When the website opens, a picture of the revolving (旋转的) earth will appear against the background of the universe. A click on the Great Wall will bring the earth nearer, and slowly a white line becomes visible across the Chinese territory in the north. A closer view shows that this is the Great Wall. Netizens will be able to appreciate the Great Wall with the eye of a tourist and “walk” from Shanhai Pass in the east of the Great Wall to Jiayu Pass in the west in just a couple of days. They can also take a look at the mineral resources and economic status of regions along the Great Wall. CASS and the Great Wall Society are trying their best to make this dream come true through close cooperation. According to Zhang, to achieve the above effects, scientists will rely on airborne (空中的) remote sensing, national geographical information system and global positioning system to collect detailed data of the Great Wall, analyze and process the data, apply them to satellite images for 3D translation, and thereafter create a 3D digital image of the Great Wall for the entire world to appreciate the really great Great Wall of China via the Internet. 51.

China is to Produce 3D Great Wall B Imagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and don’t know anybody. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a friend who could help you out? John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607, found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas (1595-1617). And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice. Smith was captured by members of Pocahontas’s tribe (部落) and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chief’s daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith (who was probably the first white man she had ever seen) and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in. During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends. A year later Pocahontas’s father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape. Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe. She spent the last year of her life in London. Pocahontas has become an American legend (传奇). Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disney’s 1995 film, Pocahontas. One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority(少数) can adjust into the majority(多数). Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty. 56.

Her complicated life story different from common people’s. D. The recreation of her life story in the 1995 Disney film. (责任编辑：admin) |
