Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2, 000 years. It began in t he rule of China’s first emperor, in Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC~206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corral(畜栏)and pigsties(猪圈). Some were taken away to buildroads. Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrance. Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛). The bricks can be sold for 15yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization and learn to love it.21. The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called “great” is .A. it was very longB. it was very wideC. it had a long historyD. it was made of bricks22. Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear?A. It is useless from now on.B. It’s too old to be used again.C. It will be replaced by a new one.D. Some parts of it are being destroyed.23. The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall .A. nobody can watchB. that are too far to been seenC. that are too difficult to understandD. that are not well known to the public24. What’s the main reason of the Great Wall’s being destroyed?A. The local people are against the government.B. The local people are short of culture knowledge.C. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.D. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.三．语法填空（共10小题，每题1分，共10分）Dear Li Hua,I am 25 high school student in the UK.
