Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors Section Ⅰ Warming Up &amp；Reading-Pre-readingIt has long been known the ancient Egyptian rulers, or pharaohs (法老), were buried with great ceremony and lavish (大量的) treasures that were to be used in the other world.Unfortunately, until 1922 no remains of any of the pharaohs or their treasures had ever been found. In that year, however, an archaeologist named Howard Carter and his sponsor, Lord Carnavon, were at last successful. They found the tomb of King Tutankhamen, who was buried 3,200 years ago. King Tut's tomb was the first fully preserved burial site to be uncovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. The two men found the tomb to contain wonderful treasures. Gold figures and magnificent furniture decorated with gold were found in the myriad (许多) of secret rooms and tunnels within the pyramid.The only disappointment for Howard Carter came when he found that King Tut's body was nothing but dust. Apparently a mistake had been made when the king's remains were mummified (使成木乃伊). Carter did, however, find 143pieces of jewelry within the mummy case, mostly made of gold and precious stones.Actually, despite all the publicity about the remarkable finds in his tomb, Tutankhamen's reign (统治时期) as pharaoh was short and relatively uneventful (太平的). He died when he was just 18 years old.Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading —Pre­reading[原文呈现][读文清障]A VISIT TO THE ZHOUKOUDIAN CAVESAgroupofstudents(S) fromEnglandhascometotheZhoukoudiancaves foravisit.

Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors(Notes to the texts)1 Think about what we do and use nowadays, then try a tentative guess about what the Peking Man might have done and used thousands of years ago. 想想我们今天所做之事和所用之物, 试着猜猜几千年前“北京人”可能做的事情和用的东西。

Peking Man“北京人”, 中国华北地区旧石器时代早期的人类化石。

属直立人。

北京人遗址于1921年被发现, 位置在北京市房山区周口店镇龙骨山北侧。

北京人的年代距今约70万至20万年。

“北京人”的发现为研究人类早期的生物学演化及早期文化的发展提供了实物依据。
