Part 2Discovering Useful Structures &Listening and Talking 能力提升练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 Asia's architectural treasures are under threat due to economic development, poor technical resources, war and tourism, according to experts. The Global Heritage Fund named 10 sites facing the loss and destruction impossible to recover. “These 10 sites represent only a small part of the endangered treasures across Asia and the rest of the developing world,” Jeff Morgan, executive director of the fund, said. “We're looking at these millennial (一千年的) civilizations leaping into the 21st century at a kind of pace that is unheard of,” said Vishakha N. Desai, president of the Asia Society, which hosted a conference based on the report. He mentioned the pressures of rapidly modernizing Asia on the architectural treasures. Kuanghan Li, head of the Global Heritage Fund's China program, underlined(强调) the importance in a presentation of working to preserve Pingyao, one of China's last surviving walled cities.“But up to 20 years ago, there were hundreds of similar walled cities left in China,” she said. “The majority of them have been destroyed.” Experts said that global architectural preservation efforts are poorly balanced and targeted, with the UN cultural body UNESCO focusing almost entirely on sites in already rich European countries, rather than in places like Latin America or Asia. More than 80 percent of UNESCO World Heritage Sites are located in the 10 richest states, the Global Heritage Fund said. “Elsewhere, the heritage is being undervalued,” Morgan said, warning that the endangered sites were sure to vanish without quick help. “We're going to lose them in the next 10 years.” 1.According to the experts, UNESCO should .
