课件52张PPT。Unit 1 A land of diversityUnit 1 California
California, a state in the western United States, borders the Pacific Ocean. The third largest state in the Union, California covers an area of great physical diversity in which uplands dominate the landscape. The mountains, hills, ridges, and peaks of California border the coastline, rise to nearly 4,600 meters in the towering Sierra Nevada, encircle the great fertile basin of the Central Valley, and separate the desert into innumerable basins. However, despite the physical dominance and economic value of the uplands, California's urban areas and economic production are concentrated in the valleys and lowlands, such as in the huge metropolitan region centered on Los Angeles, the state's largest and the nation's second largest city. Manufacturing, agriculture, and related activities are the principal sources of income. They are based in large part on the state's wealth of natural resources, its productive farmlands, its large and highly skilled labor force, and its ability to market its output both at home and abroad.
The name California was first used to designate the region by the Spanish expedition led by Juan, as it sailed northward along the coast from Mexico in 1542. The name itself was probably derived from a popular Spanish novel published in 1510 in which a fictional island paradise named California was described. The state's official nickname is the Golden State, referring to the gold rush, which played a central role in California's entry into the Union on September 9,1850, as the 31st state. The nickname also suggests the state's golden fields and sunshine.Section Ⅰ　Warming Up and Reading 栏目导航Ⅰ.Read the text and match the main idea with each paragraph.

Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows.（教材P2）
没有人知道第一批开拓者首次到达我们现在称之为加利福尼亚的确切时间。
点拨：这是一个多重复合句：1）主句是no one really knows,exactly when…是know的宾语从句，这是为了强调而将宾语前置； 2） what在本句中引导宾语从句，作介词in的宾语，意为“所……之事”。what用作代词，在意义上译法非常灵活，它可以指“……的东西”“……的人”“……的时间”“……的地点”等；在句法中可以作主语、宾语、表语，相当于定语从句中的“先行词+关系代词”。具体用法如下：
（1）指代“……的东西”，意为“什么；多少；怎么；……的；所……的”，相当于something that。
①You have to consider what you should do next.
你必须考虑下一步该做什么。
（2）指代“……的人”，意为“……的样子；面貌；状况”，相当于the person that/who。

(1)—What a mess! You are always so lazy.
—I'm not to blame, mum. I am how you have made me.
解析：句意(答语)：不要怪我，妈妈。是你把我惯成这么懒，what引导表语从句，在从句中作宾语补足语。make sb.+宾补，使某人怎么样。
(2)Towards nightfall they arrived in which seemed like a valley.
解析：句意：傍晚时他们来到似乎像山谷的一个地方，which哪一个，表示疑问；what引导介词宾语从句，在从句中充当主语。whatwhatPoint ?　It is believed that sb./sth…=
sb./sth.is believed to…
It is believed that before long the mix of nationalities will be so great that there will be no distinct major racial or cultural groups,but simply a mixture of many races and cultures.（教材P3）
人们认为，要不了多久，多种国籍的混合将会非常之大，以至于不能存在一种主要的种族或文化群体，而只是多种族、多文化的混合体。
点拨:It is believed that…是一个常用句型，其中，it 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的 that从句。类似的结构还有：It is said/known/agreed/thought/supposed/reported＋that…
此句型可转化成：sb./sth.is said/known/agreed/thought/supposed/reported＋to do结构。注意不定式时态的变化。
①据说罗伯特明天要出国学习。
It is said that Robert is going to study abroad tomorrow.
→Robert is said to study abroad tomorrow.

(2)_____is reported, a rebuilding project, announced cancelled two years ago, restarted after carefully being studied.
解析：句意：据报道，两年前宣布取消的那个重建项目，经过仔细研究又重新启动了。关键是reported后的逗号，as引导非限制性定语从句，代指后面句子的内容。 to have sufferedAs Unit 1 A land of diversity Section 1 Warming Up and Reading

他在比赛中死亡的消息震惊了我们所有人。二、引导名词性从句的连接词1.that引导的从句如果作介词的宾语，只可用在except，in，but，besides等少数介词后。如：
①I could say nothing but that I'm sorry.
我只能说我很抱歉。
that引导的从句可作it的同位语从句。如：
②You may depend upon it that all the goods will be delivered in time.
请放心，所有的货物都会准时交付。2.that引导宾语从句时通常可省略，作介词的宾语时不可省略，that引导其他名词性从句时一般不省略，特别是引导主语从句且位于句首时。如：
①That the earth is round is true.
地球是圆的（这件事）是真的。
②The fact that he is a thief got around.
他是小偷的事实传开了。
【注意】下面一句中，第一个that可省略，第二个that不可省略：
③He said （that） he had been working here for ten years and that he wanted to go home.
他说他已经在这里工作了十年，他想回家。3.whether与if引导名词性从句时的区别。
（1）在引导宾语从句时whether与if可互换，但如果和or not连用则只能用whether。如：
①I don't know whether or not he can stay here longer.
我不知道他是否能再待在这了。
（2）如果宾语从句是否定结构，则用if而不用whether引导。如：
②He asked me if I wasn't going there.
他问我是不是不会去那里。
（3）介词宾语从句只能用whether引导。如：
③I'm not interested in whether he is rich.
我对他是否富有不感兴趣。（4）引导主语从句、表语从句或同位语从句一般用whether。如：
④Whether it will do us harm or good remains to be seen.
它对我们是有害还是有益，还得等着瞧。
⑤The question is whether you can do it yourself.
问题是你是否能独自做。
⑥The question whether he will come here isn't decided yet.

（5）用it作形式主语时，whether或if都可以引导主语从句。如：
⑦It is not clear to me whether/if he likes the present.
我也不清楚他是否喜欢这礼物。4.注意what/whatever，who/whoever，which/whichever的区别。试比较下列句子：
①Whoever will go to the concert please sign your name here.
=Anyone who will go to the concert please sign your name here.
任何想去音乐会的人请在这里签上名字。
②Who will go to the concert isn't known.
=It's unknown who will go to the concert.
不知道谁要去音乐会。
③He won't believe whatever she says.
=No matter what she says，he won't believe her.
他不相信她说的任何话。
④Whichever toy you want is yours.
=No matter which toy you want，it is yours.
不论你想要哪一个玩具，那都是你的。5.注意how long/how soon/how often/how much的区别。如：
①How long will he stay here?
他将在这里待多久？
②How soon can you be ready?
你多久能准备好？
③How often do you visit her?
你多长时间去探望她一次？
④How much is that dress?
那件衣服多少钱？6.当主句谓语动词表示不肯定或怀疑时，宾语从句用whether/if引导；表示有把握时用that引导。如：
①I doubt whether/if he can win the match.
我怀疑他能否赢得这场比赛。
②I don't doubt that he can win the match.
我毫不怀疑他能赢得这场比赛。7.what与that在引导主语从句时的区别。
what引导主语从句时在从句中充当句子成分，如主语、宾语、表语，而that则不然。如：
①What you said yesterday is right.
你昨天说的是对的。
②That she is still alive is a fact.
她还活着，这是事实。（一）主语从句
主语从句是在复合句中充当主语的名词性从句，通常放在主句谓语动词之前或由形式主语it代替，而本身放在句子末尾。
1.it 作形式主语和it引导强调句的比较
it 作形式主语代替主语从句，主要是为了平衡句子结构，主语从句的连接词没有变化。而it引导的强调句则是对句子某一部分进行强调，无论强调的是什么成分，都可用连词that引导。被强调部分指人时也可用who/whom引导。如：
①It is a pity that you didn't go to see the film.
你没去看那场电影真是遗憾。
②It was Tom that/who told us the news.
告诉我们这个消息的人是汤姆。2.主语从句不可位于句首的五种情况
（1）if 引导的主语从句不可居于复合句句首。如：
有没有人帮过他还不知道。
Whether someone helped him is still unknown.（√）
If someone helped him is still unknown.（×）
（2）It is said （reported）…结构中的主语从句不可提前。如：
据说习主席下周要来我校视察。
It is said that President xi will visit our school next week.（√）
That President xi will visit our school next week is said.（×）
（3）It happens…/It occurs…结构中的主语从句不可提前。如：
他考试没及格。
It occurred to him that he failed in the examination.（√）
That he failed in the examination occurred to him.（×）

他是不是错了，这一点不重要。
It doesn't matter whether he is wrong or not.（√）
Whether he is wrong or not doesn't matter.（×）
（5）含主语从句的复合句是疑问句时，主语从句不可提前。如：
傍晚有可能下雨吗？
Is it likely that it will rain in the evening?（√）
Is that will rain in the evening likely?（×）（二）宾语从句
宾语从句是在复合句中充当宾语的名词性从句，通常放在主句谓语动词（及物动词）或介词之后。
1.作动词的宾语
（1）由that引导的宾语从句（that 通常可以省略）。如：
I heard that he joined the army.
我听说他参军了。
（2）由what，whether，if 引导的宾语从句。如：
She did not know what had happened.
她不知道发生了什么事。
（3）动词＋间接宾语＋宾语从句（此时that通常不省略）。如：
She told me that she would accept my invitation.
她跟我说她愿意接受我的邀请。2.作介词的宾语。如：
Our success depends upon how well we can cooperate with one another.
我们的成功取决于我们的合作情况。
3.作形容词的宾语。如：
I am afraid （that） I've made a mistake.
我恐怕是犯错了。【注意】that 引导的从句常跟在下列形容词后作宾语：anxious，aware，certain，confident，convinced，determined，glad，proud，surprised，worried，sorry，thankful，ashamed，disappointed，annoyed，pleased，hurt，satisfied，content 等。也可以将此类词后的that 从句看作原因状语从句。
4.it 作形式宾语
it不仅可以作为形式主语，还可以作为形式宾语而把真正的宾语that 从句放在句尾，特别是在带复合宾语的句子中。如：
We heard it that she would get married next month.
我们听说她打算下个月结婚。5.后边不能直接跟that从句的动词
这类动词有：refuse， let， like， cause， force， admire，condemn， celebrate， allow， dislike， love， help， take， forgive等。这类词后可以用不定式或动名词作宾语，但不可以用that引导的宾语从句作宾语。如：
我非常羡慕他们赢得了比赛的胜利。
I admire their winning the match.（√）
I admire that they won the match.（×）6.不可用that从句作直接宾语的动词
有些动词不可用于“动词＋间接宾语＋that从句”结构中，常见的有envy，order，accuse，refuse，impress，forgive，blame，denounce， advise， congratulate等。如：
作为一个诚实的人，他给经理留下了很深的印象。
He impressed the manager as an honest man.（√）
He impressed the manager that he was an honest man.（×）
7.否定的转移
若主句谓语动词为think，consider，suppose，believe，expect，fancy，guess，imagine等，其后的宾语从句若含有否定意义，一般要把否定词转移到主句谓语上，从句谓语用肯定式。如：
I don't think this dress fits you well.
我认为这件衣服不适合你穿。
（三）表语从句
表语从句是在复合句中作表语的名词性从句，放在系动词之后，一般结构是“主语＋连系动词＋表语从句”。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be，look，remain，seem等。另外，常用的还有The reason is that…和It is because 等结构。如：
①The question is whether we can make good preparation in such a short time.
问题是我们能否在那么短的时间内做好充分的准备。
②This is why we can't get the support of the people.
这就是我们得不到人民支持的原因。Unit 1 A land of diversity Section 2 Learning about Language

Ⅲ.阅读理解
（2016·黑龙江大庆实验中学月考）Treasure hunts have excited people's imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues(线索) found in a book when he wrote a children's story, Masquerade, in 1979.The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire.The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”, or false clues, to mislead them.
Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years.Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic(逻辑), not by luck.His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start.He had realized that the words: “One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIII's six wives.Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him.Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there.He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him.He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.
Even then his search had not come to an end.It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there.Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure.It was worth 3,000 in the beginning, but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.
1.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to______ .
A.red herrings B.treasure hunts
C.readers of Masquerade D.Henry VIII's six wives
解析：C 词义猜测题。上文提到这本书提供了许多线索给读者，但作者Williams设置了许多假线索，误导读者。故选C。
2.What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare?
A.Katherine of Aragon.
B.Two stone crosses in Ampthill.
C.Williams' hometown.
D.Stevenson's Treasure Island.
解析：A 推理判断题。根据第二段第四句以及下文与Katherine of Aragon有关线索。故选A。
3.Which of the following describes Roberts' logic in searching for the hare?
a.Henry VIII's six wives
b.Katherine's burial place at Kimbolton
c.Williams' childhood in Ampthill
d.Katherine of Aragon
e.stone crosses in Ampthill Park
A.a-b-c-e-d B.d-b-c-e-a
C.a-d-b-c-e D.b-a-e-c-d
解析：C 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容，Ken Roberts根据One of Six to Eight，一步一步被作者引导，其中也有错误的信息线索，故选C。
4.What is the subject discussed in the text?
A.An exciting historical event.
B.The importance of logical thinking.
C.The attraction of Masquerade.
D.A modern treasure hunt.
解析：D 主旨大意题。从第一段的内容可知，本文介绍不一般的探宝经历，刺激真实的探宝与小说相结合。故选D。

（2016·福建厦门双十中学高三热身）The sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze.But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.
Airbnb is an Internet?based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays.Uber is an Internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars.There are hundreds of other such services.
The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources.Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels.Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.
But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention.Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income.But many of Airhnb's customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.
Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and trouble for hosts' neighbors.Hotels are regularly inspected to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don't form other risks for visitors.Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.
Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts.Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never?ending series of noisy visitors.
The same story may apply with Uber.Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis.Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers' ability to earn a minimum wage.
This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesn't mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.
1.What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?
A.It is a global trend. B.It draws on spare resources.
C.It is beyond regulations. D.It brings in modest profits.
解析：B 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知分享经济的优点是优化配置没有充分利用的资源。B项中draw on利用。故选B。
2.What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?
A.They are not regularly inspected.
B.They are likely to commit thefts.
C.They are not allowed to escape taxes.
D.They can be noisy to hosts' neighbours.
解析：D 细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句可知，这种经济下的其他人会因为承担额外的税而有所损失或者被迫与永远不会停止噪音的游客为邻。故选D。
3.What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?
A.Whether it provides reliable services.
B.Whether it lowers customers' expenses.
C.Whether it ensures customers' safety.
D.Whether it can compete with standard taxis.
解析：C 细节理解题。关键审题，关注argument。根据倒数第二段第二句可知人们争辩Uber旗下的车是否安全。故选C。
4.What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?
A.Existing regulations and laws.
B.Necessary improvements of current laws.
C.More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.
D.Further development of Airbnb and Uber.
解析：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，这种网络服务的缺点需要认真对待，但并不意味着现在的税收，监管机构是完美的。所以接下来可能涉及到使不完美的监管机构改善的话题。故选B。

?“The Chinese character “Kong” has been chosen as character of the year for 2011.More than two million Internet users took part in the selection”, said the organizers of the state-backed poll. ?“‘Kong’ generally means ‘control’ and ? replaces 2010's ‘Zhang’ which means ‘price hikes’.”The organizers say the choice symbolizes the government's economic policy,which is aimed at keeping inflation under control.The widespread use of “Kong” by Chinese people when discussing control of the internet,media and society was not mentioned in the official reports.
?The phrase of the year 2011 is “Shang Bu Qi” which means “too delicate to bear a blow”.According to state news agency Xinhua,this choice reveals the public's sensitivity to personal and social problems.
?China's growing importance in globalised world economy was reflected in the choice of “debt” and “euro debt crisis” as the international word and phrase of the year.

(2016·全国卷Ⅰ)I am Peter Hodes, a volunteer stem courier.Since March 2012， I've done 89 trips—of those， 51 have been abroad， I have 42 hours to carry stem cells（干细胞）in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.In all， from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.
I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America.I picked up the stem cells in Providence， Rhode Island， and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the check-in desk at Providence， the lady on the desk said:“Well， I'm really sorry， I've got some bad news for you—there are no fights from Washington.”So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said:“In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please， please， you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.”She just dropped everything.She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me,re-routed(改道)me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.
For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.

(2017·河南八校质检)I have been in Limoges for a month now.Since living here，I have tried to integrate(融入) into the local community and one way I have found to do this is by following the local rugby team.
I decided to look for information on the local rugby team after the tourism office could not help me.I searched for the club office online and decided to look into it.The following day I went back to the club after speaking with them and decided to get a season ticket for the rest of my stay here.I will now be going to each home game as well as travelling to the away games with the team and the fans.I am sure that it is going to be a great experience during my time here.I will also be travelling through various regions of France so I will be visiting new places throughout the season.There is another team in a town called Brive not so far away which plays in the top league in France，but I decided to stay locally.I may go and see them with other assistants if possible during our stay.
I witnessed a friendly match on Saturday.The match finished 70?12.After the match， both teams went to the clubhouse to see the Rugby World Cup semi-final between New Zealand and Australia.Both teams respected each others,which is something you don't always see in other sports.I spoke to the president of the club after the game and he told me，“This is a family club.” Hopefully this year will be a good year for Limoges.
