The Genius of Ancient Rome
In the sixth century B. C. , Rome was a minor town in central Italy. Only a few centuries later, it was a bustling city at the center of one of the most powerful empires in history. In its prime, Rome commanded an empire that ringed the Mediterranean. The Roman Empire in- cluded England, much of Europe, most of Asia, west of the Euphrates River, northern Afri- ca, and all of the islands in between. Why did Rome emerge as one of the greatest powers of all times? There are several related reasons.
To forge an empire, a nation needs vast armies that can fight on numerous fronts. Un- like its neighbors, Rome made it a practice to grant citizenship to any non-Romans joining their cause. They also let all citizens share in the spoils of victory. Such an open-door policy created a steady flow of enlistees who had a stake in the outcome of battle. In addition, the Romans developed an open formation of small groups of soldiers, which had two great ad- vantages. Troops could quickly be mobilized and deployed as needed. Substitutions of fresh soldiers could readily be made for dead or wounded ones.
Once a region came under Roman control, it could go about its business under the au- thority of a provincial governor. The Romans found it efficient to have their empire adminis- tered at the local level, rather than concentrating power in Rome. This was not the case with their legal system, however. The Romans unified a jumble of ancient laws and practices into a coherent whole. No longer was the law subject to a variety of interpretations depending up- on who was judging and who was being judged. Rather, the law was predictable and was ap- plied in the same way throughout the empire. The Roman system of governance created sta- bility and produced, through heavy taxation, a steady stream of riches to Rome.
In order to maintain the empires infrastructure (基礎設), the ancient Romans focused on building useful structures. They built bridges, huge warehouses, and aqueducts that car- fled water to the public. They also built apartment buildings, public baths, sewers, and paved roads on which goods or armies could be transported. The Romans creation of ce- ment was important to their architecture. This substance proved to be far stronger than other building materials of the time.
前言/序言
閱讀既是理解和吸收語言文化信息的重要手段之一,又是語言文化信息的最便捷的輸入源。我國教育部新製定的全日製義務教育和普通高級中學《英語課程標準》對學生的閱讀技能從三級到九級提齣瞭明確的要求。在目前國內外的各種英語測試中,閱讀理解所占的比重越來越大。為此,我們特嚮你推薦“中學英語拓展閱讀叢書”(Timed Readings Plus)。本叢書含有以下3個子係列:社會科學(Social.Studies)、自然科學(.Science)及數學(Mathematics),由上海外語教育齣版社從美國McGraw Hill Glencoe公司引進齣版。社會科學和自然科學各有10個分冊,社會科學每冊有24課,自然科學每冊有25課,每課兩篇閱讀材料;數學有5個分冊,每冊有15課,每課兩篇閱讀材料。本叢書語言地道,知識麵廣,信息量大,能有效訓練學生的閱讀理解能力,提高他們的閱讀速度。每課的第一篇閱讀材料篇幅長400單詞左右,側重訓練學生的快速閱讀能力;閱讀理解題則主要檢查學生是否能在快速閱讀後掌握閱讀材料中的事實和材料所傳達的思想。每課中的第二篇閱讀材料較短,著重訓練學生的閱讀技巧,如:從上下文中猜測生詞的含義,找齣作者的觀點,得齣中心思想,排列事件順序,推斷作者的論點等。因此,我們認為它是一套訓練學生閱讀速度及閱讀理解能力並能同時開拓他們視野的拓展型叢書,適閤外國語學校初二及以上年級學生和非外國語學校高中學生課內、外使用。
怎樣使用本係列叢書呢?我們有以下的一些閱讀策略供大傢參考。
1.閱讀時,要集中注意力。
2.用一分鍾閱讀標題,並思考以下問題:我是否瞭解這一話題?我從這個話題中能學到什麼?這個話題引起瞭我怎樣的思考?
3.重點閱讀文章第一句和最後一句,因為第一句和最後一句往往是作者提齣自己觀點和總結全文觀點的關鍵句子。
4.快速閱讀全文以獲得材料所傳達給你的信息。如遇到含有姓名、日期或數字等的內容,你應該放慢速度,以便記住這些內容。
怎樣纔是一個快速閱讀者?
