三、Reading Comprehension：10%

Great Meteoron, a monastery in Greek, was probably the prototype of the flying castle in this film Hayao Miyazaki’s animated feature “Laputa-Castle in the Sky.” The name of this place Meteora came from that of the monastery. Meteoron means “hollow,” built in the 14

century. It was located in a very giant stone (with the height of 616 meters above the sea level). The giant seems like the bridge connected to the heaven and the ground.

Until now all everyday necessities have been transported through ropes. It means that there is no road to the monastery. Thus, it provides a perfect site for monks to come close to God. This place Meteoron is located in a valley through which a river went. This river etched the ground, creating a very beautiful landscape.

This film depicts the floating island, Laputa Empire, once mentioned in Gulliver’s Travels. This film was based

on the story in which human beings developed high-tech flying machinery to a very high extent. They created a lot

of high-tech flying castles and forts. But of some unknown reason, the flying city and forts were destroyed, falling

down to the ground. Some people alive in this unknown disaster came back to the ground and saw it as their

home, while others still lived in a flying castle called Laputa, the only existing one in the sky after the disaster. It

was hidden in the cloud where very strong storms arose. The film started with a flying boat on which there were a

lot of passengers. Among them a girl, Sheeta, owned a blue crystal flying stone coming from her family. It was

said that the stone had a very strong power. Pirates taking flying boats attacked this boat and she fell down to the

ground with a flying stone in a necklace. A young boy working as a miner called Pazu found a girl falling down

from the sky. He took her home. Pirates and the army in the government tried to find the whereabouts of Laputa

through the guidance of the flying stone. These two groups of people pursued her. In the process of being exiled,

Pazu helped her go through these difficulties. Finally, an evil man Muska deprived Sheeta for her flying stone,

controlling everything in the floating island. As Muska wanted to kill them, they got this stone again. At this

moment they cast a spell and the floating castle started to blow up. Fortunately, the giant tree making up the

floating castle helped it escape being destroyed. As Sheeta uttered, “Without land, people can’t live,” human

beings cannot live without nature. She pointed out why the flying castle was intended to have been destroyed.
