However, in 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico and after itlost the war, Mexico had to give California to the United States.3. Although Chinese immigrants began to arrive during the Gold Rush Period,it was the building of the railway from the west to the east coast that broughteven larger numbers to California in the 1860s.4．Now that you have read the text, you know a lot more about the pictures onpages 1-3.AidsMultimedia facilities, tape-recorder, photos, diagramsProcedures1.

It is by far the most populousstate in the U.S., as well as the most physicallydiverse, with the highest and the lowest points inthe lower 48 states located within 150 miles ofeach other. If California were an independentnation, it would have the fifth largest economyin the world (after the rest of the U.S., Japan, Germany, and Britain; see economy of California). The state's official nickname is "The Golden State" in reference to California's 1849 Gold Rush. [1] California's U.S. postal abbreviation is CA, and its Associated Press abbreviation is Calif.2. Pre-reading by discussingLook at the pictures on page 1. Discuss them in pairs.The famous Hollywood sign, a symbol of the city's world famous entertainment culture.Silicon Valley is a commonly used nickname for the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in northern California, USA, originally referring to the concentration of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually becoming a metaphor for the entire concentration of high tech businesses.3.

Book8 unit1 A Land of Diversity本单元目标聚焦1.了解美国的多样性，树立跨文化意识。

2.复习名词性从句。

3. 学会描写某一地方的短文。

学法导引朗读和背诵是学好英语的好方式。

可以先朗读背诵优秀句式，再朗读优美文章。

这样既能纠正发音，效仿良好的语音语调，又能加强记忆培养语言能力。

林语堂先生对英语学习有一句名言：学习英语的唯一正轨，不出仿效与热颂。

本单元涉及了文化的多样性，而语言是文化的载体，学习语言不仅是学习语言的形式和意义，同时也是在不断的接受着某种文化。

近年来，高考加强了对情景类交际试题考查。

要做好这类题，就要熟悉中英文化的差异，掌握不同民族的交际习惯，提高跨文化交际的能力。
