In the British Museum on a Sunday afternoon, ancient faces look back at children and adults alike. Inside their glass cases, pharaohs(法老)and priests are【C1】______by the crowds. And crowds there always are, for these are the painted coffins and carved masks of the ancient Egyptians, antiquity(文物)of a culture that has【C2】______the world for thousands of years.
Ancient civilization is part of the world’s heritage, and in recent times it seemed nothing could seriously threaten that【C3】______. Tourists visited such sites as Giza in Egypt and Olympia in Greece safe in the assumed knowledge that we were seeing wonders that would always be available to admire.
Yet the instability of the world in 2012 is a threat to the apparently【C4】______monuments of antiquity. In Greece, being anxious and alienated as the weakest economy in the euro zone faces terrible pressure to transform its way of life had a troubling reflection at Olympia last week, where a museum of the ancient Greek games was【C5】______by thieves. Perhaps this was coincidence, but it is the second recent museum robbery in Greece.
Meanwhile in Egypt, tourism levels have【C6】______sharply since the revolution, and hotels are half-empty.
This is where the word "tourism" becomes in itself harmful. People who visit Egypt to see ancient art are certainly tourists, in the country that was at the heart of the very idea of modern tourism. But this word has unfairly come to imply a selfish, shallow form of consumer spending,【C7】______valuable to poor countries but irrelevant to the higher concerns of national self-determination and democratic change.
To reduce the problems of the Egyptian tourist industry to these cold terms is wrong. Many people visit Egypt with a passionate longing to gaze on the eyes of Tutankhamun and stand at the foot of the Great Pyramid. More practically, the【C8】______from tourism help keep Egyptian sites and museums going. To say these places are only of interest to "tourists" would be【C9】______and miserable.
Both Greece and Egypt are guardians of sites and objects of the highest importance to the entire world. If UNESCO has any value it is surely to【C10】______the fate of antiquities in times like these. And if we shrug and write off antiquity as the stuff of tourism and scholarship, " irrelevant" to these extraordinary times, we are already well on the way to barbarism(野蛮).
A)inheritance I)descended
B)tragic J)compliment
