鲸的体型是世界上存在的动物中最大的，鲸是终生生活在水中的哺乳动物，对水的依赖程度很大，以致它们一旦离开了水便无法生活，鲸形状像鱼，鼻孔在头的上部，用肺呼吸。体长可达三十米，是现在世界上最大的动物。
鲸为适应水中生活，减少阻力，它们的后肢消失，前肢变成划水的浆板。身体成为流线型，酷似鱼。因而它们的潜水能力很强，小型齿鲸可潜至100-300米的水深处，停留4-5分钟，长须鲸可在水下300-500米处待上1小时，最大的齿鲸--抹香鲸能潜至千米以下，并在水中持续2小时之久。

Whales are huge animals. They live in the sea and eat small fish and other sea life. One interesting fact is whales can jump high out of water. Some kinds of whales are in danger because humans catch them for meat, fat, and oil, and use whale parts to make candles and soaps.
Whales are also in danger from water pollution. We should protect whales by making rules on whale protection and by not putting rubbish into the sea. I think people should learn more about whales.
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，表示“某人摇醒他人”等。
①At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the
babies are already awake and hungry.
You would have to shake her awake.

He was wide awake by the time we reached my flat.
等我们到达我的住所时，他已经完全清醒过来了。
注意：awake不用于名词之前，因此用作定语时要后置。

Talk about pandas in your class. Use these words to help you.
This means moving your eyes quickly down the page to find specific information.
2b
Read the article to find out what these numbers mean: 10, 12, 300, 2,000.
阅读策略：Scanning
略读时，只需读每一段第一句话（较长的段落，读前两句）。第一句话常是整段讨论的主题。在结论段，重点可能在最后一句。阅读时，把文本标出来，是帮助回答问题好方法。可将关键词画线或在段落旁写下本段主题，一两个字就够了，关键在于涵盖全文的速度。
略读时遇到不懂单词，试观察前后字来猜出意思。比如，在不懂的单字前面是形容词，那么这个字可能会是名词；在不懂的单字之前是副词，那么这个字可能会是动词。只要了解段落大意就好了。
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 bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down these forests. As the forests get 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 tell children 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.
