Unit 18 New Zealand New Zealand Flag Unit 18 New Zealand North Island South Island Wellington (warmer) (cooler) Maori 气温气候 烟波浩渺的南太平洋碧水荡漾，新西兰的南、北二岛似两颗明珠闪耀着晶莹的光泽。有“白云之乡”（The land of the long white cloud）美誉的岛国新西兰，像一叶扁舟漂浮在西南太平洋上。新西兰西隔塔斯曼海与澳大利亚相望，西距澳大利亚160公里，北邻汤加、斐济，扼南太平洋的海、空交通要冲，大小与英国相近，面积为26810平方千米，海岸线长6900千米。四季景色分明，年平均气温12度左右，平均降雨量在1000-2000毫米之间，四季与中国相反。全国约380万人口可谓地广人稀。北岛多火山和温泉. 新西兰的美丽在于她的四季如春。她地处南半球，即使最寒冷的七月和八月，平均气温也不低于摄氏 10度；最炎热的一月和二月，气温则保持在摄氏 25度左右。潮湿温暖的气候使新西兰出落得清新又活跃，无论是茂盛的雨林、清澈的湖泊，还是绿草茵的山坡水清沙白的海滩，无不把宽广的自然空间和优雅的现代化环境结合得恰到好处。 ANAWERS: 1.
