Read the passage and choose the best answer The Great Wall of China winds across the Chinese countryside for more than 6,500 kilometres east to west. It is one of the biggest structures ever made by humans. The ancient Chinese built the wall as a defence against invaders from the north. Its height ranges from 5 to 9 metres and its width is 5 to 8 metres. A wide pathway runs along the top and towers stand at regular intervals. Signal towers were used to send military information. Soldiers often used fires or lanterns to send their messages at night. Smoke signals were used during the day. The lower levels of the signal towers had rooms for the soldiers and stables for horses. Workers in the Chinese state of Chu began construction on a portion of the wall in the 600s BC. They made this wall to protect themselves from their enemies. From the 500s to the 300s BC, other states followed Chu’s example and began creating their own protective walls. Finally, in the 200s BC, the Chinese emperor Shi Huangdi began work to connect all the different walls throughout China. Over the centuries the wall was repaired several times. The wall’s use as a defensive barrier ended in 1644 with the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. Afterward some of the wall fell into disrepair, but in the 20 th century parts were rebuilt. The Great Wall is now regarded as a symbol of China 46. How long is the Great Wall of China? A. 5 to 8 meters B. More than 6,500 kilometres C. 5 to 9 meters D. 300 to 500 meters 47.
