Ⅰ．阅读理解

(2022·日照二模)Located off the coast of Croatia, in the Adriatic Sea, Baljenac is a tiny island covered by a series of dry­stone walls that make it look like a giant fingerprint when seen from above．

The oval­shaped island of Baljenac is covered by a 23­kilometre­long network of dry­stone walls．You'd think it was an ancient labyrinth (迷宫), if not for the fact that the walls are about waist high and designed only to make agriculture easier in an unfriendly place．The rocky land and strong winds aren't exactly perfect for the growth of plants, so the natives of the nearby island of Kaprije built these stone walls to separate their crops and offer them some protection．It's a technique used in other parts of Europe, like England or Ireland, but nowhere else do these walls copy the pattern of a human fingerprint as they do on Baljenac Island．

The uninhabited island has a surface of only 0.14 square kilometres but features 23 kilometres of walls created simply by piling rocks on top of each other．The same type of walls are used on Kaprije and Zut, but Baljenac has by far the highest concentration by surface area．

Most of the stone wall network is believed to have been built during the 19th century, but both Baljenac and Kaprije served as safe shelters for some people during the 16th and 17th centuries, so some parts of the wall could be even older．

Ever since aerial photos of Baljenac started spreading on the Internet, the popularity of the fingerprint island has grown considerably．Although locals welcome visitors, some worry about the damage suffered by the walls at the hands of ill­mannered tourists．

The Croatian government has requested that UNESCO include this island in its list of world heritage sites, which will not only boost its popularity even more but also guarantee Baljenac higher protection from the local authorities．

A．The strong winds from the sea．

B．The lack of protection from UNESCO．
