4、 About 1,600 are believed to survive in the wild.Milu deer is a Chinese deer. It has a long tail, wide hooves, and branched antlers. Another Chinese name for it is “four unlikes,.” because the animals were seen as having the horns of a stag, the neck of a camel, the foot of a cow, and the tail of an

5、 ass. These animals were first made known to Western science in the 19th century, by Father Arm and David, a French missionary working in China.

8、ading1 Defining wildlifeWhat does the world wildlife mean?The term wildlife refers to living organisms that are not in any way artificial or domesticated and which exist in natural habitats. Wildlife can refer to flora (plants) but more commonly refers to fauna (animals). Needless to say, wildlife i

9、s a very general term for life in various ecosystems. Deserts, rainforests, plains, and other areasincluding the most built-up urban sitesall have distinct forms of wildlife.Humankind has historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways; besides the obvious difference i

10、n vocabulary, there are differing expectations in the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the environment has provoked activists to protest the exploit

11、ation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment.2. Make a list of other endangered wildlife in China that is being protected.3. Pre-reading questions:4.

Warming up by acting a text playGood morning class. To begin with we shall put our text HOW DAISY

19、 LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE on stage, that is, to act out our story. Now the class acting team with their text play of HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE! II. Discovering useful words and expressions1. Doing vocabulary exercisesTurn to page 28 and do the vocabulary exercises 1, 2 and 3. You can simply

20、 write your answers in the blanks on the very page of 28.2. Playing a gameLets go on to play the game described on the top of the page 29. The following sentences are to be passed on.

Be alert and drive slowly at dawn and dusk in rural areas where wildlife may be active. III. Studying The Present progressive Passive Voi

23、ce1. Passive Voice The passive voice is used when focusing on the person or thing affected by an action. The Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Participle It is often used in business and in other areas where the object of the action is more important than those who perform the action

24、. For Example: We have produced over 20 different models in the past two years. Changes to: Over 20 different models have been produced in the past two years. If the agent (the performer of the action) is important, use “by.” For Example: Tim Wilson wrote The Flight to Brunnswick in 1987. The Flight

25、 to Brunnswick was written in 1987 by Tim Wilson. Only verbs that take an object can be used in the passive. The following chart includes sentences changed from the active to the passive in the principal tenses. Active PassiveTime Reference They make Fords in Cologne. Fords are made in Cologne.Prese

28、Verb FormationThe passive forms of a verb are created by combining a form of the “to be verb.” with the past participle of the main verb. Other helping verbs are also sometimes present: “The measure could have been killed in committee.” The passive can be used, also, in various tenses. Lets take a l

31、 to page 26 and scan the text for all the examples of The Present Progressive Passive Voice. Were being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs.Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you.Now try to put the following sentences into The Present Progressive Passive Voice. They are producing this new drug. Antelope is looking at her. They are killing us for the wool. They are destroying the farm.V.
