Europe is more a reflection of human culture than of the Earth’s geography.Physically,it is little more than a large,irregular peninsula hanging off the enormous(庞大的) Eurasian landmass that stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean.It is less than one-fourth the size of Asia,and only slightly larger than the United States.Of all the continents,only Australia is smaller.Still,Europe’s role in world history has been great.At one time or another,Europeans have controlled the vast majority of land on Earth.As a result,some traces of European culture—languages,customs,or systems of government—are visible nearly everywhere in the world.
Europe’s most important geographical character is that no point is very far from an arm of the ocean.This has been a key to its development,for it has given Europeans easy access to the rest of the world.
Europe is also blessed with a large number of navigable rivers,scoured out of the landscape when the glaciers retreated at the end of the Ice Age.Most of Europe’s major cities,as well as its factories,are on rivers,some of which are fed by the remnants of these glaciers.
There are five basic regions of Europe:Eastern Europe;Western Europe;Southern Europe;
1.Which country in the world can you think of that most have the traces of the European cultures?
2.List several big cities in the world,and find out the relations between its locations and development.
