It is a very large animal. It can grow up to 6 meters long. Its body is green and brown and it has a very big mouth. Most of the Nile crocodiles can live to be about 70 years old in the wild. Some can even live up to 100 years old. The Nile crocodiles spend most of the day on the bank（岸边） of the river in the sun without moving. At night，they go back into the water to find food. They are excellent swimmers. They can swim as fast as 30 km/h and stay up to 30 minutes under water. As meat eaters，the Nile crocodiles eat birds，fish and other crocodiles. Sometimes they even eat people. A person washing clothes by the river might just look like a delicious meal for them. Hundreds of people die because of them each year. Now the Nile crocodiles are in danger. Do you know why？First，people kill them for their skin （皮肤） to make things like shoes and handbags. Second，people catch them for food or medicine. Last but not least，some people destroy their home，so the Nile crocodiles don't have enough space to live. Part 2: Skills Challenge Task 1: Understand the Story（基础理解） 1. What do Nile crocodiles mainly eat according to the passage? A. Grass and leaves B. Birds, fish and other crocodiles C. Fruits from nearby trees D. Small stones to help digestion 2. What THREE reasons make Nile crocodiles in danger? ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Task 2: Talk About Feelings（情感表达） 3. Complete the sentences with proper words: The writer might feel ____________ about the fact that hundreds of people die from Nile crocodiles each year. (worried/excited) People may feel ____________ when they see Nile crocodiles swimming fast in the river. (scared/relaxed) Readers might feel ____________ about the decreasing number of Nile crocodiles. (concerned/happy) Task 3: Be a Problem Solver（问题解决） 4. Imagine your classmate says, “Nile crocodiles are dangerous—we don’t need to protect them.” How would you use the information from the passage to persuade them to change their mind? Use at least one point from the story (e.g., their role in the ecosystem, the reasons for their danger are human-caused). Task 4: Critical Thinking（批判性思维） 5. Do you think stopping people from killing Nile crocodiles for skin can fully protect them? Why or why not? Support your answer with examples from the story. 【答案】 Task 1: Understand the Story（基础理解） 1. 答案：B 解析：根据原文第三段“As meat eaters，the Nile crocodiles eat birds，fish and other crocodiles”可知，尼罗河鳄鱼作为肉食动物，主要以鸟类、鱼类和其他鳄鱼为食，A（草和树叶）、C（附近树上的水果）、D（帮助消化的小石头）均不符合原文，故选B。 2. 答案： First, people kill them for their skin to make things like shoes and handbags. Second, people catch them for food or medicine. Last but not least, some people destroy their home, so they don't have enough space to live. 解析：原文第四段明确列出了尼罗河鳄鱼濒危的三个原因，直接提取即可。 Task 2: Talk About Feelings（情感表达） 3. 答案：worried；scared；concerned 解析： 结合“hundreds of people die from Nile crocodiles each year”（每年数百人因尼罗河鳄鱼死亡）的负面事实，作者应感到“担忧的（worried）”，而非“兴奋的（excited）”； 尼罗河鳄鱼是危险的肉食动物，看到它们在河里快速游动，人们会感到“害怕的（scared）”，而非“放松的（relaxed）”； 尼罗河鳄鱼数量减少是濒危信号，读者应感到“担忧的（concerned）”，而非“开心的（happy）”。 Task 3: Be a Problem Solver（问题解决） 4. 答案：I would tell my classmate that even though Nile crocodiles are dangerous, we still need to protect them. Because the passage says the main reasons for their danger are human activities—people kill them for skin, catch them for food or medicine, and destroy their homes. They are not naturally decreasing in number because of being "too dangerous". Protecting them is not just for the crocodiles themselves, but also to keep the balance of the ecosystem (since they are part of the food chain as meat eaters). If they disappear, it may affect other animals that they eat or that eat them. 解析：结合原文中“鳄鱼濒危的原因是人类活动”这一核心信息，指出保护鳄鱼的必要性（非因“危险”而无需保护），并关联其在生态系统中的角色，完成劝说逻辑。 Task 4: Critical Thinking（批判性思维） 5. 答案：No, I don't think so. Because the passage says Nile crocodiles are in danger for three reasons: people kill them for skin, catch them for food or medicine, and destroy their homes. Stopping people from killing them for skin only solves one of the three problems. Even if we stop skinrelated killing, people may still catch them for food or medicine, and their homes may still be destroyed by humans. For example, if farmers take over the riverside areas where crocodiles live to grow crops, the crocodiles will still have no space to live. So only dealing with the "skin problem" is not enough to fully protect them; we need to solve all three reasons together. 解析：根据原文中“鳄鱼濒危的三个独立原因”，指出“禁止为获取皮肤而捕杀”仅解决其中一个问题，无法覆盖“为食物/药品捕杀”和“栖息地破坏”另外两个威胁，故不能完全保护鳄鱼，需结合具体例子（如栖息地被占用）支撑观点。 $$ Unit 5 Wild animals 课时4 Grammar 分层作业 核心知识速记 03拓展培优 01基础达标 04思维进阶 02能力提升 ( 词汇 1. fat /fæt/ adj. 胖的 2. manage /ˈm æ nɪdʒ/ vt. & vi. 完成(困难的事) 3. whale /weɪl/ n. 鲸 4. hunt /hʌnt/ vt. & vi. 猎杀 5. meaningful /ˈmiːnɪŋfl/ adj. 重要的 短语 1. once in a while 偶尔地；间或 2. be full of energy 精力充沛 3. live in groups 群居生活 4. hunting skills 捕猎技能 句型 1.
