Being named a UNESCO World Heritage site is the ultimate feather in the cap for travel destinations.Along with the fame increased popularity，and tourism dollars，the designation brings greater responsibility—both in heritage preservation and sustainable development.More locations are trying to change how travellers interact with these heritages，and will，hopefully，increase the flexibility of these sites in the face of growing environmental impacts and overtourism.
Anyone who's been to the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu knows just how busy its crown jewel，the Inca Citadel，can get.Peru's Ministry of Culture announced last year it would be limiting capacity numbers.
Reduced tourism during the pandemic allowed the team to build new routes to better distribute travellers that currently crowd the site.In the future，with new routes and realtime monitoring of possible impacts，they hope to increase the capacity up to almost 6，000.
Tourists behaving disrespectfully （lying down in the grass，running，shouting，eating，and whistling are all against the rules） is still a major concern.Bastante says they're hoping to address this by carrying out visitor fines，reducing the maximum group size from 16 to 12，and building a new visitor center.
In Greece，as climate changeinduced flames rage closer to the ancient sites of Olympia and the Acropolis of Athens，intergovernmental organizations are pushing to use new technology to save UNESCO World Heritage sites from natural disasters.The UNESCO World Heritage Centre and the Hellenic Group on Earth Observation teamed up to launch a new global platform this spring，which will use realtime satellite data，advanced sensors，and artificial intelligence to quickly identify the presence of wildfires，floods，and landslides near heritage sites and create postdisaster assessments to better shield vulnerable places.
"This is now the era when most countries are trying to build national adaptation plans due to climate change but in most of these plans，the cultural heritage piece is missing，" says Evangelos Gerasopoulos，director of the Greek GEO office. "Symbolically，we are trying to use Ancient Greece，the cradle of western civilization，to mobilize efforts.If we forget the past，we're doing nothing for our future."

1．Imagine mountains enveloped in silver water，shining in the spring sun.Summer sees the mountains turn bright green with growing rice.During autumn，these mountains are gold，and in winter they are covered with white frost.（1）
These terraces（梯田） were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people.Starting in the Yuan Dynasty，work on the terraces took hundreds of years.（2）Reaching as far as the eye can see，these terraces cover tall mountains，often from the bottom to the very top.
（3）Firstly，there are few large flat areas of land in the region.Building the terraces could increase the areas to grow rice.Secondly，although the region has plenty of rain，the mountains are steep（陡峭） and the soil is shallow，The fat terraces help catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.
But perhaps the most important is the way people have worked in peace with nature.The terraces are cleverly designed，with hundreds of waterways connecting with each other.During the rainy season.rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces along these waterways.The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour（水蒸气）.（4）These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish，some of which feed on insects harmful to crops.
Although modern technology helps produce more crops，these terraces still mean a lot to the local people for whom traditions hold much value.（5）Thus，new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces.Today，the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together.
A.Terraces were built to collect the rain.
B.These are the colors of the Longji Terraces.
C.This knowledge is passed down through families.
D.It wasn't completed until the early Qing Dynasty.
E.So how did people change the entire mountains into terraces？
F.This forms clouds from which rain falls down onto the terraces again.
G.So why did these people take trouble turning the entire mountains into terraces？发布：2025/1/1 17:30:2组卷：3引用：4难度：0.5 -
