The First People in New Zealand
Located to the east of Australia,New Zealand is a living land,as the locals call it.
The Dutch navigator Abel Tasman was the first European to discover the existence of this new land in 1642.
Tasman's journey was not a success:the Maori natives appeared from the beaches and approaching the ship,started to sing their chants.
Tasman replied what he thought was a greeting with the ship's band,not knowing that in this way he was accepting the bellicose(好战的) challenge being offered by the efore,the sailors were killed.
New Zealand was effectively discovered for the first time by Captain Cook.
Cook's landing was more fortunate than Tasman' fact,the English navigator took some Polynesian interpreters with him to the landing,through whom he showed his own friendliness to the Maoris.
After a long and arduous(艰难的) voyage across the Pacific on board canoes,the Maori tribes were the first real colonizers of New Zealand,arriving here from the islands of Polynesia around a thousand years es made the Maoris' life on the new island possible.
The Maritime Museum is a special space that is reserved for the restoration and exhibition of old Maori boats,both originals and replicas(复制品).
In the 19th century,the English settlers reached New English people,given the times and the maturing of world public opinion,wanted a soft colonization(殖民本质),different from the one in nearby Australia,which was internationally condemned(谴责) because it was greedy and New Zealand,unlike Australia,the English did not enslave the natives or steal their land.
The tribes emphasized their own previous arrival in this land by calling themselves ,they still follow the traditional culture and customs.
There is a Maoris' typical meeting house where in older times,but still today,the tribes got together to celebrate their rites and to make important political decisions.
Here,the native population decided to merge(合并) with the first English settlers into a single the first elections,which were held in 1890,all citizens over the age of 21 years old,Maori and white,were given the e years later,women obtained the right to vote for the first time in history.
In New Zealand those who wish to combine a profound anthropological(人类学的) experience with caring for the body,can benefit from the hospitality(好客) of large family communities.
They show the typical way of cooking the food in pits filled with glowing stones.
The raw food,in general chicken,fish,pork and vegetables is steamed,and the emphasis is on abundance rather than appearance.
The Hangi,the typical Maori meal,which is seen above all as a form of conviviality(宴饮) and is accompanied by songs from the native tradition.
At the end of the banquet(宴会),a rugby match,a fine burst of movement helps the digestion(消化):this sport is one at which the Maoris are masters.
The land,which was enjoyed only by the Maoris more than 300 years ago,has become a multinational(多民族的) modern eful co-existence among the races benefits the development of New Zealand.

四、能力训练
(一)单句改错
se compare this sentence to that one.
简析：把to改为with。compare…to…是“把……比作……”的意思，而compare…with…是“把……同……相比较”。本句题意是“请把这个句子同那个句子相比较。”故用compare…with…。
much is the population of this city?
简析：How much改为what或How large。在英语中，对“人口”进行提问，应用what或How large。
majority of young people likes pop music.
简析：likes改为like。the majority(of…)作主语，谓语动词常用复数。
a is about the same size that America.
简析：that应改为as。the same…as是“同……相同”的意思。根据题意“中国与美国的面积大约相同”。故应用as。
island lies on the northwest coast of Alaska.
简析：将on改为off。在谈论位置时，on强调接壤，off则是“在离……不远处”的意思。根据题意是指“在离阿拉斯加西北海岸不远处”的意思，故应用 off。
(二)翻译填空
1.好习惯应该早期养成。
Good habits should be formed__________ __________ __________ __________.
答案：at an early age
2.5岁以下的小孩仅占总人口的20%。
Children below 5 years old__________ __________ only 20 percent of the total population.

答案：of great use
6.他的谈话结束了。他该走了。

答案：it was time
五、高考真题
1.(2002春季高考)Who is it up__________the first company__________is run by the state?
take charge of;which
to take charge of;that
to take charge of;that
to taking charge of;which
简析：选B。因“该由某人负责干某事”是一个句型，即It is up to do sth.。在第一空中，是对sb.进行提问，所以不能省掉to。虽有两个to,但它的意义不同。而第二个空是需填入一个关系代词并在从句中用作主语，that和which虽然都有此功能，但当先行词前有序数词修饰时，则常用that而不用which，故第二空应填that。根据题意“这个州开办的第一家公司该由谁来负责呢？”所以选B。
2.(NMET 2001)The Parkers bought a new house but__________will need a lot of work before they can move in.
h
简析：选B。本题考查代词it的用法。根据题意“帕克斯夫妇买了一套新房，但在他们搬入之前还需大量的工作。”故选it来代这套房子。A选项指人，不合题意；C项是替代可数名词单数，相当于a/an+ n.;D项是关系代词，引导定语从句的。它们都不切题意。
3.(NMET 2000)-Why don't we take a little break?
-Didn't we just have__________?
简析：选C。因为it指代同名同物，不合题意。that一般用于特指，相当于the+ n.。one是代替可数名词单数的，相当于a/an+ n,而该句中需要填入的正是一个表泛指的代词来替代a little break,故选C。D项不合题意，可排除。
4.(NMET 2002)Meeting my uncle after all these years was an unforgettable moment,__________I will always treasure.
简析：选B。“one”在此相当于“a moment”,作“an unforgettable moment”的同位语；one后又接了一个省去that的定语从句，补充说明这一难忘时刻。
5.(2000 上海)Someone is ringing the and see__________.
is he he is
is it it is
简析：选D。此题考查了两点：一是名词性从句的语序问题；再一点就是考查it的用法。此处用it代指不明身份的人。
6.(2001 上海)In fact__________is a hard job for the police to keep order in an important football match.
e
简析：选D项。因为it在句子中用作形式主语，真正主语是to keep order in an important football match.又根据句意：事实上，在一场重要的足球比赛中，对于警察来说，维持秩序是一件很难的工作。故而选D。
