16、he local government couldnt agree _ how to make the repairs safely. Therefore, the repair work was _耽搁. However , Im really glad _ _ _ _一想到everybody working together like this to save our heritage sites. I really hope one day we are able to repair the pagoda successfully. I looked at many photos of

17、the pagoda on the Internet,and all my research has helped me _领会，意识到the importance of protecting heritage sites of human _文明.

19、rise, which could in turn flood the Abu Simbel temples. This decision caused _ _ _广泛的关注people around the world.

It is in places like these _ we c

As Cicero remarked, “To be _ _不知道 what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.P53Extended Reading Following the Silk Road_ _ _绵延万里 and _ _ _ _ _风光百变, the Silk Road was

33、a network of ancient trade routes that e_ from East Asia all the way to the Mediterranean.
