Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America.
陶渊明和亨利·大卫·梭罗都是诗人，但一个生活在古代中国，另一个生活在19世纪的美国。
Superficially, these two men, whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1，500 years, were polar opposites.
从表面上看，这两个人的生活在时间上相差近1，500年，是完全不一样的。

然而，他们都对大自然怀有强烈的敬意，这使他们在各自的时代成为有影响力的人物。

Both men made dramatic transformations to their lives in order to reconnect with nature.
为了重新与大自然接触，两人都对自己的生活进行了巨大的转变。
As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao felt conflicted over life at court.
作为东晋的一名官员，陶渊明感到了官场生活的矛盾。
In 405, he quit the service of the court for good, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”．

词句自测 ③bow v. 鞠躬 ④“主(he)谓(quit)宾(the service of the court)”。that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”是同位语从句，进一步解释说明line。
He spent the next 22 years until his death, working the land in a poor, rural area.
在他去世前的22年里，他一直在贫穷的农村地区劳作。
From his poetry, we can learn that although his life was arduous, he succeeded in finding contentment in its simplicity and in drawing pleasure from nature.

He explained his reason for doing so in Walden: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.”
他在《瓦尔登湖》中解释了他这样做的原因：“我去森林是因为我希望活得从容，仅面对生活的本质。”

课后课时作业
Ⅰ 阅读
It was the first time I had watched him carefully. Before that, Jack had just been the friendly young man assigned by the hotel to help me on trips into the wildlife park nearby. But then he caught my attention by asking me to shut up.
“It's just a garden spider, don't scream (尖叫)！” he said, looking at the small thing with more love than I could find in others. I had indeed screamed, but a spider was on my clothes, and we were in the jeep in the middle of the wildlife park.
I wanted him to pick the thing up and throw it out of the jeep right at that moment. However, he did something quite else. He gently let the spider onto his own knee and drove on, as if nothing had happened. I sat there staring at the spider for any sudden movement—if a tiger had walked by then, I would not have even looked at it.
I was frightened that the man was completely OK with a spider on his knee. About 15 minutes later, he pushed his knee forward to the dashboard (仪表盘) and the spider immediately climbed off his knee and onto the jeep. “The poor thing had been trying to get off me，” he said. “I only sensed that it was trying to reach the dashboard, so I helped it.”
I wondered then about this man, who thought about the spider with such kindness. Where and when did I lose my love towards the unfamiliar Now, when faced with a row of ants in my way, my first thought is no longer to attack them. I just skip over them and we both carry on. The ants were already wise, but thanks to Jack, I learned to live with the not so beautiful bits of nature.

Ⅱ 七选五
Keeping curious kids from disrupting wildlife
Interacting with the wild, naturally curious kids tend to collect seashells at the beach or keep small wildlife as pets. __1__ So how to help kids protect the wild while enjoying spending time outsides Here are alternatives for some of the most common outdoor behavior no nos.
Take an interest, not things. Kids show interest in picking flowers, rocks, or shells outdoors. They're part of wildlife's habitat and play an important role. __2__ Let kids explore with a magnifying glass (放大镜) instead of their curious fingers. Let whatever they find outside stay outside.
__3__ It seems a fun idea to throw pieces of bread to ducks. Animals have unique dietary needs that are different from humans. Eating human food can make them sick or become dependent on human food. Bears are an example of animals that often have to be killed after developing a taste for human food.
Admire animal afar, not disrupt nearby. The urge to take a photo with a squirrel, bird, or slow moving turtle can be strong for kids. __4__ Instead, remind kids to stay away and show them how to use a camera's zoom button, or just admire with their eyes.
Take well worn paths, not off road romps (嬉戏). Kicking piles of leaves, stepping on bushes, and walking through forested areas can unintentionally scare wildlife. If surprised animals defend their homes, everyone could get hurt. Nobody likes having a guest come in and destroy their home and act rudely. __5__
A．Keep snacks away from animals.
B．Share food if animals are hungry.
C．Exposure to them develops kids' love and curiosity.
D．The same rule applies to visiting wildlife in their homes.
E．Animals rely on plants for hiding; rocks and shells, for homes.
F．Approaching animals disrupts what they do for survival, such as eating.
G．Despite innocent purposes, kids' curiosity accidentally damages the wild.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助好奇的孩子们接近自然，又不会打扰野生动物的方法。
1．答案：G
解析：上文“Interacting with ... as pets.”提到孩子们喜欢与野生动物互动，G项(尽管目的单纯，孩子们的好奇心意外地破坏了野生环境。)承接上文，提出孩子在和野生动物互动的过程中可能会意外地破坏野生环境的问题，同时引出下文“So how to help kids ... spending time outsides？(那么如何帮助孩子们在享受户外时光的同时保护自然环境呢？)”。故选G。
2．答案：E
解析：上文“Kids show interest ... play an important role.”提到孩子们所感兴趣的花朵、岩石或贝壳正是野生动物栖息地的一部分，起着重要作用，E项(动物依靠植物来躲藏，依靠岩石和贝壳作为家园。)承接上文，具体说明这些东西的作用。故选E。
3．答案：A
解析：下文“Animals have unique dietary needs ... dependent on human food.”说明向动物投送零食是不正确的行为，A项(让零食远离动物。)概括本段主题。选项中的snacks和下文中的dietary needs以及food呼应。故选A。
4．答案：F
解析：本段主题句“Admire animal afar, not disrupt nearby.”提到远远地欣赏动物，不要在附近扰乱它们。F项(靠近动物会扰乱它们为生存所做的事情，比如吃东西。)具体解释靠近动物对动物生存的影响，符合语境。故选F。
5．答案：D
解析：上文“Nobody likes having ... act rudely.”说明人们不喜欢有人闯进家来，破坏居住环境，且行为粗鲁，D项(同样的规则也适用于参观野生动物的家园。)承接上文。故选D。
Ⅲ 应用文写作
假定你是李华，你们学校将举办以“Protect Wild Animals”为主题的英语演讲比赛。请你根据以下提示写一篇英语演讲稿：
1．野生动物的现状(过度猎捕)；
2．保护建议(建保护区、提高保护意识等)；
3．美好愿景。
注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右；
2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；
3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
参考词汇：自然保护区 nature reserve；意识 awareness
Good morning, everyone!
Thank you!
[精彩范文]
Good morning, everyone!
I'm very glad to give a speech today. The topic of my speech is Protect Wild Animals.
As we all know, animals play a part in keeping the balance of nature. Unfortunately they are being over hunted, and some of them are dying out. So it is urgent to take some measures to protect them. First, we must build nature reserves. Second, we should raise our awareness of environmental protection. To harm animals is to harm ourselves. Therefore, let's take the responsibility and do what we can to protect them. I hope in the future we can live harmoniously and happily together with animals.
Thank you!

课后课时作业
Ⅰ 阅读
It was the first time I had watched him carefully. Before that, Jack had just been the friendly young man assigned by the hotel to help me on trips into the wildlife park nearby. But then he caught my attention by asking me to shut up.
“It's just a garden spider, don't scream (尖叫)！” he said, looking at the small thing with more love than I could find in others. I had indeed screamed, but a spider was on my clothes, and we were in the jeep in the middle of the wildlife park.
I wanted him to pick the thing up and throw it out of the jeep right at that moment. However, he did something quite else. He gently let the spider onto his own knee and drove on, as if nothing had happened. I sat there staring at the spider for any sudden movement—if a tiger had walked by then, I would not have even looked at it.
I was frightened that the man was completely OK with a spider on his knee. About 15 minutes later, he pushed his knee forward to the dashboard (仪表盘) and the spider immediately climbed off his knee and onto the jeep. “The poor thing had been trying to get off me，” he said. “I only sensed that it was trying to reach the dashboard, so I helped it.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去野生动物园旅行的时候，从Jack (杰克)身上学到了要与大自然友好共存。
I wondered then about this man, who thought about the spider with such kindness. Where and when did I lose my love towards the unfamiliar Now, when faced with a row of ants in my way, my first thought is no longer to attack them. I just skip over them and we both carry on. The ants were already wise, but thanks to Jack, I learned to live with the not so beautiful bits of nature.

A．Let it move onto his leg.
B．Throw it out of their jeep.
C．Feed it to the tiger walking by.
D．Put it on the jeep's dashboard.

B．A wildlife park adventure.
C．A spider living in a nature park.
D．A love lesson learned from a young man.

Ⅱ 七选五
Keeping curious kids from disrupting wildlife
Interacting with the wild, naturally curious kids tend to collect seashells at the beach or keep small wildlife as pets. __1__ So how to help kids protect the wild while enjoying spending time outsides Here are alternatives for some of the most common outdoor behavior no nos.
Take an interest, not things. Kids show interest in picking flowers, rocks, or shells outdoors. They're part of wildlife's habitat and play an important role. __2__ Let kids explore with a magnifying glass (放大镜) instead of their curious fingers. Let whatever they find outside stay outside.
__3__ It seems a fun idea to throw pieces of bread to ducks. Animals have unique dietary needs that are different from humans. Eating human food can make them sick or become dependent on human food. Bears are an example of animals that often have to be killed after developing a taste for human food.
Admire animal afar, not disrupt nearby. The urge to take a photo with a squirrel, bird, or slow moving turtle can be strong for kids. __4__ Instead, remind kids to stay away and show them how to use a camera's zoom button, or just admire with their eyes.
Take well worn paths, not off road romps (嬉戏). Kicking piles of leaves, stepping on bushes, and walking through forested areas can unintentionally scare wildlife. If surprised animals defend their homes, everyone could get hurt. Nobody likes having a guest come in and destroy their home and act rudely. __5__
A．Keep snacks away from animals.
B．Share food if animals are hungry.
C．Exposure to them develops kids' love and curiosity.
D．The same rule applies to visiting wildlife in their homes.
E．Animals rely on plants for hiding; rocks and shells, for homes.
F．Approaching animals disrupts what they do for survival, such as eating.
G．Despite innocent purposes, kids' curiosity accidentally damages the wild.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了帮助好奇的孩子们接近自然，又不会打扰野生动物的方法。
1．答案：G
解析：上文“Interacting with ... as pets.”提到孩子们喜欢与野生动物互动，G项(尽管目的单纯，孩子们的好奇心意外地破坏了野生环境。)承接上文，提出孩子在和野生动物互动的过程中可能会意外地破坏野生环境的问题，同时引出下文“So how to help kids ... spending time outsides？(那么如何帮助孩子们在享受户外时光的同时保护自然环境呢？)”。故选G。
2．答案：E
解析：上文“Kids show interest ... play an important role.”提到孩子们所感兴趣的花朵、岩石或贝壳正是野生动物栖息地的一部分，起着重要作用，E项(动物依靠植物来躲藏，依靠岩石和贝壳作为家园。)承接上文，具体说明这些东西的作用。故选E。
3．答案：A
解析：下文“Animals have unique dietary needs ... dependent on human food.”说明向动物投送零食是不正确的行为，A项(让零食远离动物。)概括本段主题。选项中的snacks和下文中的dietary needs以及food呼应。故选A。
4．答案：F
解析：本段主题句“Admire animal afar, not disrupt nearby.”提到远远地欣赏动物，不要在附近扰乱它们。F项(靠近动物会扰乱它们为生存所做的事情，比如吃东西。)具体解释靠近动物对动物生存的影响，符合语境。故选F。
5．答案：D
解析：上文“Nobody likes having ... act rudely.”说明人们不喜欢有人闯进家来，破坏居住环境，且行为粗鲁，D项(同样的规则也适用于参观野生动物的家园。)承接上文。故选D。

Good morning, everyone!
I'm very glad to give a speech today. The topic of my speech is Protect Wild Animals.
As we all know, animals play a part in keeping the balance of nature. Unfortunately they are being over hunted, and some of them are dying out. So it is urgent to take some measures to protect them. First, we must build nature reserves. Second, we should raise our awareness of environmental protection. To harm animals is to harm ourselves. Therefore, let's take the responsibility and do what we can to protect them. I hope in the future we can live harmoniously and happily together with animals.
Thank you!
