Unit 1 Cultural relics备课素材I. What is a culture relic? 何谓“文化遗产”?Cultural relics are physical reminders of what different peoples valued in the past and continue to value now. Without these relics, we could not cherish cultural traditions as much or appreciate the lives of the people who practiced those traditions. Although we may not often consider it, cultural relics are not only the possession of one culture. In a larger sense, it can be said that they belong to all peoples. For these reasons, this unit describes cultural relics not from China but other places. Looking at it from another angle, it can also be said that cultural relics preserves some aspect of cultural heritage and each relic, regardless of whether the same hands created many examples of it, is still a unique cultural expression and contribution.2. The cultural relics of China in the world heritage site list《世界文化遗产名录》中的30处中国文化遗产本单元的主题是“文化遗产”，学生很可能已经亲身接触过当地的文化遗产，或是能过电视、报纸等媒体对此有了一定的了解，因此，在课前教师可让学生列举国内外著名的文化遗产，然后对“文化遗产”给出定义、分类或划分标准。

Book 2Unit 1Cultural relicsⅠ.阅读理解话题：文娱难度星级：☆(2018·河北保定二模)Watching wooden dolls come to life may not be one of the most popular forms of entertainment today，but with over twenty years’ experience，talented puppeteer(木偶表演者) Peter Roberts has earned himself the title “master puppeteer” because of his great ability to turn puppets into believable，almost living characters.“People are quite often surprised to hear what I do for living and have little appreciation of puppetry as a form of entertainment.But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown，it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre，” he explains.Roberts’ shows are highly original.“A puppet show can involve anything from clowning(插科打诨) to storytelling，” he says.Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for.“Some are attracted by the puppets themselves，while others enjoy the dialogue.” Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.Roberts’interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas.He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets.Learning mostly from books and personal experience，he explains，“I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows，so I hardly noticed the change from students to full­time professional puppeteers.”The puppets are designed specifically for each show，which is extremely time­consuming.According to Roberts，“Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things.I’ve made some of my best puppets accidentally.”When most people hear the word “puppetry”，they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties.Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be light­hearted rather than serious.However，Roberts wants to point out that puppet theatre can often be used as an effective educational tool.“Through the mouths of puppets come serious messages sometimes，” he says.语篇解读本文为记叙文，讲述了虽然木偶表演栩栩如生，但已不是当今一种最流行的娱乐形式。

Book2 Unit1 Cultural relicsIN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM寻找琥珀屋Frederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which wasgiven this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make.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 ,是因为造这间房子用了近几吨琥珀 ,被选择的琥珀色彩艳丽 ,呈黄褐色 ,像蜜一样。

屋子的设计当时流行的极富艺术表现力的建筑风格。

琥珀屋这件珍品还镶嵌著黄金和珠宝 ,全国最优秀的艺术家用了是年的时间才完成它。

In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. Aboutfour metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.事实上 ,琥珀屋并不是作为礼物而建造的。
