课前学习任务
请在书本54、55、56页划出单词表里及以下的词组以及句型。1 词汇：keeper ,prepare ,run over ,excitement , walk into , fall over , die from illnesses , bamboo forests , cut down , endangered animals, remaining forests , make artwork , wild animals , government 2 知识链接：大熊猫分布于中国甘肃，陕西，四川（地区灭绝：湖北、湖南 ）。生活在海拔2600～3500米的茂密竹林里, 大熊猫具有不惧寒湿，从不冬眠的性格。大熊猫每天除去一半进食的时间，剩下的一半时间多数便是在睡梦中度过。大熊猫的食性是其最为奇特和有趣的习性之一，因为它几乎完全靠吃竹子为生。一只体重100公斤的成年大熊猫，在春天每天要花12～16小时，吃掉10～18千克的竹叶和竹杆，或者30～38千克的新鲜竹笋。它们一生中产仔数量少，且幼仔不易成活。全球现存的野外大熊猫数量1590多只，大约还有200只生活在中国或其他国家的动物园或研究中心。.大熊猫的数量已不多，我们可以通过下面方式来保护他们：1.不去轻易打扰它们，还他们自己的领地。
2.可以与同学一同在社会上宣传关于与大熊猫保护的知识。
3.如果你热心的话，可以为它们去做一些义务工作，像种竹子等等。
