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:词汇分类重点单词1valuable adj.贵重的；有价值的_ n价值 v估价_ adj.无价值的；不值钱的2survive vi.幸

25、60;   非限制性定语从句与先行词关系不十分密切,只是对其作一些附加说明,不起限定制约作用。如果将非限制性定语从句省去,主句的意义仍然完整。二、外在表现形式不同    限制性定语从句不可用逗号与主句分隔开，而非限制性定语从句一般都有一个逗号与主句分隔开。    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、 先行词内容有所不同限制性和非限制性定语从句先行词均可为一个词或短语，但非限制性定语从句先行词还可为整个主句，此时非限制性定语从句常由 which 引导。 

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、关系词的使用情况有所不同    (一) that 不可用于引导非限制性定语从句    所有关系代词和关系副词均可引导限制性定语从句,大多

28、数关系代词和关系副词可引导非限制性定语从句,但 that 不可。    e.g. 1. 他送给他母亲一台彩电作为生日礼物,这使她非常高兴。    误: 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. 他没通过这次考试,令我很失望。    误: He didn't pass the exam, that disappointed me.    正: He didn't pass the exam, which disappointed me.注意: 除了which可引导非限之外，who, whose, when以及where也可以引导非限    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)关系代词省略情况不同    关系代词在限制性定语从句中作宾语时可以省去，非限制性定语从句的所有关系词均不可省。    e.g. This is the book (which/that) he lost yesterday.    The book, which he lost yesterday, has be
