1、Do you know anything about historic sites in the following pictures?The Colosseum,Rome,Italy,built in the first century.The Colosseum 罗马圆形大剧场（斗兽场）建于公元72至82年间由4万名战俘用8年时间建造起来的，现仅存遗迹。斗兽场专为野蛮的奴隶主和流氓们看角斗而造。现在虽只剩下大半个骨架，但其雄伟之气魄、磅礴之气势犹存。斗兽场平面呈椭圆形，占地约2万平方米，外围墙高57米，相当于现代19层楼房的高度。底层的第一区是皇帝和贵族的座席，第二层为罗马高阶层市民席，第

2、三层则为一般平民席，再往上就是大阳台，一般观众只能在此处站着观看表演了。场内看台共可容纳观众5万多人，底层地面有80个出入口，可确保在15分钟至30分钟内把场内5万观众全部疏散离场。斗兽场的建筑师究为何人，现在还是个未知数。Angkor Wat,a temple complex built in Cambodia in the 12th century.吴哥窟又称吴哥寺，位在柬埔寨西北方。原始的名字是Vrah Vishnulok，意思为“毗湿奴的神殿”。中国古籍称为“桑香佛舍”。它是吴哥古迹中保存得最完好的的庙宇，以建筑宏伟与浮雕细致闻名于世，也是世界上最大的庙宇。Angkor Wat（柬埔寨

4、积雪给穹顶造成重压。教堂建成后，人们又在它的外部以彩色装饰，这些建筑师精心设计过的圆顶为教堂增添了不少风采，呈现出浓郁的童话色彩。St Brasils Cathedral 莫斯科的圣巴塞尔教堂Classical gardens of Suzhou,China,built between the 11th and 19th centuries.Yuanmingyuan in ChinaWhat is this?Yuan mingyuanThe ruins of Yuanmingyuan are located in the suburbs of Beijing to the north-west
