  In l8l4 Thomas Raffles sent a group of his men to look for a “mountain of Buddhist sculpture(雕塑)in stone” that was said to be buried in the forests, Working from the tales of local people, Mr.Baffles sent his men to work digging at one of the many hills in central lava in southeastern Asia.Two mouths later, one of the men working on the hill found a great sculpture of Buddha carved in stone.The temple of Borobudur had been uncovered.

  The temple was built around 800 A.D, The temple was planned to be a symbol of the universe and was built over a small bill.When seeing from above, a person can easily make out the overall design of the temple.Along the six-kilometer journey through all of the walkways of the temple leading up to the highest level, hundreds of carved images of the Buddha may be found.

  After the temple was completed, it became the center of Buddhist worship in the Sailendra Kingdom until 930 A.D.In that year, the nearby volcano, Mount Merapi, erupted.Tons of ash and lava covered Borobudur.Overnight, the temple disappeared.It was totally covered under layers of ash from the volcano.

  The temple remained hidden until Mr.Raffles and his men uncovered it again in the 1800s.However, after Mr.Raffles left Java, working on the temple was carried on without much interest.Collectors of ancient artifacts(史前古器物)stole priceless treasures from the temple, and soon, all work on the temple came to People living in the area began using stones from the temple to build and repair their homes.Nature also began to wear uncovered parts of the temple through wind and rain.

  In 1900, with Java under Dutch control, an engineer Dr.Theodore Van Erp was given the job of saving and the temple.However, two world wars and a limited supply of made his work stop.In 1973 ,the United Nations Educational Scientific ,and cultural Organization(UNESCO)stepped in and began the Borobudur Restoration Project.

  It was difficult to complete the full rebuilding of the temple.It took 700 men 10 years to rebuild the temple and it cost $25 million.When the thousand-year-old temple was finally respond, the President of Indonesia said through the use of modem technology, “Borobudur will a thousand years more.”

全篇文章是圍繞著Borobudur古廟展開的。它在建成后不久,因為Mount Merapi火山噴發(fā)而被掩埋;Thomas Raffles是第一位發(fā)現(xiàn)古廟之人;UNESCO(聯(lián)合同教科文組織)最終重建了它。所以A、C、D項都是文章細(xì)節(jié),不能概括全文,故排除。

(2)

根據(jù)第一段Working from the tales of the local people…可知Thomas Raffles是從當(dāng)?shù)厝酥v述的故事中聽說到關(guān)于被埋藏的佛雕一事的。

(3)

根據(jù)第四段,古廟被發(fā)掘的部分是受到了風(fēng)雨的侵蝕,而不只是雨,故排除A項;古廟內(nèi)珍貴的文物是被收集古董的人偷走,而不是被專家取走做進(jìn)-步的研究,故排除B項;所有關(guān)于古廟的工作都陷于停頓,而C項中once一詞不準(zhǔn)確,并不是曾經(jīng)停止,故排除;根據(jù)People living in the area using stones from the temple to build and repair their homes.(當(dāng)?shù)氐娜碎_始使用建筑古廟的石材去修繕自家的房屋)可以斷定答案為D。

(4)

根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知答案為The UNESCO(聯(lián)合國教科文組織)。


提示:

本文介紹了Borohudur古廟的消失、發(fā)掘和修繕。

     CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投訴) from consumers
or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
