‎2018届人教版选修6一轮复习：Unit4Global warming 单元学案设计 一 单元话题阅读 Global Warming: Whose Problem is it Anyway?‎ It no longer seems to make a difference who started the global warming problem, and by “problem,” I am referring to the likely enhancement of the naturally occurring greenhouse effect as a result of human activities. Those activities primarily center on the release of carbon dioxide through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. Other heat-trapping greenhouse gases include methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). ‎ In their march to industrialization, rich countries have basically saturated the atmosphere with these heat-trapping gases. Each year, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (arguably the most important of the greenhouse gases) increases by more than a part per million by volume. Doesn’t that sound infinitesimal? It does to me. But, infinitesimal concentrations become significant when accumulating in the atmosphere year after year, as carbon dioxide has since the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-1700s. ‎ As we settle into the 21st century, new major greenhouse-gas-producing nations are appearing on the scene, such as India and China. They want to develop their economies, and they have a right, as well as a responsibility, to their citizens to do so. But they are also going to be emitting a larger share of heat-trapping gases, overtaking the industrialized countries that have been the dominant producers of greenhouse gases in the past. Now what? ‎ A couple of decades ago, I chose to divide the observers of global warming into three groups: hawks, doves and owls. In the mid-1980s, there were some hawks (those who are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that human activities not only can, but also are, altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere in ways that influence global climate); some doves (those who believe that Earth’s atmosphere is so robust that it can absorb any insult that humans might do to it. Besides, if it gets really ‎ serious, either technology will save us, or we Americans can move north into Canada); and mostly owls (those who lean either toward the hawks’ or the doves’ view, but are still not sure what the truth is). ‎ Twenty-five years later, the hawks have increased in number, while the doves are about the same with maybe a few more vocal personalities. And the owls’ numbers have reduced due to new scientific information — appearing in the media alongside scary photos of disintegrating ice sheets in the Antarctic and depletion of sea ice in the Arctic, stories about a seeming increase in various “superstorms,” and advertisements from Shell and BP telling us that they too are worried about global warming. ‎ Since 1985, however, another category has emerged: the ostrich. The ostriches include those who refuse to think about global warming as a problem, who refuse to consider any new scientific research, and who think that someone somewhere will solve this problem before it becomes a crisis. ‎ Global warming is not a hoax. It actually happens naturally. Industrialization processes in rich countries and now in developing ones are abetting the naturally occurring greenhouse effect. ‎ Some say we are spinning out of control, pointing to the Arctic as a “canary in the global warming mine.” The Inuit are worried. They are on the proverbial firing line, according to scientists who remind us that a 1 degree warming in the mid-latitudes will be associated with a 3 to 4 degree warming in the higher latitudes. What we are hearing from the scientists is that we are at or near tipping points — irreversible thresholds of change — for certain species, countries and civilizations. ‎ But although we talk a lot about doing something about global warming, we do not have a whole lot of meaningful action. “Let them eat carbon dioxide” seems to be the current response of various governments, despite words of concern. Is anyone trying to cut back on carbon dioxide emissions? ‎ Cutting back on carbon dioxide production is much easier to say than to do. The task of cutting back worldwide is made much more difficult because of the virtual lack of participation of the United States as a leader on the global warming issue in ‎ the international community. It is hard to keep bailing out the water at one end of a sinking boat, while someone at the other end insists on drilling holes in the hull. ‎ The business community, at-risk cities and island nations are increasingly calling for action to combat human-induced global warming. What is needed? Only an active government policy around which a coalition can rally will thoroughly address the complex issue. ‎ Alas, the issue demands government leadership from the “bully pulpit” that calls for and wholeheartedly supports an all-out “war on global warming.” In my view, it is the only way to address the global warming problem with some sense of optimism. ‎ Societies need to find new and more efficient ways to fuel their growing economies. The wars on crime, prostitution, alcohol, drugs and even terror are not really winnable wars. They are not winnable in the sense that views on these issues represent underlying differences of opinion. However, the physics of the atmosphere suggests that we (civilizations) are on a collision course with Mother Nature, and if atmospheric science is correct, there is little time for delay. ‎ The war on global warming should begin now. With government support (moral and financial) and a search for new ways to keep our industries progressing without adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, there is a real chance for the global community to pull together. ‎ Technology alone, especially if it is expected to be applied only at the proverbial 11th hour, can’t save us from many of the projected and foreseeable negative impacts of global warming. For an example of thinking ahead, take the Netherlands. ‎ The Dutch have successfully fought off the floods of the North Sea for centuries, with few breaches in recent times (1953 comes to mind). The Netherlands have even contracted with the U.S. federal government for a few hundred million dollars, to assist in developing levees that can withstand certain intensities of tropical storms around New Orleans. ‎ Despite their levee-making skills, however, the Dutch know their limits. The Netherlands is now working to develop a “Hydropole,” a city that can live on the ‎ rising waters. They know they need to do something to protect the 70 percent of the country that is below sea level, when a warmer atmosphere leads to rising seas. ‎ Other countries need to follow by accepting the potential changes that lie ahead, and working now to plan for those changes and to curb actions that would otherwise fuel more change. Only with an aggressive war on global warming, supported by the entire international community of nations and with participation of the United States, can we learn to live within the guidelines of nature, respecting her thresholds of change by choosing not to cross them.‎ The greenhouse effect The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60ºF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Have you ever seen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look like a small glass house. Greenhouses are used to grow plants, especially in the winter. Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun. The glass panels of the greenhouse let in light but keep heat from escaping. This causes the greenhouse to heat up, much like the inside of a car parked in sunlight, and keeps the plants warm enough to live in the winter.‎ ‎ The Earth’s atmosphere is all around us. It is the air that we breathe. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panes in a greenhouse. Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases. As ‎ it reaches the Earth's surface, land, water, and biosphere absorb the sunlight’s energy. Once absorbed, this energy is sent back into the atmosphere. Some of the energy passes back into space, but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat up.‎ ‎ ‎ The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.‎ 二 单元基础词汇回顾 ‎1.

But do you know that many of the environmental problems our country faces today result from our fossil fuel dependence.‎ The environment faces air pollution, global warming, acid rain, and several other very serious problems because of our use of fossil fuels. Over the last 150 years, burning of fossil fuels has resulted in more than 25 percent increase in carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. ‎ Carbon dioxide is one of the main factors in global warming which is negatively affecting everyone. ‎ Fossil fuels also affect water pollution, land pollution, and thermal pollution (heat pollution). Coal mining is one of the causes of pollution in the environment. After the mining is completed, the land will remain barren. Materials other than coal are also brought to the surface in the coal mining process and these are left as solid wastes.‎ The production, transportation, and use of fossil fuels are to blame for the effects of pollution on the environment. Then what should we do? We should spare no effort to improve our environment. Please save energy and use fewer fossil fuels in our daily lives.‎ 单元综合知识运用 第二部分：语言知知和运用 第一节：完形填空　（共15小题，每小题1.5分，共22.5分）‎ You don’t mean any harm. You’re just trying to have a good time. But do you know how your overseas vacation 21 people in other countries? What’s your dream vacation? New chances are opening up all the time to 22 the world. So we visit travel agents, compare prices and pay our money. We know 23 our vacation costs us. 24 unfortunately, tourism often harms the local people ‎ ‎25 it helps them. For example, in Zanzibar, a British company got 57 sq km of land from the government for tourist sites（旅游胜地）. They include 14 luxury hotels, three golf courses , swimming pools and an airport. The local people fear 26 their farmland and fishing rights. And most of the profits（利润） do not help the local people. 27 , profits go for the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Massey people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slum (贫民区), 28 now make a little money by selling small gifts. Removed from their hunting lands, the Indians have no choice 29 their culture. Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. Now people are working together to correct them. Tourists, too, are 30 the pressure. The beginnings are small, 31 , but the results are obvious. The good news is that everyone, 32 can play a part to help the local people in the place we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good 33 and earn reasonable wages. They can make it a point to use only locally 34 hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people 35 planning and managing tourism.‎ ‎21. A. effect B. affect C. cause D. involve ‎22. A. exploit B. invent C. find D. explore ‎23.

No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling.‎ If spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.‎ I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors ‎ and your writing is terrible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation (动机) to seek improvement.‎ ‎46. Teachers are different in their opinions about _________.‎ A .the difficulties in teaching spelling B. the role of spelling in general language development C. the complexities of the basic writing skills D. the necessity of teaching spelling ‎47. The underlined expression “play safe” probably means ________. ‎ ‎ A. to write carefully B. to do as teachers say ‎ C. to use dictionaries frequently D. to avoid using words one is not sure of ‎ ‎48. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ____________.‎ ‎ A. students will be able to express their ideas more freely ‎ B. students will have more confidence in writing ‎ ‎ C. students will have less trouble in correcting mistakes ‎ D. students will learn to be independent of teachers ‎49. The author seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is __________.‎ ‎ A. unfair B. reasonable C. foolish D. careless ‎50. The major point discussed in the passage is ___________.‎ ‎ A. the importance of developing writing skills ‎ ‎ B. the complexities of spelling ‎ C. the correct way of marking compositions ‎ ‎ D. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition ‎ B WHO FOUNDED READER’S DIGEST AND WHEN?‎ As De Witt Wallace lay in bed recovering from injuries that he unfortunately came by in World War I, he found there was a wealth of interesting information to read. Realizing few people would have the time to get through all this information, he knew exactly what to do. In 1920, this young American submitted a sample magazine containing shortened articles to publishers across America. All turned him down.‎ Undeterred, De Witt and his new bride Lila Bell Acheson published the first issue of Reader’s Digest in February 1922.Working from home, the Wallaces printed 5,000 copies, which were sold by mail to 1,500 people and priced at 25 cents. From these humble beginnings grew the world’s most widely read magazine.‎ WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?‎ The magazine became popular and, by 1935, sales topped one million. In 1938, the first international edition was published in the United Kingdom. During World War II, editions were published for the first time in Latin America and Sweden. After the war Reader’s Digest moved into Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. In 1950, Reader’s Digest published its shortened Books (now known as Select Editions in Australia). In 1959,music, the first non-print product line, was introduced. In 1962, Reader’s Digest revolutionized direct mail by introducing easy-to-enter Sweepstakes and a year later the first Reader’s Digest general book was published. In 1986, video was added to the Reader’s Digest product line up.‎ AND WHAT ABOUT NOW?‎ In 1973, the Wallaces gave up active management of Reader’s Digest. De Witt died in 1981 aged 91; Lila in 1984 aged 94. With no heirs to the Wallace empire to take control, Reader’s Digest became a public company in the early 1990s and is now headed by a Chief Executive Office and Chairman of the Board.‎ ‎51. What is the purpose of De Witt Wallace creating the earliest magazine?‎ ‎ A. To offer people information. B. To become wealthy.‎ ‎ C. To make known the harm of wars. D. To turn down uninteresting stories.‎ ‎52. When did De Will make his first trial of the magazine?‎ ‎ A. Before World War I . B. In 1920. C. In 1922. D. In 1935.‎ ‎53. What does the underlined word “humble” mean?‎ ‎ A. Noble B. Well-off C. Simple D. Splendid.‎ ‎54. Which of the following is the right order for the history of Reader’s Digest ?‎ ‎ a. The Select Edition came out. ‎ ‎ b. The Wallaces retired from the management of Reader’s Digest.‎ ‎ c. The magazine sold over million copies.‎ ‎ d. The product line was improved by mans of videos.‎ ‎ e. Editions in other languages were published.‎ ‎ A. c, e, a, b, d B. e, a, c, b, d C. c, e, a, d, b D. a, c, e, d, b ‎55. Which of the following is not right according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Lila lived a longer life than De Witt.‎ ‎ B. Lila and De Witt were born in the same year.‎ ‎ C. Reader’s Digest was first private-owned and later public-owned.‎ ‎ D. Reader’s Digest has always been headed by a Chief Executive Office ad Chairman of the Board.‎ C Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.‎ A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.‎ New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.‎ This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.‎ ‎56.

However, it must be admitted that, along with the benefits of the rapid development of urban traffic, there have come certain problems. One of the biggest problems is traffic jams in some heavily-populated cities. It has become common to see passengers and drivers having to wait in long lines and buses and cars moving at a snail’s pace on the streets during the rush hours.‎ There are several reasons for this problem. First, the number of vehicles is increasing much more rapidly than the building of roads. No sooner has a new road been completed and opened public traffic than it is crowded with all kinds of vehicles. Second, there seem to be too many private cars and not enough public buses. In most cases, a car carries only one or two people, while it occupies almost half the space a bus does. Third, many people, including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists do not obey traffic rules properly, especially at busy hours. And this undoubtedly worsens the already serious situation.‎ 参考答案 ‎21—25 BDABA 26—30 AABCB 31—35 CDDAC ‎36.which 37. surrounding 38.off 39. where 40. located ‎41. population 42.into 43. changed 44. attractive 45. living ‎46—50 BDAAD 51—55 ABCAD 56—60 BCACD ‎61—65 FBACE 基础写作： ‎ English conversation class In order to improve the students’ ability to listen to and speak English, an English conversation class will be held during the summer holidays, from July 27th to August 5th, in Room 221, Classroom Building.‎ Look Ahead will be the textbook for the class and the Blacks from America will come and have talks with the class twice a week.

Passengers and drivers are often seen waiting in long lines and buses and cars moving as slowly as a snail during the rush hours.‎ Obviously the problem has been caused due to several reasons: the increasing number of vehicles, too many private cars, and not enough public buses. Also a car with only one or two people takes too much space of the road. And many people including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists have no sense of traffic rules.‎ Among all the reasons mentioned above, in my opinion, the main reason is that the number of more and more people owning their private cars is out of control. My neighbors, for example, owns three cars altogether. I have never seen a car with more than two people at a time when they drive.‎ So effective measures must be taken before things get worst. The number of private cars in cities must be limited while the number of public buses should be increased. At the same time, strict traffic rules must be issued to strengthen traffic control. I believe it will not be long before the problem can be well solved with these efforts.‎
