B, C, or D) which you think fits best according to the text. Write the appropriate letters in the boxes under the
questions. An example (0) has already been given for you.
The Statue of Zeus at
Olympia
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia is one of the classical Seven Wonders
of the Ancient World.
That was the statue of god in whose honour the
Ancient Olympic Games were held. It was located on the land that gave its very name to the Olympics. The
ancient Greek calendar started
in 776 BC, for the Olympic Games started that year. The Temple of Zeus
was designed by the architect
Libon and was built around 450 BC. Under the growing power of Ancient Greece, the simple temple seemed too dull
and modifications were needed. The solution: a majestic statue. The Athenian sculptor Pheidias was assigned
for the 'sacred' task.
The seated statue occupied the whole width of the
temple where it was housed and was 40 feet (12 metres) tall. Zeus was
a sculpture, made of ivory and accented with gold plating.
He was seated on a magnificent throne of cedar wood, inlaid with ivory, gold,
ebony, and precious stones. In Zeus' right
hand there was a small statue of Nike, the goddess of victory, and in his left hand, a shining sceptre
on which an eagle perched.
The circumstances of its eventual destruction are
a source of debate: some scholars argue that it perished with the temple in the 5th century AD,
others argue that it was carried to Constantinople,
where it was destroyed by a severe fire.
Today nothing remains at the site of the old
temple except rocks and debris, the foundation of the building, and fallen columns.

A majestic
landmark which dominates the capital city's skyline just as it has
dominatedScotland's long and colourful history, Edinburgh Castle is the best-known and most of ten
visited of the country's historic buildings. Perched on an extinct volcano and offering
stunning views, this instantly recognizable fortress is a powerful National symbol, and a
part of Edinburgh's world heritage site.__________________________________________
11.___________________________________________________________________
The castle's story is that of Scotland. 'The stronghold of Eidyn'
was first recorded before 600 AD and by the Middle Ages it has become a
mighty fortification and the royal residence
of Scotland's
kings and queens. Since the Bronze Age it has witnessed much of the nation's rich past including the birth of Mary
Queen of Scots` the only child - James VI, who united the crowns of
Scotland and England - to Cromwell`s Roundheads and the Jacobite Risings.
12.______________________ ;____________________________________________
A rich mix of architectural styles reflects the castle's complex history
and role as both the stronghold and the seat of kings. The tiny St Margaret's
Chapel, the Edinburgh's oldest building, dates from the 1100s; Crown
Square, the principal courtyard, was developed in the 15ti: century; the Great Hall with its impressive
hammer beam roof was built by James IV, the Half Moon Battery was created in
the late 16th century; and the Scottish National War Memorial was added later, after the
World War I,
13.
For visitors today, the Castle offers a wealth of attractions to
explore. These include: the magnificent Laich
Hall; the National War Memorial: the Vaults where the prisoners of war were held in the 18th and 19th
centuries; the 'Honours of the Kingdom' exhibition telling the story of Scotland's Crown Jewels - saved from Cromwell to
become some of the oldest surviving regalia in Europe; the Stone of
Destiny - taken to Westminster Abbey in 1296 and returned to Scotland 700 years
later; the One O'clock Gun and a display on the history of time guns and timekeeping; and the giant medieval siege
cannon Mons Meg, once again standing
proudly on the castle ramparts.
14..__________________________________________________________________
Castle stewards provide guided tours and there is also an audio tour in
six languages. As well as gift and bookshops,
the Crown Jewel's shop offers exclusive, specially designed jewellery for sale. Visitors can take a break in the Castle cafe.
