word “run” can be best replaced by ________.A.moved quicklyB.set upC.carriedD.chosenQuestion 31.Which of the following statements about high-tech computers is true?A.It works automatically without people's control.B.It is impossible to predict the heritage's original shape.C.It can show us how heritage sites looked like.D.The computer system cannot work properly.Question 32.The word “one” can be best replaced by ________.A.personB.robotC.workplaceD.heritage siteQuestion 33.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the use of robots?A.Robots can connect all pieces of a world heritage site to make a complete one.B.Robots can help us collect the information about heritage sites.C.Robots do not waste our natural resources.D.If we use robots, the time spent on gathering information about heritage sites can be reduced.

Read the following passage and answer the questions:Archaeology is partly the discovery of treasures of the past, partly the work of the scientific analyst, partly the exercise of the creative imagination. It is toiling in the sun on an excavation in the Middle East, it is working with living Inuit in the snows of Alaska, and it is investigating the sewers of Roman Britain. But it is also the painstaking task of interpretation so that we come to understand what these things mean for the human story. And it is the conservation of the world’s cultural heritage against looting and careless harm. Archaeology, then, is both a physical activity out in the field, and an intellectual pursuit in the study or laboratory. That is part of its great attraction. Which statement is correct?Archaeology involves creativity as well as investigative work.Archaeology is more common in the Middle East, Alaska, and  Britain.Archaeology excludes the conservation of the world’s cultural heritage.Archaeology is attractive because it’s a physical activity.قبلی

The process of devastation and reconstruction in a post-war era is a complex and multifaceted challenge. After a war, a region or country faces significant physical, economic, social, and political destruction.

Read the passage and answer the questions given:War, natural disasters and climate change are destroying some of the world's most precious cultural sites. Google is trying to help preserve these archaeological wonders by allowing users access to 3D images of these treasures through its site.But the project is raising questions about Google's motivations and about who should own the digital copyrights. Some critics call it a form of "digital colonialism."When it comes to archaeological treasures, the losses have been mounting. ISIS blew up parts of the ancient city of Palmyra in Syria and an earthquake hit Bagan, an ancient city in Myanmar, damaging dozens of temples, in 2016. In the past, all archaeologists and historians had for restoration and research were photos, drawings, remnants and intuition.But that's changing. Before the earthquake at Bagan, many of the temples on the site were scanned. . . . [These] scans . . . are on Google's Arts & Culture site. The digital renditions allow viewers to virtually wander the halls of the temple, look up-close at paintings and turn the building over, to look up at its chambers. . . . [Google Arts & Culture] works with museums and other nonprofits . . . to put high-quality images online.The images of the temples in Bagan are part of a collaboration with CyArk, a nonprofit that creates the 3D scanning of historic sites. . . . Google . . . says [it] doesn't make money off this website, but it fits in with Google's mission to make the world's information available and useful.Critics say the collaboration could be an attempt by a large corporation to wrap itself in the sheen of culture. Ethan Watrall, an archaeologist, professor at Michigan State University and a member of the Society for American Archaeology, says he's not comfortable with the arrangement between CyArk and Google. . . . Watrall says this project is just a way for Google to promote Google. "They want to make this material accessible so people will browse it and be filled with wonder by it," he says. "But at its core, it's all about advertisements and driving traffic." Watrall says these images belong on the site of a museum or educational institution, where there is serious scholarship and a very different mission. . . .[There's] another issue for some archaeologists and art historians. CyArk owns the copyrights of the scans — not the countries where these sites are located. That means the countries need CyArk's permission to use these images for commercial purposes.Erin Thompson, a professor of art crime at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, says it's the latest example of a Western nation appropriating a foreign culture, a centuries-long battle. . . . CyArk says it copyrights the scans so no one can use them in an inappropriate way. The company says it works closely with authorities during the process, even training local people to help. But critics like Thompson are not persuaded. . . . She would prefer the scans to be owned by the countries and people where these sites are located.QUESTION 15bookmark_borderSelect the correct answerBased on his views mentioned in the passage, one could best characterise Dr. Watrall as being:radio_button_uncheckeddismissive of laypeople’s access to specialist images of archaeological and cultural sites.radio_button_uncheckedopposed to the use of digital technology in archaeological and cultural sites in developing countries.radio_button_uncheckeduneasy about the marketing of archaeological images for commercial use by firms such as Google and CyArk.radio_button_uncheckedcritical about the links between a non-profit and a commercial tech platform for distributing archaeological images.
