It’s approximately four hundred kilometers northeast of Toronto, so it would take too long.” 大约黄昏时分,她们在市区的中国城见到了林菲,这是多伦多三个中国城中的一个。在一个名叫“海珠酒楼”的餐馆里用餐时,表姐妹和许多年前就移居加拿大的林菲闲聊了起来。林菲告诉她们:“我们在这里可以吃到很好的广东菜,因为这里的大多数中国人来自中国南方,尤其是香港。很可惜你们不能一直走到加拿大的首都握太华。它在多伦多东北方约400公里,要去那儿花时间就太多了。” The train left late that night and arrived in White.怀特先生,我会尽快给您确认的。 (2)Once order is received, we shall send an order confirmation by email to confirm your order. 当收到订购指示后,本公司随即以电邮方式确实您的订购。 5.wealthy adj. 富有的 (1)Golf has gained popularity among the wealthy in North America. 高尔夫球已在北美富有的人中流行起来。 (2)It became fashionable for wealthy families to send their grown children to foreign countries. 有钱的人家把他们长大成人的儿女送到国外去受教育已成为当时的时尚。 6.in the distance 在远处 (1)I could see the faint gleam of light in the distance. 我能看见远处微弱的灯光。 (2)The lighthouse of the island gleamed in the distance. 远处岛上的灯塔在闪耀着。 [拓展] at a distance 隔开一段距离,有些距离 from a distance 由远处 Montreal at dawn⑨ the next morning. At the station, people everywhere were speaking French.

Old Montreal is close to the water.” They spent the afternoon in lovely shops and visiting artists in their workplaces beside the water. As they sat in a buffet restaurant looking over the broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with them. 火车在那夜晚些时候起程了,第二天黎明到达了蒙特利尔。火车站里,人们到处说的是法语。指示牌和广告也都是法文的,但有些标注了小字体的英文。刘情说:“我们要到傍晚才动身,不如到市区去走走。蒙特利尔老区是在水边上的。”整个下午她们穿梭于布局可爱的商店,还拜访了水边工作坊里的艺术家。当她们坐在一家自助餐厅里眺望广阔的圣劳伦斯河时,一个年轻人坐在了她们的身边。 “Hello, my name is Henri. I’m a student at the university nearby(10),” he said, “and I was wondering where you are from.” The girls told him they were on a train trip across Canada and that they had only one day in Montreal. “That’s too bad,” he said. “Montreal is a city with wonderful restaurants and clubs.

Prefixes are small groups of letters that you put in front of words to give them different meanings. Suffixes are groups of letters placed after a word to modify its meaning or change it into a different part of speech. 了解一些前后缀可以有助于你猜测词的含义。前缀释放在此前面的一小组字母,它改变词的含义。后缀是放在词尾的一小组字母,它修改词义,改变词性。 EXAMPLES: 示例: ·You can put the prefix super- in front of many words to give them the meaning “more then” or “above”. 你可以把前缀 super-放在许多单词的前面使他们有“超过”或者“在……上”的意思。 supernatural superhuman supermarket superpower superstar 超自然的 超人的 超市 超级大国 超级明星 ·You can change some verbs into nouns with the suffix -ment. 你可以增加后缀-ment把动词变为名词。 advertisement agreement achievement excitement 广告 协议 成就 兴奋 语法讲解 Noun clauses as the appositive(同位语从句) 在主从复合句中,做同位语的句子叫同位语从句。它一般跟在名词之后,用以解释或说明前面的名词的内容。具体用法前参照下表: 能跟同位语从句的名词 fact, news, message, doubt, possibility, idea, reply, reason, belief, hope, thought, promise, suggestion, question 能引导同位语从句的词 连 词 that, whether 不作成分 连 接 代 词 who, which, what 作主语和宾语 连 接 副 词 where, when, why, how 作状语 The idea that computers can recognize human voices surprises many people. 很多人对于电脑能够识别人的声音感到非常吃惊。 The question who should go abroad required consideration.谁出国这个问题还要考虑。 I’ve got a pretty good idea why they quarrel every day.我很了解他们为什么天天吵架。 There is no doubt that the prices of computers will go down. 毫无疑问电脑的价格会下降。 They usually write exact instructions how the music is to be played. 他们通常还要为如何演奏他们的音乐而写出精确的说明。 I have no idea which one is the best. 我不知道哪一个最好。 I’ve got a pretty good idea why they quarrel every day. 我非常了解他们为什么天天吵架。 The question where we should have the sports meeting has not been discussed. 我们还没有决定好在那里召开会议。注意事项: 1. whether可以引导同位语从句,if不能。 I have no idea whether they will give us enough help. 我不知道他们能否给我们足够的帮助。 2.what在同位语从句中要做主语或宾语等成分,that不做成分。 I have no idea what he will give me. 我不知道他要给我什么。 3. advice, suggestion, proposal, request, requirement, decision, order等表示命令、建议和要求的词后的同位语从句用should+do,should可以省略。 The commander gave an order that the troops (should) advance 10 miles. 司令官下达命令叫军队前进10英里。 4.名词doubt(怀疑)后的同位语从句用whether 引导;no doubt(不怀疑)之后同位语从句用that 引导。 We have some doubt whether they can complete the task on time. 我们怀疑他们是否能按时完成任务。 听说读写提升 一、听说功能 本单元学习了表示方向、位置和情感的一些表达方法(Direction, Position and Emotion),请牢记以下一些表达: Where is…? In what direction is…? How do you get to…? How far is…? Is it nearby? Is…close to…? Is…far from…? It’s…kilometers from…to… within…kilometres of… It’s about…kilometres northeast of… …is close to… in the north/south/west/east of… to the north/south/east/west of… on the north/south/west/east of… go eastward/westward/northward/southward across the continent/lake through the forests along the coast/river excited afraid terrified worried tired pleased happy impressed surprised amazed satisfied 二、读写技能 1. 如何做代词指代题 由于代词词性功能的限制,代词所指代的通常为名词、名词性短语或句子,根据指代临近原则可知通常代词指代的对象不会很远,因此考生在作答过和中只需瞻前顾后,考虑代词出现位置的前句和后句,考虑话题的一致性,进行分辩即可推出答案。 The holiday shopping season is once again upon us. The super malls and smaller shopping centers will all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift. The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent shoppers are well aware of this fact. Even if you don’t involve yourself with holiday gift buying, you could end up a victim of theft. Thieves do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper. Thieves only know that there are more potential targets of opportunity this time of year. They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round. They’ll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store to store with so much to do and so little time to do it. Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December. College students are not an exception to the rule! As a member of our university community, you’re also easily influenced by the dangers of mall shopping this time of year. Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls. Close your eyes and think about the overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around. The sights, sounds and distractions all can lull you into a state of personal safety complacency. 【点拨】B本题可根据上文的内容来推测。第二段的最后一句提到“Thieves only know that…”,第三段的前两句都提到they,而这里的they指的就是前面提到的thieves,由此推测划线单词they指的就是thieves。 2. 写作 大学生活即将开始,你将面对新的学习和生活环境,请根据示写一篇英语短文,谈谈你打算如何安排你的大学生活。内容要点应包括: 1. 确定新的学习目标 2. 改进学习方法 3. 学会独立生活 4. 参加各种课外活动 5. 处理好与同学的关系 注意:①短言语的内容要连贯、完整; ②短文单词数:100左右(开头已给出的单词不计入单词总数)。 模板: I will go to college in the near future.

What a huge village Canada is! 单元达标·综合测试 第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节:(共15小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。 A Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia. It stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the high Arctic(北极) to the northern border of the continental U.S.A. Although very much a "northern" country, the geography of Canada is very diverse. As well as the popular image of Canada as a country of forests, there are also deserts and badlands(荒地), rain forests and long and wide beaches. Canada has huge inland lakes, evergreen forests, woodlands and meadows. Canada’s coastlines are thousands of miles long, with long, wild rivers leading to the oceans. In contrast(相反) to the expanses of open country, Canada also has its share of urban areas. The majority of the population and heavy industry is in the two provinces of Québec and Ontario, but large and modern cities are spread across the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific, all within a few hours drive, at most, from the border with the United States. Business is active throughout the country, The Prairie Provinces with their vast fields of grain help to feed the world. The fisheries on both the West and the East Coast are widespread. Oil and natural gas have recently been discovered off the East Coast. The Trans-Canada Highway links the country from coast to coast, there is an extensive(广大的) network of railways, and a widespread network of airline routes serving both major and remote(偏僻的) communities. The rural areas are less populated, with more and more people leaving for the larger towns and cities. The lands to the north are much less developed, but as some of these areas are used for their plenty of natural resources, populations are growing. 21. What does the passage mainly tell us about? A. A general introduction of Canada. B. The size of Canada. C. The population of Canada. D. Some important cities in Canada. 22. What does the word “diverse” probably mean in this passage?

C. the population in rural areas is growing fast D. there are plenty of natural resources in the north of the country B Paris in the Springtime was, is and will be, something rather special. Why not experience it for yourself with this excellent break for four days. This attractive city has something to offer everyone with prices at just 129 pounds and it’s great value too. Your break begins with bus riding and the travel to Paris is via cross-channel ferry(渡船) arriving at your hotel in the evening. The Ibis is an excellent quality hotel with private facilities in all rooms: satellite TV, radio, telephone and alarm clock. It has a bar and restaurant and is situated about two miles south of Notre Dame enabling you to explore Paris with ease. The following day, after breakfast (included), the coach takes you on a comprehensive sightseeing tour of the city, during which you will see the Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, L’Are de Triomphe, the Louvre, in fact almost every famous landmark you have ever heard of. You then leave Paris and take a short drive to the magnificent Palace of Vereailles, the home of Louis XIV . The tour ends mid-afternoon back in Paris where you will have the rest of the day at your leisure. In the evening there is a “Paris By Night” tour showing you the beautiful buildings with bright lights. Day three takes you to Montmatre, perhaps the most picturesque quater of Paris and in the afternoon you are free to explore this beautiful city as you wish, perhaps a pleasure voyage on the River Seine, wander around the picturesque(独特的) gardens or look among the antique shops (古董店). In the evening you will have the opportunity to visit the best night club in the city, the splendid Paradise Latin. On the final day it’s back to the UK via channel ferry. Included in the price of & 129 per person: *Return coach travel to Paris *Return ferry crossings *3 nights accommodation in a twin-bedded room in a Central Paris hotel with private facilities *breakfast during your stay *Guided sightseeing tour of “Paris By Day” and “Paris By Night” *Visit to the Chateau of Versailles(admission not included) *Tour around Montmatre *Services of an experienced bilingual tour guide at all times 25.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. You begin your travel with bus riding. B. The best time to visit Paris is in spring. C. On the final day the channel ferry will take you home. D. You have to pay for breakfast when traveling. C Antarctica is not an easy place to get to, but increasing numbers of people visit Antarctica every year. People join the organized voyage guided by experts that are a mixture of seafarers(海员) and ice and wildlife experts. Passenger ships of many different sizes sail to Antarctica. The choice of ship can make a big difference to your journey and experience. First of all, Antarctic voyages are not like the other, more well-known, trips to warmer climates that have discos and other types of entertainment. The larger the ship, however, the more likely it will be that entertainment is provided. What you will find on the voyage are a number of experienced cruise (乘船游览)guides working on the ship. They will tell you about various aspects of Antarctic history and natural history. Rules made by the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO) cover such things as the size of the cruise ship allowed to enter Antarctic waters and also personal conduct(行为) at landing sites in Antarctica. This is a voluntary organization and it is well respected. You should always make sure that the ship / tour company you use to go to Antarctica is a member of the IAATO. One of the main rules that will affect your visit is that only 100 passengers at any one time may be landed in any one place in Antarctica. If you are on a small ship of up to 100 passengers, then you have the chance to go ashore every time. If the ship is larger, then there will be less opportunity for landings. Surprisingly, though, there are a number of people who go to Antarctica and never leave the ship: the choice is obviously yours. 29. If you want to go ashore as often as possible, you should choose a passenger ship that ______. A. is fully equipped B. is not very large C. is a member of the IAATO D. goes to Antarctica in summer 30. We can infer from the passage that the IAATO ________. A. manages all ships and landing sites in Antarctica B. makes money from the coming and going of ships C. only gives permission to enter the Antarctic to its members D. can help to protect the environment in Antarctica 31. Which of the following statements might the author agree with? A. Few people are interested in Antarctica. B. People should not leave the ship during the trip. C. Ships going to Antarctica should obey certain rules. D. The bigger the ship is, the better you will enjoy your trip. 32. The purpose of this passage is to _____. A. give a brief introduction to the Antarctic B. encourage people to visit the Antarctic C. warn people of possible dangers in the Antarctic D. advise people how to have a good voyage to the Antarctic D You’ve only been to one mountain, but you’ve traveled through four different countries! It is in the Alps, the mountain range that spreads about 1,200 km across Austria, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and other countries in Europe. These mountains offer lots of exciting sports, cultures and food. Sporting life The Alps are sports heaven. There are activities for everyone, from beginners and onlookers to championship-level competitors. During the summer, hiking in the Alps allows you to challenge yourself on endless trails. And you needn’t climb the highest peaks to enjoy the freedom found in the silence of the woods. You can also find romance on a walk under a full moon, or enjoy the pleasures of a picnic in a sunny field full of wild flowers. Like to bike? The Alps are home to many great trails with fast downhill rides---perhaps in the world’s most exciting terrain. Skiing is something that you can’t miss in the Alpine winter. Beginners can learn their skills with special lessons. The experts can experience complete freedom on wonderful slopes. It’s possible to ski or ride for days, from village to village or from country to country. The land is so vast that you will never take the same slope twice. Once you have skied in the Alps, you will never be satisfied with any other mountains, ever. Culture and arts Here are friendly bars bursting with jazz music and world-famous operas and museums. The Alps are rich in history, tradition and culture. It would be impossible to describe all of the concerts, ballets and gallery openings that happen during a single year. One of the best ways to experience the richness and depth of the artistic life is to attend any one of the many festivals. Unique events include the Salzburg Festival, held in Salzburg, Austria. One of the most famous theatre and music festivals in the world, it runs from July through August. Food and drink The Alps can please every taste, with all sorts of dishes from Italian pasta to rich Austrian desserts. Vegetarians will be happy with the wide variety of choices, while others will find it hard not to eat the creamy meat and mushroom-filled pies found in Switzerland. But everyone will appreciate the Alpine alcohol--either the fine wines in Italy, or the beers in Germany and Austria. 33. One thing that makes the Alps different from other mountains is that ___.

The answer is obvious certain. I still remember, when I just begin to study English, the teacher asked me introduce my family. I said “My family has five people”, which I later knew it should be expressed in this way: There are five people in my family. Actual, cultural difference does not just exist in expressed styles, but in history, customs, ways of thinking and so on. Only when they know clearly about the differences as good as the background of English cultures can we study English well. 第二节:书面表达 (满分25分) 加拿大高中生David在互联网上登出启事notice,希望结识一位中国朋友,以便学习中国的语言、文化。 假设你是李华,请在看到这则启事后,用英文给David发出一封电子邮件。主要内容包括: 1. 你怎样得知他的愿望 2. 你愿意成为他的朋友 3. 你打算如何帮助他 4. 你盼望他的回复 注意:词数:100词左右 Dear David, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________ Yours, Li Hua 单元达标能力测试答案 单元达标·基础训练 I.单词拼写 1. slightly 2. continent 3. border 4. terrified 5. wealthy 6. confirm 7. mixture 8. measure 9. chat 10. tradition II.动词填空 21. surrounding 22. slightly 23. settled 24. terrified 25. wealthy 26. boarding 27. farther 28. distance 29. east/eastward 30. dozen III.同义句转换 21. rather than 22. northward 23. across 24. too slow to 25. settled down IV.短文填空 26. discovering 27. beyond 28. across 29. named 30. to explore 31. to expect 32. sailed 33. reaching 34. called 35. referred 单元达标·综合测试 第二部分:阅读理解 第一节: A 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了加拿大的地理位置、地理状况以及其资源。 21.
