south is the han river valley. to the west is the line of mountains along the northern edge of the tibetan plateau. to the east are the lower funiu shan and dabie shan which rise out of the coastal plain.,the highest mountain in the range is mount taibai (太白山) at 3,767 metres, which is about 100 kilometres west of the ancient chinese capital of xian and is the highest mountain in eastern china. mount hua (华山) , mount li (骊山) , and mount maiji (麦积山) make up the three other significant peaks in the range. they are home to the qinling pandas, a sub-species of the giant panda. between 250 to 280

1420 during the reign of the yongle emperor, who was also responsible for the construction of the forbidden city in beijing. the complex was extended and renamed temple of heaven during the reign of the jiajing emperor in the 16th century. the jiajing emperor also built three other prominent temples in beijing, the temple of sun (日壇) in the east, the temple of earth (地壇) in the north, and the temple of moon (月壇) in the west . the temple of heaven was renovated in the 18th century under the qianlong emperor. due to the deterioration of state budget, this became the last large-scale renovation of the temple complex in the imperial time.,earth was represented by a square and heaven by a circle; several features of the temple complex symbolize the connection of heaven and earth, of

creature that has inspired legends as far away as ancient greece. 在秦岭山顶，居住着一种珍稀动物，关于他们的传说可以追溯到古希腊那个时代。 本句主语a rare and mysterious creature被that has inspired legends as far away as ancient greece修饰,句中that为关系代词，a rare and mysterious creature是先行词。文中另外一个定语从句的例子有：and in the qinling mountains there is one story that shows just how valuable these traditions can be. 在秦岭有一个传说，展现了传统的巨大价值。文中还出现了关系副词when引导的定语从句：the birds and farmers had probably coexisted here for thousands of years until the 20th century when in many parts of china, rice was replaced by more profitable wheat production. 鸟儿和农民在此已共同生活了几千年，直到20世纪在中国的许多地方，稻谷被有利可图的小麦取代。,2.make ones way to 找到去某地的路 golden takin make their way to the top of the mountains for the breeding season.秦岭羚牛在繁殖季节会向山顶迁徙。 3.now victorious, this male will have access to the females.得胜之后，雄性就可以与雌性亲近。 本句中victorious这一形容词做了状语，形容词作状语用时，一般用逗号将其与句子的其余部分隔开。这种状语可位于句首、句末或句中。它在意义上相当于一个状语从句。如：angry at the girl oversleeping, mr green went down to wake her up. （mr green went down to wake up the girl because he was angry with her for oversleeping. ）格林先生下去叫醒她，是因为她睡过了头惹恼了他。,4.wind ones way蜿蜒而行；蜿蜒前行；蜿蜒向前；蜿蜒前进 as the dragon winds its

believed to be extinct. 有一个时期甚至认为他们已经灭绝了。 本句可以转换成at one point, it was believed that they were extinct.即it做形式主语的句子。同样的用法还可用于say, think, known, report, estimate等。如：people think this winter is colder than usual.= it is thought that this winter is colder than usual. 6. make room for让出地方给，为腾出空位，也可引申为更重视如文中： in modern china, room is being made for nature once again. 在现代中国，保护自然再度受到重视。,7. while the impacts on wildlife from mass tourism is not entirely beneficial, the fact the increasing numbers of people are enjoying nature at first hand suggests some hope for the future.虽然大量游客带给野生动物的并非总是益处，这些不断增长的游客却无比享受自然情趣，这也暗示了未来的希望。 本句的主语是the increasing numbers of people are enjoying nature at first hand这一事实，其中the fact做其同位语。这与主语从句有区别。主语从句中引导该从句的引导词不可省略，如: that he finished writing the composition in such a short time surprised us all.他在如此短的时间里写完了作文，真让我们吃惊。该句可把the fact改为that转变为主语从句，即while the impacts on wildlife from mass tourism is not entirely beneficial, that the increasing numbers of people are enjoying nature at first hand suggests some hope for the future.,8. as用法： (1)随着；伴随着;当时, 文中如： as the farmers tend their new crops, the secret life of chinas most famous animal is finally coming to light.当农户照料作物时中国最著名生物中的神秘物种最终显形。 as night falls everyone from the neighborhood brings a lantern. 当夜幕降临，人们挟着灯笼涌出家门。 (2)尽管；虽然，文中有： as china looks to the future with a renewed sense of direction, ancient traditions are still very much a part of its culture. 尽管中国以崭新的面貌和趋势面向未来，中国传统文化依旧是重要的文明构成。,9. once deemed fit and healthy, the owls are taken to the hills at the edge of beijing.一旦确定恢复健康，他们将被带去位于京郊的山林放飞。 once作从属连词用表示“一旦就“,引导时间状语从句,表示时间上的两个动作或两件事彼此紧接着发生,同时带有条件意味。若从句中的主语与主句主语相同,且谓语中含有be时,可以省略从句的主语和be。如: once you have taken the examination, you will be able to relax. 你一旦考完试就可以轻松一下。 once(it is)found, any mistake must be corrected. 一旦发现任何错误就必须加以改正。,10. here at the temple of heaven in the very heart of beijing, there are signs of a new attitude towards nature.
