As we all know，there are a large number of cultural relics all over the world.Nowadays，more and more people are interested in the topic about how to protect cultural relics.Cultural relics also have begun to be a hot topic in China today as the balance between developing the nation and keeping traditional culture.This can be seen in the public’s hope to rebuild places of interest.This can be seen in Beijing as traditional courtyards are removed to make way for large，modern buildings.As people gain more money and are able to move around freely in China，they want to protect the relics of their cultural past.People now wish to protect traditional architecture (建筑物) like old city walls instead of knocking them down.Some even wish to rebuild those that have been torn down.The Chinese people show their interest in the folk arts and hope that some new culture exhibitions will be helpful to educate people to protect some cultural relics1.In addition2，Chinese culture is also spreading (传播) in many foreign countries.Chinese studies abroad have increased a great deal as China becomes more of a growing economic and international player.The interest in Chinese relics abroad is also high because so many foreigners come to appreciate Chinese culture every year. 靓句运用于写作

Step 4 Sentence-learning
1．There comes a time when the old must give way to the new，and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future.
[句式分析] 此句中的There comes a time...是倒装句，when引导定语从句修饰先行词a time；and后的句子中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to preserve...；as引导状语从句。 [自主翻译] 新旧更替的时代已经到来，在走向未来的过程中，我们不可能将过去的一切都保存下来。
2．After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem，and citizens who lived near the dam，the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.
[句式分析] 本句中after是介词，后接动名词短语作宾语；两个who引导的都是定语从句，分别修饰先行词scientists和citizens；固定短语turn to...for help译为“向……求助”。 [自主翻译] 在听取了研究这个问题的科学家和住在大坝附近的居民的意见后，政府于1959年求助于联合国。
3．Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past，but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.
[句式分析] not only...but also...不但……而且……，当连接两个句子时，若not only置于句首，句子要用倒装。句中的that did not run over...是定语从句，修饰先行词a path；在but also分句中that引导宾语从句，其中的it是形式主语，代替真正的主语动词不定式to work...。 [自主翻译] 这些国家不仅找到了一条不以牺牲古迹为代价的未来发展之路，而且明白了多个国家合作创造美好未来的可能性。
4．Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO，which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from disappearing.
[句式分析] 句中含有两个定语从句。一个是由which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词UNESCO；另一个是由that引导的限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a programme；prevent ...from...防止某人(事)……。
[自主翻译] 联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)也许是最好的例子，该组织实施了一项计划，防止世界各地的文化遗产消失。
