《History and traditions》Section A PPT

第一部分内容：晨读晚诵

人们常说,“历史是不能遗忘的”。但我们牢记历史并不仅仅是为了了解过去发生的事实,而是为了更好地把握今天,开创一个更美好的明天。

Yuanmingyuan

Yuanmingyuan,before its destruction,was referred to as the “Garden of Gardens”,since it was a combination① of gardens of different styles,Chinese and Western.

Yuanmingyuan consisted of② three gardens,Yuanmingyuan,Changchunyuan and Qichunyuan.They covered 350 hectares.

Plan of the three-in-one garden,with Qichunyuan in the front,Yuanmingyuan on the left,and Changchunyuan on the right.

The best-known Western structures were a fountain,a maze(迷宫) and European palaces,all of a Renaissance style.In a small lake was built a model of Venice.

The emperor’s apartments were adorned with art treasures of an astonishing richness.The garden was beautified by millions of foreign flowers and trees.

The Old Summer Palace yellow array,one of the scenes in the Garden of Perfect Splendour,has been reconstructed③.It is a maze of winding paths between low walls in the eastern part of the garden.

Unfortunately,on 6 October 1860,the British and French troops attacked and looted④ Yuanmingyuan.About 2 weeks later on 18 October,the British set Yuanmingyuan on fire.The garden was in flames for three days destroying most of the Chinese-style buildings constructed with wood.

During the looting of Yuanmingyuan,many imperial treasures⑤ were stolen and taken out of China.Among the treasures stolen were sculptures of the 12 bronze zodiacs sculptures⑥ that graced Emperor Qianlong’s fountains.

Visitors today can see a few blocks of stone and broken marble that once belonged to the European palaces constructed under Emperor Qianlong between 1740 and 1747.  

①combination n.结合

②consist of由……组成

③reconstruct vt.重建

④loot v.抢劫

⑤treasure n.珍宝

⑥sculpture n.雕塑

Visitors today can see a few blocks of stone and broken marble that once belonged to the European palaces constructed under Emperor Qianlong between 1740 and 1747.

翻译:今天的游客可以看到一些大块石头和破碎的大理石,它们曾经属于乾隆皇帝在1740年至1747年间建造的欧洲风格的宫殿。

分析:本句是个复合句。Visitors today can see...是主句,that once belonged...是定语从句,constructed under...是过去分词短语作定语。

1.Why were most of the Chinese-style buildings destroyed in the fire?

答案:Because they were mostly made of wood.

2.What do you think of the destruction of Yuanmingyuan?

答案:It is an inestimable loss not only in the history of Chinese culture,but also in the history of world culture!

Ⅱ.阅读理解

If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them outP1.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal.  Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy. Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up forP2 the drawbacksW of Westerners philosophy.  Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.  So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.

Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. 

So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.

Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，阐述了西方人学习中国文化的现象。

1．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.

A．provide some key facts about Confucius

B．attract the readers' interest in the subject

C．show great respect for the ancient thinker

D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

2．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.

A．have a great interest in studying Chinese

B．take an active part in Chinese competitions

C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams

D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
