Module 2Unit 2 They have seen the Pyramids. 埃及金字塔是世界著名的建筑奇迹之一，它是用巨大石块修砌成的方锥形建筑物，因形似中文“金”字，故称作“金字塔”。 课堂探究 埃及金字塔建造于几千年前。金字塔是国王的坟墓。国王认为他们死后会复活。他们希望当他们复活时，他们的身体能完好地保存在金字塔里。金字塔位于尼罗河西岸，离开罗不远。古老的埃及人把日出比作生命的起点，把日落比作生命的终点，所以几乎所有的金字塔都建在尼罗河西岸。 人们已经在埃及发现了大约110座金字塔。最大的是大金字塔。大金字塔花了大约30年才建成。它由230多万块大石头组成。每块石头大约重2.5吨，有些甚至重达 15吨。 The company has offices in many countries，and it has sent Peter to work in Germany，France and China before.这家公司在很多国家有分公司，它曾经派遣彼得到德国、法国和中国工作。(→教材P12) 如：She sent me to pick up her son last week. 上周她派我去接她儿子。 Please send me a book.＝Please send a book to me. 请寄给我一本书。 ( ) (1) The boss sent his workers ________ in big cities.
