Unit 8 PeriodOneTopicTalk&Lesson1（Word教参）-【状元桥·优质课堂】2024-2025学年高中英语必修第三册（北师大版2024）

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment.There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited. Today things are different.The world has become too crowded.We are using up① our natural resources, and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals.If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive. We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none ❶left.Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught.We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear.Yet, we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.We see that if rivers are polluted with waste products, we will die.Yet, waste products are still put into rivers.We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there won't be enough food.What can we do to solve these problems? If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available②.Land for crops feeds five times more people than land ❷where animals are kept.Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle③ them.The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control. Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future. 【词块采撷】 ①use up 用完；耗尽 ②available adj.可用的；有空的 ③recycle v．回收利用，再利用 【亮句应用】 ❶过去分词作定语 (2024·新课标Ⅱ)Two years later, a six-meter-tall pavilion, inspired by The Peony Pavilion, was built at the Firs Garden, just ten minutes' walk from Shakespeare's birthplace. 两年后，一座六米高的亭子在菲斯花园落成，该花园距离莎士比亚故居仅十分钟步行路程，其灵感来自《牡丹亭》。 ❷where引导定语从句 (2024·新课标Ⅱ续写)He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before.他在四天前送我走的公交车站接我。 语言技能：①熟练运用本单元词汇以及句式；②学习v.-ing形式和-ed形式；③学会写调查报告；④学会用自己的方式去保护环境。 素养提升：①了解“根与芽”组织及其宗旨；②了解环境问题，增强环保意识，倡导绿色生活，环保出行。 Period One　Topic Talk & Lesson 1—Comprehending [教材原文] ROOTS<1> & SHOOTS<2> Most people suffer from what is known as “Just-me-ism<3>”．What is that？Well, say you leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, leave a light on when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and can't be bothered<4> to pick it up.①You know that all those things are wrong, but so what？“What difference can it possibly make？”you say to yourself.“There are millions of people in the world and I'm just me.How can it matter if I leave one little tap running, one little light on or leave a little piece of litter on the road？And anyway, no one will know.” Of course, it wouldn't matter if there were just a few people in the world.But just think of all the millions of people saying to themselves：“It doesn't matter.It's just me.And, anyway, no one knows.”Millions of gallons<5> of water would be wasted；millions of lights would be left on；millions of pieces of litter would be dropped.And all of this would be very harmful. To inspire young people to take action<6> for the environment, animals and their community, Roots & Shoots was established.This institute<7> was set up in the early 1990s by Dr.Jane Goodall<8>， a scientist who's the world's best-known expert on wild chimpanzees<9>．In addition to her research, she has been whole-heartedly committed to environmental protection.The whole purpose of Roots & Shoots is to educate young people, from pre-schoolers to university students, so they can help to build a future that is secure and live together in peace with nature. ②The organisation is called Roots & Shoots because roots move slowly under the ground to make a firm<10> foundation<11>， and shoots seem small and weak, but they can break open brick<12> walls to reach the light.The roots and shoots are you, your friends and young people all around the world<13>．Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots can solve the problems, change the world and make it a better place to live in. Do you think you help to make the world a better place when you make a sad person smile, when you make a dog wag<14> its tail, and when you water a thirsty plant？One cheered-up person, one happy dog, one flowering plant, and you.That's what Roots & Shoots is all about：the value and importance of each individual—human, animal or plant.③Dr.Jane Goodall believes that the most important thing is that：“Every individual matters.Every individual has a role to play.Every individual makes a difference.” You get to choose：Do you want to use your life to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment？Do you want to make Roots & Shoots rooted in everyone's heart？Do you want to be a part of a community for a shared future？You cannot be absent. It is by acting together, in this exciting way, that we can involve<15> thousands—millions—of people, and this is what is going to change the world. —Jane Goodall [词汇注解] <1>root/ruːt/n.树根 <2>shoot/ʃuːt/n.芽，苗；嫩枝 vt.射中；射击 <3>*just-me-ism/dʒəst mi ˈIzəm/n.以自我为中心 <4>bothered/ˈbɒðəd/adj.担心的；烦恼的 <5>*gallon/ˈɡælən/n.加仑 <6>take action采取行动 <7>institute/ˈInstItjuːt/n.机构；研究院 <8>Jane Goodall/ˈdʒeIn ˌɡʊdɔːl/珍·古道尔 <9>*chimpanzee/ˌtʃImpænˈziː/n.黑猩猩 <10>firm/fɜːm/adj.坚实的；稳固的 <11>foundation/faʊnˈdeIʃən/n.基础；地基 <12>brick/brIk/n.砖，砖块 <13>all around the world全世界 <14>*wag/wæɡ/vi.& vt.(狗)摇(尾巴) <15>involve/Inˈvɒlv/vt.参与；包含 根与芽 很多人都有所谓的“就我一个”问题。这是什么意思呢？比方说，你刷牙的时候让水哗哗地流，外出的时候不关灯，或者掉了一块垃圾却懒得捡起来。① 你知道这些都是不对的，但那又怎么样？ “这会有什么影响呢？”你对自己说，“世界上有数百万人，我不过是我而已。如果我不关一个小小的水龙头，一盏小小的灯或在路上掉了一小块垃圾，这会有什么问题？而且不管怎样，也没人会知道。”当然，如果世界上只有几个人这样，那就无所谓了。但试想要是数百万人都对自己说：“没关系。只有我一个。而且，不管怎样，也没人会知道。”那样将会浪费数百万加仑的水，忘记关掉数百万的灯，掉下数百万块的垃圾。而这些都是非常有害的。 为了激励年轻人行动起来保护环境、动物和社区，“根与芽”诞生了。这个机构于20世纪90年代初由珍·古道尔博士创立，在野生黑猩猩研究领域，她是世界上最著名的专家。除了自己的科研，她一直全身心地投入环境保护事业。“根与芽”的目的是教育年轻人，从学龄前儿童到大学生，使他们能够为创造一个安全、与自然和平共处的未来而贡献力量。 ② 这个组织取名“根与芽”，取义根部在地下缓慢延伸以形成坚实的基础，而芽看起来又小又弱，却可以向着光明冲破砖墙的阻挡。 根和芽就是你、你的朋友和世界各地的年轻人。成千上万的根和芽能够解决问题，改变世界，使其更加宜居。 当你使一个悲伤的人破涕为笑，让一只狗摇尾巴，给一株干渴的植物浇水时，你觉得自己让世界变得更美好了吗？一个振作起来的人、一只快乐的狗、一株开花的植物和你。这就是“根与芽”的全部意义所在：重视每一个个体的价值和重要性，不管是人、动物还是植物。③ 珍·古道尔博士认为，最重要的是：“每一个个体都很重要。每一个个体都有自己的角色。每一个个体都能有所作为。” 你可以选择：你想通过自己的生活，为人类、动物和环境创造一个更美好的世界吗？你想让“根与芽”植根于每个人的心中吗？你想成为命运共同体的一员吗？你不能缺席。 正是通过这种令人激动的方式共同行动起来，我们可以让成百上千、甚至千百万人参与其中，这将改变世界。 ——珍·古道尔 Step One　Fast-reading Ⅰ.Read the passage quickly and fill in the following blanks with suitable words.
