These men and women were not ordinary passengers. They were convicts being sent to Australia as punishment for their crimes.Laws in England during that period were very harsh（苛亥ij的），and people were punished severely for even the smallest crimes. A man could be sentenced to death for hunting on another man, s property or he could be put to death for chopping down someone else' s tree. For many other crimes, the punishment was “transportation”. The guilty person was shipped to a distant land where he was forced to work without pay. Often women and children were shipped to other land, too.In 1770, Captain Cook had discovered the continent of Australia and claimed it for England. At first, England found no use for this vast land on the other side of the world, but then the American Revolution took place. England could no longer ship their convicts（囚犯）to the American colonies. So she turned to Australia as a good place for her prisoners.A former naval captain was picked to accompany the convicts to the new colony. His job was to help them build a settlement which he would govern. The captain was glad to go. He believed the convicts could learn to live in peace. He felt they would obey the laws in a new country.In January 1788, the English fleet and its strange cargo （船货）landed in Australia. After days of searching, the captain found a fine harbor. The land nearby had trees and streams. The convict colony made a new beginning here. Australia, s history had begun.Section I Warming Up & ReadingPreparing自主探究-巩固新知自学导引窗口但住新知感懵明其意n重点单词1. brochure n.2. ecology n.3. migrant n.4. tolerance n.5. citizen n.6. autonomous adj.7. celebration n.8. reservation n.9. heritage n.10. splendour n.11. fortnight n.12. cradle n.13. policy n.14. barrier n.重点婚丁1. associate with2. out of respect3. in defence of.4. be adequate for5. be superb to小册子生态学；生态移居者；移民；候鸟宽容；忍受市民；公民自治的庆祝；庆典保留；预定遗产；继承物壮丽；杰出；壮观两星.期摇篮；发源地政策；方针障碍物；栅栏；屏障用其活与联系出于尊敬为辩护适合比优越重点句型仿其神1.
