教材分析
從本單元的對話來看，主要是學習如何用英語表達出自己的觀點和看法, 是同意還是不同意。如同意對方的觀點: I think so. I agree completely. I’m with you. That’s a good idea---. I think it is great. 如果不同意: I don't know about that. I don’t think so. Sorry, but I disagree. I know what you mean, but don’t you think ---. I see your point, but I think ---. You’re right, but I think---.
同時注重 damage, pollute, desert, in place, limit, fit, present, pour, die out, measure, go off, point to, to one’s joy 等重點詞匯和短語在本單元中學習，本單元中的閱讀課主要內容是通過列舉如:人為污染地球的土地,空氣和水資源以及自然界對人類的報復; 動物界遭到人類的侵害,造成了生態(tài)不平衡等事例, 而達到警醒同學和世人,讓同學們從小就培養(yǎng)一種環(huán)保意識, 維護環(huán)境生態(tài)的平衡。同時在這里運用了重點語法知識，Past Particle形式充當表語和定語的用法。
