10、 carved into the rocks at one of Frances most important tourist sites are being gradually destroyed. Scientists and researchers fear that the 36,000 drawings on rocks in Mont Bego in the French Alps are being damaged so rapidly that they will not survive for future generations.The mountain, believed

11、 to have once been a site for prayer, is scattered (散布) with 4,000-year-old drawings cut into bare rock. They include pictures of cows with horns, cultivated fields (耕地) and various gods and goddesses. But as the popularity of the site increases, the pictures are being ruined by thoughtless graffiti

12、 (涂鸦).Jean Clottes is the chairman of the International Committee on Rock Art. He says, “People think that because the pictures have been there so long they will always continue to be there. But if the damage continues at this rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.”He describes seeing tourists

13、 stamping on the drawings, wearing away the rock and definition (清晰) of the artwork as they do so. Some visitors, he says, even cut off parts to take home as souvenirs. “When people think they cant take a good enough photograph, they rub the drawings to get a clearer picture,” he said. “The drawings

14、 are polished by the weather, and if the sun is shining and the visitors cant see them properly they simply rub them to make them look fresher.” Other researchers describe how people arrive carrying long sticks with sharp ends to scratch (刮) their own drawings, or even their names, in the rocks.But

15、experts are divided over the best way to preserve the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, believes that the only way to save the site is to turn the whole mountain into a “no-go” area, preventing the public from going there except on guided tours. Otherwise

16、, he says, not only will the site be completely destroyed but important research work will be reduced.Clottes disagrees, “The measure suggested by Henry de Lumley is the most severe, and while it is the most effective, it is also certain to bring about protests from people who live there,” he said.

17、“The site was classified as a historic monument years ago by the Ministry of Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save what is there.”David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to avoid closing the site. “Henry de Lumleys idea isnt ideal,” he said. “Our department feels that the be

18、st solution is to let people look at the site, but because the area is very big it is difficult to prevent visitors from damaging it. I would prefer that everyone was able to look at it, but the main problem is money. We do not have the funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We may have to

19、consider charging a fee. It doesnt seem to be possible to get the government support.”In Nice, Annie Echassoux, who also worked on researching the site, is alarmed that as the mountain becomes easier to reach tourists can now avoid the three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehicles the damage will in

20、crease rapidly. She thinks that the only solution is to rope off the area and provide guides. “You cant say the plan cant go ahead because there is no money,” she said. “That is not good enough. Money must be provided because the Ministry of Culture has classified this area as a historic site. If we

21、 dont take steps, we will be responsible for losing the drawings for the next generation.”21Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain_.A. do not believe the drawings are old. B. believe they are allowed to paint thereC. think the drawings should be left alone D. think the drawings will no

22、t disappear22According to Jean Clottes, some of the visitors to the area have_.A. helped to clean the drawings B. taken bits of the rock homeC. been unable to take photographs D. misunderstood what the pictures mean23Henry de Lumley is eager to _.A. set up research projects B. protect public rightsC

23、. keep out individual visitors D. ban traffic in the area24Which word best describes Annie Echassouxs attitude towards saving the historic site?A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Worried. D. Hesitant.BHearing the Sweetest Songs My parents said I lost my hearing as a baby, but I knew I hadnt lost any

24、thing. None of my parts had dropped off. Nothing had changed: I could hear music that was close enough to me. I could also hear my mom when she was in the same room. I could even hear my cat purr if I put my good ear on top of him. I wasnt aware of any hearing loss until I began to wear a hearing ai

25、d when I started living alone. I noticed it ruined my peace of mind: pencils tapping, phones ringing, and refrigerators humming. Then, I began to discover many things I couldnt do. I couldnt tell where sounds came from, nor could I tell fire alarms from burglar alarms. I once missed a job interview

26、because I misheard the address on the phone. For the first time, I had to admit that I had lost something.Unlike a wheelchair, my disability doesnt announce itself. When I got jobs, I chose to keep it as a secret. One day a business friend said, “Nicolette, sometimes in meetings you answer the wrong

27、 questions. People dont know you cant hear, so they think youre strange, stupidor just plain rude. It would be better to just tell them.” But I knew if I told, people might see only my disability, and they might forget that I was also a writer, a painter, and a good gardener. I felt disabled and hel

28、pless.This bothered me till I met my husband. One morning at the shore I was listening to the sounds of the sea when my husband said, “Hear the bird?” “What bird?” I listened hard until I heard a tiny sound. If he hadnt mentioned it I would never have noticed it. As I listened, slowly I began to hea

29、ror perhaps imaginea distant song. Did I really hear it? Or just heard in my heart what he shared with me? I realized that songs imagined were as sweet as songs heard and songs shared were sweeter still. This sharing is what both the disabled and non-disabled want. Every one of us, if we live long e

30、nough, will become disabled in some way. Lets share. Now, just let me see your lips when you speak. And ask what you want to know. These are conversations we all should have, and its not that hard to begin. 25. When the author wore the hearing aid, she _. A. felt better prepared for the job intervie
