Unit 1 NATURE
Period 7
Review
I Man Asks Too Much From Nature.
What causes excessive cutting of trees Why are we exhausting forests
Because we human beings
use wood to build houses and bridges; we use wood to
make paper; we use wood to make furniture and guns, and chopsticks.
Wood is a necessity in our life. It will be terrible if we use them up one day.
review
Man as a species thrives in the world, and we need space for further development.
In some countries with long coast lines but short of flat ground, the government build long dikes to make land out of sea.
We tear up seas and get more land, but the after-effects are away beyond our control.
I Man Asks Too Much From Nature.

Question Time

III Answer the following questions.
Question Time
2. What might be the reasons why future generations “will be paupers when it comes to the offerings of natural world”
If people do not stop destroying the natural beauty, if people keep on using up natural resources, the balance of nature will be seriously damaged that nature will produce no more beauty and no more resources for the future generations.
III Answer the following questions.
Question Time
3. Do you think the author is calling on us to preserve nature or to appreciate nature Why
I think the author is calling on us to preserve nature.
Encouraging us to appreciate nature is to warn people that the beauty of nature is disappearing. And we shall do something to preserve the beauty. I think this is the message of the text.
III Answer the following questions.
Question Time
4. “Nature is an intrinsic part of our lives.” What does this
sentence mean

Written in March By Wordsworth
The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing，
The small birds twitter，
The lake doth glitter，
The green fields sleep in the sun;
The oldest and youngest
Are at work with the strongest;
The cattle are grazing，，
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!
Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated，，
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;;
The ploughboy is whooping--anon--anon
There's joy in the mountains;
There's life in the fountains，
Small clouds are sailing，
Blue sky prevailing，
The rain is over and gone.
