Think and Discuss
1. Are there real workers in the plants? What do the workers
mean to a plant in real life?
2.Why does the writer use “workers” in the passage?
No, the workers mean cells (叶绿体细胞).
To make the passage more interesting and easier for the readers to understand.
Think and Share
1.What does “plant” mean in the title?
In the title, “plant” has a double meaning. Usually it means a living thing like a tree or flower. Here, it refers to a “factory” where “workers” make food for the plant and oxygen for us.
A pun(双关语) is a word with more than one
meaning. It’s a clever way to make the passage
more interesting.
2. In what other ways do plants help the world?
For people: provide food, clean the air and help stop the
floods...
For climate: reduce the effect of climate change...
For animals: provide food and homes for animals...
Language Points
1. Now workers from the Root send up water.
send作动词,意为“寄,发送; 传达; 派遣”。
E.g. I’ll send you a text message.
My parents send their love to me.
【拓展】
send for 派人去请
send sb. to do sth. 派某人去做某事
send out 分发
send up 发射
send sth. to sb.寄某物给某人
2. It means a lot to animals and humans, though—they need
it to breathe!
不过,它对动物和人类来说意义重大——他们需要它来呼吸!
句中though用作副词,意为“可是,不过,然而",用于为前面的句子增加对比或转折性的信息,常常被用在句子末尾。
E.g. It sounds like a lot of fun. Isn’t it very difficult though?
I didn’t get the job. I learnt a lot, though.
3.They will take a rest.
他们将要休息了。
take a rest意为“休息”。
E.g. I’m going upstairs to take a rest.
I’m tired, I need to take a rest.
4. They give more than food and oxygen.
它们提供的不仅是食物和氧气。
句中more than意为“不仅仅",用来强调植物对自然界的重要性。
E.g.She is more than a friend to me.
E.g. More than twenty classmates love drawing on weekends.
【拓展】more than还有“超过"的意思。
