Wonders of the world
新外研英语 九年级上册
救世基督像（ Christ the Redeemer ）位于巴西的里约热内卢，落成
于1931年，总高38米，体积庞大，有1145吨重，左右手的指间距
达到了23米。雕像中的耶稣基督身着长袍，双臂平举，深情地俯
瞰山下里约热内卢市的美丽全
景，预示着博爱的精神和对独
立的赞许。耶稣像面向着碧波
荡漾的大西洋，张开着的双臂
从远处望去，就像一个巨大的
十字架，显得庄重、威严。耶
稣基督的身影与群山融为一体，
一些云团不时飘浮在山峰之间，
使耶稣像若隐若现，使他显得
更加神秘圣洁。
马丘比丘（Machu Picchu），是秘鲁一个印加帝国的遗迹，全部建筑都是磨光的规则形状的墙，以及美妙的接缝技巧，墙上石块和石块之间的缝隙连匕首都无法放进去，让人简直无法理解印加人是究竟如何把他们拼接在一起的。至今无人明白印加文明是如何能将重达20吨的巨石搬上马丘比丘的山顶。整个遗址高耸在海拔2350—2430米的山脊上，俯瞰着乌鲁班巴河谷，也是世界新七大奇迹之一。
古罗马露天竞技场(Colosseum)，意大利罗马市中心，是古罗马时期最大的圆形角斗场，建于公元72至82年间,由4万名战俘用8年时间建造而成。斗兽场的看台每层80个拱，形成三圈看台逐层后退，形成阶梯式坡度。每层80个拱形成了80个开口，最上面两层则有80个窗洞，整个斗兽场最多可容纳5万人，却因入场设计
周到而不会出现拥堵混乱。
表演区地下隐藏着很多洞口
和管道，可以储存道具和牲
畜，以及角斗士，表演开始
时再将他们吊起到地面上。
斗兽场甚至可以利用输水道
引水。公元248年在斗兽场就
曾这样将水引入表演区，形
成一个湖，表演海战的场
面，来庆祝罗马建成1000年。
佩特拉是约旦的一座古城，位于海拔1000米的高山上 。佩特拉城隐藏在一条狭窄的峡谷内。建筑物雕凿在悬崖峭壁面内，其房间也隐没在岩石之中。所有建筑都在玫瑰色的山岩上开凿而成。它是约旦南部沙漠中的神秘古城之一。
