文明的嘆息素養(yǎng)解讀150年前坐落在北京西郊的圓明園，在遭到侵略者的搶劫后，被縱火燃燒，大火連燒三天三夜，曾經(jīng)珍寶無數(shù)的“萬園之園”變成一片廢墟。2018年里幺勺熱內(nèi)盧擁有200年歷史的巴西國家博物館發(fā)生火災(zāi)，許多無價收藏品付之一炬，兩百年來的努力、調(diào)查和知識毀于一旦。人們的心在痛，因為這些文物象征著人類文明的傳承和延續(xù)。它們代表著古人的創(chuàng)造和思索，還有用無數(shù)彎路和悲劇累積的經(jīng)驗。它們用可觸及的現(xiàn)實存在，賦予歷史生命力。這是一筆不可估量的財富，也是太古時代以來人類一步一個腳印走出的通向我們的道路……人類區(qū)別于其他生物的核心競爭力，就在于人類可以積累和傳承文化。前人的成就，是后人的起點。任何人，無論是對自然資源還是物質(zhì)文明的破壞，都是對文明的褻瀆。保護(hù)世界遺產(chǎn)，刻不容緩。視角拓展FlamesofYuanmingyuan海詞積累imperialadj.帝國的;皇家的subsequentadj.隨后的refinev.改進(jìn);改善zodiacn.黃道帶palatialadj.宮殿般的;宏偉的scatterv.使分散;四散mazen.迷宮Renaissancen.文藝復(fù)）之lootv.搶劫;掠奪devastatev.毀滅attachimportanceto重視facilitiesn.設(shè)備;設(shè)施YuanmingyuanisanimperialgardeninBeijingconstructedbythe4thQingEmperorKangxi,in1707.Overthenext153years,subsequentQingemperorsenlargedandrefinedthegarden.The6thQingEmperorQianlong,evenabsorbedWesternstyleofpalacesinit.Hiscreationincludedawaterfountainwiththe12zodiacanimalsthatwouldsproutwateratdifferenthoursoftheday.YuanmingyuanwasconsideredasoneofthefinestexamplesofChinesegardenlandscape.Itconsistedofthreegardens,withQichunyuaninthefront,Yuanmingyuanontheleft,andChangchunyuanontheright.Thesouthernpartofthehugegardenwasoccupiedbypalatialbuildings,whereemperorshandledstateaffairs.Overtherestofthegardenwerescattered40scenicareasandeachconsistedofsmallerlandscapes.Thebest-knownWesternstructureswereafountain,amazeandEuropeanpalaces,allofwhichtookonaRenaissancestyle.TherewasamodelofVeniceinasmalllake.Theemperor'sapartmentsweredecoratedwitharttreasuresofanastonishingrichness.Thegardenwasbeautifiedbymillionsofforeignflowersandtrees.Unfortunately,YuanmingyuanwastragicallydestroyedbytheBritishandFrenchtroopsduringtheSecondOpiumWarin1860.OnOctober6,1860,theBritishandFrenchtroopsattackedandlootedYuanmingyuan.Afterthelooting,theysetfiretotheentirepalace.Itwassaidthatthefirelastedfor3daysandnights.MostoftheChinesestylebuildingsconstructedwithwoodweredestroyed.In1900,theEight-NationAllianceinvadedandoccupiedBeijing.Yuanmingyuanwasdevastatedagainandtheremainingtreasureswerelooted.DuringthelootingofYuanmingyuan,manyimperialtreasureswerestolenandtakenoutofChina.Amongthetreasuresstolenwerethe12bronzezodiacssculpturesthatgracedEmperorQianlong'sfountains.The12animalsrepresentedthe24hoursofeachday.Eachbronzestatuetookturnssprayingwaterfromitsmouthevery2hours.Now,sevenbronzeanimalstatueshavecomebacktoMainlandChina.Thebronzeheadsofanox,tiger,monkey,pig,andhorseareinacollectionatPolyArtMuseum.ThebronzeheadsofarabbitandaratareattheNationalMuseumofChina.ThebronzeheadofadragonissaidtobeinTaiwan.Theotherfourbronzeheadsofasnake,goat,rooster,anddogarestillmissing.AfterthefoundingofthePeople'sRepublicofChinain1949,theChinesegovernmentattachedgreatimportancetotheprotectionofYuanmingyuanruins.Aparkhasbeenestablishedonthesiteoftheruins.Thefacilitiesandlandscapingconstructionintheparkhavebeencontinuallyimproved.ReadingCheckWhatdoestheunderlinedworcTsprout"inparagraph1mostprobablymean?A.Dryup.B.Takein.C.Sendout.D.Divein.MostoftheChinesestylebuildingswereruinedbecause.A.theinvadershatedtheemperorB.thebuildingswerebuiltwithwoodC.thereweremanyimperialtreasuresinthemD.theinvaderswantedtodestroytheirevidenceWhatdoweknowaboutthebronzezodiacssculptures?A.Someofthemarestillmissing.B.Thereare24sculpturesintotal.C.Theysprayedwaterfromtheirmouthsevery2days.D.ThebronzeheadofarabbitcanbeseenatPolyArtMuseum.LanguageStudyDifficultsentenceHiscreationincludedawaterfountainwiththe12zodiacanimalsthatwouldsproutwateratdifferenthoursoftheday.他的官II意包括一個噴泉，里面有12只生肖動物，它們會在一天中不同的時間噴水。【點石成金】Hiscreationincludedawaterfountain是主句，withthe12zodiacanimals是介詞短t吾作定語，thatwouldsproutwateratdifferenthoursoftheday是限制性定語從句修飾animalSoReadingCheckC2.B3.ATheforgottencity——MachuPicchu被遺忘的馬丘比丘海詞積累terracen.梯田;階地slidev.滑;溜architecturen.建筑orientv.朝向abandonv.拋棄territoryn.令直土uninhabitedadj.無人居住的missionaryn.傳教士refugen.避難所assemblagev.聚集TheLostCityofMachuPicchuisamysteriouswonder.TheIncas（印力口人）builtacityofstonethere,withouttheaidofwheelsorirontools.ThisisthebestexampleofIncaengineering.Theybuiltmorethan600terracestopreventthecityfromslidingdownthemountain.Theydesignedawatersupplysystemwithalengthofabout1km.FortheIncasthearchitecturewasespeciallyimportant.Thetempleswhichwerebuiltaroundthecityareorientedtocatchtheraysoftherisingsun.TheslopesoftheroofsreflecttheHuainanPicchu,themountainthatemergesafterthem.However,MachuPicchuhaskeptitssecretswell,hidingforover400yearsitstruemeaningandpurpose.AbandonedinthesixteenthcenturyandinvadedbytheAndeanforest,itbecamealostplaceandwasforgottenevenbythepeoplewhobuiltit.Completeforcenturies,MachuPicchuisawindowtothepast,throughwhichwecanknowwhobuiltit—theIncas,anancientcivilizationthatcreatedthemostpowerfulempireinSouthAmerica.Forcenturies,MachuPicchuwashiddentotheworld.TheSpanishconquerorneverfounditandtheIncaswhoknewthelocationofMachuPicchueventuallyforgotit.WhenHiramBinghamarrivedintheterritoryoccupiedbytheArchaeologicalParkofMachuPicchu,itwasuninhabitedatleastsincethefifteenthcentury.ItisunlikelythatBinghamwasthefirsto
