Unit 5 Canada-“The True North” Period One Warming Up & Reading 话题导入Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages:English and French.There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec—is known as “French Canada”.This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.Canada left the British empire in 1867 to become an independent country,and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country.Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast,French television is very rare.The same goes for ,for example.Outside of Quebec,there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French.And in restaurants,it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of “French Canada”.However,all products sold in Canada must,by law,have labels and instructions in both languages.In Canada’s Englishspeaking provinces,official bilingualism(双语) means that students can choose to complete a special French language course.Under this programme,they are taught most of their subjects in French.If a student begins the course in kindergarten or Grade One,it is likely that all their lessons will be in French.However,if they start at junior high school,25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.根据上文完成下列各题1.Where can you watch French television programmes?In Quebec and a few other places.2.Which country ruled Canada before its independence?Britain.3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.(no more than 5 words) traffic signs and menusPeriod One Warming Up & ReadingⅠ.单词1.v.chat聊天measure测量surround包围2.n.quiz测验minister大臣continent洲,大陆baggage行李scenery风景harbour海港border边界acre英亩eagle鹰3.adj.Canadian加拿大的prime首要的eastward向东的westward向西的upward向上的slight轻微的urban城市的multicultural多种文化的Ⅱ.短语1.与其;不愿rather than2.定居;平静下来settle down3.设法做manage to do4.看见;瞥见catch sight of5.对……有天赋have a gift for1.Rather than take the aeroplane all the way,they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train from west to east across Canada.她们不想一路乘飞机,而决定先飞到温哥华,再从西海岸乘火车横穿加拿大到达东海岸。

为什么加拿大会有郁金香节呢?The Canadian Tulip FestivalEach year in the first week of May, Canada's capital city of Ottawa becomes a flower ocean.These beautiful flowers announce the arrival of spring and the official opening of the Canadian Tulip Festival, which is the world's largest tulip festival.Why does Ottawa celebrate the tulip festival with such enthusiasm(热情)? Thetradition began about 70 years ago. The German army had invaded(侵略) the Netherlands in May 1940, and the royal family was forced to run away from their country. They went first to London then on to Ottawa where they were given Government House as a shelter. In 1943, Princess Juliana's daughter, Princess Margriet was born at the Ottawa Civic Hospital.After the royal family returned to their homeland in 1945, Princess Juliana gave 100,000 tulip bulbs to the Canadian government and the citizens of Ottawa as a reward. This started a tradition and every year ever since, another 100,000 tulip bulbs were sent to Ottawa and planted all around the city. Over the next decade, the Canadian Tulip Festival became bigger and bigger and tourists started making Ottawa their destination(目的地) in early May.根据上文判断正(T)、误(F)1.The Canadian Tulip Festival is the world's biggest tulip festival.( ) 2.The royal family went to London and were given Government House as a shelter.( )3.It was at the Ottawa Civic Hospital that Princess Margriet was born.( ) 4.To thank Canadian government and the citizens of Ottawa, Princess Juliana gave them many tulip bulbs.( )5.In early May, few tourists make Ottawa their destination.( )[答案] 1.T 2.F 3.T 4.T 5.FPart ⅠWarming up, Pre-reading, Reading & ComprehendingⅠ.重点单词1.____________ n.海港2.____________ vi.&n.聊天;闲聊3.____________ prep.在……之内4.____________ adj.城市的;市镇的5.____________ n.边界;国界;边沿vt.&vi.与……接壤;接近6.____________ vi.&vt.测量;衡量;判定n.计量制;计量单位;措施7.____________ prep.&adv.在(船、飞机、火车或公共汽车)上;上(船、飞机、火车等)[答案] 1.harbour 2.chat 3.within 4.urban5.border 6.measure 7.aboardⅡ.词汇拓展1.____________ v.包围;围绕→____________ adj.周围的→____________ n.环境2.____________ n.景色;风景→____________ n.情景,场景3.____________ adv.&adj.向东(的)→____________ adv.&adj.向西(的)→____________ adv.&adj.向上(的)4.____________ adj.轻微的;微小的→____________ adv.稍稍;轻微地5.____________ n.洲;大陆→____________ adj.大洲的;大陆的[答案] 1.surround; surrounding; surroundings2.scenery; scene 3.eastward; westward; upward4.slight; slightly 5.continent; continentalⅢ.重点短语1.与其;不愿________________2.看见;瞥见 ________________3.定居;平静下来;专心于 ________________4.设法做 ________________5.be on a trip to ________________6.have a gift for ________________7.all the way ________________8.be famous for ________________[答案] 1.rather than 2.catch sight of 3.settle down4.manage to do 5.去某地旅行 6.有……天赋7.一路上;自始至终8.因……而著名Ⅳ.重点句式1.rather than... “与其;不愿”________________ take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver...她们不想一路乘飞机,而是决定先飞到温哥华……2.独立主格结构It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, ________________________________.那儿湿度很大,所以树长得特别高,一些经测量高达90多米。

Section I Warming Up & ReadingⅠ.阅读理解AThe first people in Canada crossed the Bering Strait from Asia. In the north the Inuit lived by hunting seals, walruses (海象) and whales. They also hunted caribou (北美驯鹿). On the west coast people hunted deer, bear and beaver (河狸). They also fished. On the plains people lived by hunting buffalo. In the east people grew crops of beans, squash (南瓜), maize (玉米) and sunflower seeds.The first Europeans to reach Canada were the Vikings. In 986 a Viking called Bjarni Herjolfsson was blown off course by a storm and he spotted a new land. However he sailed away without landing. In 1001 a man named Leif Eriksson landed in the new land, which he named Vinland (it was part of Canada). However Eriksson did not stay permanently. Later the Vikings did establish a colony (殖民地) in North America but they abandoned it because of conflict with the natives.However after the Vikings Canada was forgotten until the end of the 15th century. In 1497 the English king Henry Ⅶ sent an Italian n amed John Cabot on an expedition across the Atlantic to Newfoundland. Cabot discovered rich fishing waters off the coast of Canada.Then in 1534 and in 1535~1536 a Frenchman named Jacques Cartier (1491~1557) sailed on two expeditions to Canada. On 10 August 1535 (St Lawrence's Day) he sailed into the St Lawrence River,which he named after the saint.However no permanent European settlements were made in Canada until the early 17th century. In 1603 a Frenchman named Samuel de Champlain (1567~1635) sailed up the St Lawrence River. In 1604 he founded Port Royal in Acadia (Nova Scotia). In 1608 Samuel de Champlain founded Quebec. (The name Quebec is believed to be an Algonquin word meaning a narrow part of a river). In 1642 the French founded Montreal. The new colony in Canada was called New France. By 1685 the population of New France was about 10,000. By 1740 it was 48,000.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了加拿大人口的构成及城市的逐渐形成。
