Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors Section Ⅰ Warming Up &；Reading-Pre-readingIt has long been known the ancient Egyptian rulers, or pharaohs ( 法老), were buried with great ceremony and lavish (大量的) treasures that were to be used in the other world.Unfortunately, until 1922 no remains of any of the pharaohs or their treasures had ever been found. In that year, however, an archaeologist named Howard Carter and his sponsor, Lord Carnavon, were at last successful. They found the tomb of King Tutankhamen, who was buried 3,200 years ago. King Tut's tomb was the first fully preserved burial site to be uncovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. The two men found the tomb to contain wonderful treasures. Gold figures and magnificent furniture decorated with gold were found in the myriad (许多) of secret rooms and tunnels within the pyramid.The only disappointment for Howard Carter came when he found that King Tut's body was nothing but dust. Apparently a mistake had been made when the king's remains were mummified ( 使 成 木 乃 伊 ). Carter did, however, find 143 pieces of jewelry within the mummy case, mostly made of gold and precious stones. Actually, despite all the publicity about the remarkable finds in his tomb, Tutankhamen's reign (统治时期) as pharaoh was short and relatively uneventful (太平的). He died when he was just 18 years old.Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — Prereading[原文呈现][读文清障]A VISIT TO THE ZHOUKOUDIAN CAVESAgroupofstudents (S) fromEnglandhascometotheZhoukoudiancavesforavisit.
