Unit 1 Cultural relics 【美文阅读】 琥珀屋(Amber Room)被称为“世界第八大奇迹”，第二次世界大战中下落不明，你了解琥珀屋的历史吗？ In 1701，the King of Prussia Frederick Ⅰ decided to have a curiosity：a room with walls covered with amber.The work was started soon，and in 1713，the project was almost finished when，after the death of Frederick Ⅰ，his heir(继承人)－the King Frederick William Ⅰ ordered to stop the work immediately.The finished parts were packed and brought to the Armory(军械库)in Berlin. In 1717 the King Frederick William Ⅰ gave the whole prepared parts of the Amber Room to the Russian Emperor Peter Ⅰ as a gift.In 1743，the Russian Empress Elizabeth Ⅰ let an Italian designer place the amber cover in one of the rooms of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg.The Amber Room was first open in 1746 in the Winter Palace，where it was housed till 1755.That year it was moved to the summer palace of the Russian Emperors at Tsarskoe Syolo(普施克诺)． During the construction of the Amber Room at Tsarskoe Syolo，five master amber craftsmen from Prussia were employed at the place.The Amber Room was finished in the 70s of the 18th century and in that shape it existed almost 200 years.In 1942 Germans took the Amber Room from Tsarskoe Syolo and mounted it in the Konigsberg castle(哥尼斯堡城堡)．However，the danger of the British bombing in the summer of 1944 forced Germans to disassemble(拆分)the Amber Room and to pack it in boxes.As late as in April 1945 it was still in the Konigsberg castle，but further vicissitudes(变动)of the Amber Room remain unknown.Most probably the boxes with the Amber Room were burned down during the fire of the Konigsberg castle in April 1945. Reportedly，since the late seventies of the 20th century the reconstruction of the Amber Room has been carried on. 【诱思导学】 1．When was the Amber Room first open in the winter palace? 2．Where can the Amber Room be? 【答案】 1.In 1746. 2.①It might be still in the Konigsberg. ②It might be burned down.
