A land of diversity同步素材（选修8 unit 1)背景文件The MissionsAfter 1769, the life of the California natives who came in contact with the Spanish was reshaped by the mission fathers, not the townspeople of the pueblos or the soldiers of the presidios. The Franciscans came to California not merely to convert the tribes to Christianity but to train them for life in a European colonial society. Conversion was seldom an entirely voluntary process, and converts (neophytes) were not left to return to their old ways but were required to live in the walled mission enclosure or on ranchers, separate settlements sponsored by missions although located some distance from the mission proper. There they were taught Spanish as well as the tenets of their new religion and trained in skills that would fit them for their new lives: brickmaking and construction, raising cattle and horses, blacksmithing, weaving, tanning hides, etc.In theory, the neophytes were to live at the missions only until this process of education was complete. Then they would establish homes in the nearby pueblos. As the native people of one region were Christianized and educated, the missionaries were to move on, leaving the old missions behind to become parish churches as theybuilt new missions in more distant locations peopled by non-converted tribes or "gentiles." In fact, neither the Spanish government nor the Franciscans ever judged any of the neophytes ready for "secularization" or life outside the mission system, and Christian natives or "Mission Indians" and their descendants remained at the missions until the system was abolished in 1834.By then, sixty-five years of exposure to Europeans had reduced the number of California's native peoples by half to about 150,000. Although outright warfare cost few lives, Spaniards had introduced not only Christianity but also new diseases to which the neophytes had no resistance, and thousands died in epidemics. Crowded, harsh living conditions at the missions contributed to the Indians' health problems, and infant mortality and death rates among young children soared. It was the tribes of the coast, the "Mission Indians," who were most drastically affected. Tribes like the Modocs in the northern mountains had little or no contact with the Spanish and suffered little.。

Waves of immigration have occurred for as long as civilization has existed. In the past few centuries immigration has brought new people from other parts of the world to the U．S. These waves are made up of Western Europeans，Central Americans，Asians and other racial groups as well.Many people live in countries with governments and politicians that are corrupt，inefficient or both. Their lives are a daily reminder of the sadness and discomfort that is accompanied by poverty. At times the government controls the job market，barringcertain people from gaining access to certain professions. They can also have too much debt to other nations to help out their own people or invest in resources to gain competitive economic ground. Many nations are in a state of civil war or war with a neighboring country. People in these countries dream of a place where they can live peacefully and feel safe. So they immigrate to America.Some people have immigrated to the states to escape religious persecution. In the Middle East，Christians，Jews and Muslims are still fighting for the holy(神圣的)land which they believe belongs to them. Some immigrate to follow friends and family. Other people are brought here because a US family has adopted them from another place.[知识梳理]Ⅰ. 核心单词一、单词拼写1．It was becoming ________(明显的) to me that she didn't like me.2．The unemployment________(百分率)keeps rising in the recent financial crisis. 3．The________(大多数)of people interviewed prefer watching TV to listening to radio.4．The most popular ________(方式)of transportation are bikes and buses. 5．Rising food prices caused great________(困苦)for most of the people.答案 1. distinct 2. percentage 3. majority 4. means 5. hardship二、单句语法填空1．Her ________(elect)to the board of directors caused great surprise.2．The government announced additional rules on ________(immigrate)．3．People of different races have different ________(race) customs.4．In addition，many people died of the diseases________(bring)by the Europeans. 5．California also has the distinction of being the most multicultural state in the USA，________(attract)people from all over the world.答案 1. election 2. immigration 3. racial 4. brought 5. having attractedⅡ. 重点短语一、补全短语1．live________继续存在；继续生存，靠……生活；以……为主食2．________means of用……方法；借助……3．________addition此外；另外4．fight________与……作斗争5．make ________ life习惯于新的生活方式、工作等6．keep ________坚持；维持；沿袭(风俗、传统等)答案 1. on 2. by 3. in 4. against 5. a 6. up二、用所给短语的适当形式填空rescued.2．In face of the challenge for the moment，it's the most important to ____________ a good state of health.3．He stressed that students should ____________ certain standards of behaviour. 4．The couple lived a poor life and almost no one ____________ like them in this situation.5．In this club，young women members are ____________，so men have not much right to decide on things.6．____________ school books now have pictures，so they look more attractive. 7．The naughty boy got to the roof____________a ladder.8．Lu Han is an excellent dancer, ____________，he is fond of playing soccer.答案 1. live on 2. keep up 3. live up to 4. made a life 5. in the majority 6.

Unit 1 A land of diversity完形填空之利用递进关系解题方法指导在语言表达中,为了表达的需要,经常用到“原词复现(包括派生词)”,即主题词或其他重要词汇一般会在短文中反复出现,考生需要捕捉此信息点。
完形填空有时会对这一阅读技能进行考查。
语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。
语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象,如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现,结构同现,同义同现,修饰同现,因果同现等。
因此,要利用上下文寻找解题信息,确定正确答案。
