八.阅读理解

词数：278时间：6′

When the Normans built their first simple wooden castles in England, they built them on the top of small hills. The first permanent castles were made of stone and built with thick walls. The main building was usually surrounded by walls which overlooked the moat (护城河)．

The entrance to the castle was usually over a drawbridge (吊桥) leading to the main gatehouse. The drawbridge could be raised or lowered and an iron grille could be lowered to shut off the entrance to the gatehouse.

As time went on, the castle builders became more advanced in their techniques. Instead of building a strong central building and surrounding it with walls of lesser strength, they thought out the idea of surrounding a central area with huge walls which could contain all the main rooms of the castle. These walls usually had many towers and these towers were really a series of main buildings along the castle walls. In building these castles they used hill sites whenever possible in order to give the castle a better position. Because the outside world was shut off by a barrier or curtain of defences, they are called “curtain wall” castles.

With the passing of time there was less need to build strong castles and nobles built manor (庄园) houses. These manor houses often had battlements and iron grilles, but they were built more for comfort and included many of the conveniences and luxuries of the large houses which were being built in the towns.

Unfortunately, many English castles were damaged or destroyed completely during the Civil Wars of the 1600s.
