作业

1. Finish exercises 2 and 3 on page 42. 2. Read the passage on the paper and complete the exercise.

The Rescue of Abu Simbel（阿布神庙）

Among the greatest man-made objects are the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Egypt and the Aswan High Dam（阿斯旺水坝）, which is also in Egypt. The Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970. It was built for several reasons. First, the River Nile used to flood large areas every year and destroyed houses and crops. The Aswan High Dam controls the waters of the Nile so that they now run regularly all through the year. Second, electricity can now be made from the water which rushes through the base of the dam. About 20-50% of the electricity which Egypt needs is produced from this dam.

Before they began to build the dam, people already knew there were going to be several problems. As a result of the dam, the water level of the lake was going to rise by 63 metres. It would be necessary to move 53,000 people from their villages. Also, around the areas of the Aswan there are a lot of important old temples, which date from about 1250 BC. These temples were in danger; when the dam was finished, many of them would be covered by the water of the new lake.

One of the most important temples in danger was the one at Abu Simbel. It was carved in rock and had on the outside four large stone statues, each of which was 20 metres high. Engineers studied the problems and made several different plans for rescuing the temple.

The engineers thought about all the possible plans. At last, they decided to move the whole temple stone by stone and rebuild it over the water level of the new lake.

The project lasted four years and cost one billion US dollars. In all, 1,700 workers and 200 other people worked on the project. First, each stone was marked with a number. The pieces of stone were then carried to the new place, 60 metres higher up the hills. The project was successfully completed in 1966. Today you can either fly to Abu Simbel or you

can take a boat from across the lake. There, by the waters of the new lake, you can see the tall stone statues and visit the temple of the gods. The place is quiet and very beautiful. All visitors who go there believe that it was right that the temple was rescued.

Answer the following questions:

1. Where is the Aswan High Dam? _____________________________________________________________________ 2. What problems did people meet in building the Aswan High Dam? _____________________________________________________________________ 3. How did they solve the problem of Abu Simbel? _____________________________________________________________________
