4 There is power in an antelope, so you let it graze within your fences. But what power do you see in a goat or sheep, prey animals with no defenses, creatures that hold still while you slaughter them? There was great power in a wolf, even in a fox. You have inverted nature and turned these noble animals into miniature lap dogs. Nature is bound by your ropes and whips and is obedient to your commands.

人教版九年级英语unit4知识点
人教版九年级英语unit4知识点Unit 4: EarthquakesIntroduction:In the ninth grade English textbook of the People's Education Press, Unit 4 is dedicated to the topic of earthquakes. This important scientific phenomenon is explored in depth to enhance students' understanding of its causes, effects, and precautions. Through this unit, students will learn about the science behind earthquakes and the devastating consequences they can have on our planet.Section 1: What are Earthquakes?An earthquake is a sudden shaking or trembling of the ground caused by the movement of rock beneath the Earth's surface. These vibrations occur due to the release of energy, often as a result of tectonic plate movements. The epicenter refers to the point on the Earth's surface directly above the earthquake's origin. Understanding the basic terminology is crucial in comprehending the subsequent sections of this unit.Section 2: Causes of EarthquakesEarthquakes primarily occur along plate boundaries, which are the zones where tectonic plates meet. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform. Convergent boundaries, where two plates collide, can result in subduction zones, leading to powerful earthquakes. Divergent boundaries, where plates move apart, can create volcanic activity and earthquakes. Transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other, can also generate significant seismic activity.Section 3: Seismic WavesDuring an earthquake, two main types of seismic waves are generated: body waves and surface waves. Body waves include primary waves (P-waves) and secondary waves (S-waves), which both travel through the Earth's interior. Surface waves, on the other hand, occur on the Earth's surface and are responsible for the most destruction during an earthquake. Understanding the different types of seismic waves helps scientists measure and analyze earthquakes.Section 4: Measuring EarthquakesScientists use various tools and methods to measure earthquakes and determine their magnitude and intensity. The Richter scale, a numerical scale from 1 to 10, is commonly used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake. Another scale, the Modified MercalliIntensity scale, assesses the intensity of shaking and the damage caused by an earthquake at specific locations. Studying these scales allows scientists to classify earthquakes and understand their potential impact.Section 5: Earthquake PreparednessGiven the destructive nature of earthquakes, it is crucial to be prepared and educated about necessary safety measures. This section emphasizes the importance of creating emergency kits, developing evacuation plans, and identifying safe zones within buildings. Raising awareness about earthquake-resistant construction techniques is also vital in areas prone to seismic activity.Conclusion:Unit 4 of the ninth-grade English textbook provides students with a comprehensive understanding of earthquakes. By exploring the causes, effects, and precautions associated with earthquakes, students gain valuable knowledge about this natural disaster. This unit not only helps students grasp scientific concepts related to earthquakes but also emphasizes the importance of preparedness and safety in earthquake-prone regions. Understanding the science behind earthquakes empowers individuals and communities to mitigate risks and protect lives.。
step by step 第三册Unit 4原文
Unit 4 World News: Up in SpacePart I Warming upA1.An American spacecraft is traveling to Mars to collect information about the red planet. TheMars Reconnaissance Orbiter left Cape Canaveral in Florida on August 12th. The space vehicle is expected to arrive in March of next year. It is to orbit the planet for at least four years.2.The U.S. space shuttle Columbia has returned to Earth after an abbreviated stay in space becauseof a mechanical problem. The Space Agency ordered the shuttle back to Earth after one of the three power generators failed Sunday. The generators called “fuel cells” provide all of shuttle’s electrical power, and NASA safety rules require the space ship to return to Earth if any fuel cell fails. space shuttle Discovery has made a successful lift-off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida,en route to the International Space Station. The shuttle with 5 male and 2 female astronauts onboard will take another section of the half-built International Space Station a little truss, or frame into orbits. It’s scheduled to come back to earth on December 21.4.The United States Space Agency NASA says it’s given up any real hope of reviving its spaceprobe on Mars. The spacecraft Pathfinder made its last transmission of scientific data from the surface of Mars at the end of September, 83 days after landing.5.The U.S. space shuttle Endeavor is preparing to return home in triumph after completing repairson the Hubble Telescope. The Endeavor’s scheduled to land Monday at the Kennedy Space Center on Florida’s Atlantic coast, returning to the site where the mission began eleven days ago.BMir means “peace” in Russian. The station had a core block of living quarters and six docking ports for supply ships.Mir was built by the Soviet Union, which is now Russia. It cost $4.2 billion to build and maintain it. Scientists spent ten years building it, from 1986 to 1996. it weighs 135 tons and has a volume of 9900 cubic feet. It is 63 feet wide and 85 feet long. Mir hosted 104 cosmonauts, astronauts, and visitors. Forty-six flights were made to Mir. Cosmonaut Valery Polyakov holds the record for the longest stay in orbit, which is 438 days. And cosmonaut Sergei Avdeyev totaled 747 days between his three separate missions to Mir, which is the longest total for any human staying in space.The Mir Space station has been sailing through space for 15 years. But Mir doesn’t work very well any longer, and its orbit is failing. It has been replaced by the new International Space Station, where the U.S.A., Russia and many other countries work together. So Russia is going to bring Mir down into the ocean. They will be careful that none of Mir’s pieces hit places where people live.This event will be big news—as it should be! Since the Russians began building Mir in 1986, it has survived a fire, collisions with other spacecraft, and even attacks on its wiring by microbes that ate metal and glass! We have learned a lot from Mir about how to live and work in space.The Russian Space Agency guided Mir back to Earth on March 23rd. Fragments of the huge spacecraft splashed down in the South Pacific Ocean just as ground controllers had planned. It was a flawless re-entry. No one was hurt. Mir was truly a remarkable achievement of human ingenuity, breaking uncounted records for human spaceflight. The Mir is gone but will never be forgotten.Part II News reportsAA team of European astronomers has announced the discovery of the smallest planet ever found outside our own solar system. They are also claiming it’s the most ea rth-like of all the extrasolar planets so far found, with surface temperatures similar to those here on earth.Over 200 planets have now been detected beyond our solar system. Most of them are gas giants like Jupiter with only about a dozen thought to be small rocky objects like our earth. Most have been detected by looking for tell-tale wobbles in the movement of their neighbouring star. These wobbles can betray the presence of a planet, tugging at the star as it orbits. The new planet called Gliese 581 C is the smallest detected yet at only 5 times the mass of the earth. It orbits a red dwarf, a small slow-burning star over 20 light years away from us in the Libra constellation. The astronomers have also calculated, taking into account of distance of the new planet are likely to be between 0 and 40 degrees, temperatures which could support water. But what would it be like to stand on Gliese 581 C? Stephane Udry is one of the team that discovered the planet. “For the ground, it’s very difficult: could be rocks, or could be a big ocean. But if you look at the sky, then you would see a big star. Because of the proximity of the star, the size and the scale of that star would be about ten times the full moon, so you would see a big red star illuminating your s ight.” The new plant also has some neighbours for company.The same team of astronomers from Switzerland, France and Portugal discovered a planet similar in mass to Neptune in orbit around the same star two years ago. They also announced today the discovery of a third planet in the same solar system. That planet is about 8 times the mass of the earth. And probably very very cold.Questions:1.Among over 200 extrasolar planets so far found, how many were small rocky objects like theEarth?2.How big is the newly discovered planet Gliese 581 C?3.Which star does the planet orbit?4.How many neighbors have been found for Gliese 581C?5.How big are they?BOf all the US and Russian spacecrafts that have traveled to Mars since the 1960s, the Polar Lander is to be the first to touch down near the planet’s south pole. The Lander and a companion orbiting craft called the Mars Climate Orbiter, launched in December, are the second installment of a 12-year NASA program (begun in 1996) to unlock the secrets of Eart h’s red neighbor.The first installment---the Mars Global Surveyor Orbiter and the Pathfinder Lander---arrived in 1997, with Pathfinder’s robotic rover collecting and analyzing rocks on a desert about half a world away from the polar landing site.The Lander is to touch down just above the northern-most edge of the south polar ice cap, believed to be a mixture of water and carbon dioxide.It will use retrorockets to slow its descent. Once on the ground it will employ a robotic arm resembling a chil d’s toy construction shovel to dig in search of subsurface water. Together with the newest orbiter now on its way to Mars, the Lander will also measure the distribution of water vapor, dust and condensates in the Martian atmosphere.While the Polar Lander descends next December, it is to release two speeding probes, each smaller than a basketball. These rugged instruments are to crash at about 640 kilometers per hour and bury themselves into the Martian surface about 100 kilometers away from the Lander’s touch-down point.They, too, will be inspecting for subsurface water.The grand finale of this series of Mars probes is tentatively set for launch in 2006. it would return soil and rock samples to Earth three years later.Part III Returning to the MoonScientists in the UK have expressed their enthusiasm for China’s plans to explore the Moon with robotic spacecraft, and are keen to take part in the adventure.British scientists are seeking to collaborate with their Chinese counterparts n the Chang’e program.This four-phase program could see the return of astronauts to the moon’s surface for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.Ties between the Chinese and UK space community have been strengthened since a visit to China made by a team of British academics, agency officials, and space scientists earlier this year. At that time discussions took place regarding the UK building scientific instruments for the second phase of China’s lunar missions.One British academic who participated in the discussions, Professor John Zarnecki of the Open University said, “I think they are looking for significant collaboration. They have got good technology themselves but they will admit that they are fairly new in space science; so they don’t have all of the instrument capabilities and so on.”China has already established itself as the third space superpower, having successfully launched two manned spaceflights---last year two Chinese astronauts spent five days in orbit before safely returning to Earth. But China’s space ambitions don’t stop there. As well as a lunar landing, plans are being made to set up a permanent space station.The UK, on the other hand, has had a more modest space program. Only a handful of Britons have broken free of the Earth’s atmosphere. Most recently, UK-born astronaut, Piers Sellers, spent thirteen days on board the American space shuttle Discovery. However, British space exploration has not always gone according to plan. The Beagle 2 probe to Mars disappeared without a trace on Christmas Day 2003.Questions:1.How many phases are there for China’s Chang’e program?2.What is the aim of the Chang’e program?3.What was discussed during UK team’s visit to China earlier this year?4.How many days did the two Chinese astronauts spend in space before returning to Earth?5.How many days did Piers Sellers, the UK-born astronaut spend on board Discovery?。
语篇大学英语教学论文
语篇分析与大学英语教学摘要：常见的英语教学方法只注重对词、句的语法讲解而忽略对文章进行语篇分析，导致教学效果不理想。
教师应将语言分析和语篇分析结合起来，引导学生对文章的体裁、主题、结构、文化背景等进行分析，深刻领会作者的写作意图，准确把握语篇的脉络，真正吃透文章内容从而提高大学英语的教学质量。
关键词：语篇分析大学英语教学中图分类号：h319文献标识码：a文章编号：1673-9795(2012)01(b)-0000-001 引言传统的英语教学模式注重从音素与字母的对应关系及词组与句子的对应关系等方面入手，依赖语法分析来实现对单句的结构和语义的理解，用能否把所学内容译成准确无误的母语作为衡量理解的标准，而忽视了紧扣语篇语境，对文章的体裁、主题、结构、上下文衔接等方面作全面的分析、讲解。
学生也把主要的精力都集中于记单词、理解语法上，而对整篇文章的语篇结构并非完全掌握,或者对文章中作者所要表达的深层意义并非完全理解。
久而久之，导致老师尽管付出了大量的时间和精力，学生却还只能停留在对字词句的简单理解上，即使文章结构清晰、语意明了，他们还是不能站在更高层次上，进一步吃透句子的深层含义以及语篇的中心思想，不能准确把握文章的脉络和寓意，也就是说不能从语篇的角度上来理解文章。
本文就如何进行语篇分析以及语篇分析与提高大学英语教学质量的关系进行了探讨。
2 语篇分析的过程韩礼德和哈桑（halliday ＆ hasan, 1985）把语篇discourse 定义为具有功能的语言（language that is functional）。
也就是说语篇由句子组成，而这些句子并不是一些不相干、毫无关系的句子的堆砌，而是由一些意义相关的句子，为了表达一定的中心思想，通过一定的衔接手段而实现的有机结合体。
同时语篇也是社会文化语境的产物，任何一个语篇都反映了一定的社会意图和文化特征，并以此使语篇与特定的文化意义联系在一起。
因此，语篇是语言体现意义及其所反映的社会文化模式的基本单位。
