A. The Great Wall was begun more than two thousand years ago. It was built to keep out invaders. It extends about six thousand seven hundred kilometers across northern China. Today, the Chinese government is working to repair parts of the wall and protect as much of it as possible. The Great Wall of China is one of the largest building projects ever attempted. It is also the only object built by people that can be seen from space.

B. The Coliseum in Rome, Italy was built almost two thousand years ago. The ancient Roman sports center could hold fifty thousand people who gathered there to watch public events. Experts say it is one of the finest examples of Roman design and engineering.

C. The city of Machu Picchu in Peru includes some of the best stone work ever built. The ancient Inca people built Machu Picchu high in the Andes Mountains, northwest of the city of Cuzco. Machu Picchu is about thirteen square kilometers. Historians say it might have been one of the last places of safety for the Incas who were fleeing invaders from Spain.

D. India is famous for its temples and buildings. The most famous is the Taj Mahal, considered one of the most beautiful buildings ever built. The fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, ordered it built in Agra in sixteen thirty-one. He built it as a burial place in memory of his wife. The Taj Mahal has tiny colorful stones inlaid in white marble. The structure seems to change color during different times of the day and night.

E. Abu Simbel was built more than three thousand years ago. It is about 280 kilometers south of Aswan on the western bank of the Nile River. It took an army of workmen and artists more than thirty years to cut the huge temple into the face of a rock mountain. In front of the main temple are four huge statues of Ramses the Second. Each statue is about twenty meters high.

F. Stonehenge also belongs on a list of ancient wonders. It is a circle of huge stones in southeastern England. Experts believe work began on Stonehenge about five thousand years ago. We know very little about Stonehenge. We do not even know how these huge stones were moved to the area. Much has been written about Stonehenge, but experts say they still are not sure what it was used for.

以下是旅行者信息,请匹配他们计划参观的世界奇观。

Mr. Smith, who comes from Rome, Italy, plans to visit Asia. He hears about a beautiful building which tells a moving story about the love between an ancient ruler and his wife.

Li Hua, who has been to the Great Wall several times, plans to visit an ancient wonder in Europe which has as long a history as the Great Wall.

Cindy, who comes from India, plans to visit an ancient temple on the bank of a famous river in Africa. The temple, in front of which there were some huge statues, is one of the greatest stone works ever built.

Jack will visit one of the oldest stone work ever built by people. It was made up of huge stones, but how ancient people moved the stones and why they built it remain a mystery.

A scientist will be sent into space. He hopes he can see an object built by human beings when he looks at our earth with his bare eyes.

Nature responds to climate change. To understand it, we need to monitor key life cycle events-flowering, the appearance of leaves the first frog calls of the spring-all around the world. But scientists can’t be everywhere so they’re turning to non-scientists, sometimes called citizen scientists, for help.

A group of scientists and educators launched (发起) an organization last year called the National Phenology Network. “Phenology” is what scientists call the study of the timing of events in nature.

One of the group’s first efforts depends on scientists and non-scientists alike to collect data about plant flowering and leafing every year. The program, called Project BudBurst, collects life cycle data on different kinds of common plants from across the United States.

“People don ’t have to be plant experts-they just have to look around and see what’s in their neighbourhood,”says Jennifer Schwartz, an adviser with the project, “As we collect this data, we’ll be able to predict how plants and communities of plants and animals will respond as the climate changes.”

That data will help scientists predict not only how natural communities may change but also how these changes will affect people.

Scientists monitoring lilac (丁香) flowering in the western United States reported that in years when lilacs bloomed early before May 20th-wildfires later in the summer and fall are larger and more severe. Lilac blooming could serve as an alarm bell, Jennifer says.

Improved monitoring is an important step toward predicting how natural communities will respond to climate change.

“The best way for us to increase our knowledge of how plants and animals are responding to climate change is to increase the amount of data we have,” he says. “That ’s why we need citizen scientists to get as much information from as many places on as many species over as long a time period as we can.”

A. research how nature makes response to climate change

B. keep a record of what is happening in nature

70. The task of Project BudBurst is to                .

A. grow more plants to improve the climate

B. collect information about common plants

C. made citizens tell different plants

D. find out how many kinds of plants there are in America

71. By saying “Lilac blooming could serve as an alarm bell”, Jennifer meant             .

A. lilac flowers could made people feel anxious or afraid

B. lilacs could warn people of the danger of wildlife

C. the blooming of lilacs could predict the happening of wildfires

D. the flowers of lilacs could be used to wake people up

72. The main idea of this passage is              .

A. why we need to collect data about nature

B. when an alarm bell sounds for nature
