琥珀是史前松树脂的化石。琥珀是由千万年前植物所分泌出来的树脂，经过地壳变动而深埋地下，逐渐演化而成的一种天然化石。形成于4000万年至6000万年前，琥珀的主要成分是碳、氢、氧以及少量的硫，硬度2-3，比重1.05-1.10，熔点150C-180C，燃点250C-375C。琥珀是很“涩”的物质，没有两块琥珀是完全相同的。品种有金珀、虫珀、香珀、灵珀、石珀、花珀、水珀、明珀、蜡珀等，尤以含有完整昆虫或植物的琥珀为珍贵。AmberCanyouimaginewhataroommadeofamberlookslike?RawamberDoyouknowwhatpicturethisis?ApictureoftheAmberRoominStPetersburginRussiaCatherinePalace琥珀屋TheAmberRoom1709年，生性豪奢的普鲁士国王腓特烈一世命令当时普鲁士最有名的建筑师安·休鲁达和戈·德恩着手兴建“琥珀屋”（AmberRoom）。完成后的琥珀屋面积约55平方米，共有全由琥珀制成的12块护壁镶板和12个柱脚，其上饰有银箔，可任意拼装成各种形状。在当时，琥珀的价值为黄金的13倍，因此“琥珀屋”无论从材料的贵重程度还是工艺水平来说都堪称稀世奇珍，曾有“世界第八奇迹”之誉。为了向俄国示好，加强两国间的军事同盟关系，腓特烈一世在1716年决定将琥珀屋赠予俄国的彼得大帝。1717年，琥珀屋被运抵俄国的圣彼得堡。后来，这座估计价值1亿5千万英镑的艺术珍品又被运到了圣彼得堡郊外沙皇村（后更名为普希金城）的凯瑟琳宫。德国入侵前苏联后，凯瑟琳宫的工匠曾打算用纱和假墙纸把琥珀屋遮盖起来。不过，攻占皇宫的德军识破了伪装，将琥珀屋拆开运到了德国。人们知道德国人曾把琥珀屋收藏在东普鲁士的哥尼斯堡，但自那以后就再也没有人清楚它的下落。60年来，人们有过各种各样的揣测，寻找，却始终不见其踪影。充满传奇色彩的琥珀屋成了全世界最重要的失踪艺术品之一。•Skimthetext,trytogetthemainideaaboutthetext.IttellsusthestrangehistoryoftheAmberRoom,aculturalrelicoftwocountries:GermanyandRussia.1.HowmanytonsofamberwereusedtomaketheAmberRoom?2.Whatelsewereusedtomaketheroombesidesamber?3.WhywastheAmberRoomfirstbuilt?4.WhenandwhydidFrederickWilliamIgivetheAmberRoomtoPetertheGreat?5.WhatdidPetergiveinreturn?6.WhatdidCatherineⅡdowiththeAmberRoom?7.WhenandhowwastheAmberRoomsupposedtohavebeenlost?Questions:1.HowmanytonsofamberwereusedtomaketheAmberRoom?2.WhatelsewereusedtomaketheAmberRoom?3.WhywastheAmberRoomfirstbuilt?4.WhenandwhyFrederickWilliamIgivetheAmberRoomtoPeterTheGreat?Severaltons.Goldandjewels.ItwasbuiltforthepalaceofFrederick.In1716.ItwasgivenasagiftoffriendshipfromthePrussiantoRussianpeople.5.WhatdidPetertheGreatgiveinreturn?6.WhatdidCatherinetheGreatdowiththeAmberRoom?7.WhenandhowwastheAmberRoomsupposedtohavebeenlost?55ofhisbestsoldiers.Shetoldherartiststoaddmoredetailstoitsdesign.InSeptember,1941.TheNazissecretlystoletheAmberRoom.1.WhatcouldtheKingofPrussianeverthinkofhispresenttotheRussian?2.WhywasthegiftgiventhenametheAmberRoom?3.Whatshapecantheamberbemadeintowhenheated?4.IstheAmberRoompureambermadewith?5.WastheAmberRoomspeciallymadetobeagift?Hecouldneverthinkofhispresentwouldhavesuchastrangehistory.Becauseaboutseventhousandtonsofamberweremelttomakeit.Anyshape.No.It’salsomadewithgoldandjewels.No,itwasn’t.6.WhatwastheAmberRoommadefor?ForthepalaceofFrederickI.7.WherewastheAmberRoomfirstplaced?IntheCzar’swinterpalaceinStPetersburg.8.IstheAmberRoomstillinRussia?No,itisn’t.9.Whereisitnow?Nooneknows.Itremainsamystery.10.WhathappenedtotheAmberRoom?ItwasstolenbytheNazisandismissingnow.11.WhatweresavedfromtheAmberRoom?Thefurnitureandsmallartobjects.12.HowoldisStPetersburgnow?300yearsoldnow.BuiltinPrussia____FrederickWilliamI____SentittoPetertheGreat(Russian)____WinterpalaceCzarCatherineIIMoveoutsideStPetersburg____Thewarbetween(R&G)NaziGermanSecretlystole____SenttoKonigsberg(G)____mystery____NowRebuilt____GroupworkDiscussthefollowingtopicingroups,thenshowyouropinions:DoyouthinkitismeaningfultorebuildthenewAmberRoom?Why?insearchof-----lookingfore.g.I’mnowinsearchofahousetolivein.Atthattimemanypeoplewenttothewestinsearchofgold.1.FrederickWilliamI,theKingofPrussia,__________________________thathisgreatestgifttotheRussianpeoplewouldhavesuchastrangehistory.普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世从来也不会想到他赠送给俄国人民的礼物会有如此离奇的历史。couldnot/neverhavedone对过去所发生事情的否定推测couldneverhaveimaginedThegroundisweteverywhere.Itmusthaverainedlastnight._______________________(我本可以把钱借给他)buthedidn’ttellmeheneededit._______________________(你一定感到很紧张)whenyouspokeinfrontofsomanypeople.IcouldhavelenthimmoneyYoumustfeltverynervous2.Althoughitfeelsashardasstone,iteasilymelts____________.尽管它摸上去像石头一样坚硬，然而加热时它却很容易融化。whenheated是whenitisheated的省略形式。状语从句中，若其主语和主句的主语一致，同时谓语动词含有系动词be,或itis/was结构，可省去该从句的主语和系动词be，留下其余部分。Turntohimforhelpifnecessary.When__________whyhewaslate,hewentred.(ask)Becarefulwhen__________thestreet.(cross)askedcrossingwhenheated3.Onceitisheated,theamberroomcanbemadeintoanyshape.(P1,L4)一旦加热，可以把琥珀制作成任何形状。once为从属连词，意为“一旦”Onceyoubegintodoit,youmustdoitwell.Onceyouseeit,you’lllikeit.bemadeinto被制成由……制成（能看出原材料）由……制成（看不出原材料）由……组成/构成产于，生产于（某地/某时）bemadeofbemadefrombemadeupofbemadein1.Thewoodherewill_____________table.2.Thebottle___________glass.3.Thekindofwine________________grapes.4.Thisclass_______________60students.5.Themachines______________china.bemadeintoismadeofismadefromismadeupofaremadein4.Thedesignfortheroomwasofthefancystylepopularinthosedays.(P1,L5)琥珀屋的设计具有当时那个年代最流行的奇特风格。fancyadj.奇特的，花样的Idon’tfeellikemakingafancymeal.vt.想象,推测,假想1)Don’tfancythatyoucansucceedwithouthardwork.2)Ican’tfancyhisdoingsuchathing.3)Ifanciedhimtobedead.4)Hefancieshimselfasagoodwriter.5)Doyoufancyaglassofcoffee?6)Idon’tfancywalkingintherain.fancy+that-/one’sdoingsth/sbtobe…/sbas/sth/doingsthofthefancystyle“of+抽象名词”表示人或事物所具有的特征，特性，可在句中做表语或后置定语。1)Theyareofdifferentsizes,buttheyarethesameinweight.2)Idon’tfindanythingofinterestintoday’snewspaper3)YouradviseisofgreathelptolearnersofEnglish.4)TheyareofgreathelptolearnersofEnglish.ofgreatimportance=ofinterest=ofuse=ofvalue=ofhelp=importantinterestingusefulvaluablehelpful1.__________
