‎2018届人教版必修2一轮复习：Unit 2 The Olympic Games单元学案 一 单元话题阅读 ‎ Pausanias The Greek traveler, geographer, Pausanias from Magnesia (115-180 AD), visited Sikyon around 150 AD. In his books gives not only his personal observations on monuments of art and architecture but also topographical and historical information, as well the religious cults and the opinion of the natives of the places he visited. Later in his life, he settled in Rome, where he composed from his notes the "Periegesis" (Tour of Greece) in ten books. In book II describes Corinth and Sikyon. The accuracy of his descriptions has been proved correct. ‎ Pausanias came to Sikyon from Corinth. Close to the Gate of the city, he saw a spring whose water was coming from the roof of a cave, the so-called "Stazousa" (dripping spring).‎ Many suggestions have been made about the location of the spring. In our opinion this place is where the spring of Mikri Brysi is today and here are some arguments:‎ In the eastern plateau they were two possible entrances, as still are today, the way Pausanias was coming. The Sacred Gate and the way to the plateau are from Mikri Brysi. Since he did not enter from the Sacred Gate, which he mentions only later in his description, the one left ought to be near the spring of Mikri Brysi, where there is a path still today (Saint Athanasios) to ascend to the plateau. This explains why he starts his description from the Hellenistic Acropolis.‎ Any other entrance must be rejected. A possible entrance of Pausanias from the northwest side of the plateau, must be dismissed, the reason being there are no springs and caves there, second he would have seen the Stadium, which he does not mention and third it is an unnatural entrance because Pausanias was coming from the east (Corinth), not the west. Another possible site for an entrance, a gully in the middle of the eastern plateau, not exactly in his way, it has a large cave, but it is too steep and ‎ difficult to ascend and if Pausanias came through here, he would had start his description from the Agora and not from the Hellenistic Acropolis.‎ Pausanias begins his description from the Hellenistic Acropolis where he finds the temple of Tyche Akraia and a little further the Dioscouroi Temple. The statues of them both were made from wood.‎ Descending from the Acropolis, he came to the Theater and in the stage he saw a statue of Aratos, son of Kleinias, holding a shield.‎ From there, he visited the nearby Temple of Dionysos whose statue was made of gold and ivory and at his sides were Bakchai of white marble.‎ Walking towards the market, at his right, he saw the ruined temple of Artemis Limnaia, a very ancient temple. This is identified today with the excavated ruins of a temple opposite to the Roman baths. The name given to Artemis "Limnaia" indicates, that at these times there was abundant water on the plateau, as also the drainage of the Theater suggests. Diodoros confirms this.‎ In a sort distance from the temple of Artemis and at the entrance in Agora, there was the sanctuary of Peitho, the so-called later "Phobos" place, where Apollo and Artemis came after killing the Python at Delphi. The next to it temenos of Roman emperors, was once the house of tyrant Kleon.‎ TheTemple of Apollo in the market, where the ceremony from the river Sythas was ended, had been founded by Proetos, for the sake of his daughters recovering from madness. Inside the temple in older times they were kept various precious objects.‎ Close to "Phobos" place was the Heroon of Aratos. Pausanias now walking through Agora, he saw the Altar of Isthmian Poseidon and close to it the statues of Zeus Meilichios and Artemis Patroa, both of them made symbolically, Zeus in the shape of pyramid and Artemis as a column.‎ From there he went to the close-by Bouleuterion. Excavations today shows us, that it was a big square building (40m x 41m), having sixteen columns in the interior for the support of the roof. At later times it was used as baths. ‎ Next to it there was a big Stoa, which Pausanias tell us that was a dedication by ‎ Kleisthenes from the plunders of the sacred war. The building whose excavations have been made dates from Hellenistic times and Pausanias can't be correct unless the building had been rebuild. The dimensions of the building were 106m x 6m and had 47 Doric columns and in the interior 24 Ionic columns. Inside it they were 20 rooms of same size which they were used as shopping stores.‎ It was near here that the enormous bronze statue of Zeus was standing made by Lysippos and next to it a gilded Artemis and close to them the ruined from fire, very old temple of Apollo Lykeios. Inside it was kept the bark of the log with which Apollo helped the Sikyonians to poison the wolves. It was also here that the bronze statues of the daughters of Proetos were standing.‎ The last statues Pausanias describes in the Agora is the colossal bronze Herakles (Resting) made by Lysippos at 320 BC, at the age of seventy years old and Hermes Agoraios.‎ Pausanias continues his description by visiting the Gymnasium of Agora's, in which another Herakles made by Skopas stood, nearby was the sanctuary of Herakles whose perivolos was known as "Paidizoi", a place for children to play. Herakles statue had been made from wood, by Laphaes of Phleious in very ancient times.‎ A little further was the sanctuary of Asklepios, whose temple contained the chryselephantine statue of the God made by Kalamis of Sikyon. Inside the sanctuary there was also another temple shared by Apollo Karneios and Hypnos, whose only his head had survived at this time. Pausanias was unable to see the statue of Apollo Karneios because it was forbidden to anyone to enter, except priests.‎ There was another sanctuary near the Asklepios, the sanctuary of Aphrodite, which also contained a chryselephantine statue of the goddess made by Kanachos of Sikyon. It was in the yard of the temple that the rare plant "Paidairos" was growing from which the famous garlands "Iakchoi" were made. Pausanias was told by the Sikyonians that it could grow here and nowhere else. Inside the sanctuary was also a statue of Antiope the mother of Amphion and Zethos, the son of Sikyonian king Epopeos.‎ Pausanias ascending to the Gymnasium of Kleinias, on his right saw the ‎ sanctuary of Artemis Pheraia, the statue of goddess made of wood had been brought from Pherai and in the Gymnasium the busts of Herakles and Artemis.‎ Lastly Pausanias moved towards the Sacred Gate to the eastern site of the plateau, where the main part of the Ancient Acropolis was. The first building he visited near the gate was that of Athena, a very large temple, which had been founded by Epopeos and who had been buried in the front of the altar. By this time the temple had been destroyed and only the altar had remained.‎ Close to the grave of Epopeos were the "Apotropaioi Theoi" (the averters of misfortunes). The neighboring sanctuary of Apollo and Artemis was also made by Epopeos.‎ The near them sanctuary of Hera had been made by Adrastos. Pausanias did not see any images in both of them. Behind the sanctuary of Hera was an altar to Pan and one to Helios (Sun) made of white marble.‎ Pausanias now descended from the plateau to the slope, to see the sanctuary of Demeter which had been founded by Plemnaeis as a thank-offering to the goddess for the rearing of his son.‎ He ascended back to the plateau and near the sanctuary of Hera saw the temple of Karneian Apollo. Only the pillars were standing as also in the temple of Hera Prodromia (Hera Pioneer) which was founded by Phalkes, son of Temenos, who asserted that Hera guide him on the road to Sikyon.‎ From here Pausanias left the city and traveled to Titane.‎ An Olympic Story: Phidippides and the Origins of the Marathon The cities of Greece were at war with Persia and in the year 490 B.C. Greece was not a single country at that time, but rather a collection of sometimes-hostile city-states. City-states include a main city and the area surrounding that city. The Persian Army had already captured a number of Greek islands and continued its expansion. Hoping to take Athens, the Persian Army landed a large force on the plains of Marathon, just outside the city, where they prepared their attack. ‎ The Athenian Army was greatly outnumbered and they knew that they would be unable to survive the Persian attack without help. In desperation, the great messenger Phidippides was sent to the city of Sparta to ask for help. He is said to have travelled the 250-kilometre course in only 36 hours. Sparta agreed to help, but they would be unable to arrive in time to save the Athenians because the Spartans were observing a religious festival. They would arrive long after the battle had been fought. Phidippides ran back, another 250-kilometres, to inform the Athenian generals of the news. ‎ The desperate Athenians, who were outnumbered four to one, organized a surprise attack on the Persian formations, and managed against all odds to defeat them and drive away their enemies. As the legend goes, Phidippides then ran more than 40 kilometres back to Athens to bring news of their victory, and died a short while later from exhaustion. It is after Phidippides?final run, from Marathon to Athens, that the 41.3 kilometre Marathon race is named. ‎ Phidippides The Marathon course of the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games followed the same ‎ route that Phidippides is said to have taken in ancient times, and this same course was taken by runners in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.‎ 二 单元基础知识回顾 Part1 Warming up and Reading Step 1 Think about the following questions about common sense ‎ ‎1.

He was extremely excited, I could tell. Looking up into the cloudy blue sky while I listened to him ramble, I was having a hard time thinking of questions to ask him about his new school. Probably because he was answering every single one of them before I even asked them.‎ Being in America, there were people of many different races and nationalities that lived here, so I decided to ask him about those people there. He loved geography, and if he saw someone who had a different accent or anything of that matter, he would ask them where they were from. It was embarrassing for me, I thought he was being rude and didn't realize it. But the people would always smile and tell him where, whether it be the UK, China, you name it. Afterwards, he would get into his seat in my car and demand that I take him to the library so that he could learn about those places. I would always help, giving him every bit of knowledge he longed for. He would even tell me fun facts, things that I had no clue about. He was familiar with the word‘foreigner’, even though he had no idea what it meant. I sighed and spoke.‎ ‎“So, David, are there any foreigners at your school?” He looked at me with the biggest smile I had ever seen, swinging his legs back on forth on the bench.‎ ‎“No, Daddy. Just kids.”‎ ‎24. What can we learn from the second paragraph?‎ A. The boy was very popular at his school.‎ B. The boy told more than his father asked. ‎ C. The boy asked his father many questions.‎ D. The boy did well in his study at school. ‎ ‎25. Why did the boy ask strangers where they came from?‎ ‎ A. He was curious about them.‎ ‎ B. He wanted to make friends with them.‎ ‎ C. He was interested in their places.‎ ‎ D. He didn’t realize it was rude.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word mean?‎ ‎ A. Talk casually B. Speak in a low voice ‎ C. Sing happily. D. Scream loudly.‎ ‎27. Why did the boy say there were no foreigners in his school?‎ ‎ A. There were no foreign kids in his school.‎ ‎ B. He was lying to his father.‎ ‎ C. He was too careless to notice. ‎ D. He didn’t know what foreigners really mean.‎ C There’s a group of scientists who want you to forget the big clumsy ‎ robots in the science fiction movies of old. Instead, say hello to the updated model: a robot designed to help people who need help the most. In a lab deep in the Silicon Valley, robots are being programmed to do household chores like folding laundry, sorting socks and acting a little more human.‎ ‎“I think robotic technology is awesome!” exclaimed Leila Takayama, who works at Willow Garage, a company that designs and tests personal robots, making them less intimidating.‎ They’re also making them more practical, but it’s not housework that’s placing these robots on the cutting edge. It’s what they’ve done for people like Henry Evans, who at the age of 40 suffered a severe stroke. It left him a quadriplegic（四肢瘫痪的）, able to understand, unable to speak.‎ ‎“I didn’t know what was going to happen. He was literally trapped in his body,” said Henry’s wife, Jane Evans.‎ Evans recently became one of the first to test a personal robot, named “Jake”, donated by Willow Garage to a team of scientists at Georgia Tech.‎ With eye movements and his limited use of one finger, Henry Evans can now program the robot to help him shave, help him scratch, and to get a towel. It takes a lot of work, and time for Henry’s clumsy, 400-pound machine.‎ Charlie Kemp of Georgia Tech says there are important reasons why a robot is preferable to some disabled people than hiring a helper.‎ ‎“It’s the difference between asking someone to do it for you, versus doing it for yourself. People really want to do things for themselves. They want that independence,” Kemp said.‎ For Henry, doing anything independently was once unthinkable.‎ ‎“When you see the sense of satisfaction in his face, I mean, there’s no words to describe it. It’s amazing,” Jane Evans said. “I love the robot!

PET scanners create 3-D images of what is happening in the body.‎ Researchers are calling the large scanner Explorer. It will give medical workers images of what is happening in the entire human body that have never been seen before. PET scanners now give doctors images of only parts of the body.‎ Ramsey Badawi, a radiological professor at UC Davis, says the scanner will give researchers new information about how human organs work together.‎ ‎“We’re a system of organs and all the organs interact with each other. PET scans show doctors how organs and tissues are working on a molecular level. These images help doctors identify and follow diseases. The new scanner will help them do that even better.”‎ Simon Cherry, a biomedical professor at UC Davis, says the PET scans can show the progress of both disease and medical treatments.‎ ‎“With PET scans, we’re actually able to see something about what the cells in the body are doing -- how actively they’re metabolizing(新陈代谢), for example, or how quickly they’re dividing. Take a cancer example. It could be tremendously powerful to see, when you give a drug, whether it shuts down the metabolism of the tumor.”‎ PET scans use a radioactive substance to find tumors. Professor Cherry says the Explorer uses a much lower amount of radiation than current PET tests, and creates images more quickly.‎ A complete view could help researchers develop new medicines that target diseases and parts of the body. It could help doctors reduce harmful side effects by following the movement of medicines through the body.‎ The researchers hope to test the Explorer with humans in three years.‎ ‎32. How will Explore be different from present PET scanners?‎ A. It will create images of what’s happening in the body.‎ B. It will show organs and tissues on a molecular level.‎ C.

They will not suffer side effects of drugs.‎ C. They will be cured of cancer easily. ‎ D. They will be examined more carefully. ‎ ‎34. How will Explorer help doctors?‎ A. Develop new medicines targeting diseases. ‎ B. Get rid of side effects of medicines. ‎ C. Stop the metabolizing of cells in the body. ‎ D. Better identify and follow diseases. ‎ ‎35.
