A 16th century castle in Scotland is close to collapsing after lumps of soil were washed away by floods, threatening its foundations.(1)On Sunday, the castle’s owner John Gordon, 76, was forced to move out of his property after the River Dee swept away about 60 feet of land, leaving the castle dangerously close to the river, according to the Scottish Daily Record.
Abergeldie Castle, located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was built by Sir Alexander Gordon of Midmar who later became the Earl of Huntly. The castle, which is located on 11,700 acres, was leased to members of the royal family between 1848 and 1970, including King Edward VII and George V.(2)The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued more than 35 flood warnings covering several regions, as Scotland continues to clean up after Storm Frank hit the country last Wednesday. "This means that rivers will rise more slowly, but then stay high for much longer," the environmental agency said.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
1. Why did John Gordon move out of the Abergeldie Castle?
2. What happened in Scotland last Wednesday?
选项
A、It was dangerous to live in.
B、It was going to be renovated.
C、He could no longer pay the rent.
D、He had sold it to the royal family.
答案
A
解析
新闻中提到,城堡的主人约翰·戈登周日被迫搬离城堡,这是由于迪河的河水冲走了大约60英尺的土地,导致城堡离河太近,十分危险。由此可知,约翰·戈登搬离城堡是因为居住在这里会有危险,故答案为A)。
