11
Language points They lived on the earth tens of millions of years ago, long before humans came into being and their future seemed secure at that time. [点拨1] 本句是一个由and连接的并列句,其中,long before 引导时间状语从句,进一步解释说明tens of millions of years ago,意为“在……之前很久”。注意:before long 意为“不久以后”。
12
如: I knew Tom long before I knew you. 我在认识你之前很久就认识汤姆了。 We hope to finish our experiment before long. 我们希望不久就把实验做完。
13
It ___ long before we___ the result of
the experiment. A. will not be; will know B. is; will know C. will not be; know D. is; know 拓展:before long 不久以后 e.g.: I hope to see you again before long. We were tired of waiting and hoped the bus would come before long.
14
[点拨2] on the earth 在地球上。在earth,
sun, moon等表达世界上独一无二的名词 前, 要加the。 [点拨3] come into being的意思是“开始存 在;发生”。 我们不知道这世界是什么时候存在的。 We don’t know when the world came into being.
15
2. When scientists inspected the bones,
they were surprised to find that these dinosaurs could not only run like the others but also climb trees. [点拨] 本句中的to find that ...是不定式作原因状语。不定式用来表原因时,常修饰表示情感、心理状态、性格等的形容词,如:
16
happy, glad,lucky, fortunate, surprised, angry,anxious, cruel, clever, frightened,shocked, sorry, eager, proud,disappointed, foolish, impatient,unwise, naughty等。如:
17

我们真想不到会见到他。 We are proud to be young people of new China. 作为新中国的青年,我们感到很骄傲。 You were foolish to act like that. 你那样做很愚蠢。
18
3. Some scientists think it came after an
unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the air. [点拨] 本句中when引导定语从句,其先行词为incident。关系副词when的先行词一般是表时间的名词,如: He came last night when I was out. 但有时并不直接是表时间的名词,如:
19
In 1921 Einstein won the Nobel Prize, and was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew. 1921年爱因斯坦获得了诺贝尔奖,他在德国很受尊敬。纳粹上台后由于他是犹太人而被赶出了德国。

16世纪后期,欧洲殖民者来到了毛里求斯。不会飞又跑不快的Dodo鸟很快成为欧洲人来到岛上后主要的食物来源。人们开始大量的滥捕滥杀可怜的Dodo鸟,有时每天可以捕杀到几千只到上万只。 由于过度的捕杀,很快岛上Dodo鸟变得越来越少。1681年,最后一只Dodo鸟被残忍的杀害后,从此,地球上再也见不到这种东西了,除非是在博物馆的图片中。

Sample letter Dear WWF, My friend, Chen Ting, and I have been doing some research on endangered animals. We found that the habitat of polar bears is disappearing because the ice at the North Pole is getting warmer. I worry that when it disappears altogether, there will be nowhere for the polar bears to live.
39
First, I suggest we are very careful with the energy we use
First, I suggest we are very careful with the energy we use. Global warming happens because we are putting too much carbon dioxide into the air. One of the ways we do this is by driving everywhere by car. So I suggest we think carefully before using our cars unnecessarily.
40
Second, instead of using our cars we should think about traveling by bus or by train. These forms of transport are more environmentally friendly and do not put so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
41
Third, we can join WWF which is fighting to save the habitat of the polar bear. We can raise money to help them by making and selling cakes, selling crafts or giving talent shows and charging money for our parents to watch.
42
I hope you will support us in our fight to save the home of the Polar Bears.
Yours sincerely, Wu Xiaoxin
