2017-2018学年高一英语(北师大版) 必修三全册教学案Killer whales have the secondheaviest brains among marine mammals (after Sperm whales, which have the largest brain of any animal). They can be trained in captivity (囚禁;关押) and are often described as intelligent, although defining and measuring “intelligence” is difficult in a species whose environment and behavioral strategies are very different from those of humans.Killer whales imitate others, and seem to deliberately teach skills to their kin. Off the Crozet Islands, mothers push their calves onto the beach, waiting to pull the youngster back if needed.People who have interacted closely with killer whales offer numerous anecdotes demonstrating (证明) the whales' curiosity, playfulness, and ability to solve problems. Alaskan killer whales have not only learned how to steal fish from Iong lines, but also have overcome avariety of techniques designed to stop them, such as the use of unrated (未分级的;未征税的) lines as decoys. Once, fishermen placed their boats several miles apart, taking turns retrieving (恢复;取回) small amounts of their catch, in the hope that the whales would not have enough time to move between boats to steal the catch as it was being retrieved. A researcher described what happened next: The killer whale's use of dialects and the passing of other learned behaviours from generation to generation have been described as a form of animal culture.Section_ⅠWarmup__&_Lesson_1_—_Prereading[原文呈现]VIKING VOYAGES①TO AMERICAThe Vikings②were the first Europeans to reach America③.

Known for his jumping ability, Oxygen, a Czech, who jumped a nearly 10foot wide abyss (深渊). Today, Petr Kops, 21, is wearing Oxygen's pants. “I did not know Oxygen personally, but my sister did,” Kops said. “I wear his trousers for good luck.”Minutes later, Kops was standing at th e edge of a 70foot abyss called Broken Bones.While it may seem suicidal (自杀的), jumping across a gap is actually an extreme sport that is gaining in popularity. Called rock jumping, or simply jumping, this activity is taking place in the AdrspachTeplice Rocks, a remote nature preserve in the northeast part of the Czech Republic. Known for its 11 square miles of sandstone, the region has been loved by lifelong rock climbers. “The aim is to get to the top of as many towers as you can.” said Vladimir Prochazka, known as June Bug, a 59yearold climber and a collector of Czech rock climbing histories.Jumping is often the most possible way to get to the tower. In most cases, climbers jump with a rope tied around their waist. If they miss the landing —which is not uncommon —they will fall into the wall of the base tower. “Jumping requires fearlessness,” Prochazka said. “Broken or damaged bones are fairly common.” Still, there are those who prefer to experience by jumping without a rope. Among the most wellknown of these adventurers are Petr Prachtel and his wife, Zorka, who helped create the sport in the 1960s. They pioneered countless jumps, sometimes without the safetyof a rope.1.What does “pants” probably mean in the first paragraph?A.Shoes. B.Trousers.C.Jackets. D.Shirts.2.Why did Petr Kops wear Oxygen's trousers?A.Because he knew Oxygen very well.B.Because Oxygen was good at wearing.C.Because he wanted to be lucky.D.Because Oxygen had poor jumping ability.3.Rock jumping is ________.A.becoming less and less popular for it is so far awayB.too dangerous to attract any peopleC.appeared in the southeast part of the Czech RepublicD.loved by people who can face the danger答案:Ⅰ.1.adventure 2.presenters 3.horizon 4.organisations 5.extra 6.desert 7.luggage 8.altitude 9.footprint 10.maximumⅡ.1.took off 2.went down 3.right now 4.differs from 5.thinking aboutⅢ.1.not only; but also 2.Although in poor health 3.Once a worker 4.When very young 5.While at collegeⅣ.1.walking 2.down 3.for 4.experienced 5.but 6.including fortable 8.from 9.into 10.tryingⅤ.语篇解读:小男孩被送去寄宿学校,他认为没人爱他,所以成绩下降。

Our ancestors, navigating rough seas, created sea routes linking the East with the West, namely, the maritime Silk Road. These ancient silk routes opened windows of friendly engagement among nations, adding a splendid chapter to the history of human progress. The thousand-year-old "gilt bronze silkworm" displayed at China's Shaanxi History Museum and the Belitung shipwreck discovered in Indonesia bear witness to this exciting period of history.女士们、先生们、朋友们!2000多年前,我们的先辈筚路蓝缕,穿越草原沙漠,开辟出联通亚欧非的陆上丝绸之路;我们的先辈扬帆远航,穿越惊涛骇浪,闯荡出连接东西方的海上丝绸之路。

That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways. To fight the problem, several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation’s capital has created a garden on the top of one school building. The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time. Architect David Bell has designed five “green roofs” for the university. He says he is excited about the project because “it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management. It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren’t doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture.” Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden. The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.In cities, “you don’t have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) space,” says Caitlin Arlotta. She is a student in the school’s Urban Agriculture program. The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops. The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries, tomatoes and sweet potatoes. The university also has other green spaces. “We also have our own farm experiments,” Arlotta said. “Within each of those growing systems, we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best.”Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC’s Master Gardener program. It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners. She says she’s been surprised by the garden’s output. “My biggest surprise was that we produced 4, 250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need.” She also likes being able to show people who live in D. C. and others beyond the nation’s capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop. “This is the future for food. You grow it here, you prepare it in a commercial kitchen, you distribute through farmers markets, food trucks, and then you recycle.”1. What do we know about the rooftop gardens?A. Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighborhoods.B. There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.C. They’re playing an important role in the city’s food supply.D. Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A. Rooftops can offer enough space to plant crops.B. Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.C. Some university students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.D. The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.3. How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?A. Confident.B. Doubtful.C. Worried.D. Ambiguous.4. What is the best title for the text?A. Rainwater Necessity for Plant LifeB. Green Roofs-The Future of Urban AgricultureC. The United States’ Agriculture ProgramD. Rooftop Gardens-Food ParadiseBSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists don’t dispute (质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.5. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?A. Help increase grocery sales.B. Recycle the waste material.C. Stop things falling off trucks.D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.6. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Bans on plastic bags.B. Effects of city development.C. Headaches caused by garbage.D. Plastic bags hung in trees.7. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?A. They are quite expensive.B. Replacing them can be difficult.C. They are less strong than plastic bags.D. Producing them requires more energy.8. What is the best title for the text?A. Plastic, Paper or NeitherB. Industry, Pollution and EnvironmentC. Recycle or Throw AwayD. Garbage Collection and Waste Control三、应用文写作(共1小题)假设你是中学生李华,你的美国笔友Chris得知你校正在积极开展“绿色校园行”活动他非常感兴趣,便写信给你,希望你介绍相关情况。

In 1901 Shackleton got a place on Captain Scott's first Antarctic expedition (探险队) on the Discovery. In 1907, he led his own British Antarctic Expedition on the Nimrod and received a hero's welcome when he returned.After Scott died in 1912, Shackleton chose to tackle the challenge of Antarctica in a different way. He decided he would try to journey across the Antarctic from one side to the other through the South Pole.In 1914, Shackleton led a party on the ship Endurance cross the Antarctic from one side to the other. On 19 January 1915, Endurance became locked in the ice of the sea. Over the course of the next nine months the ship was gradually destroyed, finally sinking on 27 October. It proved impossible for the 28 men to pull their boats and stores across the frozen sea, so Shackleton camped on the ice and drifted (漂流) with it.Shackleton and his men were cold and exhausted, and weak from the difficulties of the journey. They knew they would not be found and could not all sail further. Therefore, Shackleton and five others left most of the party behind and reached the nearest island where they found help and the whole party survived.Although the expedition failed because Shackleton did not reach the South Pole, in other ways it was his biggest success. He overcame (战胜) great difficulties to bring his men safely home after the Endurance was trapped and destroyed.On 5 January 1922, Shackleton died of a heart attack. He was on his way to the Antarctic again, on board another ship the Quest.1.The underlined word “tackle” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.A.think of B.turn downC.talk about D.deal with2.Shackleton's most difficult journey of exploration was on the ship ________.A.Discovery B.NimrodC.Endurance D.Quest3.Why did the expedition on the Endurance become Shackleton's biggest success?A.He received a hero's welcome when he returned.B.He managed to get help and save the lives of the whole party.C.He and his men pulled their boats and stores across the frozen sea.D.He and five other men reached the nearest island to the South Pole.4.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Captain Scott was the first to reach the South Pole.B.Shackleton was a determined and responsible man.C.Scott and Shackleton both died of heart attacks.D.Scott and Shackleton were good friends for many years.BTraffic jams result in loss of time — and loss of health, according to recent research. It has already been proven that fumes (烟雾) from cars and trucks are linked to heart and lung (肺) disease and cancer. Now scientists have found that they may also harm brain cells and nerves (神经), according to The Wall Street Journal on November 8.Experiments by scientists around the world suggest that traffic fumes can affect people's mental ability, intelligence and emotional stability (稳定性).“There is real cause for concern,” said neurochemist (神经化学专家) Annette Kirshner at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in North Carolina, US.“But we ought to proceed (推进) with caution.”Currently scientists are not sure what the exact effects will be on people's brains and behavior.Scientists in the Netherlands recently discovered that breathing traffic fumes for just 30 minutes can increase electrical activity in parts of the brain that control behavior, personality and decisionmaking.Research teams in New York, Boston, Beijing, and Krakow (Poland) found that childrenwho live in areas affected by heavy traffic fumes had lower scores in IQ tests. They were also more likely to suffer depression (抑郁), anxiety and attention problems than children who grew up breathing cleaner air.It was also found that older men and women who had long been breathing traffic fumes had memory and reasoning problems.Vehicles today don't let out as much pollution as they did in 1970, only about one tenth of what it was then. However, there are more cars on the roads today and they get stuck in traffic more often. Drivers traveling on the busiest roads in the US spend an average of 140 hours in traffic jams every year, about the same time they spend in the office in a month.Scientists believe that even if it is not possible to reduce the number of cars on the road, as long as simple steps can be taken to speed up the traffic, public health problems can be greatly reduced.5.According to the article, it has been newly discovered that ________.A.traffic jams are a waste of timeB.fumes may cause heart and lung cancerC.fumes may harm people's mental abilitiesD.traffic jams can affect people's behavior6.What effect do traffic fumes have on the human brain?A.They increase electrical activity in parts of the brain.B.They weaken the ability to make decisions.C.They kill healthy cells in the brain.D.They cause brain disorders.7.According to the article, people who have long been breathing traffic fumes might suffer all the following EXCEPT________.A.attention problems B.reasoning problemsC.emotional problems D.eyesight problems8.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Scientists have proven the exact effects of traffic fumes on mental health.B.Vehicles today let out much more pollution than they did in 1970.C.There are heavy traffic jams nowadays due to the large number of cars.D.There is no need to reduce the number of cars on the road.Ⅴ.语法填空A young man and an old man were waiting for a bus. 1.________ sat next to eachother.“What's that in your bag?”asked the young man, pointing to a big bag beside the old man.“Gold. There was nothing but gold,”answered the old man. The young man could not believe his own ears and was 2.________ great surprise. Then he began to think about 3.________ to get the money.
