Part 2 课文精讲
Unit 5-1
当地球静止时
1. Have you ever thought about this question: what would happen to the natural world if people were gone? Let's imagine it. One day, all human activities stop. Cars disappear from the roads, boats from the rivers, and planes from the sky. Streets, beaches and parks that are usually full of people remain empty. What happens in such a world?
2. It is no surprise that animals soon increase in number. In cities, traffic noise often means that animals cannot easily hear each other. Without humans, the noise drops greatly as traffic stops. This allows natural sounds to fill the air. It is much easier for animals to find each other and form families. Also, tourists disappear from beaches and seas. Sea animals are not be troubled by people around them.
3. But not only animals would enjoy the change. Plants benefit, too. Trees grow freely without the danger of being cut down. Forests take back the space that humans now live in. The earth is soon be a green world again.
4. The natural wonders which have been hidden by pollution for years appear again. Cleaner air and water allow them to show all their beauty once again. But there aren't any people to admire such an amazing world. What a sad thing to think about!
5. Throughout history, humans have left so many marks on the earth. The rapid development of human society has made us care less for nature. But the world isn't a game. We can't cancel it and start over. We need to think more about how to get along with nature. Perhaps we should remember the wise words which Montaigne once wrote - let us permit nature to have her way.

Unit 5-2
No longer “in danger”
1. The panda is a Chinese national treasure, and has become popular around the world. Some foreigners even believe that pandas are kept as pets in China! In fact, back in the 1970s, there were only around 1,000 of these lovely animals in the wild. In 1961, the World Wildlife Fund(WWF) was looking for an animal for its logo. The panda was chosen because it is "an animal that is beautiful, endangered, and loved by many people in the world".
2. But in the year 2016, there came some fantastic news - the panda was moved from "endangered" to "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. When people around the world celebrated, they also wondered, "How did this happen?"
3. China's government has made great efforts over the years. Among
the first national parks in China, there was one for panda protection.
The Giant Panda National Park is three times as large as Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Since the 1960s, China has created more than 60 protected areas for pandas. Research centres have also been set up and hundreds of pandas have been born there.
4.local people have also helped. With a better understanding of panda protection, many farmers
returned part of their farmland to the forests. They planted trees and Bamboo,so pandas
could have more space and food.
5.The panda is not the only animal that has benefited from these actions. The forests that they live in are also home to many other animals and plants. As the forests become larger, the panda's neighbours also enjoy a better life. Protecting pandas brings hope to the whole environment.

Part 3 语法讲练
that和which引导的定语从句
1.that引导的定语从句
that引导的定语从句既可以修饰人,也可以修饰物,that在从句中作主语或宾语(作宾语时可以省略)。
例如:
The film that tells an adventure is very interesting.
那部关于探险的电影非常有趣。(that在从句中作主语,从句修饰物)
The writer that I like best is Mark Twain.
我最喜欢的作家是马克吐温。(that在从句中作宾语,从句修饰人)
2.which 引导的定语从句
which引导的定语从句修饰的一般是物,which在从句中可以作主语,也可以作宾语。例如:
The photo which we liked best in the City and People group was taken by Zhao Min.
在“城市与人”这组照片中,我们最喜爱的照片是由赵敏拍摄的。
A group of photos which show Beijing and Cambridge in England has won the prize for the subject Home and Away.
一组展示北京和英国剑桥的照片赢得了“故土与他乡”这一主题的奖项。
3.定语从句中引导词的省略
不管定语从句修饰的是人还是物,如果引导词在从句中作宾语,通常就可以省略。例如:
Did you go to the talk (that / which) the famous scientist gave at your school?
你去听那位著名科学家在你们学校做的演讲了吗?
Is that the car (that/which) you bought last month?那是你上个月买的车吗?
A friend is a person (who / whom) you know very well and like. 朋友是你十分了解并且喜欢的人。
在上面的句子中,第一句和第二句都省略了引导词that/which,第三句省略了引导词who/whom,因为它们在从句中分别作gave,bought,know和like的宾语。引导词在从句中作宾语时可以省略,是因为省略后的从句仍然有主语和谓语,我们仍然可以分辨出哪部分是定语从句。但是,引导词在从句中作主语时就不能省略,否则会造成结构混乱。请看以下例句:
I'd love to have a friend who can understand me. 我希望有一个能理我的朋友。
He can make lessons that are usually boring interesting. 他把通常燥乏味的课讲得生动有趣。
以上两句中的引导词who和that在从句中作主语,不能省略。此外,需要注意的是,虽然在定语从句中作宾语的引导词在口语中往往被省略,但在正式文体中则常常被保留。
· 易错点
1. 先行词是人 → who / that
先行词是物 → which / that
2. that不能放在介词后面(介词后只能用which)
例:This is the house in which I live. ✔(不能用in that ❌ )
3. 关系词在从句做主语,不能省略;做宾语可以省略
4. 从句谓语单复数看前面先行词
