Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia. It is larger than the USA and reaches nearly a quarter of the way round the earth. The distance from east to west is over 5,500 kilometres and the country covers six of the worlds 24 time zones. However, its population, about 33.8 million, is only about onefifth of Russias.Nearly 90% of Canadians live within 200 km of the border with the United States, which means that Canada contains vast expanses (寬闊的區(qū)域) of wilderness to the north. Canadas native peoples make up less than two percent of the population.The weather is different from area to area. In the north, the winters are long and hard, with snow for six months of the year. The temperature can fall to 60 . The west coast of Canada is the warmest place in winter. The average January temperature is 3 ， and in July it is 18 . Here it rains a lot every month of the year. Plants grow well all the year round and the parks and gardens are famous for their flowers.Canada has one third of the worlds supply of fresh water. There are five great lakes in the south, and there are many others, especially in the north. Most of the electricity is produced by water. The country hasa great deal ofcoal, oil and natural gas, and these are all exploited(開發(fā)) for energy.2019-2020年人教版高中英語(yǔ)必修三教學(xué)案：Unit 5 Section 1(含答案)原文呈現(xiàn)讀文清障A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH”Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Montreal on the Atlantic coast. 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. The thought that they could cross the whole continent was exciting.Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport. He was going to take them and their baggage to catch “The True North”， the crossCanada train. On the way to the station, he chatted about their trip. “Youre going to see some great scenery. Going eastward， youll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, youre in Canadas warmest part. People say it is Canadas most beautiful city,surrounded by mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Skiing in the Rocky Mountains and sailing in the harbour make Vancouver one of Canadas most popular cities to live in. Its population is increasing rapidly. The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres.”THE TRUE NORTH有兩個(gè)含義：一是它的本義“真正的北方”，即加拿大是地球上最北端的國(guó)家之一；二是指橫貫加拿大東西部的一列火車的名字。be on a trip to去某地旅行(表狀態(tài))go on a trip to去某地旅行(表動(dòng)作)on the Atlantic coast在大西洋海岸上rather than與其；不愿連接兩個(gè)并列成分；rather than位于句首時(shí)，其后跟不帶to的不定式。that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句，說(shuō)明thought的具體內(nèi)容。continent/kntInnt/n.洲；大陸baggage/bId/n.行李luggage n行李“一件行李”用a piece of baggage/luggage表示。chat/tt/vi.&n.聊天；閑聊chat with sb.(have a chat with sb.)與某人聊天scenery/sinrI/n.景色；風(fēng)景指一個(gè)地區(qū)總的自然風(fēng)光，可能包括多個(gè)scene?，F(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)going eastward作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。eastward/istwd/adv.向東adj.向東的；朝東的eastward也作eastwards，注意不能說(shuō)go to eastward。surround/srand/vt.包圍；圍繞be surrounded by被包圍/圍繞過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)surrounded by .作定語(yǔ)，修飾city，相當(dāng)于一個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。harbour/hb/n.(harbor)海港in the harbour在海港one of Canadas most popular cities to live in加拿大最受歡迎的居住城市之一，作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。此處to live in作定語(yǔ)，修飾cities。measure/me/v.測(cè)量；衡量；判定n.計(jì)量制；計(jì)量單位；措施It is so . that ., some measuring .是主從復(fù)合句，so . that“如此以至于”，引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)從句；some measuring .是獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明extremely tall。 “真北方”之旅第12段譯文李黛予和她的表妹劉倩要去加拿大大西洋海岸的蒙特利爾市看望她們的表兄妹。她們不想一路乘飛機(jī)，而決定先飛到溫哥華，再?gòu)奈骱０冻嘶疖嚈M穿加拿大到達(dá)東海岸。要橫貫整個(gè)大陸的想法很是令人興奮。她們的朋友林丹尼正在機(jī)場(chǎng)等候她們。他要帶著她們和她們的行李去乘坐橫越加拿大的“真北方”號(hào)列車。在去火車站的路上，他聊起了她們的旅程?！澳銈儗?huì)看到一些美麗壯闊的風(fēng)景。一路向東行，你們會(huì)經(jīng)過(guò)一座座山脈，上千個(gè)湖泊、森林，還有寬闊的河流和許多大城市。有人想在不到5天的時(shí)間里穿越加拿大，但是他們忘了加拿大從東海岸到西海岸共有5 500千米的事實(shí)。這兒，溫哥華，是加拿大最溫暖的地方。人們說(shuō)它(溫哥華)是加拿大最美麗的城市，被大山和太平洋環(huán)繞。在落基山脈可以滑雪，海港供你們揚(yáng)帆，這些使得溫哥華成為加拿大最受歡迎的居住城市之一。這個(gè)城市的人口增長(zhǎng)很快。在溫哥華北面的海岸上保存著一些世界上最古老、最美麗的森林。那兒濕度很大，所以樹長(zhǎng)得特別高，一些經(jīng)測(cè)量高達(dá)90多米?！盩hat afternoon aboard the train， the cousins settled down in their seats. Earlier that day, when they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they managed tocatch sight of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle. Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous for the Calgary Stampede. Cowboys from all over the world e to pete in the Stampede. Many of them have a gift for riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars in prizes.After two days travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty. At school, they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometres of the USA border， and that Canadas population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such an empty country. They went through a wheatgrowing province and saw farms that covered thousands of acres. After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes. The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes. Because of the Great Lakes, they learned, Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world. In fact, it has onethird of the worlds total fresh water, and much of it is in the Great Lakes.That night as they slept， the train rushed across the top of Lake Superior, through the great forests and southward towards Toronto.aboard the train(介詞短語(yǔ))登上火車aboard/bd/prep.&adv.在(船、飛機(jī)、火車或公共汽車)上；上(船、飛機(jī)、火車等)settle down定居；平靜下來(lái)；專心于manage to do設(shè)法做manage vt.努力；設(shè)法；經(jīng)營(yíng)；管理；控制try to do努力做(不一定成功)catch sight of看見；瞥見grizzly bear灰熊eagle/il/n.鷹stampede/stmpid/n.大西部賽馬會(huì)cowboy/kabI/n.牛仔；牧童have a gift for有天賦within/wIIn/prep.在之內(nèi)既可以指時(shí)間，也可以指空間。border/bd/n.邊界；國(guó)界；邊沿vt.&vi與接壤；接近on the border of接近；臨近slightly/slaItlI/adv.稍稍；輕微地be amazed to see驚訝地看到go through在此處意為“穿過(guò)”，還作“經(jīng)歷；遭受；仔細(xì)檢查；完成”講。acre/eIk/n.英畝urban/bn/adj.城市的；市鎮(zhèn)的反義詞：rural adj.農(nóng)村的；田園的Thunder/nd/Bay桑德灣sail up沿向上游航行that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句，說(shuō)明fact的具體內(nèi)容。Canada has more . than any other .中比較級(jí)表達(dá)最高級(jí)含義。as they slept是as引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。across表示在物體表面上穿過(guò)，強(qiáng)調(diào)橫向跨過(guò)，從一端到另一端。through則強(qiáng)調(diào)在一個(gè)有障礙的空間里穿過(guò)。第35段譯文那天下午表姐妹倆登上火車落了座。那天早些時(shí)候，當(dāng)她們穿越落基山脈時(shí)，她們總算看到了一些野山羊，甚至還看到了一只灰熊和一只鷹。她們的下一站是卡爾加里，這個(gè)城市因“大西部賽馬會(huì)”而聞名。來(lái)自世界各地的牛仔們來(lái)參加賽馬會(huì)比賽。他們中許多人都有騎野馬的才能，他們能贏得幾千美元的獎(jiǎng)金。兩天的旅行以后，這兩個(gè)女孩開始意識(shí)到加拿大人煙稀少。她們?cè)趯W(xué)校就已經(jīng)學(xué)過(guò)，大多數(shù)加拿大人居住在靠近美國(guó)幾百千米以內(nèi)的邊境地帶，加拿大的人口也只有三千萬(wàn)多一點(diǎn)兒。但是現(xiàn)在看到這么空曠的國(guó)家，她們很驚訝。她們穿過(guò)一個(gè)種植小麥的省份，看到了面積有數(shù)千英畝的農(nóng)場(chǎng)。晚飯后，她們又回到城市，位于五大湖區(qū)最北端的繁忙的港口城市桑德灣。海輪可以航行到五大湖，讓表姐妹倆感到吃驚。她們知道，因?yàn)槲宕蠛?，加拿大的淡水比世界上任何其他?guó)家都要多。事實(shí)上，加拿大擁有全世界總淡水量的三分之一，其中大部分都蓄在五大湖里。,那天夜里她們睡著了，火車越過(guò)蘇必利爾湖北部，穿過(guò)大森林，朝南向多倫多飛馳著。PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.1continentA聊天；閑聊2chat B洲；大陸3scenery C測(cè)量；衡量；判定4surround D景色；風(fēng)景5measure E包圍；圍繞6aboard F邊界；國(guó)界7within G向東(的)8border H在(船、飛機(jī)、火車或公共汽車)上； 上(船、飛機(jī)、火車等)9baggage I在之內(nèi)10eastward J行李15_ 610_答案：15BADEC 610HIFJGLeadin1Which is the national flag of Canada?2Which is the national flower of Canada?3Which is the capital city of Canada?4Which is the national animal of Canada?答案：14ACDAWhilereadingFastreadingMatch the main idea with the proper paragraph.(1)Para.1AThe train rushed towards Toronto.(2)Para.2 BLi Daiyu and her cousin were on a trip to Canada.(3)Para.3 CCanadas border, population, agriculture and lakes.(4)Para.4 DTalking something about Vancouver its position; scenery; population, etc.(5)Para.5 ECalgary is famous for the Calgary Stampede.答案：(1)(5)BDECACarefulreading()Read the text quickly and plete the route of the trip.答案：(1)the Rocky Mountains(2)Thunder Bay(3)the Great Lakes()Choose the best answers according to the text.1Why are the cousins not flying direct to the Atlantic coast?ABecause they have not so much money.BBecause they want to take the train to have a good view of Canada.CThe aeroplane is so fast.DThe distance from the west coast to the east isnt so long.2What makes Vancouver so special?AIt is surrounded by mountains on the north and east.BIt is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on the south.CIts population is decreasing very rapidly.DPeople can ski in the Rocky Mountains and sail in the harbour.3What do cowboys do in the Calgary Stampede?AThey have a gift for riding wild horses and win thousands of dollars in prizes.BThey were dancing with wild animals.CThey came here to show their beauty and win the heart of girls.DThey hunt for mountain goats and grizzly bears.4Which sentence about Canada is NOT true?AVancouver is the warmest part of Canada.BCanada is bigger than America and is the second largest country in the world.CPeople can cross Canada in less than five days.DMost Canadians live within a few hundred kilometers of the US.A border.答案：14BDACStudyreadingAnalyze the following difficult sentences in the text.1Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast.句式分析嘗試翻譯有人想在不到5天的時(shí)間里穿越加拿大，但是他們忘了加拿大從東海岸到西海岸共有5_500千米的事實(shí)。2At school, they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometres of the USA border, and that Canadas population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such an empty country.句式分析嘗試翻譯她們?cè)趯W(xué)校就已經(jīng)學(xué)過(guò)，大多數(shù)加拿大人居住在靠近美國(guó)幾百千米以內(nèi)的邊境地帶，加拿大的人口也只有三千萬(wàn)多一點(diǎn)兒。但是現(xiàn)在看到這么空曠的國(guó)家，她們很驚訝。3They went through a wheatgrowing province and saw farms that covered thousands of acres.句式分析嘗試翻譯她們穿過(guò)一個(gè)種植小麥的省份，看到了面積有數(shù)千英畝的農(nóng)場(chǎng)。.閱讀理解AI picked up my two best friends and we were off on a road trip. I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a fourhour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St Catherines Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both_men_and_women_look_like_they_stepped_out_of_the_pages_of_a_magazine.All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy (肉汁). It is delicious.However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest Frenchspeaking city in the world. But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night wed head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者在加拿大蒙特利爾的經(jīng)歷。那里寒冷的天氣、人們?nèi)霑r(shí)的服裝、美食、著名歷史景點(diǎn)等都給作者留下了深刻的印象。1How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?AThe men and women are really the fashion models of a magazine.BThe portraits of the men and women are printed in the magazine.CThey are so well dressed that they look like models in a magazine.DThe men and women like to copy characters in magazines.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)該段中的“how well everyone dressed”可知，在作者看來(lái)，蒙特利爾的人穿著時(shí)尚，像雜志里的模特。2Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraphs 3 4?AThe author and his friends couldnt wait to explore the city.BThe author wasnt used to the weather of Montreal.CThe citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.DMontreal often holds fashion shows.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句話中的“. we were immediately walking .”可知作者和他的朋友迫不及待地想?yún)⒂^蒙特利爾。根據(jù)第四段中的“To hide from the cold .”可以推知作者并不適應(yīng)那里的寒冷。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句可知蒙特利爾的人們非常注重著裝。D項(xiàng)文中未提及，故選D。3What can we infer from the passage?AThe author often went to China for a visit.BThe people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.CAll the people in the diner were locals.DThe author went to Montreal on business.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中“But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.”可推知作者及朋友在餐館碰到的人非常友好且樂(lè)于助人。4Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.BThe author took a trip to Montreal the third largest city in Canada.CMontreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.DMontreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future .”可知，蒙特利爾既有往昔的風(fēng)采，也有現(xiàn)代的氣息，由此可確定答案為D。BCity of Winnipeg details on Thanksgiving hours for facilities and services.Swimming PoolsAll City of Winnipeg indoor swimming pools will be closed on Monday, October 12 with the exception of the Pan Am Pool and the Cindy Klassen Recreation plex.On Monday, October 12, the Great Pan Am Pool will be open from 10：00 am. to 2：00 pm., and the Cindy Klassen Recreation plex will be open from 2：00 pm. to 6：00 pm.

In the north the Inuit lived by hunting seals, walruses (海象) and whales. They also hunted caribou (北美馴鹿). On the west coast people hunted deer, bear and beaver (河貍). 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 sent an Italian named 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 153536 a Frenchman named Jacques Cartier (14911557) sailed on two expeditions to Canada. On 10 August 1535 (St Lawrences 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 (15671635) 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.語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文，講述了加拿大人口的構(gòu)成及城市的逐漸形成。8In which part of Canada did people grow crops?AIn the north.BIn the east.COn the west coast.

Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: we need to think about what kind of future wed like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation. _3_How about the virtual (虛擬的) worlds? It might be possible in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. _4_ So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, itll never take the place of the mon experience if its not real._5_ What well see in the next 50 years is the transition (過(guò)渡) from an oildependent society to a new soc
