Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (鹰), the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why? Because hawks eat mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly.Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments topass laws protecting animals in danger.Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.【语篇解读】本文是一篇关于动物保护的说明文。

《Unit 4 wildlife_protection》说课稿Good morning, professors, it’s my great pleasure to be here sharing my lessons with you. The content of the lesson is Senior English for China Student’s Book 2 Unit 4 Wildlife protection. I’ll begin the lesson from the following five parts, the teaching material, the teaching methods, the studying methods, the teaching procedure and blackboard design. First, let me talk about the teaching material.Firstly，let me introduce the teaching material. This unit is to introduce to us the importance of wildlife protection. The reading passage is the center of this unit. It is made up of 3 paragraphs, that is, why we need wildlife protection, a good example of wildlife protection and what we can get from wildlife protection. The text is the most important teaching material in this lesson, which extends the main topic “wildlife protection” and contains most of the vocabulary and grammar points that students should learn in this unit.Secondly, I want to tell something about the students. Although the students have the basic abilities of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, they still need many opportunities to practice what they have learned, to express their ideas, feelings, and experience and to develop their autonomous learning ability and cooperative learning abilityThirdly, I’d like to talk about teaching aims and demands1 Knowledge aims:（1）to help students to understand and master the words, phrases and sentence patterns.（2）to know some basic information about the endangered animals and wildlife situation and protection.2 Ability aims:(1) To improve the students’ organizing and using skills of English as thesecond language(2) To understand the main idea, to scan for the needed information and tograsp the details3 Emotional aims:(1) Help students understand the importance of the wildlife protection andmake them be more active in the helping wildlife.(2) Develop students’ sense of cooperative learningFourthly, teaching key points is1. To help the students get a general idea of the whole passage, and somedetailed information and language points as well.2. To understand the importance of wildlife protection and then do something for wildlifeTeaching difficult points is1.The students use their own words to express their own ideas.2.the usage of present progressive passive voiceAccording to the analysis above, I’ll try to use the following theories to make students the real master of the class while the teacher myself the director.a. Communicative Language TeachingLanguage is used for communication. It’s learner-centered and emphasizes communication and real-life situations.b. Task-based Language TeachingA task resembles activities which our students or other people carry out in everyday life, Learners should be given opportunities to reflect on what they have learned and how well they are doing.c. Computer Assisted Language TeachingLanguage learning needs a context, which can help the learners to understand the language and then can product comprehensible output, so computer has the advantages to make the materials attractive.Part 3 Learning MethodsTask-based, self-dependent and cooperative learningPart 4 Teaching ProcedureStep One Lead-in“Interest is the best teacher.” Therefore, at the very beginning of the class, I should spark the students’ mind to focus on the centre topic “the importance of wildlife protection”I’ll show them some beautiful pictures of wild animals, such as lions, Tibet antelopes, monkeys and so on. Ask them what they know about those animals. The answers must relate to their present situation, such as die out, dangerous, decrease and so on.After this, the students will be eager to something about the endangered wildlife and this is the very time to naturally lead the class into Step 2Step 2 Reading for information: skimming and scanningIn this step, I use Task-based Language Teaching method, which can give students a clear and specific purpose while skimming and scanning the context.Task 1 General ideaThe students will be asked to just glance at the title and the pictures of the passage, and then guess what they will read in the text. And they’ll be divided into groups of four to have a discussion.The purpose is to inspire the students to read actively, not passively. In addition, the task is to develop the students’ reading skill by making prediction and to encourage the students to express their thoughts in English and cooperate with each other.Task 2 Main idea of each paragraphCooperative learning can raise the students’ interest and create an atmosphere of achievement. Based on this theory, I divide the whole class into 3 groups to skim the whole text and get the main idea of each paragraph.Step 3 Reading for comprehensionThe purpose of reading is to get the correct and useful information. Students should not only have a high speed of reading but also have a correct understanding of details. Therefore the following practices on Page 27 can help check the situation.Step 4 Solving difficult language problems through readingIt’s important for language learners to learn important rules of grammar and use these rules to solve problems in reality. In the previous process of reading, the students must come across some difficult language obstacles, so it’s necessary for us to discuss and explain. This period of time belongs to students. They can ask any questions they come across in the process of learning. I’ll explain the questions and difficulties. The purpose of this is improving the students “questioning spirit” and dealing with the difficulties.Step 5 ConsolidationLanguage is learnt by communicating. It is my job to create an atmosphere for students to use the language. Here I design 2 activities1Role readThe text is concentrated on the conversation between Daisy and Tibet antelope, elephant and monkey. Role read is a good chance to practice English in a cooperative learning atmosphere.2 DiscussionDuring making discussion, the students will deepen their understanding of the severe situation of wildlife and the importance of wildlife protection.1. Why is it important to protect wildlife?2. What must be done if wildlife protection is to succeed?Step 6 HomeworkAsk the students to write down their opinions about what they should do to protect the wild animals.The assignment enables the students to search various information resources, which can widen their view and continue to inspire their enthusiasm of learning.Part 5 Blackboard designUnit 4 Wildlife protectionTopic Sentences:1. Why we need wildlife protection2. A good example of wildlife protection3. What we can get from wildlife protectionDiscussion:1. Why is it important to protect the wildlife?2. What must be done if wildlife protection is to succeed?In my opinion, the blackboard design can reflect the teacher’s ability of mastering the text and leading the students to master the text easily.In this text, the design is not easy to write. I write the topic sentences on the blackboard, in order to tell the students that this is of the importance in this class. The discussion is of the difficulty.I want to make the design inductive, instructive and artistic.。

Unit 4 Wildlife protection Period 1 Warming Up & Reading课后阅读训练Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWhat do the following animals have in common? Pandas, rhinoceros, Mexican burrowing snakes, pink pigeons and small tooth sawfish.They are all endangered animals! Animals become endangered for a variety of reasons. Sadly, humans are behind every one of them!For centuries, humans have hunted elephants for their tusks, and killed tigers for their beautiful furs, caught fish for food. While we still have elephants, tigers, and fish in the wild, we cannot say the same about many others that have simply died out!Year 1505 was a dreadful turning point in the natural history of the island of Mauritius—European sailors discovered this beautiful island in the Indian Ocean and brought dogs, pigs, monkeys with them. The arrival of humans and those introduced animal species were bad news for dodo birds. About 50 pounds and flightless, dodo birds did not have any natural enemies until then. They picked fruits fallen from trees and built their nests on the ground. Shortly after humans set foot on Mauritius, however, dodo birds realized that they were in big trouble—men killed them for their meat, and those introduced animal species destroyed their nests and ate their eggs. The effects of excessive(过度的)hunting and foreign species drove dodo birds to first become much fewer and then die out. The last dodo bird was killed in 1681.Humans and animals have always competed for land and other natural resources. We clear an area of a forest for farming. We cut down trees and use wood to build beautiful houses. We build reservoirs(水库)to make sure that we have enough water to use. At the same time that we are trying to make our life comfortable, we destroy the habitats of wild animals.More than once we have seen on television that rescue workers are trying their best to save seabirds in spilled(泄漏的)oil. More than once we have heard about how emissions of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳的排放)and other gases have raised the Earth temperature and caused global warming. Pollution has a serious and long-lasting effect. If we choose to do nothing and continue to pollute our planet Earth, our next generations will have to face an Earth without birds singing and beasts roaring.【语篇概述】本文主要介绍了导致许多动物灭绝的原因, 我们人类应该保护野生动物, 保护地球。

Unit 4 Wildlife protection Period 1 Warming Up & Reading课时巩固提升Life is good for penguins in Antarctica(南极洲)at the end of the movieHappy Feet. Real-life penguins, though, have little to celebrate.Twelve of the world's nineteen penguin species(种类)face serious danger,according to wildlife experts.They are in danger of disappearing from the earth, including emperor penguins.“Many of the world's penguin species are in big trouble, ”penguin expert Kassel Siegel told WR News.Her wildlife group is asking the US government to protect the twelve species of penguins in danger. Several countries are making efforts to make sure the rapidly increasing tourists in Antarctica do not cause environmental problems.Overfishing is one reason for the problem. Penguins eat small fish and tiny animals called krill. Fishing boats are catching lots of krill. That leaves less food for penguins to eat.Another reason for the decline(减少)in the number of penguins is global warming. Global warming is the slow increase in average temperature around the world. It is causing sea ice to melt. Penguins need the sea ice as a place to rest while they search for krill.Scientists say global warming is caused when we drive cars or use electricity. That burns coal, and natural gas. The burning of coal, oil, and natural gas gives off gases that add to the overheating of the earth. “We can and must reduce gas emission(排放物)to keep penguins safe in the future, ”says Siegel.【语篇概述】本文主要讲述了企鹅面临灭绝的危险以及造成这种状况的原因。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Little-known facts about germsGerms are everywhere and in so many forms.__1__ There are some steps you can take to help prevent the spread of germs in your personal space.Computer keyboards can have more germs than a public toilet.Keys and spaces on a keyboard are main breeding grounds for bacterial and viral growth.__2__ Clean your keyboard regularly with specialized wipes for electronics, and remove dust with an air duster.__3__While it seems to make sense that covering your toothbrush would protect, the opposite is the case.With a cover on your brush, a more humid environment is created and more likely to encourage growth of germs.Wash your toothbrush when done, and allow it to air dry.Make sure you store it away from the toilet.Hand sanitizer(洗手液) does not always replace soap and water washing.Hand sanitizer is great when you’re not near a sink, and need to clean your hands.But given the choice of a spritz of sanitizer or good old soap and water, choose the soap and water route.__4__ Lather up and scrub hard for at least 20 seconds, and wash between your fingers and the back of your hands.Don’t skimp with the hand sanitizer either—cover the same hand areas as for soap and water.__5__ If you freeze foods that you suspect might be spoiled, freezing them will not kill the germs already in the food.Freezing prevents further bacterial growth, but when you thaw it out, the bacteria continue to increase and pollute your food.A．Freezing food does not kill germs.B．Try not to eat outside especially in summer.C．Exposure to germs can lead to many illnesses.D．Toothbrush covers do not protect your brush from bacteria. E．There are a lot of effective ways to get rid of germs in your house. F．Soap and water are only a better germ fighter when done properly. G．Some reports show five times more germs on a keyboard than on a public toilet.答案 1.C [本文第一段为主题段，说明细菌无处不在，形式多样，可以产生许多疾病，以下几段是说明一些知之甚少的关于细菌的实事以及应该采取的不受细菌伤害的方法。

Unit 4 Wildlife protection Period 2 Reading课后阅读训练Ⅰ. 阅读理解ACan we give a hand to those endangered animals?Yes, we may only do a little bit,but together our small actions add up to a lot.1. Protect wildlife habitatPerhaps the greatest threat that faces many species is the widespreaddestruction of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all result in loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can quickly force a species to extinction. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together naturally. Parks and reserves are now all too often the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.2. Reduce the threat of invasive(入侵的)speciesThe spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources(资源)and habitat. They can evenprey onnative species directly, forcing native species towards extinction.3. Place decals(贴花纸)on windowsIt is reported that as many as one million birds in the United States die each year because of collisions(碰撞)with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.4. Slow down when drivingMany native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles(障碍)to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and present a constant risk to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. So when you drive out, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.【语篇概述】我们能为濒危动物做点什么?本文给出了很好的建议, 我们每个人都可以为此伸出援手, 尽自己的微薄之力。

Unit 4 Wildlife protection Period 4 Using Language课后阅读训练Ⅰ.阅读理解ALast month,when we were exploring in Costa Rica and Nicaragua,I had a chance to deal with a lot of strange and funny animals. None were more funny than Caplin,a capybara(水豚).I bet you are thinking Eww!A giant rat! Actually,it is about the size of a large dog and looks kind of like a pig. The capybara is a native to South America. Capybaras can weigh up to 150 pounds; they have pig-like faces and are covered in brown fur.They are always near the water because they love to eat the grass and other plants that grow by the water. Their name actually means “master of the grass”. Capybaras even sleep in the water. They are able to do this without drowning,because their ears, eyes, and nose are on top of their head so they can hear, see,and breathe while swimming.Caplin was the luckiest capybara ever!He had his own pond and swimming pool and even his own toilet!Plus he got little treats like strawberry yogurt.I think Caplin was so funny because he was a rodent(啮齿目动物),yet he acted like he was part dog and part pig.He would roll around in the mud,then shake his body like a dog and spray(喷出)brown dots on everyone! Sometimes he would walk right up to me and start poking(拨弄)me with his paw, until I gave him a dried cherry treat. That is what my dogs do to me when they want a dog treat.My show takes me on many science adventures to a lot of crazy places and judging by how it’s going now, the adventures will only get crazier. Who knows what could be the next; I may meet other unusual creatures! You don’t have to travel to different countries to explore or find an adventure; you can find amazing stuff in your own neighborhood.【语篇概述】本文作者根据自己的经历介绍了水豚的长相、生活习性以及一只叫Caplin的水豚的可爱之处等。

Unit4 Wildlife protection高考试题一（2017年高考新课标I卷阅读理解，B）I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain.B. Getting injured in his work.C. Feeling uncertain about his future.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.25. Why was the author called to Muttontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl.D. To cure a young owl.26.What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B. Some food.C. A recording.D. Its parents.27.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.【文章大意】救助小动物并没有那么简单，因为你所做的救助行为到最后可能都成了无用功。
