1、必修2 Unit 1 Cultural relicsPart 1: ReadingIN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOMFrederick 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 was given this name because several tons of amb

2、er 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.In fact,

3、 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 th

4、e Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add

5、more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing.In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St

6、Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces

7、were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at

8、 the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, they have made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.Part 2:詞匯分類重點(diǎn)單詞1valuable adj.貴重的；有價(jià)值的_ n價(jià)值 v估價(jià)_ adj.無價(jià)值的；不值錢的2survive vi.幸

20、t gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. 考點(diǎn): 本句中 could never have imagined為情態(tài)動詞表推測的用法。(情態(tài)動詞 + have + 動詞過去分詞)(1) He knew little about Japanese, so he _ _ _ it. 他對日語一無所知，因此他不可能學(xué)過。(2) The light is out.

25、60;   非限制性定語從句與先行詞關(guān)系不十分密切,只是對其作一些附加說明,不起限定制約作用。如果將非限制性定語從句省去,主句的意義仍然完整。二、外在表現(xiàn)形式不同    限制性定語從句不可用逗號與主句分隔開，而非限制性定語從句一般都有一個(gè)逗號與主句分隔開。    e.g. Do you remember the girl _ taught us English?    Clock is a kind of instrument _ can tell people time. 

26、   This is the place _ he used to live.    Mr. Zhang, _ came to see me yesterday, is an old friend of mine.    We walked down the village street, _ they were having market day.3、 先行詞內(nèi)容有所不同限制性和非限制性定語從句先行詞均可為一個(gè)詞或短語，但非限制性定語從句先行詞還可為整個(gè)主句，此時(shí)非限制性定語從句常由 which 引導(dǎo)。 

27、;   e.g. A middle-aged woman killed her husband, which frightened me very much.    A five-year-old boy can speak two foreign languages, which surprises all the people present.四、關(guān)系詞的使用情況有所不同    (一) that 不可用于引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句    所有關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞均可引導(dǎo)限制性定語從句,大多

28、數(shù)關(guān)系代詞和關(guān)系副詞可引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句,但 that 不可。    e.g. 1. 他送給他母親一臺彩電作為生日禮物,這使她非常高興。    誤: He gave his mother a color TV set for her birthday, that pleased her a lot.    正: He gave his mother a color TV set for her birthday, which pleased her a lot.    e.

29、g. 2. 他沒通過這次考試,令我很失望。    誤: He didn't pass the exam, that disappointed me.    正: He didn't pass the exam, which disappointed me.注意: 除了which可引導(dǎo)非限之外，who, whose, when以及where也可以引導(dǎo)非限    e.g. We'll graduate in July, when we will be free.   

30、;  Last Sunday they reached Nanjing, where a conference was to be held.    (二)關(guān)系代詞省略情況不同    關(guān)系代詞在限制性定語從句中作賓語時(shí)可以省去，非限制性定語從句的所有關(guān)系詞均不可省。    e.g. This is the book (which/that) he lost yesterday.    The book, which he lost yesterday, has be
