Explain in your own words.
Write three or four sentences.
Compare your answer with others in your class.Explanation 1. California is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population.
加利福尼亚是美国第三大洲, 但是人口最多。注意
(1) 对人口提问用what, 不用how many, how much。
　　What’s the population of the city?
这个城市有多少人口？ (2) population 作主语时用单数，但前有分数，小数，百分数时，谓语动词用复数。
The population of China is larger than that of America.
中国人口比美国人口多。
80% of the population are farmers.
百分之80的人口是农民。 (3) 人口的增加或减少用grow (increase) 和 fall (decrease); 人口的多少用large和small。
There has been a rapid increase in population in the city in the last few years.
近几年该城市人口增长很快。 2. This is not surprising when you know the history of California, which, at various times, has attracted people from nearly every country in the world.
当你了解了加利福尼亚的历史时, 这就不足为奇了。它在不同的时期吸引了几乎来自世界各个国家的人们。 1）句中which引导非限制性定语从句修饰先行词California, 且在定语从句中作主语。
注意:
which引导限制性定语从句时，通常可与that换用，但引导非限制性定语从句时不能用that。 which 在非限制性定语从句中除指代前面的先行词之外，还可指代前面的整个句子，或句子的一部分。
　 The house, which we bought last month, is very nice.
这幢房子很漂亮，是我们上个月买的。
He seems not to have grasped what I meant, which greatly upsets me.
他似乎没抓住我的意思, 这使我心烦。2）辨析: nearly与almost
almost与nearly意思相同, 当与动词, 副词, 形容词和名词连用时, 这两个词可以互换。如：
It’s almost (nearly) three o’clock.
差不多三点了。 但almost可以与no, none, nothing, never等词连用，但nearly不可以。如：
Almost no one believed her.
几乎没人相信她。
She said almost nothing．??
她几乎什么也没说。
I almost never see her．??
我几乎总看不到她。 nearly前可以和not连用，not nearly是“远不如”的意思，但almost不和not单独连用。more, than, too用nearly,不用almost.
　 The problem is not nearly so difficult to work as you think.
　 这道题远不像你想的那么难解。
The bike is pretty nearly new.
这辆自行车相当新。 3. Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows.
no one really knows 是主句, exactly when… California是know的宾语从句。what we… California是宾语从句, 作介词in的宾语。 4. However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago.
但是美洲土著居民有可能至少一万五千年前就在加利福尼亚居住了。 1) sb./sth. is likely to do sth.
某人/某物有可能做某事
It is likely/probable/possible that...
有可能
It is possible for sb. to do sth....
有可能做...2) 辨析：likely, possible与probable
possible指客观上有可能性，但往往含有希望很小的意味；probable比possible可能性稍大，有“较为可能、大概”，指有实际依据；likely是从外表迹象判断有可能发生的事。 probable: 句型为 It is probable that…
possible: 句型为 It’s possible (for sb.)
to do sth;
It’s possible that…
likely?的主语可以是人，而possible与probable的主语不能是人。? Is?he?likely?to?win??
他有可能获胜吗？?
　 It’s possible, though not probable, that he will come tomorrow.
他明天可能来, 但也不一定准来。5. Scientists believe that these first settlers crossed the Bering Strait from Asia to Alaska by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. 科学家们相信这些最初的定居者是通过史前存在的陆路桥, 穿过白令海峡从亚洲到阿拉斯加州。by means of… 用……办法, 借助He couldn’t speak, but made himself understood by means of signs.in this wayby this methodin this manner强调的是用简便的方法, in有时可以省略强调做事、行为的方式、方法 有条理的办事方法 6. In the 16th century, after the arrival of Europeans, the native people suffered greatly.
在16世纪, 欧洲人到来之后, 当地人陷入了极大的苦难。vi. 受痛苦；受损害
vt. 遭受；忍受suffer 辨析：suffer与suffer from　
suffer (vt.) 和suffer from的区别: suffer 指一般的损害、痛苦等等, 其宾语为pain, loss, grief, insult, punishment, wrong, hardship, injustice, discouragement, disappointment, setback (挫折)，但suffer from表示遭受战争，自然灾害带来的苦难及患病之意。 suffer the result /heavy losses /injuries承受结果/遭受大损失/负伤
suffer from headache/illness/war/the flood
遭受头痛/疾病的困扰/战争/ 洪水 辨析：die from, die of
die of 死于疾病、饥饿, 多指内部原因。
die from 常用死于创伤、交通事故, 多指外部未知原因。7. In addition, many died from the diseases brought by Europeans.
除此之外, 许多人死于欧洲带来的疾病。 die of cancer/hunger/sorrow/thirst/
old age
死于癌症／饥饿／悲痛／干旱／衰老
die from a wound/overwork/an unknown cause
死于外伤／过度劳累／不明原因
