Qomolangma — the Most Dangerous Mountain in the World?One of the world’s most dangerous sports is mountain climbing, and one of the most popular places for this is the Himalayas. The Himalayas run along the southwestern part of China. Of all 3athe mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,844.43 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.The first people to reach the top were Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary on May 29, 1953. The first Chinese team did so in 1960, while the first woman to succeed was Junko Tabei from Japan in 1975.Why do so many climbers risk their lives? One of the main reasons is because people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.Paragraph 1Paragraph 2Paragraph 3Spirit of climbersAchievements of climbersFacts and dangersRead the article and match each paragraph with the main ideas.Paragraph 1List four dangers for climbers:thick cloudsSnow slideFreezing weather conditionsHeavy stormRead the article again and complete the chart.3bParagraph 2List three achievements:1953 - Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary were the first to reach the top1960 - The first Chinese team did so 1975 – The Japanese Junko Tabei succeeded doing so Paragraphs 1 & 3List four comparisons: most dangerous sportmost popular placesthe highest mountainthe most famous mountainWhere are the Himalayas?2.

Why do so many people try to climb this mountain even though it is dangerous?One of the main reasons is because people want to challenge themselves in the face of difficulties. 4. What does the spirit of the climbers tell us?The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams. It also shows that humans can sometimes be stronger than the forces of nature.1. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms.更加严峻的困难包括极冷的天气状况和巨大的风暴。 1）difficulty既可作可数名词也可作不可数名词，在此用作可数名词。Language points作可数名词时，difficulty通常用作复数，表示具体概念，即：各种各样的“困难；难题；难事”。例如：People learning a new language may face some difficulties.人们学习一门新的语言时可能会遇到一些困难。If you have any difficulties, you can call me forhelp.如果你遇到任何困难，给我打电话。作不可数名词时，difficulty可译作“困难；艰难；辛苦；费劲”，例如：He had great difficulty in finding a new job.他找新的工作费了很大劲。 We found the house without difficulty.我们轻而易举地找到了那座房子。2）include表示“包括；包含”，是一个及物动词。例如：Does your price of the bike include this light?你们的车价包含这盏车灯吗？ 2. The spirit of these climbers shows us that we should never give up trying to achieve our dreams.这些登山者的精神向我们表明：我们绝不应该放弃实现自己梦想的尝试。1）give up doing something 的意思是“放弃做某事；半途而废”He gave up learning a third language after he gotthe job.他找到工作之后就放弃了对第三门语言的学习。2 ) achieve our dreams 相当于make our dreams come true 其中动词achieve表示“（通过努力）实现；取得；获取；达到（梦想、成绩、成功、目的)”等。例如：He achieved great success in a short time.他用很短的时间取得了极大的成功。Lin Tao achieved very good exam results.林涛考试取得了很好的成绩。3. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms.山顶上浓云覆盖，而且雪可能下的很大。更严重的困难是冰冻天气和强烈的暴风雪。thick adj.1) 厚的；粗的How thick is the board?这块木板有多厚?2) 浓的，浓厚的；粘稠的；混浊的It is dangerous to drive in a thick fog.在浓雾天驾车很危险。freezing adj.冻结的；冰冻的；极冷的It’s freezing outside now.现在外面冷极了。It’s very cold today, the temperature has dropped to freezing point.今天很冷，温度降到了冰点。描述天气时，英语形容词与名词的搭配与汉语不尽一致，值得注意。此处thick clouds (密集的云层；厚密的云块)、freezing weather (极度寒冷的天气)和heavy storm(大暴雪/雨)就是颇具说服力的例子。与weather、storm、snow、cloud、air这五个本单元课文所出现的天气名词有关的部分描述性搭配： 表现“寒冷”时常与weather搭配的形容词： cold, freezing, icy 表现暴风雨之“凶猛”时部分与storm搭配 的常见形容词：bad, big, great, heavy, terrible, disastrous, fierce, tremendous, violent 表现snow之“强弱”时的搭配：heavy, thick, light 表现云层“疏密”时常与cloud搭配的形 容词：light, thick, heavy, dense表现“乌云”时cloud一词的常见搭配： black, dark, gray, dense表现空气“稀薄”、“浑浊”、“潮湿” 时与air搭配的形容词：thin, thick, humid4. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.1)动词不定式在作主语时，常用it作形式主语，而往往将动词不定式放在谓语或表语之后。 It’s not easy to learn a foreign language well.= To learn a foreign language well is not easy.学好一门外语不容易。2) take in 吸入；吞入(体内)take in: (to understand completely the meaning or importance of something)理解；领会；领悟Fish take in oxygen through their gills(鳃).I had to read the letter twice before I could take it all in.最危险的运动之一2. 登山，攀岩3. 全世界4. 中国的东南边境5. 山顶one of the most dangerous sportsmountain climbingin the worldthe southwestern part of Chinamountain topSummary6. 严寒的天气条件7. 大风暴8. 冒着生命危险9. 放弃10. 实现梦想freezing weather conditionheavy stormgive uprisk one’s lifeachieve one’s dreamEnglish-Chinese southwestern, condition, nature, force,Chinese-English 成就；厚的；包括；极冷的；吸入；实现目标；挑战；面对(问题、困难等)；达到；即使 Dictation1.

The skills require practice, but once you have got the hang of them you’ll find you can get through a substantial amount of reading in quite a short time. These reading methods make it easier for you to grasp large amounts of materials, especially when you're previewing. They are also useful when you don't need to know every word. 略读(skimming)只看文章标题、下标题以及每个部分或者段落第一行，关注文章中反复出现的关键词。 略读时，要用充足的时间读懂段落的第一句和第二句，因为第一句往往是该段的主题句(topic sentence)，而第二句往往是对前句的延伸(extension)或进一步的解释(explanation)。通过略读把握文章大意运用扫读(scanning)迅速浏览从第三句开始的后面部分，搜寻作者对开头两句的支持句(supporting sentences)，并同时注意文章中间是否有转折词(transition)，因为这些词常常会把文章的思路逆转或加入其它重要的信息。当读到段落的最后一句时，我们又要使用略读，这时必须再次放慢速度(slow down your pace)直到完全消化作者对段落的小结(conclusion)，因为该小结有可能与主题句截然相反或引导读者进入下一个段落。通过扫读寻找特定信息或特定词组titles and headingsthe first and last sentences of paragraphsthe first and last paragraphspictures and chartsScan the text forkey words and phrases, dates, etc.Do not need toread the whole text. It is 8:30 a.m. at the Chengdu Research Base. Panda keepers are preparing milk for the baby pandas’ breakfast. At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry. When the babies see the keepers, they run over to them with excitement and some of the young pandas even walk into their friends and fall over! Lin Wei, one of the panda keepers, says, “They’re so cute and lovely. I take care of them like they’re my own babies. I wash, feed and play with them every day. They’re very special to me.” In fact, many people around the world love these black and white animals. Pandas have become so popular that they are now a symbol of China. Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the forests. Another 300 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries. Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bambooforests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests. As the forestsget smaller and other human activities cause more problems, pandas cannot find enough to eat and they are having fewer babies. An education program in Chengdu teaches children about pandas and other endangered wild animals. They send people to schools to tellchildren about the importance of saving these animals. And the Chinese government is trying hard to help save the pandas. Scientists are doing research to better understand the habits of pandas. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas.At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babiesare already awake and hungry.英语中，awake常用于be, stay, keep, lie之后，作表语；但也可与shake等动词搭配，表“某人摇醒他人”等：你得把她给摇醒。You would have to shake her awake.Language points注意：awake不用于名词之前，因此用作定语时要后置。她是最后一个醒着的人。She was the last person awake.他是当时唯一醒着的男孩。He was the only one boy awake at that time.另外，awake不与very搭配使用，表示“完全醒来；十分清醒”用fully awake，wide awake。如：等我们到达我的住所时，他已经完全清醒过来了。He was wide awake by the time we reached my flat.她站起身，但还没有完全清醒。She rose, still not quite fully awake.2. Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. 1) 10 kilos of bamboo意为“10公斤竹子”，该结构是不可数名词量的表达法，其结构为“数词+单位名词+of+名词”。单位名词可以是单数，也可以是复数。2) spend … (in) doing sth.意为“花费……做某事”。They spent two years (in) building this bridge. 造这座桥花了他们两年时间。课时总结be / stay / keep / lie + awakeshake sb. awakeawake作定语时要后置。fully awake / wide awake 完全醒来；十分清醒数词+单位名词+of+名词spend … (in) doing sth. 花费……做某事SummaryEnglish-Chinese bamboo, keeper, illness, artwork, government, whale, oil, protectionChinese-English 濒危的；研究；醒着；激动；走路时撞着；绊倒；遗留的；大约；野生的；巨大的 DictationWhat is Lin Wei’s job?He is responsible for taking care of the pandas, including washing, feeding, playing with them.2.
