1.B 2.B 3.A 4.B 【解析】 【原文】 Historians are warning that some ancient British structures are being threatened by climate change. One of the most affected places is around the Orkney Islands, which are off the northern coast of Scotland. The area is home to more than 3,000 historical places. But, the islands have been seriously affected by severe weather events in recent years. Some structures on the islands were built during the Iron Age, Viking rule and the Middle Ages. Experts say that about 1,000 historical sites are under threat. One of them is the Iron Age building South Howe Broch on the island of Rousay. Now, its main wall has started falling into the sea. Julie Gibson is with the University of the Highlands and Islands. She fears the whole structure will one day completely disappear. A few hundred meters away from South Howe Broch is Midhowe Broch. This Iron Age building is still in good condition because it has been protected by a sea wall built in the 1930s. But experts say even this site faces risks if climate conditions continue to worsen. It is reported that the average rainfall has risen 27 percent in Scotland since the early 1960s. This increases the chances of water entering deeply into structures and causing damage. Over time, such damage can cause structural collapse.
