必修2 Unit 1 Cultural relics
Pyramids in Egypt 埃及金字塔 The kings of ancient Egypt planned strong tombs to keep their bodies safe after death and to hold their treasures. Over the tombs, huge stone pyramids were built. There are over 80 known pyramids in Egypt, but the Great Pyramid of Khufu is the largest of all. In fact, all the pyramids along the Nile are usually on its west bank. The ancient Egyptians compared the rising of the sun to the beginning of life and the tting of the sun to the end of life. This is why their dead bodies were buried on the west bank of the Nile. It’s very hard to imagine just how big the Great Pyramid of Khufu is. It has over 2, 300, 000 blocks of solid stone. The huge stone blocks weigh an average of two and a half tons each, as heavy as a big car. Some even weigh 15 tons. Without machinery, the ancient Egyptians cut, moved and lifted each of the stones. Many of the blocks came from the east bank of the Nile, and they were taken across the river in boats at floodtime. It took more than 100, 000 slaves 20 years to build the Great Pyramid of Khufu. 【外刊概要】 本文主要介绍了埃及金字塔的有关情况。古埃及国王为了死后能使自己的尸体保存完好和藏匿珠宝, 修建了金字塔。在埃及, 有80多座金字塔。所有的金字塔通常都排列在尼罗河西岸, 因为古埃及人把太阳的升起比作生命的开始, 把太阳的降落比作生命的终结。很难想象胡夫金字塔由230万块石头构成, 每块石头平均重达两吨半, 有的甚至重达15吨。没有现代机械, 这简直是一个奇迹。 | 主题语境 文化遗产 课标话题 人与社会 思维品质 通过阅读本篇短文, 让学生了解埃及金字塔的有关情况, 激发学生对世界文化遗产的好奇心和兴趣, 培养他们保护世界文化遗产的思想意识, 使他们养成爱护自然、尊崇文化、敬畏先人的道德情操。 对接教材 必修2 Unit 1 Cultural relics 选修8 Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors |
