Long ago, farmers did not have weather apps or machines. They watched the sky, the wind and the plants, and they learnt the laws of nature by heart. 　　The 24 Solar Terms are a good example. They tell farmers what to do at different times of the year. For example, they show farmers when to plant the wheat and when to harvest it. They also help people understand why things happen at certain times, and how they should react. This is why the terms are still useful today. 　　Another example is the karez system in Xinjiang. Turpan is one of the hottest and driest places in China. People there wondered how they could grow food in such a dry place. The answer was the karez system: it carries water from the mountains through underground canals, so the water stays cool and safe from the desert heat. 　　These examples show us something important. If we understand what nature is telling us and how it works, we can live in it more safely. Living with nature does not mean doing nothing; it means using our wisdom to work with the laws of nature. 任务一：单项选择 1. How did people long ago learn the laws of nature? A. By using weather apps.　B. By reading science books. C. By watching the sky, the wind and the plants.　D. By asking scientists for help. 2. What is the karez system used for? A. To make the desert hotter.　B. To build houses in Turpan. C. To stop people from farming.　D. To carry water from the mountains. 任务二：判断正误（T/F） 3. The 24 Solar Terms are only useful in the past and have no use today. （　　） 4. Living with nature means using our wisdom to work with the laws of nature. （　　） 任务三：简答 5. Why does the water in the karez system stay cool? _______________________________________________________________________________ Passage 2（课外同源：Rice and fish in the same field） 　　In Qingtian, a small town in Zhejiang Province, farmers have a special way of growing food. They put baby fish into their rice fields. The fish and the rice grow together, and both of them do better. 　　How does it work? The fish eat insects and small weeds that would hurt the rice. In return, the fish waste becomes food for the rice plants. Because the fish keep the water moving, more air gets into it, and the rice grows stronger. Farmers do not need to use so many chemicals, so the water and the soil stay clean. 　　This clever system is over 1,000 years old. In 2005, it was named an important farming heritage （农业遗产） by the United Nations. Scientists say it is a good example of how people can make use of nature without hurting it. 　　"Rice and fish help each other," a farmer says. "Nobody is the boss here. We just follow what nature already does, and nature gives us more in return." 任务一：单项选择 1. Why do the fish help the rice grow? A. They eat insects and weeds and keep the water moving.　B. They eat the rice plants. C. They make the field colder.　D. They bring more rain to the field. 2. What can we learn from the rice-fish system? A. Farmers should use more chemicals.　B. People can use nature without hurting it. C. Fish are more important than rice.　D. Old ways are always wrong. 任务二：判断正误（T/F） 3. The rice-fish system is over 1,000 years old. （　　） 4. Farmers in Qingtian need a lot of chemicals to grow rice. （　　） 任务三：简答 5. How does the fish waste help the rice? _______________________________________________________________________________ 任务四：单元微写作 　　用疑问词引导的宾语从句写一段短文，介绍人们如何利用自然资源：说说人们做了什么、为什么要这样做、怎样做到的、带来了什么好处。不少于8句话，请使用 understand why、find out how、know when、explain what、the laws of nature、make use of、live with nature 等表达。 _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 夯实基础 一、单词汉译英　1. check　2. energetic　3. dangerous　4. island　5. travel　6. safe　7. guide　8. react　9. survive　10. desert　11. energy　12. resource 二、短语汉译英　1. the laws of nature　2. according to　3. be careful of　4. live on　5. live with　6. find out　7. take a risk　8. depend on 三、词形变换　1. dangerous　2. safely　3. survival　4. energetic　5. reaction 能力进阶 一、单句填空　1. why　2. what　3. when　4. where　5. how 二、完成句子　1. why; happened　2. what; is　3. how; survive　4. how; works　5. when; plant 三、句型转换　1.

The fish waste becomes food for the rice plants.（言之有理即可） 任务四范文：People have found out how to make good use of natural resources. In Turpan, people wondered how they could grow food in such a dry place. They found out that they could build the karez system to carry water from the mountains through underground canals. This explains why the water stays cool in the desert heat. Farmers also understand when to plant and when to harvest by following the 24 Solar Terms. In Qingtian, people know that rice and fish can help each other, so they put fish into their rice fields. I think these examples show us the laws of nature. If we understand how nature works, we can live with it in a better way. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
