Unit 5　Canada—“The True North” Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2017·烟台诊断) Ifrane is a small town in Morocco, famous for its European style and its similarity to the tourist resorts (胜地) of Switzerland. Developed by the French in the 1930s, Ifrane is fondly referred to as “Africas Little Switzerland.” The history of Ifrane dates back to around 500 B．C. when it was the capital of an ancient Jewish Kingdom. It was called “Oufrane” then, meaning “caves”. It is believed that Jews fleeing from King Nebuchadnezzar found refuge (避难) there, and in later centuries, Arabs and Romans found their way there too. Later, Ifrane served as an administrative town for the French government. The French were attracted to Ifrane for its cool climate during the summer. They turned the town into an ideal settlement for European families — it was designed to make its foreign inhabitants (居民) feel at home. Therefore, the architectural style and even the trees and flowering plants were imported from Europe. When Morocco gained independence, the locals moved into Ifrane, filling it with a bit of their own culture. They enlarged the town, built a public market, and added other facilities. The famous Al Akhawayn University was founded in Ifrane in the mid-1990s. Many of the old wooden houses have been torn down and replaced with apartments. Still, there are plenty of red roofs dotting the towns scenery. Ifrane is easily accessible by road, making it a popular tourist destination among locals and international tourists. The town is proud of powdery snow in the winters and cool summers, making it an inviting resort all year round. Free of crime and one of the cleanest cities in Morocco, it serves as the winter playground for the wealthy from the nearby cities. For the people of Morocco, the experience of European winter is never too far away! 【文章大意】　本文是一篇说明文。Ifrane这座城市 是摩洛哥的一个旅游胜地，因其欧式风格而出名，有非洲的“小瑞士”之称。文章主要介绍了Ifrane形成这种独特风格的历史原因。让我们一起来领略一下那里的风光吧！ 1．Who were the first to settle in Ifrane?
