高中英语Unit5Canada“TheTrueNorth”PeriodOneWarmingUp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。

A device that can create water out of thin air even in dry environments has been ing only the power of the sun and a special material with some unusual properties(特性)，the device can produce 2.8 litres of water in 12 hours.And it can work in condition where humidity(湿度) is as low as 20 percent.Professor Omar Yaghi，a chemist at the University of California，Berkeley，who helped create the device，said，“We wanted to show that if you are cut off somewhere in the desert，you could survive because of this device.A person needs about a can (330ml) of water per day.That is something one can collect in less than an hour with this system.This is a major breakthrough in the long-standing challenge of getting water from the air at low humidity.”But，as well as saving people’s lives in a desert，the harvester could become a major part of everyday life，enabling people to have water without a connection to the public supply or a well.The device，described in a paper in the journal Science，uses a type of metal-organic framework，or MOF，which Professor Yaghi invented 20 years ago.So far，more than 20,000 different kinds of MOFs have been created each with different properties.Some can capture(俘获，夺得) carbon dioxide from chimneys，while others can separate out different types of oil.Professor Yaghi teamed up with Professor Evelyn Wang，an engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology，to create the effective device with the help of colleagues.“This work provides a new way to harvest water from air that does not require high relative humidity conditions and is much more energy-efficient than other existing technologies，” Professor Wang said.阅读短文，判断正(T)误(F)1．The new device may save a person when he/she gets lost in the desert.(T)2．It was Professor Omar Yaghi that invented the device on his own.(F)Period One Warming Up & Reading—Pre-reading匹配左边的单词与右边的汉语意思[第一组]1．patent A．产品2．courtyard B．专利证书；专利权3．distinguish C．宽大的；仁慈的；慈悲的4．merciful D．院子；庭院；天井5．product E．显示……的差别；使……有所不同；辨别答案 1.B 2.D 3.E 4.C 5.A[第二组]6．stainless A．突然的；意外的7．abrupt B．小心；谨慎8．convenient C．无锈的；不锈的；没有污点的9．caution D．预料；期待；期望10．expectation E．便利的；方便的；就近的答案 6.C7.A8.E9.B10.D[第三组]11．passive A．愉快的；高兴的12．merry B．抓住；捉住；夺13．seize C．被动的；消极的；被动语态的14．criterion D．有效的；确凿的15．valid E．(评判的)标准；尺度答案11.C12.A13.B14.E15.DStep 1Fast-readingⅠ.What’s the main idea of the passage?A．How to trap the snakes without hurting them.B．How to apply for a patent.C．The writer’s new idea of trapping the snakes and her application for a patent.

China's new“ Four Great Inventions” were recently announced, with hybrid rice(杂交水稻), Chinese character laser printing(汉字激光打印), synthetic bovine insulin (合成牛胰岛素)，and artemether compound tablets against malaria making the cut(防治疟疾的复方蒿甲醚片)．China's “New Four Great Inventions” were voted for by both the public and experts in line with the requirements that they be creative and original, have worldwide significance and have a big social impact.60 percent of the votes were cast online，while 40 percent were taken from experts.On top of the list is hybrid rice , which was first developed in 1973 by Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, who was called the “Father of Hybrid Rice”．The new breed has enabled China to solve its long standing food problem and contribute a great deal to the world food industry.Another major breakthrough, the techniques for Chinese character laser printing, was developed by late scientist Wang Xuan, known as “Bi Sheng, Father of Printing in Modern Times”．His techniques were first introduced to newspaper printing in December 1987, which brought abouta revolution in the printing and publishing industries.Wang Xuan's invention promoted the spread of Chinese culture and had a far-reaching impact on the printing industries of other countries，including South Korea and Japan.Synthetic bovine insulin was fully developed in 1965 following 6 years of hard work by a group of Chinese scientists.It marked a significant breakthrough in the field of life science and hasgreatly influenced human endeavors in finding out the secrets of life.Artemether compound tablets, which were first developed in the mid-1980s by Chinese scientists, have proved to be the most effective anti-malaria medicine worldwide.With their brand-new chemical structure first discovered by Chinese，they are often compared to “Atom Bombs”，a milestone in the history of man's fight against malaria.Notes1．significance/sɪg'nɪfɪkəns/n.重要性，意义2．breed/briːd/n.品种3．breakthrough/'breɪkθruː/n.重大进展，突破4．revolution/ˌrevə'luːʃn/n.革命5．endeavor/ɪn'devə(r)/n.努力6．structure/'strʌktʃə(r)/n.结构，构造7．milestone/'maɪlstəon/n.里程碑Period One Warming Up，Pre-reading & ReadingⅠ.单词检测1．patent n．专利证书；专利权2．distinguish v i.& v t.显示……的差别；使……有所不同；辨别3．merciful adj.宽大的；仁慈的；慈悲的mercy n．仁慈；宽恕4．product n．产品produce v．生产production n．生产；产品producer n．生产者；制造者5．abrupt adj.突然的；意外的abruptly ad v.突然地；唐突地6．convenient adj.便利的；方便的；就近的convenience n．方便；便利7．caution n．小心；谨慎cautious adj.小心的；谨慎的8．expectation n．预料；期待；期望expect v．预期；期盼9．passive adj.被动的；消极的；被动语态的active adj.(反义词)积极的10．merry adj.愉快的；高兴的merrily ad v.愉快地；高兴地11．seize v t.抓住；捉住；夺12．criterion n．(pl criteria)(评判的)标准；尺度13．valid adj.有效的，确凿的14．file n．文件；档案；文件夹；v t.提交；将……归档15．ripe adj.熟的；成熟的ripen v．熟；成熟Ⅱ.短语检测1．decide on 决定；选定2．call up 给……打电话3．now and then偶尔；有时4．far from 远离；远非5．get rid of 摆脱；去除6．set about 开始；着手Ⅰ.阅读课文，匹配各部分大意Part Ⅰ (Para.1)A A．The discovery of the problem of the snakes.Part Ⅱ (Paras.2～3)C B．The requirements of getting a patent.
