Reading Comprehension 130 meters above the Lhasa valley, the Potala Palace rises a further 170 meters and is the greatest monumental structure in all of Tibet. In 641, Songtsen Gambo, ruler of the Tubo Kingdom, had the Potala Palace built for Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, whom he was soon to marry. This building was later burned to the ground during a war and was rebuilt in the 17th century by the Fifth Dalai Lama. Repeated repairs and expansions until 1645 finally brought the palace to its present scale. Over the past three centuries, the palace gradually became a place where the Dalai Lama lived and worked and a place for keeping the remains of successive Dalai Lama. The stone-and-wood-structured Potala Palace consists of the White Palace and the Red Palace. The White Palace, including halls, temples and courtyards, serves as the living quarters of the Dalai Lama. The Red Palace includes various parts for worshipping Buddha （崇拜佛陀）and parts housing the eight stupas（舍利塔） that contain the remains of the fifth to thirteenth Dalai Lama. All the stupas are covered with gold foil(箔). The most magnificent stupa belongs to the fifth Dalai Lama. It is 14. 85 meters tall and inlaid with pearl and jade(玉). The palace also collected a large number of sculptures, murals, scripture and other valuable cultural relics. In 1994, the palace joined the list of world cultural heritage sites. (1)Who had the Potala Palace built? A.Wencheng B. Tubo Kingdom C. Songtsen Gambo D. The Tang Dynasty (2) Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The Potala Palace was built only with stone. B. The White Palace is used for housing the remains of the Dalai Lama. C. The Red Palace is the part where the Dalai Lama lives. D. The Potala Palace is now one of the world cultural heritage sites. (3) The main idea of the passage is ________. A. the history and the structure of the Potala Palace B. the size of the Potala Palace C. the location of the Potala Palace D. how the Potala Palace was built 附录 1：课文内容及课后习题 Lost civilizations Day 1, 15 July I feel lucky to have won a place on this trip. We are in Italy now, and tomorrow we are visiting Pompeii. Next week we are flying to China, and going to Loulan, which is known as China’s Pompeii in the desert. Both Pompeii and Loulan became lost civilizations long ago. Day 2, 16 July This morning we attended a lecture about Pompeii. The city was founded in the 8th century BC. In 89 BC, the Romans took over Pompeii. It then became a rich and busy city. Near the city was a volcano. On 24 August AD 79, the volcano erupted and lava, ash and rocks poured out of it onto the surrounding countryside. It continued to erupt for the next two days. Many people were buried alive, and so was the city. How unfortunate! Day 3, 17 July Today I saw the ancient Roman city of Pompeii as it was 2,000years ago. How amazing! The city was forgotten for many years until the 18th century when a farmer discovered a stone with writing on it. People started to dig in the area for treasure, which caused much damage. Thus, in 1860, the area was put under government protection so it could be preserved and studied. When I walked around the city, I saw streets just as they had been, with stepping stones along the road so you did not have to step in the mud on rainy days! I saw several houses which were decorated with wall paintings. I also saw the people who had been buried alive. It turns out that after the ash covered the people who failed to flee the city, their bodies nearly completely broke down and disappeared, leaving empty spaces in the ash. Years later, researchers were able to use these empty spaces to produce true-to-life figures of the people who had died in the disaster. You can see them today in Pompeii, in the same places where the people fell. The volcano is still there, but looks very quiet now. It’s hard to imagine how this peaceful volcano destroyed the whole city! Day 10, 24 July Finally, we arrived in Loulan after several days of travelling. This commercial city was busy and wealthy about 2,000 years ago. It was a stopping point on the famous Silk Road between the East and the West. It is believed to have been gradually covered over by sandstorms from AD 200 to AD 400. I am so excited to be here! Day 11, 25 July A scholar from the local cultural institute, Professor Zhang, told us that around the year 1900 the European explorer Sven Hedin discovered the ruins of the Loulan Kingdom. Sven found the remains of buildings buried beneath the sand, together with a lot of treasures, including coins, painted pots, material such as silk, documents and wall paintings. When we went to the city, we saw the city walls, palaces, temples, workshops and towers. We found the ruins most interesting. There was an ancient water system that ran through the middle of the city. The desert was once a green land with huge trees, but they were cut down and that resulted in the city being buried by sand—what a pity! 附录 2： 【答案】 1. (1)F (2)F (3)T (4) F (5) T 2.
