№8 Прочитайте и письменно переведите 1,4,5 абзацы текста: The Taj Mahal, Agra, India 1) Agra, once the capital of the Mughal Empire during the 16th and early 18th centuries, is one and a half hours by express train from New Delhi. Tourists from all over the world visit Agra (1) to make a pilgrimage to Taj Mahal, India`s most famous architectural wonder. Taj Mahal means “Crown Palace” and is in fact the most well (2) preserved and architecturally beautiful tomb in the world. 2) Taj Mahal stands on the bank of River Yamuna, which otherwise serves as a wide moat (3) defending the Great Red Fort of Agra, the centre of the Mughal emperors until they moved their capital to Delhi in 1637. It was built by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in 1631 in memory of his second wife, Mumtaz Mahal, a Muslim Persian princess. She died while (4) accompanying her husband in Burhanpur in a campaign to crush a rebellion after (5) giving birth to their 14th child. The ruler went into deep mourning. The death so crushed the emperor that all his 12
hair and beard were said (6) to have grown snow white in a few months. 3) When Mumtaz was still alive, she extracted four promises from the emperor: first, that he would build “a tomb in her memory such as the world had never (7) seen before"; second that he should marry again; third, that he would be kind to their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He kept the first and second promises. Construction began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years. The material was brought in from all over India and central Asia and it took a fleet of 1000 elephants (8) to transport it to the site. Some 20,000 workmen (9) employed on it daily lived in a specially built small town next to it called “Mumtazabad” for the dead empress. 4) The central dome is 57 meters, or 187 feet, high in the middle. A total of 28 beautiful stones were used: red sandstone was brought from Fatehpur Sikri, jasper from Punjab, jade and crystal from China, turquoise from Tibet, lapis lazuli and sapphire from Sri Lanka, coal and cornelian from Arabia and diamonds from Panna. The luminescent white marble was brought from far-off Makrana, Rajasthan. Nearly every surface of the entire complex has been (10) decorated, and the exterior decorations are among the finest (11) to be found in Mughal architecture of any period. The rectangular base of Taj is in itself symbolic of the different sides from which to view a beautiful woman. The main gate is like a veil to a woman’s face which should (12) be lifted delicately, gently and without haste on the wedding night. 5) The dome is made of white marble, but the tomb is set against the plain across the river and it is this background that works its magic of colors that, through their reflection, change the view of the Taj. The colours change at different hours of the day and during different seasons. Like a jewel, the Taj sparkles in moonlight when 13
the semi-precious stones (13) inlaid into the white marble on the main mausoleum catch the glow of the moon. The Taj is pinkish in the morning, milky white in the evening and golden when the moon shines. These changes, they say, depict the different moods of woman. 6) The emperor, later (14) buried in the Taj, was overthrown by his son and imprisoned in the nearby Great Red Fort for eight years, from which, it is said, he could see the Taj Mahal out of his small cell window. The origin of the name "Taj Mahal" is not clear. It is generally (15) believed that "Taj Mahal" (usually translated as either "Crown Palace" or "Crown of the Palace") is an abbreviated version of Mumtaz name. №9 Прочитайте текст еще раз и письменно ответьте на вопросы к нему: 1) Who built the Taj Mahal and why? 2) What promises did the Emperor give to his wife Mumtaz? 3) What materials was the Taj Mahal built of? 4) What does the Taj Mahal symbolize? №10 Заполните пропуски в предложениях выделенными жирным шрифтом словами из текста и переведите предложения на русский язык.

№8 Прочитайте и письменно переведите 2,3,4,5 абзацы текста: Colosseum, Rome, Italy 1) The Colosseum is the greatest amphitheatre of the antiquity. Emperor Vespasian, founder of the Flavian Dynasty, started construction of the Colosseum in AD 72. It was completed in AD 80, the year after Vespasian’s death. The design concept of this great amphitheater in the center of Rome is still relevant, (1) having influenced almost every modern sports stadium. The huge amphitheater was built on the site of an artificial lake, part of Nero’s huge park in the Center of Rome. The Colosseum's name is believed (2) to come from a 40-meter colossus of Nero nearby. 2) The Colosseum is 48 meters high, 188 meters long and 156 meters wide. There are 19
80 arches on each of the first three levels, and the wooden arena floor was covered with sand. Its elliptical shape kept the players from (3) retreating to a corner, and let the spectators be closer to the action than in a circle. The amphitheater could hold up to seventy thousand spectators. The tires of seats were inclined in such a way as (4) to enable people (5) to get a perfect view from wherever they sat. 3) The Colosseum was cleverly designed, and most modern stadiums have important features first (6) seen here. Seating was divided into sections: the podium, or first level, was for the Roman senators, and the emperor's cushioned box was also here. Above the podium was the area for other Roman aristocrats. The third level was divided into three sections: a lower part for wealthy citizens and an upper part for poor ones. A wooden area at the very top of the building was (7) standing room only, for lower-class women. 4) Today, the arena floor no longer exists, though the walls and corridors are visible in the ruins. There are also tunnels, still in existence, (8) made to flood and evacuate water from the Colosseum floor so naval battles could (9) be staged. Another innovative feature of was the cooling system, known as the velarium: a canvascovered, net-like structure made of ropes, with a hole in the center. This roof covered two-thirds of the arena and sloped down toward the center (10) to catch the wind and provide a breeze for the audience. 5) The highly ostentatious opening ceremony lasted one hundred days during which people saw great fights, shows and hunts (11) involving the killing of thousands of animals. For the opening the arena space was filled with water for one of the most fantastic events held in Roman times, naumachias-real sea battles (12) reproducing great battles of the past.
20
6) Emperors used the Colosseum (13) to entertain the public with free games. Those games were a symbol of prestige and power and were a way for an emperor to increase his popularity. Games were held for a whole day or even several days in a row. They usually started with comical acts and displays of exotic animals and ended with fights to the death between animals and gladiators or between gladiators. These fighters were usually slaves, prisoners of war or condemned criminals. Sometimes free Romans and even Emperors took part in the action. 7) The Colosseum was in use until 217, when it was damaged by fire from lightning. Four earthquakes between 442 and 1349 severely hurt the building, which was then converted into a fortress with a Christian church built into one small area. What we can see nowadays is just a skeleton of what was the greatest arena in the ancient world. From the Middle Ages onwards, the Colosseum has (14) been one of Rome’s and the world’s greatest marvels, (15) attracting hoards of visitors. №9 Прочитайте текст еще раз и письменно ответьте на вопросы к нему: 1) How much of the Colosseum has survived? 2) What made the Colosseum innovative in Ancient Rome? 3) What for did the Roman Emperors use the Colosseum and why? 4) What unusual and great events were held on the arena of the Colosseum? №10 Заполните пропуски в предложениях выделенными жирным шрифтом словами из текста и переведите предложения на русский язык.

№8 Прочитайте и письменно переведите 1,2,5,7 абзацы текста: A Brief History of Petra 1) On the edge of the Arabian Desert, (1) nestled away in the mountains south of the Dead Sea, Petra was the glittering capital of the Nabataean empire. It came into prominence in the late first century BC through the success of the spice trade. Among the most remarkable of all Nabataean achievements are the hydraulic engineering systems they developed including water conservation systems and the 26
dams that were constructed (2) to divert the rush of swollen winter waters that create flash floods. The town grew up around its Colonnaded Street in the first century AD and by the mid-first century had (3) witnessed rapid urbanization. 2) According to tradition, in 1200 BC, the Petra area was (4) populated by Edomites and the area was known as Edom ("red"). Before the Israelite incursions, the Edomites controlled the trade routes from Arabia in the south to Damascus in the north. Little is known about the Edomites at Petra itself, but as a people they were (5) known for their wisdom, their writing, their textile industry, the excellence and fineness of their ceramics, and their skilled metal working. 3) The next chapter of history belongs to the Persian period, and it is posited that during this time the Nabataeans migrated into Edom, (6) forcing the Edomites (7) to move into southern Palestine. With Nabataean rule, Petra became the center for a spice trade. 4) In 64-63 BC, the Nabataeans were conquered by the Roman general, Pompey, whose policy was (8) to restore the cities taken by the Jews. However, he retained an independent Nabataea, although the area was taxed by the Romans and served as a buffer territory against the desert tribes. 5) By 313 AD, Christianity had become a state-recognized religion. In 330 CE, the Emperor Constantine established the Eastern Roman Empire with its capital at Constantinople. The inhabitants during the Byzantine Period recycled many standing structures and rock-cut monuments, while also (9) constructing their own buildings, including churches - such as the recently (10) excavated Petra Church with the extraordinary mosaics. Among the rock-cut monuments they reused is the great tomb or the Ad-Dayr (known also as 'The Monastery'), which was (11) 27
modified into a church. With a change in trade routes, Petra's commercial decline was inevitable. An even more devastating earthquake had a severe impact on the city in 551 CE, and all but brought the city to ruin. 6) As one of the most spectacular sites in the Middle East, Petra has long (12) attracted travelers and explorers. During the 19th century, the site was visited and documented by several Europeans, after J. L. Burckhardt’s initial visit. Petra, which means "stone" in Greek, has survived through the ages because almost all of its "buildings" were carved out of solid rock walls. It is perhaps the most spectacular ancient city (13) remaining in the modern world. Architectural remains now visible at Petra indicate a thriving city, however, despite almost 100 years of excavation, only onepercent of the city (14) been investigated. 7) Much of Petra’s fascination comes from its setting on the edge of Wadi Araba, part of the Great Rift Valley. The rugged sandstone hills form a deep canyon easily protected from all directions. The best access to Petra is through the Siq, a winding, often narrow valley which suddenly opens upon the most impressive of Petra’s monuments, al-Khazneh ("the Treasury"). (15) Carved out of the mountain and over 40 meters high, it was a royal tomb-but legend says that pirates hid their treasure there, hence “the Treasury.” №9 Прочитайте текст еще раз и ответьте на вопросы к нему: 1) Who lived in Petra before the Nabataeans? 2) What was Petra famous for? 3) Who opened Petra to the Europeans? 4) Why could Petra survive through the ages?

№8 Прочитайте и письменно переведите 2,3,4,5 абзацы текста: Chinese Civilization: The Great Wall 1) The Great Wall is the largest human-made structure ever built, its length (1) being over 6,400km and an average width of 6.5m. It is the largest man-made monument ever built and is the only one often said (and sometimes disputed!) (2) to be visible from space. The construction of the Great Wall was a steady and continuous development over 2,000 years. The Great Wall was built to link existing into a united defense system and keeps (3) invading nomadic Mongol tribes out of China. The Great Wall was built as a defensive fortification by three states: Yan, Zhao and Qin. The Great Wall went through constant extensions and repairs in later dynasties. 33
Construction on the first section began between the 7th and 6th century BC, and the last work on the wall was done between the 14th and 17th centuries. 2) In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the "Great" wall until the Qin Dynasty. Emperor Qin Shihuang succeeded in his effort (4) to have the walls joined together to fend off invasions from in the north after China’s unification. However, the advantages of the enormous barrier faded with the arrival of gunpowder and other weaponry. In any case, the Great Wall has served as a monument of the Chinese nation throughout history. 3) The wall was originally built of stone, wood, grass and earth. Later, in the Ming Dynasty (1369-1644), the traditional earth walls disappeared and in a few decades had (5) to be rebuilt. The Walls that exist today were built in the 16th Century and are made from stone, and became elaborate structures with watch towers and crenellations. The bricks were transported by men (6) carrying them on their backs, donkeys, mules and even by goats with a brick tied to their head (7) being driven up a mountain. 4) It had a strategic geography and a single purpose to defend the agrarian culture in the south from the nomadic culture in the north. By the 17th Century the Ming had created a military frontier and a national boundary marked by a Great Wall. The Wall was (8) criticized for its immorality when hundreds of thousands of Chinese peasantry men were (9) sent away to build the walls, (10) laying one building block on top of another in an uninhabited region of the mountains, hundreds of miles from their homes, for months or even years at a time.
34
5) This immorality opposes the Wall’s embodiment of the Confucian values of peace and harmony, (11) endeavoring to prevent chaos; humaneness; and virtue. As a result the Wall became a negative symbol of oppression, cruelty, despotic rule and political failure. But now, despite the negativity within China, 20th Century Westerners are fascinated by this Wall as a “wonder of the world”. 6) Guafu Tower (or Widow Tower) is a square watchtower where it was said that during the Ming Dynasty twelve widows of frontier soldiers donated their pension and built this tower. Without the Great Wall, China could (12) have been conquered by the nomads as early as the Warring States period and the China that we know today may not (13) have existed. 7) Like a huge dragon, the Great Wall winds across plateaus, deserts, grasslands and mountains,(14) stretching some 6,700 km (4,163 miles) from East to West. Over the more than 2,000 years that the wall has been standing, some areas have (15) fallen apart or even disappeared. Yet, the remarkable architectural grandeur and historical significance still attract hundreds of thousands of tourists to the Great Wall every year. №9 Прочитайте текст еще раз и письменно ответьте на вопросы к нему: 1) What was the Great Wall built for? 2) What materials were used for the Great Wall in different times? 3) Why was the Great Wall considered to be immoral? 4) Why do many people today call the Great Wall one of the modern wonders of the world?

Christ Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil This Art Deco-style statue of Jesus, which was inaugurated in 1931, stands some 38 meters (125 ft) tall, atop the Corcovado (“hunchback”) mountain overlooking Rio de Janeiro. As well as being a potent symbol of Christianity, the statue has become an icon of the city and a symbol of the great warmth of the Brazilian people. The idea for erecting a large statue on Corcovado started in the mid-1850s, when a Catholic priest, Dom Pedro Maria Boss, asked for financing for a large religious monument from Princess Isabel of Portugal. She was not interested and the idea died completely in 1889, when Brazil became a republic with laws about separating church and state. The second proposal for a large landmark statue on the mountain came in 1921 from the Archdiocese of Rio de Janiero, which organized an event called Semana do Monumento ("Monument Week") to collect donations from people all over Brazil. Designed by the local engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and created by French sculptor Paul Landowski, Christ Redeemer is one of the world’s best-known monuments. The statue, which took five years to build, is made out of reinforced concrete, with the outer layers made from soapstone because of this stone being easy to work with and resistant to extreme weather. The Corcovado Rack Railway played an important part in the building effort, as the only way to get the large pieces of the statue to the top of the mountain was by train. One of the highlights of the inauguration ceremony on October 12, 1931 was supposed to be the activation of the lighting system by the Italian radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi from his yacht far away in Naples, Italy. Bad weather, however, affected the strength of the signal and the lights had to be switched on manually by workers at Corcovado. On January 20, 2003, technology brought another change to the monument—panoramic elevators and escalators were inaugurated, so it is no longer necessary to climb up 220 steps to see the statue up close. 37
Machu Picchu, Peru Around 1440, it is believed that the Pachacútec Yupanqui, the founder of the Inca Empire, built the city in the clouds known as Machu Picchu ("Old Mountain") in what is now Peru. This extraordinary settlement lies 2,350 m (7,710 ft) above sea level, deep in the Amazon jungle above the Urubamba River. Forgotten for centuries by the outside world, Machu Picchu attracted international attention when it was rediscovered by the American archeologist Hiram Bingham in 1911. There are several different theories as to what Machu Picchu was: some believe it was the luxurious mausoleum (burial site) of Pachacútec, since there are remains of buildings that were covered with gold; others think that it was an Incan, a settlement built to both control the economy of the conquered regions and to protect the the top Incan aristocracy in the case of an attack. Another theory expands on this idea, seeing Machu Picchu as a country retreat for Inca nobility. It may also have been used as an observatory and for astrological ceremonies. A maximum of 750 people probably lived in the “Lost City of the Incas” at once. It is said that the silhouette of the mountain range behind Machu Picchu represents the face of the Inca looking upward towards the sky, with the largest peak, Huayna Picchu (“young mountain”) representing his nose. Machu Picchu had a large agricultural area—with practical crops, such as corn and coca, and orchids and other decorative plants, as well as what were probably living and religious sections. In the upper urban area, there is the famous intihuatana (“the hitching post of the sun”), a stone column rising from a stone block the size of a grand piano. This solar clock exactly shows the dates of the two equinoxes and other important celestial events. It is thought that, as the winter solstice neared, when the sun seemed to disappear more each day, priests would hold a ceremony to tie the sun to the stone to prevent the sun from disappearing completely. Everything shows that Machu Picchu was quickly abandoned when the Spanish, fighting the rebellious Incas of Vilcabamba, went into Cuzco lands. But deadly 38
smallpox was faster than the conquistadors, and 50 percent of the population had probably been killed by the disease by 1527. The Inca government began to fail, part of the empire seceded and it fell into civil war. So, by the time Pizarro, the Inca’s conqueror, arrived in Cuzco in 1532, Machu Picchu was probably already a ghost town. Leaning Tower of Pisa The Leaning Tower of Pisa or simply The Tower of Pisa is the campanile, or freestanding bell tower, of the cathedral of the Italian city of Pisa. It is situated behind the Cathedral and it is the third structure in Pisa's Piazza del Duomo (Cathedral Square). Although intended to stand vertically, the tower began leaning to the southeast soon after the onset of construction in 1173 due to a poorly laid foundation and loose substrate that has allowed the foundation to shift direction. The height of the tower is 55.86 m (183.27 ft) from the ground on the lowest side and 56.70 m (186.02 ft) on the highest side. The width of the walls at the base is 4.09 m (13.42 ft) and at the top 2.48 m (8.14 ft). Its weight is estimated at 14,500 tones. The tower has 294 steps. The tower leans at an angle of 5.5 degrees. This means that the top of the tower is 4.5 meters from where it would stand if the tower was perfectly vertical. The Tower of Pisa was a work of art, performed in three stages over a period of about 177 years. Construction of the first floor of the white marble campanile began on August 9, 1173, a period of military success and prosperity. This first floor is surrounded by pillars with classical capitals, leaning against blind arches. There has been controversy about the real identity of the architect of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. For many years, the design was attributed to Guglielmo and Bonanno Pisano, a well-known 12th-Century resident artist of Pisa, famous for his bronze casting, particularly in the Pisa Duomo. Bonanno Pisano left Pisa in 1185 for Monreale, Sicily, only to come back and die in his home town. His sarcophagus was discovered at the foot of the tower in 1820. However recent studies seem to indicate Diotisalvi as the original architect, by construction affinities with his other works, like the Baptistery in 39
Pisa. The tower began to sink after construction progressed to the third floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-meter foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil. This means the design was flawed from the beginning. Construction was subsequently halted for almost a century, because the Pisans were almost continually engaged in battles with Genoa, Lucca and Florence. This allowed time for the underlying soil to settle. Otherwise, the tower would almost certainly have toppled. In 1198, clocks were temporarily installed on the third floor of the unfinished construction. In 1272, construction resumed under Giovanni di Simone, architect of the Camposanto. In an effort to compensate for the tilt, the engineers built higher floors with one side taller than the other. This made the tower begin to lean in the other direction. Because of this, the tower is actually curved. Construction was halted again in 1284, when the Pisans were defeated by the Genoans in the Battle of Meloria. The seventh floor was completed in 1319. The bell-chamber was not finally added until 1372. It was built by Tommaso di Andrea Pisano, who succeeded in harmonizing the Gothic elements of the bell-chamber with the Romanesque style of the tower. There are seven bells, one for each note of the musical scale. The largest one was installed in 1655. After a phase (1990-2001) of structural strengthening, the tower is currently undergoing gradual surface restoration, in order to repair visual damage, mostly corrosion and blackening. These are particularly strong due to the tower's age and to its particular conditions with respect to wind and rain. Galileo Galilei is said to have dropped two cannon balls of different masses from the tower to demonstrate that their descending speed was independent of their mass. This is considered an apocryphal tale, and the only source for it comes from Galileo's secretary. In 1934 Benito Mussolini ordered that the tower be returned to a vertical position, so concrete was poured into its foundation. However, the result was that the tower actually sank further into the soil. During World War II, the Allies discovered that the Nazis were using it as an observation post. A humble U.S. Army sergeant was 40
briefly entrusted with the fate of the tower. His decision not to call in an artillery strike saved the edifice. On February 27, 1964, the government of Italy requested aid in preventing the tower from toppling. It was, however, considered important to retain the current tilt, due to the vital role that this element played in promoting the tourism industry of Pisa. A multinational task force of engineers, mathematicians and historians was assigned and met on the Azores islands to discuss stabilization methods. After over two decades of work on the subject, the tower was closed to the public on 7 January 1990. While the tower was closed, the bells were removed to relieve some weight, and cables were cinched around the third level and anchored several hundred meters away. Apartments and houses in the path of the tower were vacated for safety. After a decade of corrective reconstruction and stabilization efforts, the tower was reopened to the public on December 15, 2001. It was found that the lean was increasing due to the stonework expanding and contracting each day due to the heat of sunlight. This was working in combination with the softer foundations on the lower side. Many methods were proposed to stabilize the tower, including the addition of 800 metric tons of lead counterweights to the raised end of the base. The final solution to prevent the collapse of the tower was to slightly straighten the tower to a safer angle, by removing 38 m3 of soil from underneath the raised end. Through this, the tower was straightened by 18 inches (45 centimeters), returning to the exact position that it was in 1838. The tower has been declared stable for at least another 300 years. In 1987, the tower was declared as part of the Piazza dei Miracoli UNESCO World Heritage Site along with neighboring cathedral, baptistery and cemetery. Timbuktu, Mali Founded in the 12th century, Timbuktu was one of the wealthiest places in the world, at the crossroads of four important caravan paths supplying the far-spread and 41
powerful Arab world. One of world’s the first universities were founded here—the celebrated Islamic Sankore, where 20,000 students studied. Today, it remains a powerful myth and thus resembles an Ancient Wonder: the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The name Timbuktu, “Buktu’s well,” may come from a Tuareg woman named Buktu who dug a well where the city grew. Tales of Timbuktu's wealth prompted European exploration of the west coast of Africa. “Timbuktu” is often used to describe a place very far away or that may not even exist. In reality, it is a city in Mali on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, about eight miles from the Niger River. By the 14th century, Timbuktu had become a major trade center and a hub of Islamic scholarship and culture. When the emperor Mansa Musa went on a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324, he changed European and Arab perceptions about western Africa. Stopping in Cairo, Musa gave away so much gold that the local money market crashed. He built the Great Mosque and hired the Granada architect Abu Ishaq as Sahil to design the Sankore mosque, around which Sankore University grew. By the 1450s, some 100,000 people lived here—a quarter of whom were scholars, many having studied in Egypt or Mecca. The city reached its peak between 1403 and 1591, when North African merchants traded salt, cloth and horses for gold and slaves. Leo Africanus, a Muslim from Granada, wrote about his visit in 1526, fueling European interest in the "city of gold." In 1591, Morocco captured Timbuktu and soon arrested its scholars for being disloyal, killing some and exiling others. Even more devastating were the attacks by Bambara, Fulani, and Tuareg warriors, which the occupying Moroccan troops could not stop. In 1788, a group of Englishmen formed the Association for Promoting the Discovery of the Interior Parts of Africa, primarily to discover the source of the Niger and reach Timbuktu. Most famous of the failures was Mungo Park, who was robbed, tortured, and then drowned. In 1824, the Geographical Society of Paris offered a reward to the first European to visit Timbuktu and return alive. The Scottish explorer Gordon Laing succeeded in 1826, but was murdered two days after leaving the 42
city. Timbuktu was captured in 1894 by the French, who partly restored the city. In 1960, it became part of the independent Republic of Mali. Использованная литература. Березина О.А., Шпилюк Е.М.
