The theme of this unit is human and nature, focusing on the theme of wildlife protection. Nature is a complex ecosystem, in which there are delicate balance between animals and plants. Because of the role of the food chain, the extinction of one species will produce influence, causing a series of chain reaction.

1. 完成文本主要信息填空(斜体字部分设空):As a witness to farmers’ poor harvests and even a severe shortage of food, Yuan Longping was determined to devote his life to tackling this crisis. After graduation, he realized that what farmers needed most was to boost yields in the fields. Yuan was convinced that the answer lay in the creation of hybrid rice, one characteristic of which is that it usually achieve higher output than conventional crops. However, it was no easy job. The first difficulty he needed to overcome was scientists’ general assumption that this could not be done. Through trial and error, Yuan managed to generate this incredible crop. It is estimated that about 60 percent of domestic rice consumption in China was comprised of crops generated from Yuan’s hybrid strains. His innovation has enabled Chinese farmers to considerably expand their output and helped feed the world. Unwilling to retire early to a life of leisure and unconcerned about celebrity or fortune, Yuan continues to turn one vision after another into realities.2. 模仿写作:Do some research via the Internet and introduce another agricultural scientist, Chen Risheng(陈日胜), using the structure, expressions and writing techniques you have learnt from the text “A Pioneer for All People”.【设计意图】任务1是对文本内容和词汇学习成效的检测。任务2借助文本中学到的词汇和写作手法仿写另一位科学家,提升学生迁移运用词汇、文体结构和写作方法的能力。

巴金在十年浩劫中的大致经历:放弃包弟并没有换得保全一家人,1968年8月,巴金被关进牛棚改造,随后经受了大字报、挂牌游街等形式的批斗。1970年,到农村改造,掏大粪、喂猪、背稻草、种地……1972年,妻子萧珊在饱受精神折磨后患上癌症,病逝。巴金的儿子在劳动改造的过程中也饱受精神和肉体上的折磨,性格变得内向抑郁,疾病缠身。此时,巴金69岁。巴金曾在《病中》一文写道:“当姚文元拿着棒子的时候,我给关在牛棚里除了唯唯诺诺之外,敢于做过什么事情?十年间我不过是一条含着眼泪等人宰割的牛。”小结:(幻灯片12)社会是病态的社会,政治是高压的政治,人性是扭曲的人性。十年文革,十年浩劫,给多少人留下了累累不可弥合的精神创伤。即使一条小狗,也可能摆脱不了“文革”无情的迫害,比如包弟,比如艺术家邻居的小狗。
