1、 Every year, the World Heritage Committee chooses natural and cultural places around the world that have global (全球的) importance. They name these places World Heritage Sites. When a place becomes a World Heritage Site, it can receive money from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural

2、 Organization (UNESCO) to help protect it.But even when a place is an official World Heritage Site, it can still be at risk. Every year, the World Heritage Committee looks at World Heritage Sites that could be in danger. From these, they decide which places they will put on their official List of Wo

3、rld Heritage in Danger.There are many reasons that a World Heritage Site becomes endangered. For example, places can become endangered through natural ecological (生态的) damage. Over time, wind and water can break down natural areas.Another risk to natural areas around the world is climate change. For

4、 example, rising temperatures affect the Sagarmatha National Park. In the park stands Mount Everest, the worlds tallest mountain. Beautiful ice glaciers on the top of the mountain are now melting. It also affects the local plants and animals.Much of the risk to World Heritage Sites comes from human

5、acts. Abu Mena is an ancient Christian city in Egypt. It is a historical site made of many old stone buildings. Abu Mena was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1979. Recent farming projects in the area caused underground water levels to rise. This makes the ground unstable (不稳定的). Some of the buildi

6、ngs of Abu Mena fell. The Egyptian government put sand at the base of some of the buildings. But the site is still in danger.Section_Warming_Up_&_Reading_Prereading IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOMFrederick William ， the King of Prussia， could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian peo

7、ple would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellowbrown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was

8、also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels， which took the countrys best artists about ten years to make.In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick . However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William ， to whom the amber room belonged， decided not

9、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 the Amber Room became part of the Czars winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Frederick William /fredrIk

13、造它用了好几吨的琥珀。选出来的琥珀色彩漂亮，呈现蜂蜜一样的黄褐色。琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的奇特的建筑式样。它也是一件用金银珠宝装饰起来的珍品。一批这个国家最优秀的艺术家用了大约10年的时间才把它完成。事实上，这个琥珀屋并不是作为礼物来建造的。它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿而设计(制作)的。然而，下一位普鲁士国王，腓特烈威廉一世，这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。在1716年，他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为回赠，沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。这样，琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。这间琥珀屋长约4米，被用作接待重要来宾的小型会客室。Later, Catherine had the Amber

14、Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add 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 consi

15、dered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing.In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St 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

16、Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twentyseven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Knigsberg， which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened t

17、o the Amber Room remains a mystery.Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at 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 300

20、的宫殿中。她叫她的工匠增添了更多精细的装饰。1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间，里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。可悲的是，尽管琥珀屋被认为是世界上的奇迹之一，可是现在它却消失了。1941年9月，纳粹德国的军队逼近圣彼得堡。这是在两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子到达夏宫之前，俄罗斯人能够把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小件艺术品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子偷偷地运走了。在不到两天的时间里，10万个部件被装进了27个木箱。毫无疑问，这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡，当时在波罗的海海边的一个德国城市。从那以后，琥珀屋发生了什么仍然是一个谜。近来，俄罗斯人和德国人

21、已经在夏宫建起了一个新的琥珀屋。通过研究琥珀屋原来的照片，他们建造的新琥珀屋看起来和旧的很像。2003年，圣彼得堡人民就用它来庆祝该市建成300周年。 对应学生用书P3PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.来源:Zxxk.Com1rareA使吃惊；惊讶2valuable B设计；构思；图案3survive C移动；搬开4amaze D稀罕的；罕见的；珍贵的5select E装饰；装修6design F贵重的；有价值的7fancy G怀疑；疑惑；不信8decorate H幸免；幸存；生还9doubt I挑选；选择1
