Unit 1 Cultural relics Section Ⅰ Warming amp；Reading Pre-reading

Every year, the World Heritage Committee chooses natural and cultural places around the world that have

global (全球的) importance. They name these places World Heritage Sites. When a place becomes a World Heritage Site, it can receive money from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to help protect it. But even when a place is an official World Heritage Site, it can still be at risk. Every year, the World Heritage Committee looks at World Heritage Sites that could be in danger. From these, they decide which places they will put on their official List of World Heritage in Danger. There are many reasons a World Heritage Site becomes endangered. For example, places can become endangered through natural ecological

(生态的) damage. Over time, wind and water can break down

natural areas. Another risk to natural areas around the world is climatechange

(气候变化). For example, rising temperatures affect the Sagarmatha National Park. In the park stands Mount Everest, the world's tallest

1

mountain. Beautiful ice glaciers on the topof the mountain are now melting. It also affects the local plants and animals. Much of the risk to World Heritage Sites comes from

human acts. Abu Mena is an ancient Christian city in Egypt. It is a historical site made of many old stone buildings. Abu Mena was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1979. Recent farming projects in the area caused underground water levels to rise. This makes the ground unstable (不稳定的). Some of the buildings of Abu Mena fell. The Egyptian government put sand at the base of

some of the buildings. But the site is still in danger. Section_Ⅰ

寻找琥珀屋

[第1～2段译文] 普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋，它之所以有这个名字，是因为建造它用了好几吨的琥珀。选出来的琥珀色彩漂亮，呈现蜂蜜一样的黄褐色。琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的奇特的建筑式样。它也是一件用金银珠宝装饰起来的珍品。一批这个国家最优秀的艺术家用了大约10年的时间才把它完成。

事实上，这个琥珀屋并不是作为礼物来建造的。它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿而设计(制作)的。然而，下一位普鲁士国王，腓特烈·威廉一世，这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。在1716年，他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为回赠，沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。这样，琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。这间琥珀屋长约4米，被用作接待重要来宾的小型会客室。

[第3～5段译文] 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宫殿中。她叫她的工匠增添了更多精细的装饰。1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间，里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。可悲的是，尽管琥珀屋被认为是世界上的奇迹之一，可是现在它却消失了。

1941年9月，纳粹德国的军队逼近圣彼得堡。这是在两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子到达夏宫之前，俄罗斯人能够把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小件艺术品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子偷偷地运走了。在不到两天的时间里，10万个部件被装进了27个木箱。毫无疑问，这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡，当时在波罗的海海边的一个德国城市。从那以后，琥珀屋发生了什么仍然是一个谜。

5

近来，俄罗斯人和德国人已经在夏宫建起了一个新的琥珀屋。通过研究琥珀屋原来的照片，他们建造的新琥珀屋看起来和旧的很像。2003年，圣彼得堡人民就用它来庆祝该市建成300周年。

Jamie Oliver, a lively British guy, loves to share his secrets. In his first television show, TheNakedChef, Oliver taught everyone to make simple but delicious food. In Jamie'sKitchen, he taught young people how to prepare meals. His next show, Jamie'sSchoolDinners, is about changing the food that students eat. Oliver saw that some schools in Britain were serving junk food — food that is easy to eat but unhealthy. Although it can be delicious, junk food is not very good for children. It is sometimes bad for their health, because it doesn't give them the energy they need at school. They sometimes can't think well or feel down, and they sometimes put on weight. Some of the junk food that Oliver wants to change is canned spaghetti, chicken

nuggets, French fries, soda, and muffins. He encourages schools to serve fresh and healthy meats, vegetables, and fruits. He helps the school cooks to make healthy dinners without junk food.

website, he collected over 270,000 signatures (签名) from people.Oliver sent these signatures to British Prime Minister (首相) Tony Blair.

The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

The Hawaii Volcanoes (火山) National Park, on the island of Hawaii, has two active volcanoes: Mauna Loa, which last erupted (喷发) in 1984, is 13,677 feet (4.17 km) above sea level; Kilauea is next to Mauna Loa and it has been erupting since January 3rd, 1983. It is 4,190 feet (1.23 km) above sea level. When to visit

The park is open 24 hours a day all year round. There are no plants or trees on the lava (火山岩) fields and no protection from the sun, so you must bring sunscreen (防晒霜)．

How to get there

The best way to get to the park is to take Highway 11. From the airport at Hilo, Highway 11 will take you southward across the eastern part of the island.

Things to see

If you want to know more about the park, the Kilauea Visitor Center is surely a stop to make. It is a quarter of a mile (402 m) from the park entrance. There, you can see a great movie about real lava and learn about the island's natural and cultural history. The center is open from 7：45 a．m. to 5：00 p．m. There are also many guided walks and hikes (徒步旅行) around the park. You must check weather conditions and volcanic activity before hiking alone. If possible, you may drive down Chain of Craters Road to see lava flowing into the ocean. Tickets

Entrance to the park is $10.00 for each vehicle, $5.00 for those who travel on foot or ride a bicycle. Children under the age of 15 are free. 语篇解读：本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了游览夏威夷火山国家公园的一些相关事宜。

The Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and the finest example of the late style of Indian architecture (建筑). It is at Agra in northern India. It lies beside the River Jumma in the middle of gardens with quiet pools. The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor (皇帝) Shah Jehan, who ruled India in the seventeenth century. It is in memory of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631. The building, which was completed between 1632 and 1638, was designed by a local Muslim architect (建筑师), Ustad Ahmad Lahori. The whole building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643. The

12

Taj Mahal stands at one end of the garden tomb with marble (大理石) path. The room is softly lighted by the light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls. The building now is kept in good condition. It took 22 years to build the Taj Mahal. Shah Jehan planned a similar building, but in black instead of white, to lie on the other side of the river. But before it could be built, Shah Jehan was imprisoned (监禁) by his son and buried next to his wife in the Taj Mahal. 语篇解读：本文主要讲述了泰姬陵的一些信息。
