Answer 1

答案：1．D;2．A;3．D;4．B;
解析：

(1)	全篇文章是圍繞著Borobudur古廟展開的。它在建成后不久，因為Mount Merapi火山噴發而被掩埋；Thomas Raffles是第一位發現古廟之人；UNESCO(聯合同教科文組織)最終重建了它。所以A、C、D項都是文章細節，不能概括全文，故排除。
(2)	根據第一段Working from the tales of the local people…可知Thomas Raffles是從當地人講述的故事中聽說到關于被埋藏的佛雕一事的。
(3)	根據第四段，古廟被發掘的部分是受到了風雨的侵蝕，而不只是雨，故排除A項；古廟內珍貴的文物是被收集古董的人偷走，而不是被專家取走做進－步的研究，故排除B項；所有關于古廟的工作都陷于停頓，而C項中once一詞不準確，并不是曾經停止，故排除；根據People living in the area using stones from the temple to build and repair their homes．(當地的人開始使用建筑古廟的石材去修繕自家的房屋)可以斷定答案為D。
(4)	根據倒數第二段最后一句可知答案為The UNESCO(聯合國教科文組織)。
