重点探究
Dr.Chip Taylor teaches biology at a university in the United States. He studies one kind of North American butterfly. Just like a migrating bird, this butterfly travels about 4000 kilometres south in fall.Fantastic facts about the butterfly have been drawing Dr.Taylor’s attention.
In Mexico, the butterflies always return to the same small piece of forest, which is only 20 kilometres wide.Here,as many as 230 million butterflies spend the winter.They can cover some trees almost completely.The butterflies that return to the south are the great-great grandchildren of the butterflies that left for the north.When they begin to travel north in spring, the females lay eggs. They lay eggs on only one plant:milkweed.
But in Mexico, people cut down the trees that the butterflies need to rest on beacause they want more land for farming. In the United States and Canada, farmers use chemicals that kill milkweed. This worries Dr.Tayor a lot.
Now things are improving. Mexico has begun to protect parts of its forests. The United States and Canada have encouraged farmers to use less chemicals.
Scientists still don’t understand how the butterflies know when to fly south. If they are even a few days late, they will freeze. And how do all the great-great grandchildren find the same forest in Mexico every year This is both puzzling and interesting for many scientists.
There are many mysteries yet to be discovered by those interested in science. Would you like to study biology

拓展提升
1.Fantastic facts about the butterfly have been drawing Dr.taylor 's attention.
drawing one's attention 意为“引起某人的注意”,
与call one's attention 同义。
此处attention用作不可数名词,意为“注意,留心”。
e.g.The facts drew some people's attention.
2.Here, as many as 230 millon butterflies spend the winter.
as many as 意为“多达......”
e.g.There are many as 3000 as students in our school.
否定形式:not as/so... as...
3.Here,as many as 230 million butterflies spend the winter.
e.g. Well, I spend a lot of time watching movies.
spend:度过,花(钱/时间)
过去式和过去分词都是spent。
相关短语:spend time/money(in) doing sth.
spend time/money on sth.
spend time with sb.
4.The experiments that we did yesterday were fantastic.
that引导定语从句,关系代词that代替先行词experiments在定语从句中作did的宾语,可省略。此时,也可使用关系代词which。
【拓展】在下列情况下,关系代词只能使用that而不能使用which:
不定代词作先行词时;先行词前有序数词或形容词的最高级时;先行词中既有人也有物时;先行词前有the only, just, next等词修饰时;当主句是who/which开头的特殊疑问句时。
