The Parthenon in Athens is a building with a long and complex history. Built nearly 2,500 years ago as a temple celebrating the Greek goddess Athena, it was for thousands of years the church of the Virgin Mary of the Athenians, then a mosque （清真寺）, and finally a ruin. The building was changed and the sculptures much damaged over the centuries. By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained.

Between 1801 and 1805, Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, which controlled Athens, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities, removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself. Lord Elgin loved Greek history and transported the sculptures back to Britain. The arrival of the sculptures in London had a huge effect on the European public, greatly increasing interest in ancient Greek culture and influencing contemporary artistic trends. These sculptures were acquired from Lord Elgin by the British Museum in 1816 and since then they have all been on display to the public, free of charge.

Since the early 1980s, however, the Greek government has argued for the permanent removal to Athens of all the Parthenon sculptures in the British Museum. They have also challenged the British Museum Board of Trustees' legal title to the sculptures.

The British Museum, however, insists that it exists to tell the story of cultural achievement throughout the world, from the dawn of human history over two million years ago until the present day. The museum considers itself an important resource for the world: the breadth and depth of its collection allows the world public to re-examine cultural identities and explore the complex network of interconnected world cultures.

It also says that, within the context of this unparalleled collection, the Parthenon sculptures are an important representation of ancient Athenian civilization. Each year millions of visitors admire the artistry of the sculptures and gain insights on how ancient Greece influenced - and was influenced by - the other civilizations that it encountered.

四、实例演练

（一）Are British people Europeans? This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians，who tend to think of all white people as Europeans．But the British，when they are in Britain，do not regard themselves as Europeans．The Europeans，to them，are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel，who have never learnt how to speak English．Europe is known as “the Continent”，a place full of interest for British tourists，but also the source of almost a11 the wars in which Britain has ever been involved．Thus although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe，the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel very，very insular （孤立的）．They feel，and in many ways are，different from the rest of Europe，and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them，or even to understand them，in time of need．

Where did British people come from? This is an extraordinary interesting question，since they are a mixture of many different races，and all these races invaded （侵略） Britain at different times from Europe．Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B．C., but there had been at least three invasions before that．The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians．Theother two were by Celtic tribes：first the Gaels，whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish，some of whom still speak the Gaelic language；and second the Britons，who gave their name to the whole island of Britain．These were the people whom the Romans conquered．The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization，but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers，so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the “barbarians”，i．e．the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe．

57.It can be known from the passage that .

A.most people think white people are Europeans

B.there are many Africans and Asians living in Europe

C.white men are Europeans in the eyes of Africans and Asians

D.the British people think of themselves as Europeans

【点津】 C 该题主要考查对第一段第二句This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians，who tend to think of all white people as Europeans说明在非洲人和亚洲人都认为所有的白人都是欧洲人。

（二）2011广州高考一模阅读理解短文C第一段：

We all remember seeing hitchhikers, standing by the side of the road, thumb, sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.

36.The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers because           .

A.they were not heading towards Manchester

B.they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous

C.hitchhiking had been handed and they didn’t want to break the law

D.he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous

（三）2011广州高考一模阅读理解短文C第三段：

Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who pickes me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.

38.The “fat blokes in red, spotted scarves” in Paragraph 3 most likely means     .

A.murderous hitchhikers

B.friendly and talkative hitchhikers

C.typical hitchhikers

D.strange hitchhikers like the author
