Read the passage and choose the best answer. Part A. 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 fifteenth century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as some of 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 exlanation for the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants’s irrigation system. The temples and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of a rtificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding paddies and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent on 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 system of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labour. 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 may p eople, the local farmers were driven to grow food more quickly and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletio n, and loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly
b egan to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvellous city of Angkor to be swallowed b y the jungle. Therefore it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure. 44. What is the passage mainly about? a. Modern day agricultural procedures in Cambodia. b.
