Unit 1 Cultural relics Period 3 Learning about Language课后阅读训练Ⅰ. 阅读理解AGarden building is considered an important part of Chinese culture. Somepeople say that if you have never walked through a Chinese garden, you cannotsay that you have really visited China.Traditional Chinese gardens are located(位于)in North China in such places as Beihai Park, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City. In larger imperial gardens(御花园), the main buildings are connected by an imaginary(虚构的)line in the middle of the garden on the north-south axis(轴). Other features(特征)of imperial gardens are colored paintings, man-made hills and lakes.Most private gardens are found in the south, especially in cities south of the Yangtze River. Private gardens were mostly built at one side or at the back of the houses. Around the beautiful scene are small open areas with beautiful shaped doors through which visitors can enjoy the sights. They are open on all sides and are often near the water so that the whole scene can be enjoyed. Suzhou, known as the home of gardens, displays the most and the best Chinese traditional private gardens. Different parts of it are examples of the garden style of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.The landscape garden contains a number of pleasant natural scenes and some fairy tales. The ancient Chinese used to call the garden landscape“Jing”, which means“scene”in English. Good examples include the ten West Lake Scenes in Hangzhou, the twenty-four slim West Lake Scenes in Yangzhou and the eight Daming Lake Scenes in Jinan.【语篇概述】本文介绍了中国园林建筑的文化。

BThere are many types of tombs(坟墓)in Egypt. However, throughoutEgypt’s past, the tombs of kings and high officials, upper class artistsand craftsmen, and poor people were very different. For poor people, the typesof tombs they used stayed about the same, but the tombs of kings and highofficials changed a lot over time.At first, the kings of Egypt were buried in what are known as mastabas in southern Egypt, mainly at a place called Abydos. They had a pit(坑)where the dead were buried in the ground covered by stones above around. Later mastabas sometimes had many rooms below and above ground to store the items that the dead person wished to take with him or her into the afterlife.Later, during a period known as the Old Kingdom, the kings decided to be buried in a more northern location around the capital of Egypt. It was a city called the White Walls, but the Greeks called it Memphis. There were several cemeteries(墓地)around Memphis. The first was a place called Saqqara, where the earliest pyramids(金字塔)were located. These were not truepyramids, as they had stepped sides rather than being smooth.Later kings experimented with true pyramids at a place called Dashure, where they finally built the first true pyramid tomb. However, the largest and grandest pyramids were later built at a place called the Giza Plateau, which is now just outside of the modern city of Cairo, Egypt. However, there were a number of other locations where the kings of Egypt built pyramids, but almost all of them were built near Memphis in the north or only as far south as a place called the Fayoum.【语篇概述】本文向我们介绍了古埃及坟墓尤其是国王的坟墓的变化。
