三、阅读理解
Imagine mountains held in silver water, shining in the spring
sun. Summer sees the mountains turn green with growing rice. During
autumn, these same mountains are gold, and in winter they are covered
with white frost. These are the colours of the Longji Rice Terraces(梯田).#1
These terraces were built by the local Zhuang and Yao people in
Guangxi. Work on the terraces took them hundreds of years from the
Yuan Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. Reaching as far as the eye can
see, these terraces cover tall mountains, often from the bottom to the
very top.#2
13
So why did these people take so much trouble to turn the mountains
into terraces? Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land here. Building
the terraces meant that they could increase more fields to grow rice.
Secondly, the flat terraces catch the rainwater and stop the soil from
being washed away.
But perhaps what is most meaningful is the way people have worked
in harmony(和谐) with nature to make these terraces. The terraces are
cleverly shaped, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other.
14
During the rainy season, it is along these waterways that rainwater moves
down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and
turns it into vapour. This forms clouds and then rain falls down onto
the mountain terraces once again.
Although modern technology could help produce more crops, these
terraces still mean a lot to the local people. For them, traditions hold
much value. This knowledge is passed down through families, which
means that people continue to use ancient methods of farming to keep
the terraces. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces receive high praise, and
thousands of visitors come to enjoy this great wonder created by people
and nature working together.#4.1
