PASSAGE ONE
A millennium ago, stepwells were fundamental to life in the driest parts of India. Richard
Cox travelled to north-western India to document these spectacular monuments from a bygone
era.
During the sixth and seventh centuries, the inhabitants of the modern-day states of Gujarat
and Rajasthan in north-western India developed a method of gaining access to clean, fresh
groundwater during the dry season for drinking, bathing, watering animals and irrigation.
However, the significance of this invention – the stepwell – goes beyond its utilitarian
application.
Unique to this region, stepwells are often architecturally complex and vary widely in size and
shape. During their heyday, they were places of gathering, of leisure and relaxation and of
worship for villagers of all but the lowest classes. Most stepwells are found dotted round the
desert areas of Gujarat (where they are called vav) and Rajasthan (where they are called baori),
while a few also survive in Delhi. Some were located in or near villages as public spaces for the
community; others were positioned beside roads as resting places for travelers.
As their name suggests, stepwells comprise a series of stone steps descending from ground
level to the water source (normally an underground aquifer) as it recedes following the rains.
When the water level was high, the user needed only to descend a few steps to reach it; when it
was low, several levels would have to be negotiated.
Some wells are vast, open craters with hundreds of steps paving each sloping side, often in
第 5 页共 7 页
tiers. Others are more elaborate, with long stepped passages leading to the water via several
storeys. Built from stone and supported by pillars, they also included pavilions that sheltered
visitors from the relentless heat. But perhaps the most impressive features are the intricate
decorative sculptures that embellish many stepwells, showing activities from fighting and
dancing to everyday acts such as women combing their hair or churning butter.
Down the centuries, thousands of wells were constructed throughout north-western India,
but the majority have now fallen into disuse; many are derelict and dry, as groundwater has been
diverted for industrial use and the wells no longer reach the water table. Their condition hasn’t
been helped by recent dry spells: southern Rajasthan suffered an eight-year drought between
1996 and 2004.However, some important sites in Gujarat have recently undergone major
restoration, and the state government announced in June last year that it plans to restore the
stepwells throughout the state. In Patan, the state’s ancient capital, the stepwell of Rani Ki Vav
(Queen’s Stepwell) is perhaps the finest current example. It was built by Queen Udayamati
during the late 11th century, but became silted up following a flood during the 13th century. But
the Archaeological Survey of India began restoring it in the 1960s, and today it is in pristine
condition. At 65 metres long, 20 metres wide and 27 metres deep, Rani Ki Vav features 500
sculptures carved into niches throughout the monument. Incredibly, in January 2001, this ancient
structure survived an earthquake that measured 7.6 on the Richter scale.
Another example is the Surya Kund in Modhera, northern Gujarat, next to the Sun Temple,
built by King Bhima I in 1026 to honour the sun god Surya. It actually resembles a tank (kund
means reservoir or pond) rather than a well, but displays the hallmarks of stepwell architecture,
including four sides of steps that descend to the bottom in a stunning geometrical formation. The
terraces house 108 small, intricately carved shrines between the sets of steps. Rajasthan also has
a wealth of wells. The ancient city of Bundi, 200 kilometres south of Jaipur, is renowned for its
architecture, including its stepwells.
One of the larger examples is Raniji Ki Baori, which was built by the queen of the region,
Nathavatji, in 1699. At 46 metres deep, 20 metres wide and 40 metres long, the intricately carved
monument is one of 21 baoris commissioned in the Bundi area by Nathavatji.In the old ruined
town of Abhaneri, about 95 kilometres east of Jaipur, is Chand Baori, one of India’s oldest and
deepest wells; aesthetically it’s perhaps one of the most dramatic. Built in around 850 AD next to
the temple of Harshat Mata, the Baori comprises hundreds of zigzagging steps that run along
three of its sides, steeply descending 11 storeys, resulting in a striking pattern when seen from
afar. On the fourth side, verandas which are supported by ornate pillars overlook thesteps. Still in
public use is Neemrana Ki Baori, located just off the Jaipur–Delhi highway. Constructed in
around 1700, it is nine storeys deep, with the last two being underwater. At ground level, there
are 86 colonnaded openings from where the visitor descends 170 steps to the deepest water
source. Today, following years of neglect, many of these monuments to medieval engineering
have been saved by the Archaeological Survey of India, which has recognized the importance of
第 6 页共 7 页
preserving them as part of the country’s rich history. Tourists flock to wells in far-flung corners
of north-western India to gaze in wonder at these architectural marvels from hundreds of years
ago, which serve as a reminder of both the ingenuity and artistry of ancient civilizations and of
the value of water to human existence.

PASSAGE FOUR
Man’s youth is a wonderful thing: it is so full of anguish and of magic and he never comes
to know it as it is, until it has gone from him forever. It is the thing he cannot bear to lose, it is
the thing whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret, it is the thing whose loss
with a sad and secret joy, the thing he would never willingly relive again, could it be restored to
him by any magic.
Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so
evident as in our youth. And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which
we feel so poignant, so unutterable, with such a bitter pain and joy, when we are young? It is this:
第 7 页共 7 页
that being rich, we are so poor; that being mighty, we can yet have nothing; that seeing, breathing,
smelling, tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth, feeling with an
intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life – the most fortunate, wealthy,
good, and happy life that any man has ever known – is ours – is ours at once, immediately and
forever, the moment that we choose to take a step, or stretch a hand, or say a word- we yet know
that we can really keep, hold, take, and possess forever- nothing. All passes; nothing lasts: the
moment that we put our hand upon it , it melts away like smoke, is gone forever, and the snake is
eating at our heart again; we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.
A young man is so strong, so mad, so certain, and so lost. He has everything and he is able
to use nothing. He hurls the great shoulder of his strength forever against phantasmal barriers, he
is a wave whose power explodes in lost mid – oceans under timeless skies, here-aches out to grip
a fume of painted smoke, he wants all, feels the thirst and power for everything, and finally gets
nothing. In the end, he is destroyed by his own strength, devoured by his own hunger,
impoverished by his own wealth. Thoughtless of money or the accumulation of material
possessions, he is none the less defeated in the end by his own greed a greed that makes the
avarice of King Midas seem paltry by comparison.
And that is the reason why, when youth is gone, every man will look back upon that period
of his life with infinite sorrow and regret. It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man who knows
that once he had a great talent and wasted it, of a man who knows that once he had a great
treasure and got nothing from it, of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything
and never used it.
D. Summary Writing
Directions: Summarize the main ideas of the passage in Chinese with at most 120 words.
