What historical site impresses you most?I’ve always been fascinated by the pyramids in Egypt.A few years ago I braved a long queue and climbed through a narrow passage to reach the main chamber deep inside one of them.Like millions of other tourists,I marveled (赞叹) at stone-walled rooms full of the magic of this ancient civilization.
But popularity might be the destruction of such archaeological treasures.Take Tutankhamun’s tomb in the Valley of the Kings for example.It lay untouched for more than 3,000 years until the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered it in 1922.Now more than 1,000 people a day walk through it.
But as more and more people visit,the temperature and humidity inside the tomb change.As a result,the beautifully decorated plaster is coming away from the rock.
In order to preserve its heritage,a replica (复制品) of the monument is being opened about 1 kilometer away from the actual burial site.Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun’s tomb and used the data to recreate it.
Adam Lowe from the organization behind the project says the copy is identical to the original.He believes visitors will want to become part of the force that protects it rather than a force that is leading to its destruction.So they won’t mind seeing a replica.
But for historian Tom Holland,a copy is still a copy.He believes that although preservation is important,there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun’s tomb.He says it was built by people who believed in the world of the spirits,the dead and the supernatural.You don’t have to believe in a god or gods to feel a place is consecrated (神圣的) and has a particular quality that can’t be reproduced.
What about you?Would you visit a replica of a monument rather than the original to help preserve it?
1.What may account for the destruction of some archaeological treasures like Tutankhamun’s tomb?
A.Climate change. B.Copies. C.Popularity. D.Thieves. 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“But popularity might be the destruction of such archaeological treasures.”可知选C项。
2.What measures have been taken to preserve the heritage of Tutankhamun’s tomb? A.Decorating the monument again. B.Building a replica of the monument. C.Limiting the number of visitors.
D.Moving the tomb away from the actual site. 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In order to preserve its heritage,a replica(复制品) of the
monument is being opened about 1 kilometer away from the actual burial site.”可知通过复制品来保护图坦卡蒙墓,故答案选B项。
3.The underlined word “identical” is closest in meaning to . A.superior B.sensitive C.exposed D.similar 答案D 解析词义猜测题。结合第四段中的“Specialists have recorded every detail of Tutankhamun’s tomb and used the data to recreate it.”可知复制品与古迹极其相似,故可知identical意为“一样的”。故答案为D项。
4.Historian Tom Holland may hold the opinion that . A.some unique ancient places can’t simply be replaced by replicas B.visitors are advised to see replicas because preservation is first C.ancient civilizations are consecrated and can’t be redecorated D.visitors to ancient civilizations must believe in a god or gods 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据第六段中的“...a copy is still a copy.He believes that although preservation is important,there is something unique about places like Tutankhamun’s tomb.”可知复制品是无法代替文化古迹的,故A项正确。
