【讲解】be like= look like= be similar to像，看起来像。如：

= He looks like his father.= He is similar to his father.
这里的like作介词讲，意思为“像”，like还可作动词用，表示“喜欢”，like （doing）sth.喜欢做某事。如：
He likes his father very much.他很喜欢他的父亲。
Mary likes playing volleyball.玛丽喜欢打排球。

大象的远亲,海牛与陆生牛一样都是哺乳动物.近亿年前，由于大自然的变迁或缺乏御牧能力而被迫下海谋生。
海牛的户籍
海牛隶于海洋哺乳动物海牛目，世界上有三种：西非海牛、南美海牛（亚马逊海牛）、北美海牛（加勒比海牛、西印度海牛）
海牛的模样有“美人鱼”之说。其实，它的“面相”实在令人不敢恭维水中除草机”
海牛是海洋中唯一的草食哺乳动物，海牛的食量很大，每天能吃水草相当体重的5％－10％。肠子长达30米，是典型的草食动物。它吃草象卷地毯一般，一片一片地吃过去，誉有“水中除草机”之称
海牛濒临灭绝 海牛长期遭到捕杀。因为海牛肉细嫩味美，脂肪含有丰富的对人体有益的DHA和EPA，还可以提炼润滑油，皮可以制耐磨皮革，甚至肋骨也可作象牙的代用品，全身是宝。这是导致它灭绝的根本原因。
为了不使海牛成为昔日的恐龙，近年来，加勒比海周围各国除了划定海中禁捕区，还成立了各种宣传和保护海牛的“俱乐部”。据最近一次调查，加勒比海牛只有2600头，也有人说仅有千头左右。墨西哥政府赠送给我国的海牛，可见其珍贵程度。

句型小结：主语＋be＋数词＋单位＋形容词。how是个使用频率很高的单词，它常与其他词构成—些固定的搭
用来对事物进行询问。how big常用来对体积、重量进行提问，意思是“多大；多重”。bow long常用来对长度、时间进行提问，意思是“多长；多长时间”。how much, how many常用来对数量进行提问，意思是“多少”，前者用来对不可数名词提问，后者用来对可数名词提问。 how far常用来对距离进行提问，意思是“多远”。 how old常用来对年龄进行提问，意思是“多大年纪；多少岁”，不过需要注意除了公务、长辈对晚辈、上级对下级可以询问年龄外不要询问他人的年尤其妇女的年龄，在西方人看来，这是他们的隐私。how often，how soon都以用来时间提问，前者的意思是“多长时间一次”询问频率的，后者意思是“再多久”，询问“以后”的时间。
例如：How many minutes are there in an hour? 一个小时有多少分钟
How much milk is there in the glass? 杯子里有多少牛奶？
How long is the bridge? It's about 5 kilometers．这座桥有多长？大约5千米长。

极小的3a Dear Editor,
I am writing to say that I am against building a new zoo in our town. Zoos are terrible places for animals to live. I've visited a lot of zoos in my life, and I have never seen one I liked or one that was suitable for animals to live in. Just last week, I visited a zoo and couldn't believe what I saw. The animals are kept in tiny cages and can hardly move at all. And they are only given food once a day. Is this a good way for animals to live? I don't think so.
Sincerely ,
Disgusted
Answer my questions:
Why does Disgusted want to write this letter ?
Has he visited any zoos yet ?
What did he think of those zoos ?
Can you list the reasons that Disgusted is against ? What are they ?读读这封给编辑的信，在作者反对建造动物园的理由下面划线 1 ，I am writing to say that I am against building a new zoo in our town.我写信的目的是要表明我反对在镇上新建一座动物园。
【讲解】against（反对、违反‘与……相反（同义词：opposite to）
如：Are most people against the proposal? 大多数人反对这项提议吗？
against（介）触，碰，倚，靠。
如：Put the piano there, with its back, against the wall.
把钢琴放在那里，背靠着墙。
（2）be against（doing）sth.意为“反对（做）某事”，
反义词组是be for（doing）sth.意思是“赞成（做）某事”。
如：All the people around the world are against cloning human beings.全世界的人民都反对克隆人类。
All of us are for peace and against war.我们都赞成和平，反对战争。
提示play against 表示“与……进行比赛”；play for 则表示“效力于……”
①Our school football team will play against the team of stars next week.
我们学校足球队下周将同明星队比赛。
②Who are you against? 你反对谁？
③We should be against cutting down trees.我们应该反对砍伐树木。
2 I’ve visited a lot of zoos in my life，and I have never seen one I liked or one that was suitable for animals to live in.我参观过许多动物园，至今还没看到过一座我喜欢的或是适合动物居住的动物园。
【讲解】（1）be suitable for sb.to do sth.表示“适合某人做某事”，这里suitable 是suit的形容词形式，表示“合适的”
如：This kind of bamboo is not suitable for pandas to eat.这种竹子不适合给熊猫吃。
This dress suits you very much，but unfortunately it
doesn’t fit you.这套女装款式非常适合你，只可惜大小不合身。
（2）to live in在此处作animals的后置定语。英语中动词不定式短语作名词定语，放在后面。
如：
There is nothing for us to worry about.我们没有什么可以担心的。3 The animals are kept in tiny cages and can hardly move at all.
动物们被关进小笼子里，几乎都不能动弹。
【讲解】①are kept in tiny cages“被关在小笼子里”。be kept in...意为“被保存/放在……里。”
②hardly move at all“几乎不能动”。hardly副词，意为almost not“几乎不”表示否定。例如：
He could hardly say a word, could he?他几乎不能说话，是吗？
【应用】①Food should be kept in fridges in summer.
夏天，食品应该保存在冰箱里。
②这药应放在阴凉处。The medicine should be kept in a cool place.
③We can hardly hear what he says.我们几乎听不见他说的话。
tiny（adj.）“很小的”，与little通用，两者均带有感彩区别：
the tiny country国家小（含可爱的意思）
a small country（小国家）与a large country相对应。
a small boy年龄小、身材小而可爱的孩子
a little boy爱怜之意（不含身材矮小）
tiny和little常作定语，一般不作表语。small既作定语，也可作表语。
little有时还可表示“一点点的”，修饰不可数名词。如：
There is a little milk in the bottle.瓶里有一点点（或少量）牛奶
Be suitable for ……. 对。。。合适。。。

I visited our zoo yesterday and I was very surprised to find hardly anyone there. Zoos are very important places. They are like living textbooks for young people. They provide homes for many endangered animals and help to educate the public about caring for them. If we don't support our zoos, they won't have enough money to take care of so many fine animals. I urge all of your readers to visit our wonderful zoo soon.
Sincerely,

True of False Questions:
(1). The zoo that the writer visited was very crowded. ( )
(2). He thinks the zoos are better homes for many endangered animals. ( )
(3). The writer is strongly against for keeping the animals in the zoos.( )FTF读一读这封给编辑的信。你同意“令人讨厌的人”或者说“动物的朋友”的意见吗?
给编辑写一封信谈谈你的看法。1 , I was surprised to find hardly anyone there.我非常惊讶地发现在那儿几乎没有人。
【讲解】surprised在这里是过去分词作形容词。
常用词组: be surprised at sth.对某事感到惊讶 be surprised to do sth.很惊讶地做某事 in surprise惊奇地 to one’s surprise使某人惊讶地。
如：I was surprised at the news/to hear the news.听到这个消息我很吃惊。
surprise（v.）使……惊讶（同义词amaze） surprising（adj.）惊讶的（侧重指事物本身具有的特点），如：
His words surprised me.他的话使我大吃一惊。
It is surprising news.它是一个令人惊讶的消息。

②让我们惊讶的是，他通过了考试。To our surprise, he passed the exam.
③We were surprised at the result.我们对这个结果感到惊讶。
④The news surprised everyone.这消息让所有人感到意

【点拨】以-ed结尾的形容词常形容人，以-ing结尾的形容词常指物，类似的用法还有：interested/interesting, excited/exciting, amazed/amazing, bored/boring, etc.
Educate ( ) education ( ) educator ( ) educated( )
Educational( )
2 They provide homes for many endangered animals, and help to educate the public about caring for them.它们为许多濒临灭绝的动物提供家园，而且教育公众关爱动物。
①provide homes for many endangered animals= provide many endangered animals with homes为许多濒临灭绝的动物提供家园。
provide动词，意为“供应，供给，提供”。常与介词for或with连用。即provide sth for sb= provide sb with sth为……提供……。
如： The firm provided me with a car.公司给我一辆汽车。
Can you provide accommodation for thirty people? 你能为30人提供住宿
②provide for sb.供应某人所需。如：
They worked hard to provide for their large family.他们努力工作以供养一家人。
He has a large family to provide for.他要养活一个大家庭
区别care，careful和carefully
care用作名词，意为“保护，关心，照料”常见词组有take care of照看，看管。
care用作动词，意为“关心，担心，介意，照料”。常见词组有：
care about sb /sth关心……；care for sb /sth 看护，照料，爱护。
careful 形容词，意为“小心的，仔细的，认真的”。反义词为careless. carefully副词，意为“认真地，仔细地”；反义词为carelessly.应用】①The school canteen provides us with three meals a day.
（写出同义句）The school canteen provides three meals a day for us.
②He cares about nobody but himself.他除了对自己以外，对谁都不关心。
③It’s our duty to care for endangered animals.照料濒临灭绝动物是我们的责。
（2）the public指“民众，公众”。在英语中，定冠词the后接形容词表示一类人。如：the young年轻人 the wounded受伤的人
3 , I urge all of your readers to visit our wonderful zoo soon.我们竭力主张你们所有的读者赶快来参观我们的很棒的动物园。
【讲解】urge（v.）力劝、鼓励，怂恿，极力主张，强调。
urge sb to do sth
如：They urged us to go with them.他们怂恿我们一起去。
He urged us to finish our homework．他催促我们去完成作业。

他极力劝我上大学。
2) that引导的从句（从句用虚拟语气）。例如：
They urged that we（should）take these steps.
他们极力主张我们采取这些步骤。
3) urge表示“鼓励；促成；驱使”时，其后还可跟名词。例如：
He urged his horse forward.
他策马前进。

昨天我去参观了我们的动物园，我吃惊地发现那儿几乎没有人。 动物园是很

Animal Friend
动物的朋友分成两队。A队认为动物园对动物来说不好。B队不同意这种看法。用下面的方式，轮流发表看法。 Practice in groups:1.S1 : I think that animals shouldn’t be kept in zoos．
S2 : I believe that animals in zoos live longer than animals in the jungle.
2. S1: I think that animals should not live in zoos．
S2 : I disagree with you.I feel that zoos provide clean and safe places for endangered animals to live.3.S1: I think that zoos are not suitable for animals to live in．
S2: Why do you think so?
S1: Because animals there are only given food once a day.They’re hungry．
S2: I disagree with you． I believe that many animals only eat once a day or once every few days． So, there is no need to worry about that．
Make a report Today we had a dicussion of whether we need to build zoos to prtcect the endangered animals. _________________________________________
_________________________________________Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all over the world. Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. Thirdly, zoos protect the animals and keep them from becoming extinct. Pros:Cons: Most animals are kept in small cages. Most cages are not clean, either. The food in the zoos is not natural. In the forest they can find the food by themselves.Summary Dear editor:
After reading the two letters, I realize that I must say something about animals and zoos． I don’t agree with Disgusted．In fact, many animals only eat once a day or once every few days, so feeding them just once a day is not a problem at all． I think zoos are very important to animals. They can stop many endangered animals from being killed or hunted．They can provide man with places for research work．Also we can visit the animals in the zoos to learn some knowledge to protect the animals better．

提示词语: wildlife(野生的) ,endangered, tiger, panda, destroy(破坏),fur, take measures(采取措施),plant, tree, build a birdhouseAnimals are our friends, but some of them are endangered because of pollution. As a middle school student, what can we do for the animals?Why should we protect wildlife animals?
Do you know of any endangered animals? Why are they in danger?
I think there are many endangered animals in the world, such as tigers and pandas. When farmers cut down trees, tigers can no longer hide and hunt. Many tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money. And there are few places where pandas can live.
We are not alone in the world. We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us. So protecting wildlife animals are very important. We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed. If each of us can plant a tree and build a birdhouse, the world will be more beautiful. It is very easy but useful.
