Watch the video and answer the questions.
Watch the video and answer the questions.
1.Are humans part of Earth’s ecosystems Why
2.In what ways can humans affect ecosystems
Yes. Humans are part of Earth's ecosystems.
Because all living things live in ecosystems and people are living things.
Positive: people can plant trees, feed and protect animals, recycle things and so on.
Negative: The air and water pollution and excessive waste.
Look at the satellite images and answer the questions.
1.What is happening to the area
according to the satellite images
Aral Sea is becoming smaller and smaller/shrinking.
Look at the satellite images and answer the questions.
2.What do you think a later satellite image would show
Subsequent satellite images will show the Northern Aral Sea as the only blue spot, while the Southern Aral Sea will completely degenerate into a saline-alkali desert and scattered salt marshes. Salt dust activities on the lake bed will become the new normal. The superimposed effect of human activities and climate change has made the Aral Sea a typical remote sensing sample of the global ecological crisis.
后续卫星影像将以北咸海为唯一蓝色斑点，南咸海彻底退化为盐碱荒漠与零星盐沼，湖床盐尘活动成为新常态。人类活动与气候变化的叠加效应，使咸海成为全球生态危机的典型遥感样本。
Look at the satellite images and answer the questions.
3.What do you think caused these changes
The core of the shrinking of the Aral Sea is The predatory exploitation of water resources by human activities (accounting for more than 70%), combined with the amplification effect of climate change , forming a vicious cycle of "increased water use → shrinking of lakes → ecological deterioration → need for more water". The absence of cross-border governance and dam projects have accelerated the imbalance of regional water resources.
咸海萎缩的核心是 人类活动对水资源的掠夺性开发 （占比超70%），叠加 气候变化 的放大效应，形成"用水增加→湖泊萎缩→生态恶化→需更多水"的死循环。跨境治理缺位与大坝工程则加速了区域水资源的失衡。
拓展：
The Aral Sea Crisis
The Aral Sea is situated in Central Asia, between Kazakhstan to the north and Uzbekistan to the south. It was once the world's fourth largest lake, and contained 10 grammes of salt per litre. The rivers flowing into the Aral Sea are the river Syr Darya from the north and the river Amu Darya from the south. In the 1960s, the two rivers were diverted away from the Aral Sea so that people could irrigate the surrounding desert region and focus on cotton production.
As a result, the Aral Sea has been decreasing in size, and by 1997, it had shrunk to a tenth of its original size, splitting into four lakes. By 2009, the south-eastern lake had disappeared altogether, and the south-western lake had been reduced to a thin strip, with a salinity level of more than 110 grammes per litre. This shrinking of the Aral Sea became known as "one of the planet's worst environmental disasters"; the decline of the once-thriving fishing industry brings unemployment and economic hardship to the surrounding region.
咸海危机
咸海位于中亚，北临哈萨克斯坦，南临乌兹别克斯坦。它曾经是世界第四大湖泊，每升含盐10克。流入咸海的河流是北部的锡尔河和南部的阿姆河。20世纪60年代，两条河流从咸海改道，人们可以灌溉周围的沙漠地区，并专注于棉花生产。
结果，咸海的面积一直在缩小，到1997年，它已经缩小到原来的十分之一，分成了四个湖。到2009年，东南部的湖泊完全消失，西南部的湖泊已经减少到一条细带，盐度水平超过110克/升。咸海的萎缩被称为“地球上最严重的环境灾难之一”；曾经繁荣的捕鱼业的衰落给周边地区带来了失业和经济困难。

Read the passage and find out what happened to Macquarie Island.
MACOUARIE ISLAND:
from Ehaos to Eonservation
Non-native species introduced to Macquarie Island attacked native birds, and led to a substantial reduction of bird population and even the extinction of parakeets. In addition, nonnative species ate and devastated the native vegetation. All of this played a part in upsetting the natural harmony of the island.But now the island's ecology is on the road to recovery with human efforts.

Grammer
Nor would they fail to imagine how its native inhabitants... existed in perfect harmony with their natural habitat for thousands of years.
否定词（组）置于句首引起的部分倒装
在否定句中如果要强调该句中的否定概念时，可以将否定词提前放在句首，这时句子的结构要发生部分倒装的转变，即将句中原来谓语动词中的助动词、情态动词或连系动词be放在该句主语的前面。
本句中的否定词Nor与所在课文中上一句的No遥相呼应，表示“也不……”，并且其位置位于本句句首，故将谓语动词中的情态动词would提至主语前，形成部分倒装。
Grammer
另外nor还常用于日常会话当中，表示前面所陈述的事实也适合于另一主语，意为“……也不”，也可以用neither。如果表达肯定概念，即“……也是”，则用so。这两种用法皆使用部分倒装，如：
—I have never seen so beautiful a place.我从未见过如此美丽的地方。
—Neither/Nor have I.我也没有。
—I will stay here without going anywhere.我会待在这里哪儿也不去。
—So will I.我也是。
rarely, hardly, seldom, never, barely, little, few等一系列能够表示否定意义或半否定意义的副词，及具有否定含义的介词短语on no account, in no case, in no way, by no means, under no circumstances等。
Seldom did he concentrate on anything other than study. 他儿乎不关注除学习以外的事情。
By no means should a child play with fire. 小孩决不能玩火。

好消息是,关于你家里的颜色,你只需要作三种决定。
Grammer
Nor would they fail to imagine how its native inhabitants... existed in perfect harmony with their natural habitat for thousands of years.
否定词（组）置于句首引起的部分倒装
在否定句中如果要强调该句中的否定概念时，可以将否定词提前放在句首，这时句子的结构要发生部分倒装的转变，即将句中原来谓语动词中的助动词、情态动词或连系动词be放在该句主语的前面。
本句中的否定词Nor与所在课文中上一句的No遥相呼应，表示“也不……”，并且其位置位于本句句首，故将谓语动词中的情态动词would提至主语前，形成部分倒装。
Grammer
另外nor还常用于日常会话当中，表示前面所陈述的事实也适合于另一主语，意为“……也不”，也可以用neither。如果表达肯定概念，即“……也是”，则用so。这两种用法皆使用部分倒装，如：
—I have never seen so beautiful a place.我从未见过如此美丽的地方。
—Neither/Nor have I.我也没有。
—I will stay here without going anywhere.我会待在这里哪儿也不去。
—So will I.我也是。
rarely, hardly, seldom, never, barely, little, few等一系列能够表示否定意义或半否定意义的副词，及具有否定含义的介词短语on no account, in no case, in no way, by no means, under no circumstances等。
Seldom did he concentrate on anything other than study. 他儿乎不关注除学习以外的事情。
By no means should a child play with fire. 小孩决不能玩火。
