20、tween progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge.社会进步需要经济发展。新旧更替的时代已经带来，在走向未来的过程中，我们不可能将过去的一切都保存下来。在发展与文化遗址保护之间寻找恰当的平衡点，并加以保持，这可能是一项巨大的挑战。Unit 1 Cultural Heritage Part 2(Paragraphs 2-5)The process of saving cultural relics Big challenges can sometimes lead to great solution

24、 dam,the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.然而，巨大的挑战有时会带来伟大的解决方案。20世纪50年代，埃及政府打算在尼罗河上新建一座大坝，可以防洪、发电并为该地区更多的农民供水。但是，该提议引发了抗议。因为大坝泄流很可能会损坏许多寺庙，摧毁一批文物，而这些文物是埃及文化遗产的重要组成部分。在听取了研究该问题的科学家以及大坝附近居民的意见后，政府于1959年向联合国求助。Unit 1 Cultural Heritage A committee was established to limit damage

27、 sites were taken down piece by piece,and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water.In 1961,German engineers moved the first temple.Over the next 20 years,thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics.Fifty countries d
