Listening and Speaking introduces the topic of “how to save endangered wildlife and help wildlife in their neighborhood.” Due to the continuous deterioration of the living environment, a large number of wild animals are always facing the threat of endangered or extinction. Listening and speaking period enables students to understand the fact and reason why wild species are disappearing from the earth at an amazing speed, and realize that human beings ought to enhance the awareness of protecting wild species as soon as possible.Listening and Talking introduces the theme of " how to help wildlife in Ss’ neighborhood.". Now there are many volunteers who spontaneously protect wild animals, carry out various activities according to local conditions, and contribute their own strength to local animal protection with practical actions. Middle school students are also enthusiastic participants. They organize activities in their spare time, and take this opportunity to make friends, broaden their horizons, cultivate team spirit and communication skills. This section describes a bird watching activity organized by several middle school students of Bird watching Club. It aims to stimulate students' interest, improve their understanding of bird watching activities, and use the language structure of “being used for; in order to, so as to, to, so that, in order that ” to express the purpose for communication and discussion.1.

The theme of this unit is human and nature, focusing on the theme of wildlife protection. Nature is a complex ecosystem, in which there are delicate balance between animals and plants. Because of the role of the food chain, the extinction of one species will produce influence, causing a series of chain reaction. Large scale extinction of species will have a serious and even irreversible impact on the ecosystem, resulting in immeasurable losses. Therefore, it is of great significance to protect wild species. To protect wild species is to protect human beings themselves. The motto of this unit is "when the buying stops, the killing can too,” which is a public service advertising slogan to protect wildlife. It tells people that every rhinoceros horn, every fur, every bowl of shark fin soup, every Ivory product, and every tiger bone product, etc. consumed by human beings, are innocent wild animals slaughtered behind them. The mission of wild aid is to ban illegal trade in endangered wildlife and mitigate climate change. It aims to educate the public to reduce the consumption demand for endangered wildlife products through public publicity and improve the awareness of environmental protection.1.

1.用CAI課件模擬汽車的啟動過程。師生共同討論:①如果作用在物體上的力為恒力,且物體以勻速運(yùn)動,則力對物體做功的功率保持不變。此情況下,任意一段時間內(nèi)的平均功率與任一瞬時的瞬時功率都是相同的。②很多動力機(jī)器通常有一個額定功率,且通常使其在額定功率狀態(tài)工作(如汽車),根據(jù)P=FV可知:當(dāng)路面阻力較小時,牽引力也小,速度大,即汽車可以跑得快些;當(dāng)路面阻力較大,或爬坡時,需要比較大的牽引力,速度必須小。這就是爬坡時汽車換低速擋的道理。③如果動力機(jī)器在實(shí)際功率小于額定功率的條件下工作,例如汽車剛剛起動后的一段時間內(nèi),速度逐漸增大過程中,牽引力仍可增大,即F和v可以同時增大,但是這一情況應(yīng)以二者乘積等于額定功率為限度,即當(dāng)實(shí)際功率大于額定功率以后,這種情況不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)。

材料五航路開辟后,東方香料輸入歐洲的總量較中古之時猛增30倍,而胡椒、丁香等在印度購入和在英國賣出的差價亦高達(dá)10至29倍,其他貨物的獲利同樣驚人。這一時期,新的商品不斷涌現(xiàn),特別值得注意的是美洲的特產(chǎn)——玉米、馬鈴薯、煙草、可可等——被傳播到歐亞大陸。這時,世界性的對外貿(mào)易主要通過大西洋,地中海與意大利皆告衰落,而沿大洋的英、荷等漸居中心。到17世紀(jì)時,英國的倫敦與荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹成為世界貿(mào)易中心。問題4:材料五表明,新航路開辟后對世界貿(mào)易產(chǎn)生了哪些重大影響?答案4:結(jié)束了世界相對孤立狀態(tài);各地文明開始會合交流,日益連成一個整體;歐洲商人直接同世界各地建立商業(yè)聯(lián)系;促進(jìn)不同國家和貿(mào)易的發(fā)展,促進(jìn)世界市場雛形開始出現(xiàn)。
