UNIT5HUMANSANDNATURE美文导入素养解读：《普通高中英语课程标准(2017年版)》在“学科核心素养”方面指出：英语学科核心素养主要包括语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力。同时，还对“文化意识”的概念进行了阐述：指对中外文化的理解和对优秀文化的认同，是学生在全球化背景下表现出的跨文化认知、态度和行为取向。下面这篇文章就是围绕“文化意识”这一学科素养展开的。它介绍了农耕与保护野生动物的密切关系，有助于提升同学们在保护野生动物方面的意识。主题：人与自然学科素养：文化意识难度系数：★★★FarmingandWildlifeProtectionAlmosthalfoftheworld’s17,000wildlifeprotectedareasarebeingusedforfarming.Areportsaysusinglandforagricultureiscausingmanykindsofplantsandanimalstodisappear.Farmersmustusebetterfarmingmethodsthatprovidefoodwhileprotectingwildlife.ExpertssaytenpercentofthelandonEarthhasbeendesignedtoprotectwildlife.Yetthesenaturepreservesoftensharecommongroundwithfarmsinmanypoorcountries.Manyoftheseareasarewhereanimalspeciesaremostatrisk.Expertssaymanyspecies，inpreservesaredyingoutbecauseoftheagriculturalareasthatsurroundthem.Thisisbecausemanyanimalsneedtomovetootherplacestosurvive.Thelimitedspaceinnaturepreservescannotfillthisneed.Thelandsthatwouldbeneededtoincreaseprotectedareasalreadyarebeingusedtogrowfoodforlocalpeopleandsupportlocaleconomies.Expertssayhalfoftheanimalspeciesinthepreservescouldbelostbecausetheirpopulationsaretoosmalltoguaranteetheirsurvival.○重要短语bedesignedto…目的是……；被设计用于做……atrisk在危险中dieout灭绝too…too…太……而不能……○句型精析Thelandsthatwouldbeneededtoincreaseprotectedareasalreadyarebeingusedtogrowfoodforlocalpeopleandsupportlocaleconomies.分析：该句子中thatwouldbeneededtoincreaseprotectedareas为定语从句，修饰先行词Thelands。arebeingused是现在进行时的被动语态，是这个句子的谓语，togrowfood和support是其目的状语。译文：增加保护区所需的土地正被用于为当地人民种植粮食和支持当地经济。核心素养目标【语言技能】知道如何表达“人与自然的关系”；掌握重点词汇和句式；学习定语从句；利用“看”的技能预测文章内容。【素养提升】学会使用所学词汇和句式号召大家保护大自然，表达对大自然的敬畏以及热爱之情；学会就保护自然问题表达自己的观点。
