Today, one can trace Venice’s rich past from its buildings.Most cities can claim at least a handful of outstanding churches, palaces or houses of historical interest, but in Venice very nearly everything is remarkable, from the magnificent Piazza San Marco (St.Mark’s Square) and the palaces that line the Grand Canal to the centuries­old homes of simple fishermen.It would be easy to say that the city itself is an enormous museum if it were not for the fact it is so obviously alive.

“What better place is there for the meeting of dear friends? See how it glows with the advancing summer; how the sky and the sea and the rosy air and the marble of the palaces all glimmer and melt together.” Thus wrote the famous author Henry James, of Venice, which provided the setting for his story The Aspern Papers, in the nineteenth century.The Splendor of Venice has captured the imagination of artists for centuries—and not just of the great painters and novelists.How tragic now that she is faced with the double threat of man and nature.Venice indeed will be lucky to survive.

()1.Venice proudly boasts ________.

A．its beautiful churches, palaces and houses

B．its unique St.Mark’s Square and the Grand Canal

C．its picturesque waterscape
