The desert sand can be as hot as 80°C in midsummer. That’s enough to make your feet burn! It may sound crazy, but the locals can cook an egg on the desert sand. Rainfall in Turpan is only 16 mm a year. It is one of the driest places in China. How do people survive in such a terrible climate? The secret lies in the ancient karez system. 国家中小学课程资源 10 1. How hot is it there? The desert sand can be as hot as 80°C in midsummer. 2. How is the rainfall there? Rainfall in Turpan is only 16 mm a year. Read and answer. 国家中小学课程资源 11 The karez system in Turpan includes more than 1,000 wells. They appear every 20-30 metres. Some of them are 100 metres deep! Under these wells are large underground canals. Water from the mountains falls into the wells. It then runs underground in the canals. It is kept cool and safe from the desert heat. There are over 5,00o km of underground canals in the area. That’s nearly as long as the Yellow River! Thanks to the karez system, people can grow plants for food in this difficult environment.And amazingly, all of this was completed with only hand tools! No wonder it’s among the top three projects of ancient China. 国家中小学课程资源 12 1. How does the karez system work? It includes more than 1,000 wells and large underground canals. Water from the mountains falls into the wells and then runs underground in the canals. It is kept cool and safe from the desert heat. 2. How long are the underground canals? They are over 5,000 km long, nearly as long as the Yellow River! Read and answer. 国家中小学课程资源 13 4 Today, the area faces a water shortage. There is less water from the mountains, lower rainfall and a large increase in water use. Although modern technology is solving some problems, the karez system still plays an important role. Now, more and more young people are taking action to protect it. The centuries-old water system will surely be carried into the future. 国家中小学课程资源 14 1. What problem does the area face now?

What can you tell about Turpan from “cook an egg on the desert sand”? It tells us that Turpan is very hot. 3. What’s the meaning of the title? The title means the karez system is like a hidden “river” that brings life to Turpan’s desert. It quietly carries water underground so people can survive and grow food in the terrible climate. 国家中小学课程资源 Think and share. 1. What fact from the passage do you find the most interesting? Why? For me, the most interesting fact is that the system was completed with only hand tools. The canals are so long and there are so many wells. It is difficult to do the work with machines, and using hand tools is even more difficult. 国家中小学课程资源 Think and share. 2. With modern technology, do you think it is still necessary to keep the karez system? Why or why not? I think it is necessary to keep the karez system. Although modern technology can solve some problems, the karez system still plays an important role. It works well and is an important part of our history. We can use both modern technology and the karez system to improve the living environment in this area. 国家中小学课程资源 5.Write a passage about how people change nature. 国家中小学课程资源 The Dujiangyan irrigation system都江堰水利工程 is near Chengdu in Sichuan Province. It was built over 2,200 years ago to solve a water problem: the Minjiang River岷江 frequently flooded the area. Instead of building a dam, Li Bing, the governor, divided the river into channels. This controlled the floods and provided water for farming. As a result, farmers could grow more plants. Today, the system still irrigates over 6,600 square kilometres of land. And it became a UNESCO World Heritage site世界遗产地 in 2000. The system remains important today. It works well and attracts many tourists every year. Without it, life in this area would be much harder. This project shows how we can work with nature for a better life. It also reflects the great wisdom of the ancient Chinese. We must protect it for the future.
