Palaces are knwn fr their beauty and splendr, but they ffer little prtectin against attacks. It is easy t defend a large building, but usually these buildings are nt designed with the cmfrt f a king in mind. When it cmes t structures that are bth beautiful and defensive, the Eurpean castle is a big success.
Castles were riginally built in England by the Nrmans in 1066. They built twers and walls t secure the land they had taken. These castles prvided the Nrmans with a quiet and safe place. They als served as bases f peratin fr attacks. In this way castles played bth defensive (防御性的) and ffensive (攻击性的) rles. Besides, castles served as ffices fr gvernrs. Thse that were scially beneath the gvernr wuld cme t reprt affairs (事务) and express their respect. They wuld address prblems, handle business, feast, and enjy festivities in castles. S castles served as scial centers as well.
The first castles were made f earth and wd, and they were likely t suffer frm fire attacks. Then wden castles were gradually replaced by stne nes, which greatly increased the strength f these twers and walls. Hwever, attackers culd thrw flaming bjects int castles thrugh the windws r burn the wden drs. This led t mving the windws and entrances ff f the grund flr and up t the first flr t make them mre difficult t access.
During the Middle Ages, attacks increased in regularity, s castle defenses were updated. Arrw-slits were added. They were small hles in the castle, which allwed defenders t fire withut being hurt. Twers were built frm which defenders culd prvide fire n bth sides. The twers were cnnected t the castle by wden bridges, s that if ne twer fell, the rest f the castle was still easy t defend. A lt f rings f castle walls were cnstructed, s that even if attackers went past ne wall, they wuld be caught n a killing grund between inner and uter walls. All f these increased the defense f castles.
Gunpwder (火药) led t the end f the castle. During the 15th century, artillery, a kind f large guns, became pwerful enugh t break thrugh stne walls. This greatly made the rle f castles less effective. Thugh castles n lnger serve their riginal purpses, remaining castles receive millins f visitrs each year wh wish t experience the situatins f ancient times.
27. What was the riginal functin f castles accrding t the passage?
A. They served as turist attractins.
B. They were imprtant scial centers.
C. They were built fr religius ceremnies.
D. They were built fr use in emergencies.
28. The reasn why wden castles were replaced by stne castles was that ________.
A. stne castles ffered better defense
B. stne castles cst less mney
C. wden castles were uncmfrtable
D. wden castles tk a lng time t build
29. Which f the fllwing shwed an imprvement in castle defense?
A. Castles were ttally separated by stnes.
B. Arrw-slits were made in large quantities.
C. Rings f walls were built t defend the twers.
D. Windws and entrances were mved t the higher flr.
30. What is the best title f the passage?
