课件13张PPT。Unit 1 Unit 1 A land of diversity 单 元 目 标 锁 定话 题 背 景 链 接East meets West in a unique blend of cultural characteristics in Macau, a destination on the southeast coast of China that holds particular appeal to the US travelers thanks to its accessibility, its dash of Western culture and much, much more.One peninsula and two islands comprise Macau，which may be tiny but is still greatly packed with attractions.Americans interested in innovative architectural wonder will marvel at Buddhist temples, Portuguese piazzas, colonial buildings, fortresses，Chinese gardens and many other spectacular sights.Travelers from the US should be cheered to learn that Macau is not a complicated destination to reach.One of the easiest ways to get there is to fly into Hong Kong and then hop on a high-speed ferry ride that will take you to Macau in under an hour.This way, you don't have to deal with customs.Another option is to fly to Shanghai and then take a two-hour flight from there to Macau.
Many visitors find that the steps they undertake to travel to Macau turn out to be well worth it once they're there.Formerly a Portuguese colony, Macau's historic center was designated as a living representation of the city's historic western settlement.Whether you're interested in walking, shopping, eating or learning about the area's unmatched heritage—which has earned it a designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site—Macau can provide the basis for a breathtaking and most memorable trip.
A diverse selection of shopping options waits the visitors to Macau, too, with wonderful jewelry, silk clothing and a wide series of electronics for sale at reasonable prices and the advantage of duty-free sales.
A trip to Macau is easy to plan.To get started，visit http ：//visitmacauchina.com and make your reservations today for a special trip across the Pacific that you're not likely to forget.文章大意：位于中国的东南沿海兼有东方与西方文化特色的澳门，对游客有着特殊的吸引力。本文为我们介绍了澳门旅游景点的一些情况。
1．American visitors will be amazed at all the following wonders except __________.
A．Willamette Valley B．Portuguese piazzas
C．Buddhist temples D．colonial buildings
解析：细节理解题。根据文中第二段的第二句话可以得知，A项“维拉美特谷”不是澳门的旅游景点，故予以排除。对创新建筑奇迹感兴趣的美国游客会惊叹于“葡萄牙广场”“佛教寺庙”以及“殖民建筑”，故B、C、D三项均符合原文语境。A2．From the passage we know that__________.
A．it will be simple for the US travelers to reach Macau
B．American travelers have to deal with customs in any case
C．visitors find the pains they take to travel to Macau worthless
D．the US visitors can take a four-hour flight from Shanghai to Macau
解析：推理判断题。文中第三段首句提到“Travelers from the US should be cheered to learn that Macau is not a complicated destination to reach.”由此可以得知，来自美国的游客很高兴得知到达澳门的行程不是很难，A项所述符合原文语境。A3．Which of the following has not been referred to in the passage？__________
A．Ways to go to Macau. B．Famous attractions in Macau.
C．Shopping in Macau. D．Cuisines in Macau.
解析：细节理解题。从全文内容可以得知，A项“去澳门旅游的方式”、B项“澳门著名景点”以及C项“在澳门购物的情况”均在文中有所提及，而D项“澳门的菜肴”在文中没有被提及，故答案为D项。D4．Where does the text probably come from？__________
A．A movie review. B．A science fiction.
C．A travel magazine. D．A geographical magazine.
解析：推理判断题。本文第一段提出澳门是东西方文化融合的完美旅游之地，然后从第二段开始逐段介绍去澳门旅游的有利之处，故本文应该节选自旅游杂志。C课件19张PPT。Unit 1 A land of diversity 单元重点知识回顾 Ⅰ.重点单词
