Passage 1

[1] People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources.If

babies born in 1991 live for eighty years，the human population of the world may

be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070.In other words，they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with 15 billion other

people.But hopefully there will be an important decrease in the growth of

population.What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the

babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many

as 10 billion other people.

[2]Limiting the pollution of water and atmosphere，controlling the output of the

chemicals that may be causing the global warming and climate change，and eating less

Unit 4 Earthquakes

— Warming up & Reading教学设计

一、教学内容简析：

本课的内容是人教版高中英语必修1 Unit 4 Earthquakes 中的Reading 阅读理解部分，包括Warming up, Pre-reading, 阅读理解课文A Night the Earth Didn’t Sleep和Comprehending 内容在内。Warming

up部分提供了唐山地震和美国旧金山地震的两幅图片，要求学生描述地震对这两个城市造成的危害并展开讨论。Pre-reading部分提供了地震前兆的图片，让学生了解地震前动物和自然界奇特的异常变化。阅读课文A Night the Earth Didn’t Sleep是一篇新闻报道类记叙文，叙述了唐山大地震前夕的“怪现象”、地震造成的损失及震后的救援情况。Comprehending 部分设置了些练习，主要是帮助学生更好地理解课文内容，培养学生整体把握文章的能力。

二、学习者分析

本单元的话题是“地震基础知识（basic knowledge about earthquakes）”和“遇到灾难时如何自救以及帮助他人（how to protect

oneself and help others in disaster）”。具体涉及地震的成因、预兆、地震造成的损失、地震时的应急救生以及震后的救援等内容，对于高一学生来说要完成这些内容的学习也并非是一件易事。目前，学生上 2 课以interpersonal的交流为主，而interpretative和presentational形式比重不够均衡。由于文化教学不够重视，学生的跨文化意识不高。此外，学生跨学科学习的意识不够，语言和信息的双向促进关系的认识不足。对于比较策略主要运用在英汉汉英互译的语言层面，未进入文化比较和思维比较。学生的课外语言活动环境不够丰富和重视程度不高，通常以词汇、语法等练习为主，缺乏真实的语言运用。

(2017·山东潍坊高三统一考试)

“There's a mother in PICU(儿童重症监护病房)who wants to talk about a kit she

received，” the nurse told me. “Something about it made her cry.”

I've been a child­life specialist at the Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital

since 2000. I help families understand diagnoses and treatment plans and manage

the ups and downs that come with caring for a sick child. Tough talks with parents

are part of the job，which still makes me feel nervous.

The kits the nurse was talking about were something I had recently introduced

to the hospital: Comfort Kits from Guideposts. They were supposed to make a child's

experience here easier，not upsetting.

When I came across the kits at a conference，I fell in love with them. A treasure

box of items designed not only to entertain kids，but to comfort and inspire them.

(2019·邯郸模拟C)Have you ever noticed tiny raised areas on the branches of a

tree？These may have been insects.These small insects feed on tree sap(汁液)．Insects

on urban trees are notably more abundant than those on rural trees.As a result，urban trees suffer from heavy infestations(害虫横行)，and are often unhealthy or

die.To protect and restore urban trees' health，we need to determine the factors

that make these tree pests more successful in urban habitats.

Living organisms interact closely with their environment.The warmer，more drought－stressed trees harbor more successful pests than cooler，less drought－stressed

trees.As cities and natural habitats become hotter and drier，damaging insects will

become more abundant on urban trees.

Trees within urban forests are valuable economically and for the environmental
