Ⅱ. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）
The Yellow Crane Tower is one of the most ancient towers in China. It stands proudly on the bank of the Yangtze River in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province. The first tower was built during the Three Kingdoms period, about 1, 800 years ago. Since then, it has been pulled down and rebuilt many times because of wars and fires. Each new tower told a slightly different story of the same place.
Today’s tower was rebuilt in 1985. It is 51 metres tall and is made of wood and stone. There are five storeys inside, each painted in bright red and gold. Visitors can climb up by stairs, or take the lift to save time and energy. Old paintings, calligraphy works and lines of ancient poems can be found on every floor. From the top, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the river, the bridges and the modern skyline of the city, especially when the sun goes down.
The Yellow Crane Tower is one of the symbols of Chinese culture. Every year, millions of visitors come here to learn about its stories. Many famous poets, including Li Bai and Cui Hao, wrote beautiful poems about it. Cui Hao’s poem is often considered the best of all Tang Dynasty poems about this tower, and it is still taught in Chinese schools today. For people in Wuhan, the tower is not just a place from history books; it is also a beloved part of their daily lives.
