2001年3月，“伊甸園工程”，一座位于英格蘭康沃爾郡的環(huán)境中心對公眾開放。這座完工的建筑是史無前例的杰作,巨大的多穹窿溫室里種植有來自全球各地的植物。該中心已經(jīng)成為頗受歡迎的旅游勝地，每天吸引著成千上萬的游客。

“伊甸園工程”沿著一個深坑的側(cè)壁而建。該建筑包含三個生物群落區(qū)，用于展現(xiàn)全世界三種截然不同的氣候。TextReadingA“伊甸園工程”沿著一個深坑的側(cè)ReadingA

濕熱帶生物群落區(qū)是給人印象最深刻的展區(qū)，它是一座再現(xiàn)熱帶雨林自然環(huán)境的多穹隆溫室。溫暖潮濕的封閉環(huán)境中種有數(shù)以百計的樹木和其他植物，它們來自南美、非洲、亞洲和澳大利亞等地區(qū)。該穹隆建筑長787英尺(240米)，高180英尺(55米)，最寬處的跨度為360英尺(110米)。TextReadingA濕熱帶生物群落區(qū)是給人印象最ReadingA

游客可以從濕熱帶生物群落區(qū)移步至暖溫帶生物群落區(qū)。暖溫帶生物群落區(qū)是與濕熱帶生物群落區(qū)相同的多穹窿建筑，它里面有來自全世界各地暖溫帶雨林的植物。與熱帶雨林一樣，暖溫帶雨林每年也能獲得大量的雨水，使其成為各種植物理想的生存環(huán)境。但由于暖溫帶雨林與熱帶雨林相比距離赤道較遠(yuǎn)，其氣候有著明顯的季節(jié)變化?！耙恋閳@工程”中的暖溫帶生物群落區(qū)擁有來自南非、地中海和加利福尼亞等暖溫帶雨林的各種植物。TextReadingA游客可以從濕熱帶生物群落區(qū)移ReadingA

“伊甸園工程”的最后一站是露天生物群落區(qū)，這是一片開放區(qū)域，擁有來自溫帶康沃爾地區(qū)以及智利、喜馬拉雅山脈、亞洲和澳大利亞相似氣候條件下的各種植物。游客可以沿著天然小徑蜿蜒穿過30英畝土地，了解在人類歷史中起著重要作用的各種植物。TextReadingA“伊甸園工程”的最后一站是露ReadingA

“伊甸園工程”里總共有100多萬株植物，代表了5000個物種。各生物群落區(qū)內(nèi)的溫度和濕度都受天然能源控制。另外，里面還有一套由鳥類、青蛙、蜥蜴和益蟲等生物控制的綜合蟲害管理系統(tǒng)。TextReadingA“伊甸園工程”里總共有100多萬ReadingA

“伊甸園工程”的創(chuàng)造者們并不僅僅將此處看作是一組溫室。他們中的一位托尼·肯德爾博士將其描繪為“我們探索人與植物相互依存關(guān)系的舞臺……它并非一座主題公園，它內(nèi)容嚴(yán)肅，它立意樂觀，它贊美在可能的未來中善與正面的東西，它啟迪我們重新審視這個世界”。他們的目標(biāo)宣言是“促進(jìn)對植物、人類和資源之間重要關(guān)系的理解，進(jìn)而對這種關(guān)系進(jìn)行負(fù)責(zé)任的管理，引導(dǎo)所有人走向可持續(xù)發(fā)展的未來?！睘榱诉_(dá)到這一目標(biāo)，他們在各生物群區(qū)遍布信息亭和藝術(shù)性設(shè)置。他們還舉辦很多專題討論會和特殊活動，旨在向人們講解環(huán)境問題。TextReadingA“伊甸園工程”的創(chuàng)造者們并不僅僅ReadingATask2NewWordsandExpressionsa.withoutprecedent;neverhavinghappened,beendoneorbeenknownbefore
