Unit 5Canada“The True North”.阅读理解In the fifteenth century Italy had no single ruler.Instead it was a collection of independent states,known as “city states” because each one was run by a central city such as Florence.Some were small; some were large.Most states had their own government,laws and money.During the Middle Ages,five city states became very rich and powerful.For example,Venice became rich from its trade with the Far East,the Mediterranean and the rest of Europe.Banks in Florence lent money to businesses and governments all over Europe.There was great competition between the city stateswhich led to regular warsand between the families which ruled them.The city states also competed with each other to build the grandest or tallest buildings.Lets look in detail at one cityFlorence.In 1400 Florence was one of the largest cities in Italy.It was the centre of a rich trade in wool and cloth.One-third of the workers in Florence worked in the wool trade.The most powerful family in Florence was the Medici family,who had made their money through banking.The most famous member of the family was Lorenzo de Medici who ruled the city between 1469 and 1492.The other powerful people who had influence in Florence were the members of the guilds(行业协会).Craftsmen such as carpenters each had their own guild.If you were a member of a guild and over 25 years old then you could be involved in governing the city.The rulers of Florence wanted their city to be impressive and famous.The Medici collected books and built a huge library to house them.They spent money on renovating (修复) old buildings and putting up new ones.They built a splendid palace and employed painters and sculptors to decorate it.Some of the best and most famous artists were brought to work in Florence.1.What do we know about the city states?A.They ruled themselves.
