Houtouwan, China It lies on the island of Shengshan Town on the furthermost edge of a group of islands.The only way to get there is by private boat, or by bus, and then by ship.Its isolation (隔绝) was one of the prime factors leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s.Now, its walls and streets become green with overgrowth. Spreepark, Germany Spreepark was closed in 2001 and the local plant life soon got to work.Structures in use since the park originally opened in 1969 were quickly covered by leaves.Now, an initiative aims to bring the site back to life. Vallone dei Mulini, Italy Its high humidity (湿度) encouraged a microclimate perfect for plant growth.As the abandoned buildings fell apart, the ruins and their surroundings became completely overgrown.Photographs taken of the site in 2006 went widespread online. Beng Mealea, Cambodia Though constructed around 900 years ago, this grand temple is far less frequented than its more famous neighbour, Angkor Wat.In 2020, it was submitted for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Natural decline, among other factors, has caused serious damage to the site, allowing the surrounding jungle to overrun and combine with it. 语篇解读:本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个成功回归自然、融入自然的典型例子。 1.What mainly caused Houtouwan’s abandonment?( ) A.Its wet climate.
