NewZealandNew ZealandPage348There are two major islands in New Zealand. What are the main geological characteristics of each?The two main islands of New Zealand are the North Island and the South Island.The North Island: there are many volcanoes and the rich resource of geothermal power. There are also a large number of rivers, most of which are short and swift. Lakes also abound in the North Island, the reason for their formation has to do with volcanoes.The South Island: the largest of all the islands of New Zealand, but it’s not densely populated as the North Island. The South Island is famous for its more than 260 glaciers and the glacial activities in the Southern Apls has resulted in the formation of many lakes.What are the most striking features of New Zealand’ climate?New Zealand has mild temperatures, moderately high rainfall, and many hours of sunshine throughout most of the country. Its climate is dominated by two main geographical features---the sea and the mountains. New Zealand has a typical maritime(海洋性气候) climate, affected by the surrounding oceans and its weather is very changeable.Discuss the reasons why the New Zealand government encouragespeople to immigrate to their country?Maori, the original inhabitants of New Zealand, are thelargest non-Europe group. They are a Polynesian people, whose ancestors first settled the islands in about the year of 1100. Their share of the population declined in the 19th century after European colonization of the island. Large-scale Pacific Island immigration began in the 1960s. East Asian immigration dates back to the 1860s, when gold rushed attracted thousands of Chinese to come. Another wave of immigration began in the 1980s by people from East and Southeast Asia.New Zealand is positive about immigration and is committed to increasing its population by approximately.Page358What do the words ‘Maori’ and ‘Pakeha’ mean?The name “Maori”originally meant “the local people”or “the original people”, while the name “Pekeha” is a term used to refer a New Zealand or European descent, or a non-Maori New Zealand.What’s the difference between dominion and realm?Before 1949, the term “dominion”was used officially to describe the self-governing countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. This was demonstrated in the proclamation of Queen Elizabeth II’s new titles in1953, where she was to be called Queen “of her Realms and Territories”, thereby replacing “dominion” with another mediaeval French word with the same connotation, “realm”(from royaume). Today, the former Dominions of the Empire(including the UK) are known as Realms of the Commonwealth.What does ‘ANZAC’ mean? What is ANZAC Day for?ANZAC is an acronym for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps, honors the nation’s armed forces that have fought inwars.Page 369In what way（s）does the legislative branch of New Zealand differ from that of Australia?The parliament of New Zealand is the legislature of New Zealand. It formally consists of the Queen and the House of Representatives, which means there is only one House instead of two House, where differ from Australia Parliament.The New Zealand government has always attached great importance to foreign trade. Discuss the crucial role foreign trade play in New Zealand’ live?First, one of the most distinctive features of the New Zealand economy isits reliance on international trade to drive growth. Exported goods and services approximately account for a third of the total output of the country. The country is depended on exports to buy imports of oil and a wide range of manufactured and consumer goods.Second, world prices for New Zealand’s primary products have not kept up with the prices of goods since that New Zealand imports. The country has sought to diversity its product offering and trading partners since the early 1970s in response to changing world demand and prices.Third, New Zealand major export destinations are Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and South Korea. The key export groups by order of importance are dairy products, meat, timber, and fish. The main sources of imports are Australia, the United States, Japan, China, and Germany. The most imports are mechanical, vehicles, electrical machinery, and mineral fuels. Imports of unprocessed products, notably metals and unrefinedpetroleum, are also significant.。

《英语国家概况》- Chapter 33 the Making of New Zealand
第三十三章地理和历史新西兰位于南太平洋，在赤道和南极之间的中点上。
从新西兰西北1500公里，跨过塔斯曼海，是澳大利亚。
东面是10600公里宽的太平洋，把新西兰同南美分隔开。
冰封的南极大陆位于新西兰以南2300公里处。
首都惠灵顿的纬度为南纬40°;中国首都北京的纬度为北纬40°。
新西兰的面积与英国或日本相近。
它有两大主要岛屿:北岛，114，500平方公里，南岛，150，700平方公里。
位居第三的是1750平方公里的斯图尔特岛，这是个小岛，位于南岛南部。
北岛和南岛都是狭长形的;从最北端的瑞格角到位于南岛最南端的布拉夫是1770公里。
由于整个国家非常狭窄，所以新西兰的任何地方距海都不超过110公里。
新西兰正好位于国际日期变更线以西的第一个时区，所以它是第一个迎接新一天的国家。
新西兰只有一个时区。
Ⅰ.地形当第一个到新西兰的欧洲人看到南岛的山脉时，他写道:"这是一片高高升起的土地。
"事实上，新西兰3/4的陆地海拔200多米，且多数为丘陵。
然而，在两个岛屿上都有平原。
南岛的东海岸、坎特伯雷区和南部区，都有大片平原。
在北岛的惠灵顿之西北的马那瓦图、奥克兰以南的怀卡托及塔腊纳基区的南部，都有富饶的草场平原。
新西兰全境多山。
一连串的山脉几乎绵亘了整个南岛，最高峰为库克山，高3764米，位于被称为南阿尔卑斯山脉的中部。
山脉把南岛分成东、西两块区域，并且只有四条山谷通道连接东西两区。
南岛西南部，有壮观的冰川，即大片的封冻冰河;南岛北部有马尔巴勒峡湾;在南岛的西南部有米尔福德峡湾。
在新西兰北岛的中央高原矗立着三座火山:高2797米的鲁阿佩胡火山和高2290米的纽鲁霍伊火山都是活火山，偶尔有气体和火山灰喷出。
最后一次导致死亡的火山活动是在1953年，但1995年鲁阿佩胡曾又一次爆发。
第二大火山，汤加里多火山，是死火山。
它已经很长时间没有显示出任何火山活动了。
北岛的中心地带的罗托鲁阿地区和陶泼地区周围，是一个火山地热区，这里有沸腾的泥水池，蒸气不断地从地面的裂隙中逸出，间歇喷泉周期性地把热水喷到空中，还有持续不断地硫磺味。

Historical Background
• The Treaty of Waitangi 1840 ① In 1840, William Hobson negotiated with Maori leaders and signed the Treaty of Waitangi. The Treaty was an agreement between the chiefs of the Maori people and the British Crown on behalf of the whalers, sealers, traders and missionaries who had been settling in New Zealand since the early 1800s. The anniversary of the signing, February 6, is celebrated as New Zealand National Day, Waitangi Day, and is a national holiday.
Climate
1. The climate of New Zealand is generally temperate, but because the country runs north-south, the climate is varied. 2. In the far north it is subtropical（亚热带气候）and in some mountainous areas of South Island it is almost subarctic（亚极地气候）. Rain falls all year, but it rains more in the winter. 3. Partly because it is an island in southern latitudes, New Zealand has changeable weather and it is often windy. 4. The sunniest town in New Zealand, Nelson, receives 2,415 hours of sunshine a year. 5. The highest rainfall is on the west coast.
