Ⅰ.阅读理解
What do the following places have in common:the Serengeti Desert, Edinburgh's Old Town and the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve
The Serengeti Desert is in Tanzania and Kenya, Africa. It contains (包含) thousands of kilometers of dry grasslands and many rare kinds of animals.
Edinburgh's Old Town is in the capital city of Scotland. It has many old buildings and streets. There are very few new buildings in Edinburgh's Old Town.
The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is near Mexico City in Mexico. It has beautiful flowers and forests. It is also the home of millions of butterflies in the winter.
These three places are very different. But they are all under special protection by UNESCO (联合国教科文组织). They are World Heritage Sites.
The story of World Heritage Sites begins more than 3,000 years ago. At that time, the great king of Egypt built many temples. But after thousands of years, sand covered them.
Stories tell of a young boy named Abu Simbel who found the temples. One day, Abu Simbel saw something under the sand. Soon, the ancient temples of Ramses Ⅱ were officially rediscovered. But they were not safe. The government of Egypt planned to build a dam on the Nile River. It would create a large lake, which would cover the temples in water.
Many people did not want the temples destroyed. UNESCO agreed and raised 40 million dollars from around the world to save the temples. From 1964 to 1968, engineers took the temples apart in many pieces and rebuilt them hundreds of meters back from the Nile River. Today, they are called the Abu Simbel Temples, in memory of the young boy who first found them.
The effort to save the Abu Simbel Temples was a success. So in 1972, UNESCO formed the World Heritage Committee, which protects places on the earth that are of great cultural or natural value.
Any country in the world can ask for protection from UNESCO. The countries send a list of places to the World Heritage Committee. Once a year, the World Heritage Committee meets and votes on which places to protect. When they choose a place, it officially becomes a World Heritage Site.
1.What's special about Edinburgh's Old Town
A.It has no new buildings.
B.It's a World Heritage Site.
C.It's in the capital city of Scotland.
D.It has the oldest streets in the world.
2.The young boy Abu Simbel ________.
A.grew up to be a great engineer
B.took part in building the temples
C.lived in Egypt about 3,000 years ago
D.was the first to discover the hidden temples
3.How did people save the temples of Ramses Ⅱ?
A.By storing their pieces away.
B.By keeping them under the sand.
C.By moving them to a much safer place.
D.By preventing the government building the dam.
4.The last paragraph mainly deals with ________.
A.how a World Heritage Site is chosen
B.why the World Heritage Committee was formed
C.how often the World Heritage Committee works
D.why countries ask for protection from UNESCO
