8、ll your group mates: A.     What do you know about the substance of “amber”? B.     What do you know about the cultural relics “the Amber Room”? 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

9、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 。1709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”（Amber Room）。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

10、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。III.

An adjective clause is a dependent clause which takes the place of an adjective in another clause or phrase. Li

34、ke an adjective, an adjective clause modifies a noun or pronoun, answering questions like “which?” or “what kind of?” Consider the following examples: Adjective the red coat Adjective clause the coat which I bought yesterday Like the word “red” in the first example, the dependent clause “which I bou

35、ght yesterday” in the second example modifies the noun “coat.” Note that an adjective clause usually comes after what it modifies, while an adjective usually comes before. In formal writing, an adjective clause begins with the relative pronouns “who(m),” “that,” or “which.” In informal writing or sp

36、eech, you may leave out the relative pronoun when it is not the subject of the adjective clause, but you should usually include the relative pronoun in formal, academic writing: informal The books people read were mainly religious. formal The books that people read were mainly religious. informal So

37、me firefighters never meet the people they save. formal Some firefighters never meet the people whom they save.

38、movie which made him cry This clause modifies the noun “movie” and answers the question “which movie?”. They are searching for the student who borrowed the book The clause modifies the pronoun “student” and answers the question “which student?”. Did I tell you about the author whom I met? The clause

39、 modifies the noun “author” and answers the question “which author?”. 2. Restrictive & non restrictive clauses Do the following pairs of sentences mean the same thing? 1a My uncle, who lives in London, is very rich. 2b My uncle who lives in London is very rich. 2a The policies, which were unpopu

40、lar, were rejected by the voters. 2b The policies which were unpopular were rejected by the voters. 3a My niece, whose husband is out of work, will inherit the house, which I have always treasured. 3b My niece whose husband is out of work will inherit the house which I have always treasured. The fir

41、st sentence in each pair has a non-restrictive clause within two commas, and the second has a restrictive clause.  A non-restrictive clause simply adds more information into the sentence and does not affect the meaning of the main clause:  it is therefore bracketed off with commas (1a = an

42、 uncle who happens to live in London).  Conversely, a restrictive clause defines its referent in the main clause more specifically and contributes significantly to the meaning of the sentence.  Thus it is that particular uncle who lives in London who is referred to (1b).  In 2a, all p

43、olicies were unpopular and all were rejected, whereas in 2b only the policies that were unpopular were rejected.  Note that in restrictive clauses the non-human relative pronoun is either that or which, whereas for human referents the relative pronoun can be either who/m or that (the man that/w
