最新版人教版高中英语必修二Unit 1 Cultural HeritageReading and Thinking原文和习题原文:FROM PROBLEMS TO SOLUTIONSEconormic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection ofcultural sites can be a big challenge.Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam acrossthe Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely darmage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt's cultural heritage. Afterlistening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for helpin 1959.A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from dfferent departments and raised funds withinthe international community. Experts investigated the issue, conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. Finally, a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. In 1961,Germa engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countriesfound a path to the future that did not run overthe relics of the past, but they had also learntthat it was possible for countries to work togetherto build a better tomorrow.The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. Perhaps the best exampleis shown by UNESCO, which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around theworld from disappearing. If a problem seems toodifficult for a single nation, the global communitycan sometimes provide a solution.Questions:1、Read the title an look at the photos. What do you think the text is about?2、Scan the text for numbers. Circle the numbers and guess what they mean.3、Read the text again and answer the questions.Why did the Egyptian government want to attempt the buildingof the dam?How were the temples and other cultural sites saved?How long did it take to complete the project?4、Complete the timeline with the information from the text.A. The project starts.B. The temples and cultural relics are being rescued.C. The project is completed.D. The first temple is moved.E.
