本期小編帶大家來到“一帶一路”沿線國家—伊朗。波斯是伊朗的舊稱。伊朗的全稱是伊朗伊斯蘭共和國，位于西亞，屬中東國家，是文明古國。

在伊朗南部的設拉子有一座莫克清真寺（Masjed-e Nasir-al-Molk），被譽為伊朗南部最優(yōu)雅、最上鏡的清真寺之一。這座清真寺始建于1876年，與其他清真寺相比，它外墻中的粉紅彩釉格外突出，因此也被稱為粉紅清真寺。每天清晨8點到10點，陽光便正好斜穿巨大的彩色玻璃窗，在波斯地毯上灑下美妙而神奇的色彩和光影，此時你若置身寺內，尤其是當那夢幻般的色彩和光影也投射在你身上時，你可能會忍不住說一句：愿此刻停留。

Mosque 清真寺，也稱禮拜寺，是伊斯蘭教信徒禮拜的地方。清真寺的主體建筑是禮拜大殿，方向朝向麥加克爾白。大殿正面墻中有凹壁，左前方有階梯形講壇。較大的清真寺還有宣禮塔。塔頂呈尖形，故稱尖塔，作喚拜之用。一般清真寺有1～4個尖塔，土耳其伊斯坦布爾的素丹艾哈邁德清真寺有6塔，麥加圣寺有7塔。還有沐浴用的水房。

Persian carpet 波斯地毯，是伊朗著名的手工業(yè)之一，自古就在國際上享有盛譽，以優(yōu)良的質地、古樸雅致的圖案和精美的工藝受到世人的喜愛。據(jù)考證，其編織和生產(chǎn)的歷史至少已經(jīng)有2500年。波斯地毯的一大特色是其染料提取自天然植物和礦石，染色經(jīng)久不褪不變，構圖以抽象的植物、伊斯蘭文字和幾何圖案為主。

名師考點小結

1. 把下面的句子改為同義句。

The bottle is full of water.

The bottle ______ ______ ______ water.

答案：is filled with

【解析】be full of意為“裝滿……”，相當于be filled with（用……填充……）。又如：

The classroom was full of students. 教室里擠滿了學生。

2. Many people like reading newspapers __________ they can learn what’s happening in the world.（2017·山東德州）

A. so that B. ever since C. as soon as D. even though

【解析】句意：很多人喜歡看報紙，目的是了解世界上正在發(fā)生的事情。后句“他們能夠了解世界上正在發(fā)生的事情”是前句“很多人喜歡看報紙”的目的。so that引導目的狀語從句，通常和情態(tài)動詞can、could、may、might等連用。故選A。

3. We should study hard __________ we can get much knowledge.（2017·廣西賀州）

A. when B. so that C. unless D. in order to

【解析】題干選項中，when“當……時候”，so that“以便，為了”，unless“除非”。in order to也是“為了”之意，但是為介詞，不能引導從句。本句為目的狀語從句，故選B。

拓展：so...that...意為“如此……以至于……”，引導結果狀語從句。so后面接形容詞或副詞，例如：

It was so heavy that I could not move it. 這東西太重了，我搬不動。

參考譯文

粉紅清真寺由國王米扎爾·哈?！ぐ⒗锵铝钣?876至1888年間建造，目前仍在使用。該寺是一座傳統(tǒng)的清真寺，但卻是世上最漂亮的建筑之一。

這座清真寺的正面鑲嵌了很多漂亮的彩色玻璃片，玻璃片會把陽光反射到地面上、墻上、拱門上，甚至是參觀者身上！每當陽光穿過那多彩的玻璃，就會在寺內營造出一種萬花筒般的色彩效果，并會投射在寺內的地毯上。寺內地面鋪滿了地毯，因為進入清真寺的人都得先脫鞋。

不過只有清晨才能看到這種陽光穿過彩色玻璃的效果。這座清真寺的設計初衷就是要捕捉晨曦，如果你中午的時候才來參觀，那就太晚了。當晨曦透過彩色玻璃落在漂亮的波斯地毯上時，那景象讓人仿佛置身于另一個世界，像進入夢境般妙不可言。

這座清真寺有很多不同的名字，譬如“彩色清真寺”“萬花筒清真寺”。最為人熟知的還是“粉紅清真寺”，因為寺內使用了大量粉紅的瓦片。
