2 Read the passage and put the sentences in the correct order.
Disasters are terrible. Sometimes, secondary disasters are even more dangerous because they create more risks. Secondary disasters include landslides, fires, floods, and so on. Here is a serious example.

On March 11, 2011, the largest earthquake ever recorded in Japan caused great destruction. Tsunami waves hit the coastal area less than half an hour later. They also destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
power plant. In the following days, explosions rocked the plant. More than 150,000 people had to leave the area. Lots of radioactivity got into the ocean and came down from the atmosphere.
过去分词作后置定语,与earthquake 在逻辑上构成被动关系。
half 意为“一半的”,作形容词。half an/a +名词,意为“半个……”。half an hour 半个小时;half a day 半天;half an apple 半个苹果
派生词,由前缀radio-(放射的)和activity(活动)构成。

In August, 2023, the Japanese government began to release the radioactive water from the Fukushima plant into the ocean. The water could have a deep impact on sea life and the environment. People living in coastal areas around the world are worried. The radioactive water from the plant is still considered harmful today.
对……有很深的影响
现在分词短语作后置定语,与people 在逻辑上构成主动关系。

The earthquake highlighted an important problem— disasters often cause a chain reaction of problems. If people do not deal with them properly, it will lead to greater disasters.
It is everyone’s responsibility to take action to reduce disasters or secondary disasters.

导致;通往
长难句分析:这是一个主系表结构的简单句。It是形式主语;is是系动词;everyone’s responsibility是表语。to take action to reduce disasters or secondary disasters动词不定式短语是真正的主语,to reduce disasters or secondary disasters 是另一个动词不定式短语,作目的状语。

3 Read the sentences and pay attention to the parts in yellow.
· Secondary disasters include landslides, fires, floods, and so on.
· The earthquake highlighted an important problem.
Compound words are formed when two or more words are combined. For example, land + slide = landslide, earth + quake = earthquake.
Derived words are created by adding affixes (prefixes or suffixes) to existing words. For example, second + -ary = secondary, harm + ful = harmful.
Then circle more compound words in Activity 2.

2 Listen to the conversation and complete the table.
Mr Green: Class, what do you know about natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, floods, and wildfires?
Jenny: They are very powerful and dangerous.
Mr Green: That’s right. When it comes to earthquakes, what should people do to stay safe?
自主学习
11
Brian: If an earthquake happens, we should stay calm, and quickly find shelter to protect ourselves from falling objects.
Mr Green: Great advice! And what about typhoons? How can we prepare for them?
protect sb. from ... 保护某人免受……的伤害
自主学习
11
Peter: For typhoons, we should stay indoors, away from windows and from any dangerous objects outside. We should shut all windows and doors.
长难句分析:该句为简单句。For typhoons为介词短语作状语;主语是we;谓语是should stay;indoors为地点副词作状语;并列短语away from windows和(away) from any dangerous objects outside作状语,用于补充说明stay的状态要求,其中outside是副词,在句中是后置定语,修饰dangerous objects。
自主学习
11
Mr Green: Good points. Now, let’s talk about floods. What actions should we take during a flood?
Tom: We should go to higher ground. Never try to walk or drive through flood waters. They can be dangerous. You don’t know what will happen!
指洪水中实际覆盖地面的水体
自主学习
11
Mr Green: Absolutely. Finally, let’s discuss wildfires. They can be started by humans or lightning. What should we do if we see a wildfire?
Mary: If there is a wildfire nearby, we should do what authorities advise and get away if necessary. We should try not to breathe in the smoke. It can hurt our throats and lungs.
自主学习
11
长难句分析:该句为复合句。If there is a wildfire nearby为条件状语从句;主句中,we是主语,should do和(should) get away为并列谓语,由and连接;what authorities advise作do的宾语;if necessary为省略的条件状语从句,完整形式为if it is necessary,补充说明get away的前提条件。
自主学习
11
Mr Green: Those are helpful tips for staying safe during natural disasters. It’s important to be prepared and know how to protect ourselves. Let’s remember these steps and let others know, too.
