1. Canada is one of the largest countries in the world, second only to Russia, and has always been famous for its fantastic natural scenery.加拿大是世界上最大的国家之一，国土面积仅次于俄罗斯，加拿大素来以其绚丽的自然风光闻名于世。
second only to 意为“仅次于…” 例如：
1).Our city has an area of 20,000 square kilometers, _second only to Nanjing of our province_.

2).I think that, as a writer, he is second to none. 我认为, 作为一个作家, 他是_最好的_。
2. Canada has vast areas of wilderness, from the Arctic , where average winter temperatures are usually minus 20 degrees centigrade, to the 8,892-kilometre-long border with the USA in the south, which is said to be the longest border in the world not defended by an army or the police. 加拿大有辽阔的荒原，北起北极寒地--那里冬天的平均气温通常是零下20摄氏度，南与美国毗邻，边境线长达8892公里，据说是世界上没有军队或者警察设防的最长的边界线。
（1）本句中有两个非限制性定语从句：①where…centigrade修饰先行词Arctic north，②which…police修饰先行词the 8,892-kiilometre-long border。例如：
1）The will fly to Kunming, _where__ they plan to stay for two or three days.
他们将飞往昆明并计划在那儿呆两三天。
2）In the old days, _when __ I was a little boy, the city had no industry to speak of.

4.（1）Montreal, a port in the province of Quebec, is the second largest city in Canada, and also the second largest French-speaking city in the world, Paris being the largest.蒙特利尔，魁北克省内的港口城市，是加拿大第二大城市，也是世界上仅次于巴黎的第二大法语城市。

句（1）中的Paris being the largest是一个独立主格结构。独立主格结构是“非谓语动词”的一种形式，句（2）中的with…to ensure that…也是一种独立主格形式，或称“with复合结构”。这两种结构分别归纳如下：
①“名（代）+介词”作独立结构，在句中可作状语，例如课文中的这一句：
There are old buildings, churches, narrow streets and alleys, _all alongside glass and steel and concrete skyscrapers reading upwards._城里有古老的建筑、教堂、狭窄的街道和小巷，这些全都与用玻璃和钢筋混凝土建成的摩天大楼靠在一起。
独立主格结构主要起状语作用，相当于一个状语从句，多用来表示行为、方式、伴随等情况，有时也可用来表示时间、原因、条件等情况。
②with引导的独立主格结构通常为：
With +名词（代词）+介词短语/形容词/副词/名词/现在分词/过去分词/不定式。例如：
1）He likes sleeping with his door _open______/ with the light __burning__.
他喜欢开着门睡觉/开着灯睡觉。
2）With a book _in his hand___, he came in. 他手里拿着一本书走了进来。
5.Cricket is usually considered a summer sport in Australia, and throughout the country, you will see players dressed all in white, hitting and chasing the ball up and down the pitch.（P15）在澳大利亚板球通常被认为是一项夏季运动。在全国各地，你会看到全身穿着白色球衣的球员在运动场上来回跑动、争抢击球。
consider 用法归纳：
①v. 考虑consider doing sth考虑做某事。例如：
We are considering how to go to Canada. 我们正考虑如何去加拿大。
Have you _considered buying___ a house of your own?你考虑过买一套自己的房子吗？
注意：此时，consider 后不能直接跟动词不定式作宾语。
②v. 认为，把……看做是……
搭配：consider sb/ sth as…=consider sb/ sth to be…=consider sb/ sth adj./n. 例如：
We consider his suggestion _very important____. 我们认为他的建议很重要。
You may consider me _as to be your friend___, for we are all young people.
你们可以把我当成朋友，因为我们都是年轻人。
③considering …就…而论，照…说来，与…比起来，以……看起来。例如：
__Considering the circumstance__, that is not so bad. 照（实情）说，那还算不错。
6. So, while a high percentage of Australians may be people who watch sports rather than do them, as far as most of its population is concerned, it is indeed a great sporting nation！（P15）所以，虽然很大一部分澳大利亚人只观看体育比赛，而不直接参与，但就关注体 育的大多数人口而言，澳大利亚的确是一个运动大国。
