PART D: READING (30pts)
I Read the following passage and choose the correct answer
The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the most impressive Seven Wonders of the World Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in
Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the most impressive
ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water
One possible explanation for the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants’ irrigation system The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a
series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice patties and farmland during the
course of the year Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production
Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle Therefore, it is
speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructures.
