2019-2020年高中英语Unit5Thepowerofnature-section1Part Two: Teaching Resources (第二部分：教学资源)Section 1: A text structure analysis of AN EXCITING JOBI. Type of writing and summary of the textII. A retold version of the textMy job is traveling distant mountains to observe them and meet people from around the mountains. The mountains are not the ordinary ones you see daily. They are volcanoes. So I may work outdoors, use instruments and meet with occasional dangerous eruptions.The job is dangerous and exciting. It makes me feel excited. For I am out to keep people alive and protect them from being hurt.I am now work for a Hawaiian volcano observatory. I collect information about an active volcano called Mount Kilauea. You may not have heard of it, I think.When a volcano erupts we try to save lives by urging people to leave their homes as quick as possible. Then, very soon, the houses, the villages might be moved out of places and get covered with volcano ashes. All that exist in its path would be burned to the ground by the boiling rock erupted from the crater of the volcano. Huge rocks might crash to the sky and back to the ground, causing great dangers to all that is around the mountain. The high buildings fall down and bee buried under the molten rock.Even today, years after, I still cannot forget my first sight of the volcano eruption. That day we arrived at a small mountain village close to a volcano. We went to bed and soon fell fast asleep. All of sudden we heard a strong sound outside the window. Because I had experienced earthquakes before, I did not take much notice. I went back to sleep. Then suddenly the sky outside became as bright as day. I ran out of the room into the back garden to see in the distance the volcano erupting in the side of the mountain. It was fountaining violently into the sky. It was really an absolutely fantastic sight.The next day I was lucky to have a closer look at the volcano. I was driven up the mountain to be very close to the crater to collect ashes from it. I put on thick glasses and jacket look like a spaceman in the flying suits. We made our way to the top of the smoking mountain. We looked down into the crater and climbed down into it. We collected lots of rock and ash for later study.We stayed at the top for two hours, being so enthusiastic about the job and so amazed at the sight that we took no notice of the damage which might done to us.2019-2020年高中英语Unit5Thepowerofnature-section3Part Two: Teaching Resources (第二部分：教学资源)Section 3: Words and expressions from Unit 2 Healthy eatingexcite []v. 1. produce a magnetic field in: Excite the neurons. 2. raise to a higher energy level: Excite the atoms. 3. arouse or elicit a feeling 4. stir feelings in: Excite the audience. 5. act as a stimulant 6. stimulate sexually 7. stir the feelings, emotions, or peace of 8. cause to be agitated, excited, or rousedimpress []n. the act of coercing someone into government service v. 1. dye (fabric) before it is spun 2. produce or try to produce a vivid impression of 3. mark or stamp with or as if with pressure: To make a batik, you impress a design with wax. 4. impress positively: The young chess player impressed her audience. 5. take (someone) against his will for pulsory service, especially on board a ship 6. reproduce by printing 7. have an emotional or cognitive impact upon: This child impressed me as unusually mature.cancel []n. a notation cancelling a previous sharp or flat v. 1. declare null and void; make ineffective: cancel the election results 2. postpone indefinitely or annul something that was scheduled: cancel the dinner partyeffort []n. 1. use of physical or mental energy; hard work: He got an A for effort. 2. earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or acplish something: make an effort to cover all the reading material 3. a notable achievement: The book was her finest effort. 4. a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end: contributed to the war effort. relieve []v. 1. take by stealing: The thief relieved me of $100. 2. free from a burden, evil, or distress 3. provide physical relief, as from pain: This pill will relieve your headaches. 4. alleviate or remove: relieve the pressure and the stresstremble []n. reflex shaking caused by cold or fear or excitement v. move or jerk quickly and involuntarily up and down or sidewaysanxious []adj. 1. causing or fraught with or showing anxiety: spent an anxious night waiting for the test results 2. mentally upset over possible misfortune or danger etc; worried: anxious parents panic []n. sudden mass fear and anxiety over anticipated events: panic in the stock market. v. 1. cause sudden fear in or fill with sudden panic: The mere thought of an isolation cell panickedthe prisoners. 2. be overe by a sudden fear: The students panicked when told that final exams were less than a week away.courage []n. a quality of spirit that enables you to face danger of pain without showing fear: He didn't have the courage to tell his mother that he had failed in the exam.diverse []adj. 1. distinctly dissimilar or unlike: diverse parts of the country 2. many and different: a person of diverse talentsunique []adj. 1. highly unusual or rare but not the single instance: spoke with a unique accent 2. the single one of its kind: the unique existing example of Donne's handwriting 3. radically distinctive and without equal: Bach was unique in his handling of counterpoint.bathe []n. the act of swimming: The Englishman said he had a good bathe. v. 1. cleanse the entire body: bathe daily 2. clean one's body by immersion into water: It’s a good habit to bathe every day. 3. suffuse with or as if with light: The room was bathed in sunlight.swallow1 []n. 1. the act of swallowing: One swallow of the liquid was enough. 2. small long-winged songbird noted for swift graceful flight and the regularity of its migrations 3. a small amount of liquid food v. 1. believe or accept without questioning or challenge: Am I supposed to swallow that story?

Astronomers’ answer is:“ If the Earth can support life, why can’ t other planets doAstronomersthesametoo?have already discovered a Jupiter-like planet orbiting (绕轨道运动 ) a sun-like star, so why not an Earth-like planet orbiting a sun-like star next?”To achieve this goal though, many other problems have to be taken into consideration.How do we transform a dusty planet like Mars into one more or less like our Earth?

It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and on you.There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.If trapped in debris (瓦砾堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.1．The purpose of the passage is to tell readers ________.A．the damage caused by earthquakesB．the rescue work after earthquakesC．what to do about earthquakesD．how to prevent earthquakes2．The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．easily broken B．easily foundC．expensive D．heavy3．To reduce the injury from the earthquake, items made of glass should be put ________.A．on cupboardsB．in the bedroomC．on a lower surfaceD．where children can’t reach them4．During the earthquake, people are advised to ________.A．go out the building at onceB．turn off power and gas immediatelyC．take shelter under a treeD．drive to a safe place5．What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?A．Cover their mouth with a handkerchief.B．Tap on a pipe or wall for help.C．Use a whistle for help.D．Light a fire for help.BCheck out our tsunami facts and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.·The Japanese word for tsunami means harbor wave.·Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal (受潮汐影响的) waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.·Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.·As a tsunami approaches the shore (海岸), water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow (浅的) enough the water may be pulled back hundreds of metres. If you are in the area, you can know that a tsunami is on the way when you see this phenomenon.·Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time as possible to move to a safe place.·When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast) they slow down but increase in height.·An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries.·In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15, 000 people.·The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres in some areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.6．How many causes of tsunamis are mentioned in the text?A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.7．In the Tohoku earthquake over 15,000 people died mainly because of ________.A．the earthquake itselfB．the lack of warning systemsC．the tsunami caused by the earthquakeD．the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami8．What do we learn from the text?A．The Japanese invented the term “tidal waves”．B．The term “tidal waves” is used more often than tsunami.C．When tsunamis slow down, their waves can reach 40 metres.D．When hitting shallow water, tsunamis will rise higher.9．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Over 200,000 people were killed in 14 countries because of the earthquake in Dec.2004.B．Sometimes tsunamis are said as tidal waves，because they are related to tides.C．The warning systems in some regions help people move to a safe place.D．If you see water move to the coast, there will be a tsunami on the way.10．The text is developed mainly by ________.A．listing some factsB．giving some examplesC．providing some numbersD．making some comparisonsⅣ. 短文改错Dear John，I’m so grateful that you’re coming to see my father in 10：00 a. m. on Sunday.
