题目

阅读回答问题 Last summer vacation, I went to the famous Angkor Wat with my mother. Built in the 12th century, it is an iconic temple complex (建筑群) located near the city of Siem Reap in Cambodia, and the largest religious monument in the world. The word "Angkor " means "capital city" in the Khmer language, while the word "Wat" means "temple". To reach the impressive site, we had to walk along a very long stone road, across a moat protecting the complex, and through grassland. On the way, I met local children begging for money, and I gave them some candies. Angkor Wat is laid out symmetrically (对称) on tiered platforms that climb to the central tower, which rises to a height of about 65 meters. Many of its architectures (建筑) have one thing in common: They all have many steep steps. According to our tour guide, the steep steps stand for a religious meaning that people have to go through many hardships to get to heaven. What impressed me most was sculptures（雕塑）at the site which can be seen on almost all of its surfaces, columns and roofs. There are scenes from Indian myth, featuring a collection of animal and human figures, including Hindu gods or spirits, lions, snakes, winged dragons, and dancing girls. In 1992, Angkor Wat was named a UNESCO World Heritage site. Later it became even better known when the blockbuster Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (《古墓丽影》) was filmed there. Since then, Angkor Wat has been high on the list of must-see sites for travelers around the world. Cambodians must be proud of preserving their cultural heritage so well. （1） Where is Angkor Wat? （2） What does "Wat" mean in the Khmer language? （3） What did the writer give the local children? （4） How did Tomb Raider influence the Angkor Wat? （5） Why did the writer write this passage? 答案： It is an iconic temple complex located near the city of Siem Reap in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world.
