Cell, in biology, the basic unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed. A single cell is often a complete organism in itself, such as a bacterium or yeast. Other cells acquire specialized functions as they mature. These cells cooperate with other specialized cells and become the building blocks of large multicellular organisms, such as humans and other animals. Activity 3 Post-listening speaking What do you know about cells and bacteria? bacteria life-form bacteria, any of a group of microscopic single-celled organisms that live in enormous numbers in almost every environment on Earth, from deep-sea vents to deep below Earth’s surface to the digestive tracts of humans other animals. ① Do you know about…? ② Have you heard of…? ③ By the way, ... ④ In fact, ... ⑤ Actually, ... ⑥ Speaking of which, ...

(P72 Ex7) Earth is home to millions of different species. Some can be very small, like bacteria and viruses, which are so small that we cannot see them with only our eyes. By contrast, the largest animal species so far found on our planet is the blue whale, which can grow up to almost 30 metres in length and weigh over 130,000 kilos. The toughest species is probably the water bear. This tiny organism can survive temperatures from 150 ℃ to a below freezing -272 ℃. To best survive in their environment, each species has developed its own unique physical characteristics. Each year, scientists identify around 15,000 new species. However, diversity on our planet is such, that there are still millions of species on Earth remaining to be discovered. Read the passage and answer the questions (P72 Ex8). Activity 5 Reading 1 What species are mentioned and what is special about them? 2 What other unusual life forms do you know of? The moonfish (翻车鱼), which are about the size of a manhole cover, is now considered the first-known warm-blooded fish. Turritopsis dohrnii (灯塔水母) is the only known animal to be immortal.

Activity 6 Speaking Work in pairs 33 Supplementary information The mammal yaks can live in the highest plateau, mainly in the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau. Yaks, usually dark brown or black in color, have very long and thick fur covered all their bodies. Their limbs are short but strong. All these characteristics make yaks can live in the area of 3000-5000 metres above sea level and 30-40 degrees below zero. Nearly 85% of yaks in the world are living in China. Diversiform-leaved poplar trees (胡杨林) mainly grow in 20 countries, including Mongolia and some on the Mediterranean. Xinjiang grows 91 percent of diversiform-leaved poplar trees in China. The trees are estimated to have a history of three million years, according to its fossils found in 1935 in Xinjiang and neighboring Gansu province. However, During the 1960-1970 period, large areas of diversiform-leaved poplar trees were felled (砍伐树木) in some areas in Xinjiang to make room for farming, greatly deteriorating the local ecological environment with desert incursion into oases (绿洲). Introduction of laws and policies, along with increasing protection awareness among the public, have kept the rare trees from destruction. 35 Peacocks are mainly found in Yunnan province, in the southwest of China. According to a survey by the Kunming Institute of Zoology, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, fewer than 500 of the green peacocks may still exist, and it has now become one of China’s most endangered wildlife species, even rarer than the giant panda. Siberian tigers, otherwise known as Amur or Manchurian tigers, mainly live in eastern Russia, Northeast China and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. Forest and mountain areas in the eastern part of Jilin have long been the habitat for Siberian tigers, and a monitoring center has been established covering 500 square meters to keep track of the animals. In recent years, wild Siberian tigers have been sighted frequently in the region thanks to its improving natural environment. Official statistics show Jilin currently has 42 nature reserves covering 2.61 million hectares (公顷) of land, and accounting for 13.9 percent of all land of Jilin. Dawn redwood trees (水杉) are large fast-growing Chinese monoecious (雌雄同株的) tree having flat bright-green deciduous (树木每年落叶的) leaves and small globular cones. Also known as the metasequoia, the tree is native to Hubei, Hunan and Sichuan provinces and widely regarded as a living fossil since its existence dates back to the Cretaceous (白垩纪的) period, but has been planted in a vast regions across China that are south of Beijing in recent years to be used for harvesting and for ornament. It has high academic value as one precious relic plant. Write an article based on your talk about biodiversity in China during the Pair Work part. Use the words and expressions you’ve learnt today.
