2.Why are polar bears getting thinner?
3.Is it good for bears to get thinner? Are they going to die out?
4.Besides polar bears, what other animals does the warming up have effect
on?
5.What are the possible causes of the climate getting warmer? What can be
done to stop it?
Polar bears are getting thinner. It is not a diet and it is not because there is less food to catch. It is because the world is getting warmer.
Giant white bears that live in the north of Canada are at the moment impatiently (1) ice to form. They need the ice to form a "bridge" to their food — seals. Seals usually (2) land among the icebergs. However, as the climate becomes warmer, winter is getting shorter and sea ice is decreasing in the area. This is making polar bears' lives increasingly difficult.
Bears need to eat as much food as possible in the winter to make themselves fat enough to (3) five months without food in the summer and autumn. During the five-month ice-free season, the bears
(4) fast (绝食). "For every week a bear has not been hunting food
on ice, it is 10 kilograms lighter," said a scientist.
The average temperature of the region has risen from 0.3 to 0.4 degrees centigrade since 1950. With the change of the climate, the sea ice is melting earlier in the spring. Thus the hunting season for bears is getting shorter. And the bears, (5) , weigh between 80 and 85 kilograms less than they did in 1985.

V. More language input
At the end of the 20th century, the world is changing in important ways. Until recently, nations acted independently. Each country did its business and tried to solve its problems alone. But now, the economy is worldwide and communications technologies have connected people all over the globe. Many problems are global, too, and can no longer be solved by individual nations.
Environmental destruction is one of these problems. As the world's population has grown and technology has developed, the environment has suffered. Some nations have begun to try to stop the pollution and the environmental destruction. But the environment is global---the atmosphere, the oceans, and many forms of life are all connected. Thus, the solution requires global thinking. The problem of ocean pollution is a good example. All the oceans of the world are connected. Pollution doesn't stay where it begins. It spreads out from every river and every harbor and affects bodies of water everywhere.
For centuries, people have used the oceans as dumping place. Many cities take tons of garbage out to sea and dump it there. The quantity of garbage that ends up in the water is incredible. Five million plastic containers are thrown into the world's ocean. These include human waste and chemicals used in agriculture. And every year, oil tankers accidentally spill millions of gallons of oil into the sea.
Some people believe that the oceans are so large that chemicals and waste will disappear. However, many things, such as chemicals and plastics, stay in the water and create problems. They eventually float to shore and are eaten by tiny sea creatures. Then the larger animals that eat the tiny creatures are poisoned and die. Harbors and coasts around the world have become unsafe for humans or animals. The world's fish populations are rapidly shrinking. Another global pollution, problem concerns the atmosphere. Until recently, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were used around the world in manufacturing refrigerators. Scientists discovered that these CFCs were destroying the ozone layer in the atmosphere. The ozone layer helps protect the earth from the sun's rays. without this layer, most forms of life on earth----including humans----probably would not be able to live.
CFCs will soon be completely banned in the United States and in most
学而思教育·学习改变命运思考成就未来！高考网https://www.doczj.com/doc/836041099.html,
developed countries are some of the most populous on earth, such as India and China. These countries need to change their refrigerator factories to non-CFC processes. But they may not be able to make this change alone. They will need help from the industrialized countries. This is what global thinking means----working together for solutions.

Task 1 The Day After Tomorrow
Directions: Have a look at the introduction to the movie “The Day After Tomorrow”, and try to answer the following questions:
⑴Have you seen the movie?
⑵If so, how do you like it?
⑶What would the world look like if it lost its battle against the greenhouse effect and global warming?
"The Day After Tomorrow (后天)" shows a global disaster and destruction thanks to the weather.
In the movie, Jack Hall, a weather scientist, is the first man to realize that a new ice age is coming. In one of several natural disasters, his son
Sam becomes trapped in New York's Public Library when a tidal wave
strikes the city. He is forced to fight rapidly dropping temperatures and a
pack of hungry wolves escaped from the zoo. Meanwhile, Jack must think
of ways to save his son, himself and the whole world. He must follow a
hard path north, as everyone else races south to live in warmer climes.
This film also brings a direct attack on the refusal of the US government
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放). It is hoped that "The Day
After Tomorrow" may encourage a change in the government's attitude
towards environmental protection.

Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ---- its stadium and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They don't see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.
Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano. Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.
In August of Ad 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in Ad 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20.000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday object, which tell us a great deal bout the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii like wine. They like bread too, metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread - a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
4. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A.To visit the volcano.
B.To shop and eat there.
C.To watch sports and plays.
D.To see how Pompeiians lived.
5. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A.The city nearby offered all kinds of fun..

小学生英语单词拼读拼写能力培养 1、教学现象的反思 现象之一：根据听说领先的原则，人教版小学英语教材从三年级开始使用,在使用之初，在三年级上学期只要求学生能正确听、说、认读教材中的单词和日常交际用语，不做写的要求，并将26个字母的正确抄写放在三年级下学期学习。在教学实践中，本人发现学生在还没有学字母之前，认读单词和句子是学生学习中的最大障碍。很多学生看到图片能说出单词，但看到单词却读不出来，也不知道单词的意义更不会正确地读课文中的日常对话。然而单元考试中，对单词和句子的认读却有着较高的要求，结果常常存在较多的错误。 现象之二：人教版小学英语教材的使用，使得学生在小学阶段所需掌握的词汇量大幅度增加。在学习中，随着所学的单词越来越多，有些学生常常会将一些音、形相近的单词混淆，或是学了新单词，就忘了旧单词。尤其是一些困难生，对单词的读音和字形死记硬背，甚至用汉字给单词注音，不仅读不准音，而且过不久还是会忘记。四年级上册要求学生能听.说.读.写单词,要求是能正确书写。 2、对英语新课程标准的反思 《英语新课程标准》指出：基础教育阶段英语课程的总体目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力。综合语言运用能力的形成建立在语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等素养整体发展的基础上。因此，教师更应该培养学生对单词的拼读拼写能力，逐步改善学生的认知策略、增强读、写技能。如果学生掌握了学习单词的技巧,见词能读，见标能拼，听音能写，那么就能大大提高自主学习能力，从而可以通过多种途径丰富知识，拓展视野同时。 基于以上反思,本人觉得小学阶段培养学生正确拼读.拼写单词的能力尤为重要,那么该如何培养学生正确拼读.拼写单词的能力呢? 所谓单词拼读能力是指：学生能够按照音标注音或按照字母组合的读音规则独立拼读生词的能力。单词拼写能力是指：学生能够按照字母组合的读音规则，根据单词的读音，快速、准确地拼写出该词。本人觉得通过直拼教学法来培养学生拼读,拼写单词的能力. 直拼法是指在没有掌握或不借助国际音标的前提下，把英语的读写与拼写作为一个整体来掌握，按字母、字母组合的发音规律拼读、拼写单词，并把拼读规律内化成知识结构，以培养学生见词能读、听音能写的能力。直拼法能避免传统教学中先学字母名称，按字母名称先后顺序死读、硬背单词的弊端，使学生能根据字母在单词中的发音直接读出单词，学生易学易记，凡是符合拼读规则的单词，学生就能达到“见其形读其音，听其音知其形”。如：在教授bag时，传统的教学法总是采用一种不科学的、死记硬背的拼读法如b-a-g bag。学生要把单词逐个拼读，然后在大脑里转化成各字母在单词里的读音，在这个过程中，由于学生不懂按发音规律拼写，不懂得记忆单词的方法应该与语音相结合。在直拼法中学生可以根据字母b,a,g的发音/b/,/a/,/g/直接读出这个词的音/a/。同样，当教师读出/a/这个音时，学生可以根据发音/b/推断出第一个字母是b，根据/a/推断第二个字母是a，根据发音/g/推断第三个字母是g.所以学生一旦掌握了这种方法，就可以使英语单词音形结合，遇见生单词就能拼读，同时也降低了学生记忆单词的难度 根据学生的认知特点，在教学过程中分阶段侧重，循序渐进来培养学生的拼读拼写能力。 （一）三年级阶段，在让学生模仿和开口说英语之外，应重点让学生从听、说、读、写四个角度掌握英语26个字母，以便为下一阶段拼读拼写英语单词打下基础。 1、通过分解读音，学习字母，感悟字母与音素的联系及音素的拼读方法。在教学字母时，我先让学生自己体会每个字母的读音中所包含的音素，再拼读这些音素。例如：Aa[ei], Bb[bi:],
