人教版九年级英语（素材）Unit8HOWWASSTONEHENGEBUILTHOW WAS STONEHENGE BUILT?The fact that Stonehenge was not built overnight does not in any way diminish the scale of the undertaking. But how could this have been achieved by a Neolithic society? Given the sheer size and weight of the stones, what ingenious devices were employed? And what of the stones?They are not typical of the local geology- indeed, the source of the bluestones, the first stones erected, has now been traced tothe Preseli Mountains of south-west Wales. Somehow these enormous stones were transported to the Salisbury Plains. The stones were surely too heavy for timber rollers. Perhaps they were transported on sledges, on greased tracks of wood, pulled by rope that had been made from the plant fibre of the indigenous lime bark soaked in water for weeks. Modern engineering simulations have surmised that the massive uprights were hauled into place then tipped, using stone counterweights, into position, demonstrating an understanding of the centre of gravity.The technology was staggering. For example, even though the ground is slightly sloping, the lintels are perfectly horizontal. The craftsmen employed carpentry techniques - the lintels were dressed with mortises that would have fitted securely on to the tenons on top of the supporting sarsens, while tongues similar to toggle joints linked each lintel in the outer circle to its neighbour. It was in effect an enormous three dimensional stone puzzle.To get the 9 ton lintels into place, the most likely method of construction may have been via the use of an earth ramp piledup against the uprights. The lintels would then have been hauled up the ramp by ropes into their exact position.Whatever the methods used, for we are still not certain, they demonstrate an astounding level of both achievement and ambition.WHY WAS STONEHENGE BUILT?As to the purpose of Stonehenge, again we can only surmise. But clearly, the very scale of this unique megalithic structure suggests that the area itself was of importance. But for what?Was Stonehenge a temple to the gods? Who were the gods? It is tempting to assign the giant sarsen stones to astrological alignement. The danger here is that you can find an alignement to almost anything if you search hard enough.But one presents itself immediately - Stonehenge is aligned northeast-southwest, and it has been suggested that particular significance was placed by its builders on the solstice and equinox points, so for example on a midsummer's morning, the sun rose close to the Heel Stone, and the sun's first rays went directly into the centre of the monument between the arms of the horseshoe arrangement. It is unlikely that such an alignment can have been merely accidental.[.Com]Or is this too simple? Turning 180 degrees, another alignment becomes apparent…..at the precise moment of the winter solstice, the sun sets exactly between the largest sarsen stones.To validate this, we must look at the society of the time. It had become a society now dependent on the seasons, which determined the success of agriculture. Would mid-winter have been more important to a society that had now becomedependent upon the fortunes of these seasons? Psychologically, mid-winter would have been more of a critical turning point than the balmy days of summer.Perhaps therefore it is a mistake to overstate the monument’s spiritual significance. Certainly the area had been of importance prior to its construction, but it had become more than that - Stonehenge was a clock, a clock that foretold the time not only ofthe solstices but perhaps also of sun and lunar eclipses. This is not to say, however, that the priests did not utilise this very functionalism for religious importance - he or she who could announce or predict the return of the growing season would have wielded great power.WHEN WAS STONEHENGE BUILT?[.Com]Archaeologists have now been able to establish when the construction ofStonehenge began.Between 3100 and 2800 BC the Great Cursus 300 yards from Stonehenge had been constructed - nearly one and a half miles long and 150 yards wide, on an east-west alignment. This was a ditch hewn in the chalk 6 feet deep and wide, and would have appeared brilliant white in the green of what had now become pastureland. Was this used for chariot racing by the ancient Britains, from 'cursus', the Latin term for race course? Or was it a processional way, a path for the dead? The placing of burial mounds, known as the Cursus Barrows, on their edges may support this view.Around 2700 BC, the henge was constructed. Using only picks made of deer antlers, a ditch about 6 feet deep was dug. The spoil from the ditch was used to make the bank on the inside. On the north-east of the henge, an entrance was created by agap in the ditch and bank. Within the bank, a circle of fifty six pits known as the Aubrey holes were dug.Over the next 200 years, between 2700 and 2500 BC, a large number of wooden posts were erected. The ones at the north-eastern entrance may have served as markers for astronomical measurements, in particular the extremes of the moonrise and moonset. Other scholars feel these may have guided people through narrow paths to the ceremonial centre, adding a mystique to the entry. When looked at from the centre of the monument, we can see that the entrance stakes line up - these small posts are six rows deep. The four larger posts furthest away are located in what was later to become the Avenue leading to the north-east. They were perhaps 1m in diameter, possibly whole tree trunks.From about 2500 BC onwards, the first stones arrived. The bluestones were erected and the Avenue, a grand-scale earthwork monument sweeping nearly 2 miles from the River Avon to the north-eastern。

九年级英语人教版上册素材：Unit 8 文化背景资料
巨石阵（Stonehenge）
巨石阵的英文名称为Stonehenge，其中henge意指“围栏”。
巨石阵是在英格兰发现的一种圆形构筑物，周围有埂和沟。
顾名思义，巨石阵是一组表面粗糙的排成圆圈的巨大石柱群。
它位于英格兰西南部威尔特郡的索尔兹伯里平原上，约建于公元前3000年~公元前1500年。
巨石阵周围环绕着直约100米的环状沟（土墙圈）。
组成巨石阵周围圆圈的石头为砂岩，每块都高出地面4米，平均重约25吨。
巨石圆圈直径约为30米，里面还有数十块重达3.5吨的蓝砂岩组成的小圈。
圈内有重达30多吨的巨石牌坊，有的石柱高达高6.5米。
巨石阵还有索尔兹伯里石环、环状列石、太阳神庙、史前石桌、斯通亨治石栏、斯托肯立石圈等名称。
当今人们还没有真正破解巨石阵建造的时间、目的及方法，只是通过考古发现的线索进行了各种可能的推测。
也正是如此，巨石阵被称为英伦三岛乃至世界最著名、最神秘的史前遗迹之一。
在英国人心目中，这是一个神圣的地方——这些巨石虽静静排列，但却具有无与论比的魅力，这们能给人带来神奇力量，还仿佛在向现代人诉说着远古的故事。
1986年，巨石阵和相关遗址被列为世界文化遗产。

I know little about it, either. Let’s take the magic bus to visit Stonehenge and find out the answer together, ok?
Stonehenge-can anyone explain why it is there?
Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However,historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial place or a place to honor ancestors. Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,”says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working —and great planners!”
