(3) Check the answers with the Ss. IX. Language points1. friendlyfriendly为形容词，是由名词friend加后缀-ly构成，意为“友好的”。be friendly to ...意为“对……友好”。 e.g. The boy is friendly to the old. 2. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. 我们的第一面国旗上就（绘）有一头白象。 had为动词have的过去式形式，表示“曾经有；过去有”。意味着“现在泰国国旗上已不再有白象了”。3. Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost. 大象能够长时间行走而且从不迷路。1) lost作为形容词，表示“走失的；迷路的；失散的”、“丢失的；遗失的”， 常与系动词get或be一同构成短语，表示“丢失；走失；迷路”。 e.g. What bad luck! My keys are lost again. 真是倒霉！我的钥匙又丢了。 The little girl couldn’t find her home. She got lost. 小女孩找不到家了，她迷路了。 2) lost还经常直接用于名词之前，做定语修饰名词。e.g. a lost child 走丢了的孩子 the lost tourists 迷路的游客们 a lost watch 被人遗失的手表4. But elephants are in great danger. 但是大象面临巨大的危险。be in (great) danger 处于（极大）危险之中e.g. The boy falls into the lake. He’s in great danger. 小男孩落入湖中，他处于极大危险中。英语中，常用形容词big或great与danger搭配，表示“巨大的危险”。(be) out of danger 脱离危险e.g. The doctors say he’s now out of danger. 大夫们说现在他脱离了危险。5. People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes. 人们砍伐了很多树木导致大象失去了家园。cut down 砍伐e.g. Don’t cut down trees. 不要砍伐树木。 6. Today there are only about 3,000 elephants (over 100,000 before). 如今，仅剩下3000头大象（超过10万之前）。over （数量）超过； 在……之上e.g. Over one hundred people are in the library. 有超过一百人在图书馆里。 There’s a small bridge over the river. 在河上面有一座小桥。3000可使用thousand一词，读作three thousand。英语中没有单独的词汇表达“万”的概念，必须通过“thousand”转换表达。如：100,000则只能使用thousand, 读作：one hundred thousand。7. We must save the trees and not buy things made of ivory. “be made of +原材料”表示“由……制成(从制成品中仍能看出原材料)”。 e.g. The table is made of wood. 这张桌子是由木头制成的。【拓展】“be made from +原材料”表示“由……制成(从制成品中看不出原材料)”。 e.g. Paper is made from wood. 纸是由木头制成的。ExercisesComplete the sentences.1. 我们挽救了五十多只猫。 We saved ____ fifty _____.2. 狗是我所喜欢的动物之一。 Dog is ____ of my favorite _______. 3. 长城是中国的象征。 The Great Wall is a _______ of ______. 4. 一头大象能走很远的路且不会迷路。 An elephant can walk ___ a long ____ and _____ ____ ____. 5. 扬子鳄处于极度危险之中。 Yangtze crocodiles ___ __ _____ ______. 6. 这些杯子是由玻璃制成的。 These cups are _____ __ glass.Complete the sentences with the correct words.flag, kill, place, save, over, cut down, forget, symbol 1.
