From Chausay Tevada to Ta Keo, the Chinese team has earned trust and established a good reputation.“Its unfinished status shows the construction procedur
34、es of temples in Angkor. This gives Ta Keo irreplaceable value in the study of Angkors architecture, “ said Jin Zhaoyu, an engineer from the CACH(中国文化遗产研究院).Such uniqueness, however, presented greater challenges. Compared with Chausay Tevada, it covers a larger area and has more risks including unst

Chinas Role in Restoring Cambodian Heritage第二节 (共 5 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）Twenty-five years of experience in the field have convinced me that many people who consider themselves to be highly intelligent are not necessarily good thinkers. 36 There are many aspects of this trap but I shall
43、mention just two.A highly intelligent person can take a view on a subject and then use his or her intelligence to defend that view. 37 _ When a person has a better defence of the view, he or she is less likely to seek out alternatives or listen to anyone else 38 As a result, many highly intelligent
44、minds are trapped in poor ideas because they can defend them so weILA second aspect of the intelligence trap is that a person, who has grow n up with the notion that he or she is more intelligent than those around, wants to get the most satisfaction from that intelligence. 39 Such a strategy gives y
45、ou an immediate result and also establishes your superiority. Being constructive is much less rewarding. It may take years to show that a new idea works. 40 So it is obvious that being critical anddestructive is a much more appealing use of intelligence. This is made even worse by the absurd Western
46、 notion that critical thinking is enough.A They get caught in the intelligence trapB. But why are intelligent people not good thinkers?C. Intelligent people always enjoy arguing with others.D. You also have to depend on the listener liking your idea.E. A person with higher intelligence always defend
