Unit7 Section A 2b

Listen again and fill in the blanks in 2a with the numbers in the box.

Mike：Hi, I’m Mike. I’m from the United States.

Boy：Welcome to our class, Mike. We’re happy to meet you.

Mike：Can you tell me a bit more about China?

Girl：Sure! Did you know that China is one of the oldest countries in the world? It’s over 5,000 years old.

Mike：Yes, I did. It’s much older than my country—in fact, the United States is one of the youngest countries in the world. It’s not even 300 years old.

Boy：And China has the biggest population, too. It’s a lot bigger than the population of the United States.

Mike：But China is about the same size as the US, right?

Girl：Yes, and it’s the biggest country in Asia. We also have some famous rivers. The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia. It’s about 6,300 kilometers long.

Mike：Wow! I didn’t know that. I thought the Yellow River was longer.

Boy：No, the Yellow River is 5,464 kilometers long. But both rivers are very important to China.

再听一遍录音，用方框中的数字填写2a中的空格。

迈克：你们好，我叫迈克。我来自美国。

男孩：欢迎到我们的班级来，迈克。见到你我们非常高兴。

迈克：你们能告诉我关于中国更详细的情况吗？

女孩：当然可以！你知道中国是世界上最古老的国家之一吗？它有5 000多年的历史。

迈克：是的，我知道。它比我的国家历史更悠久。事实上，美国是世界上最年轻的国家之一。它的历史甚至不到300年。

男孩：中国也是人口最多的国家，它比美国的人口多得多。

迈克：但是中国和美国差不多大，对吗？

女孩：是的，它是亚洲最大的国家。我们也有一些著名的河流。长江是亚洲最长的河流。它大约6 300千米长。

迈克：哇！我不知道。我原以为黄河更长。

男孩：不，黄河5 464千米长。但是两条河对中国都非常重要。
