‎2018届人教版选修六一轮复习：Unit5The power of nature单元学案设计 单元话题阅读 What is a volcano?‎ A volcano is a vent or 'chimney' that connects molten rock (magma) to the Earth's surface. It includes the surrounding cone of built-up material. Magma erupting from a volcano is called lava. Gases and pieces of rock erupt from volcanoes too. ‎ A volcano is active if it erupts lava, releases gas or shows seismic activity. It is dormant if it hasn't erupted for a long time but could again one day. An extinct volcano will never erupt again.‎ The explosiveness of a volcanic eruption depends on how easily magma can flow and the amount of gas trapped in it. Large amounts of water and carbon dioxide are dissolved in magma. They behave like gas in fizzy drinks. After opening the bottle the gas expands, forming bubbles that escape. This also happens when magma rises quickly through the crust - gas bubbles form and expand up to 1000 times their original size.‎ Types of volcanoes The shape of a volcano is related to how it erupts. ‎ Composite volcano - also known as a strato-volcano. If magma from an erupting volcano is thick and sticky (viscous) it is very hard for gas bubbles to expand. They can force the magma apart suddenly, blasting it into tiny pieces called volcanic ash. These eruptions are very explosive and create steep cones of ash and rocks. They sometimes create layers of lava, hot ash clouds called pyroclastic flows and dangerous mudflows. A volcano in Papua New Guinea, is an example of a Composite volcano.‎ Shield volcanoes - When magma is runny (not viscous) gases can escape easily. These eruptions are not very explosive and lots of magma reaches the surface to form lava flows. This type of volcano makes a cone built up from layers of lava. Because the lava flows easily, the cone is broad and has a flattened dome-like shape. Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is an example of a shield volcano.‎ Caldera volcano - erupts so explosively that little material builds up near the vent. Eruptions empty part or all of the underlying magma chamber, leaving the region around the vent unsupported and causing the region to sink under its own ‎ weight. This results in a basin-shaped depression that is roughly circular and is usually several kilometres or more in diameter. The lava erupted is the most viscous and generally the coolest.‎ The Societal Effects of Volcanoes ‎ Volcanoes are known for their violent eruptions and lava flows, but there are many benefits that volcanoes provide for society. Volcanoes help enrich soil for farming and in some cases provide reservoirs for the storage of ground water (Chester 186). Moreover the earth's valuable resources are formed in volcanoes. These elements include fluorine, sulfur, zinc, copper, lead, arsenic, tin, molybdenum, uranium, tungsten, silver, mercury, and gold (Chester 186). Society makes use of all of these elements that volcanoes help to provide. Geothermal power is an alternate energy source that is better for the environment and volcanoes provide this to society also. Volcanoes even help us understand past civilizations and cultures. The lava preserves fossils and artifacts that scientists can learn from (Chester 186). The picture below is a fossilized fish that was preserved by volcanoes. ‎ There are five gases that are produced by volcanic activity. All of these gases are harmful except for water vapor. These five gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, fluorine, and chlorine. Carbon dioxide is one of the main causes of the Greenhouse effect, but there are not significant amounts for the carbon dioxide emitted from volcanic eruptions to contribute to the Greenhouse effect. Humanity is responsible for emitting 110 billion tons of carbon dioxide each year, while volcanoes only contribute 10 billion tons (Fisher). Sulfur dioxide can have a short-term effect on the weather. A sulfuric acid aerosol can remain in the atmosphere for years after an eruption (Fisher). This aerosol blocks the sun and causes cooler temperatures globally. The sulfur dioxide eventually depletes, but is replenished by each eruption rich in sulfur dioxide. Fluorine can be a deadly to animals after an eruption. It tends to condense in rain and coat grasses and plants (Fisher). The fluorine is poisonous to animals that eat the fluorine-coated grass and plants. Chlorine is emitted as ‎ hydrochloric acid into the atmosphere. Chlorine destroys the ozone layer that protects the DNA of plants and animals (Fisher). Water vapor is the only one of these gases that helps society by replenishing the water supply. ‎ There are many hazards from volcanic eruptions. The different kinds of hazards can be lava flows, pyroclastic fall deposits, volcanic gases, tsunamis, and many more (Chester 193). Lava flows have killed a relatively small number of people. The majority of the damage to society from volcanoes is economic, agricultural, and settlements can be ruined (Chester 186). The damages can be increased with the change of human population is certain areas. The more people that live in hazardous areas, the higher the risk is. ‎ A way to limit the hazards is the prediction of eruptions. There are two options for predicting volcanic activity: general prediction and specific prediction. General prediction is the study of past volcanic activity that can predict the frequency, magnitude, and style of eruptions (Chester 196). Specific prediction focuses on predicting the actual time of eruptions. This time is found based on surveillance of the volcano and monitoring its changes (Chester 194). The success of prediction depends on a lot of time and money that puts more advanced nations ahead of the poorer countries. ‎ Many people believe that there is action that should be taken on an international level to improve the monitoring of volcanoes. They propose that we use satellites to keep an eye on the shape of volcanoes. Mass production of seismographs, tiltmeters, and gas detectors would observe seismic activity, ground deformation, and gas emission (Chester 192). These advancements would possibly help to figure out how volcanic plumbing works. Scientists also suggest that we test climatic change and study ice cores to find emissions from past eruptions (Chester 192). All of these options would help us maintain a low risk factor for future eruptions. ‎ ‎ Volcanoes provide a multitude of benefits that unfortunately bring high risks with them. Do volcanoes have a positive or negative effect on society? The answer to this question does not have a black and white answer. There are the positive effects of enriched soil and their help in creating earth's early atmospheres and minerals. The ‎ negative effects seem to over power the positive ones on the short term. The risk of possible death and serious injury is frightening, but not that common of an effect. The real negative effects come from the gases emitted during volcanic eruptions. Chlorine and sulfur dioxide are extremely harmful to the Earth and its environment, but man needs to stop polluting to help limit the effects of volcanoes. ‎ The eruptions of Mount St. Helens in 1980 are a good example of the effects on society of volcanic activity. On March 27, 1980 Mount St. Helens erupted, creating an ash plume about two kilometers above the volcano and an eighty-meter wide crater (Tilling 99). In the next few weeks there were more violent eruptions that emitted and ash column 24 kilometers into the atmosphere and approximately 1.1 kilometers of ash was ejected (Tilling 99). The human casualties of these eruptions are 57 lives lost, and numerous injuries. There was over $1 billion dollars in damages to the communities surrounding Mount St. Helens. Many communication and transportation systems were disrupted due to the eruptions. The tourist industry was greatly effected immediately following the eruptions, but now the volcano has become a tourist attraction. ‎ Volcanoes are natural wonders that should be appreciated and studied. As a society we need to make the best use of the resources that volcanoes provide for us. There are many negative effects, but there are a few positive ones too. We also need to be careful to limit the hazards of volcanoes as much as possible. ‎ 第一篇课文回顾 ‎1．volcano n.‎ pl. volcanoes ‎ an active volcano 活火山 an extinct volcano 死火山 a dormant volcano休眠火山 知识拓展 火山学 volcanology -logy: “…… 学/论。”‎ ‎ oceanology climatology 火山学家 volcanologist -ist “……学家 ”‎ ‎ pianist physicist ‎2.

It was soon snowing so hard we couldn’t see very far in front of us. Holding each others’ hands so we couldn’t get separated, we continued down the mountain. Butthe snow got deeper and deeper. Walking became harder and harder. We began to get very tired and very frightened.‎ After a while the path became buried under the snow and we didn’t know which way to go. We were completely lost. We found some shelter behind a big rock. Hugging each other for warmth, we stayed like that until the storm was over. Luckily it only lasted an hour or two. Then the sun came out again and we could see our house in the distance. We were so relieved we both burst into tears.‎ 单元综合知识运用 一．根据所给汉语意思及其词性写出单词: 27% ‎ ‎1. 火山(n.)________, (pl.)_________ 2. 现象(n)_________,(pl.)_________ ‎ ‎3. 多样性(n.)_______,(adj.)_________ 4. 焦虑(n.)_________, (adj.)_________ ‎ ‎5. 唯一的(adj.)________, 6.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.‎ The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also ‎ used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.‎ I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. ‎ People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. ‎ ‎26. Why was the bike so important to the couple? ‎ A. The man’s job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession. ‎ C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and daily life. ‎ ‎27. We can infer from the text that ____________. ‎ A. the couple worked 60 hours a week. B. people were busy before Christmas ‎ C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family. ‎ ‎28. How did people get to know the couple’s problem? ‎ A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper. ‎ C. From TV news. D. From a stranger. ‎ ‎29. What does the couple learn from their experience? ‎ A. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike. ‎ C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.‎ 第二节：阅读表达 阅读下面的短文，根据其中内容回答问题。‎ Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it.

After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted at the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.‎ But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent ______________________. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone to whom I had done the special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into. One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, despite her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia — lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery (神秘).‎ My mother died ten days after I was married.
