大学英语第二册Unit 8 Protecting our EnvironmentHomework:Preview text ARead the new words and phrases before class,then read the text in detail and surf the internet to fulfill the following tasks.1.Make the title, Saving Earth, but Only for Man, into a complete sentence.Suggested answer: We must protect the earth’s environment so that it can better save human beings.2.What is a sensible environmentalism?Suggested answer: A sensible environmentalism, the only kind of environmentalism that will win universal public support, begins by unashamedly declaring that nature is hero to serve man. A sensible environmentalism is entirely man-centered: it calls for man to preserve nature, but on the grounds of self-preservation. (in Para5)(Detailed explanation can be found in Paras2,6,8,14)3. As for sensible environmentalism, what’s your comment?Suggested answer: I think it is really “sensible” since both humans and environment are taken into consideration in the suggested practices of it. But, sometimes it is difficult to achieve a balance between man and nature. For example, in para11, it is recommended that the cost of preserving the spotted owl is not supposed to the loss of livelihood for 30,000 logging families. Sensible environmentalism is still not a perfect solution, since an alternative has to be made.4. Surf the internet to find out how our environment is polluted.Suggested answer: air pollution, water pollution, soil pollutionAir pollution is the accumulation in the atmosphere of substances that, in sufficient concentrations, endanger human health or produce other measured effects on living matter and other materials. Among the major sources of pollution are power and heat generation, the burning of solid wastes, industrial processes, and, especially, transportation. The six major types of pollutants are carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particulates, sulfur dioxide, and photochemical oxidants.Water pollution is the introduction into fresh or ocean waters of chemical, physical, or biological material that degrades the quality of the water and affects the organisms living in it. This process ranges from simple addition of dissolved or suspended solids to discharge of the most insidious and persistent toxic pollutants (such as pesticides, heavy metals, and nondegradable, bioaccumulative, chemical compounds)Soil pollution is the degradation of the Earth's land surface through misuse of the soil by poor agricultural practices, mineral exploitation, industrial waste dumping, and indiscriminate disposal of urban wastes. It includes visible waste and litter as well as pollution of the soil itself.Teaching ObjectiveSs should grasp the main idea——we should adopt a sensible environmentalismSs should grasp the structure——each part contains a contrastPeriod One (90 minutes)1. Introductory Remarks & DiscussionNowadays with the rapid development of science and technology, people’s life has been improved a lot. But at the same time it has brought many problems. The issue of environmental protection has been talked about over and over again, and people have gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between environment and development. In our view environmentprotection must be carried out in coordination with economic and social development, protection, consumption and environment of mankind cannot sustain if the problems of resources and environment are neglected. Many environmental problems arise causing loss and destruction. That’s why we should give the problem so much concern and come up with so many associations.Step one: ask students to discuss the environmental situation and in what way to protect it. Step two: suggested answer:Environmental situation:1) the ozone reductionPossible consequences: skin cancer; yet cataracts; destruction of plankton2) the greenhouse effect: the gradual slight warming of the air surroundings the earth because heatcannot escape through its upper levels.Possible consequences: melting icecaps; flooded coastlines; disturbed climate; dried up plains 3) Acid rainPossible consequences: corrode the constructions; destroy the crops4) atmosphere/noise/water body/ soil/ biological pollution5) industrial waste gas, waste water and waste solid matters6) deforestation7) soil erosion8) water shortageSuggested solutions:1) heighten people’s awareness of protection environment2) ensure the rational use of natural resources3) tap renewable resources and keep ecological balance4) recycle waste water5) perfect transportation vehicles to keep them from discharging wastes.6) develop greenbelt and forestations7) give economic sanctions in addition to legal penalties to those who pollute environment anddestroy nature.2. Cultural notes: (see reference book) P84Environmental protection organization: list some important environment protection organizations in China and UN.China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) Division of Early Warning and Assessment (DEWA)World Conservation Monitoring CenterGIWA: Global International Waters AssessmentUNEP Regional Resource Center for Asia and the Pacific (RRCAP)ENRIN: Environment and National Resource Information Network in Central/ EasternEurope3. Concerning the environmental problems arising today, let’s take a look at Text A to find out whatnew ideas the author offers to us.Theme: we should adopt a sensible environmentalismStyle: argumentative writingStructure: Part I: paras 1-5 (it is important to distinguish between environmental necessities andenvironmental luxuries and apply the fundamental principle of sensibleenvironmentalism)Part II: paras 6-11 (a sensible environmentalism does not sentimentalize the earth)Part III: paras 12-14 (man is the master of nature)4. Detailed Analysis of the TextPart oneStep one: ask Ss to browse the part to find out the major viewpoint and supporting details.The major viewpoint of the text is that human beings must save nature for themselves.Supporting details: 1. the ozone layer; skin cancer; plankton2. the greenhouse effect; melting icecaps; disturbed climate; dried up plains3. man’s self-preservationStep two: answer the following questions:1) What are the two steps one should take to make a choice among the different proposalsconcerning environmental protection?——first distinguish between environmental luxuries and environmental necessities. Then apply a rule.2) What are environmental luxuries and what are environmental necessities? (refer to the text)3) What examples does the writer give to illustrate environmental necessities?——preserving the atmosphere, by both protecting the ozone layer and halting the greenhouse effect is an environmental necessity.Step three: detailed learning of the textParaphrase:1. Environmental sensitivity is now as required… or aversion to nylon.——In upper-class society people gradually develop the awareness of environmental protection and such an attitude is born among them in the same way they show strong belief in democracy and strong dislike of nylon.2. Luxuries are those they… we must have regardless.——…luxuries refer to those which would be very nice for us to have if they don’t cost much.Instead, necessities are those we must have at any cost.Key words and phrases:1. aversion: strong dislike aversion to2: proposal: a plan or idea which is suggested for people to think about and decide uponproposal for; proposal to do sth.propose: (followed by a that-clause in subjunctive mood)——We proposed that he take n immediate action.3. in the name of: for the reason of, using the excuse of4. fundamental: of the basis or foundation of (followed by to)5. call for: require; demand6. on the ground of/ on…grounds: for reason of5.

Global warmingGlobal warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth?s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, which results from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, probably including expansion of subtropical deserts. Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects include changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, species extinctions, and changes in agricultural yields.(插⼊图⽚global warming)Section Two Global ReadingI Text analysis1.From which perspectives does the text address the issue of global warming?The text addresses the issue from three perspectives — the general public concern, its causes and consequences, and practical actions to tackle the problem.2.What‘s the author‘s purpose of writing?To raise people‘s consciousness of the potential dangers of global warming, and to suggest some actions to combat it.II Structural analysis2. Figure out the sub-ideas in the second part.1) the causes of the rising concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (Paragraphs 3 and4)2) the effect of such concentration on climate change (Paragraphs 5 and 6)3) the potential threat of global warming to human health and survival (Paragraph 7)Section Three Detailed ReadingText IFocus on Global WarmingJohn Weier1Twenty-five years ago if you made a trip to the local library and perused the periodical section for articles on global warming, you’d probably have come up with only a few abstracts from hardcore science journals or maybe a blurb in some esoteric geopolitical magazine. As an Internet search on global warming now attests, the subject has become as rooted in our public consciousness as Madonna2 or microwave cooking.12Perhaps all this attention is deserved. With the possible exception of another world war, giant asteroid, or an incurable plague, global warming may be the single largest threat to our planet.2For decades human factories and cars have spewed billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and the climate has begun to show some signs of warming. Many see this as a harbinger of what is to come.3If we don’t curb our greenhouse gas emissions, then low-lying nations could be awash in seawater, rain and drought patterns across the world could change, hurricanes could become more frequent, and El Ninos could become more intense.Our Warming Planet3What has worried many people now is that over the past 250 years humans have been artificially raising the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Our factories, power plants, and cars burn coal and gasoline and spit out a seemingly endless stream of carbon dioxide. We produce millions of pounds of methane by allowing our trash to decomposein landfills and by breeding large herds of methane-belching cattle.Nitrogen-based fertilizers, which we use on nearly all our crops, release unnatural amounts of nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere.4Once these carbon-based greenhouse gases get into the atmosphere, they stay there for decades or longer. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) since the industrial revolution, carbon dioxide levels have increased 31 percent and methane levels have increased 151 percent. Paleoclimate readings taken from fossil records show that these gases, two of the most abundant greenhouse gases, are at their highest levels in the past 420,000 years. Many scientists fear that the increased concentrations of greenhouse gases have prevented additional thermal radiation from leaving the Earth. In essence, these gases are trapping excess heat in the Earth’s atmosphere in much the same way that a windshield traps solar energy that enters a car.45Much of the available climate data appear to back these fears.5Temperature data gathered from many different sources all across the globe show that the surface temperature of the Earth, which includes the lower atmosphere and the surface of the ocean, has risen dramatically over several decades. Worldwide measurements of sea level show a rise of 0.1 to 0.2 meters over the last century. That’s an increase of roughly 1℃every 4,000 years. Readings gathered from glaciers reveal a steady recession of the world’scontinental glaciers. Taken together, all of these data suggest that over the last century the planet has experienced the largest increase in surface temperature in 1,000 years.6Not surprisingly, many scientists speculate that such changes in the climate will probably result in hotter days and fewer cool days.6According to the IPCC, land surface areas will increase in temperature over the summer months much more than the ocean.The mid-latitude to high-latitude regions in the Northern Hemisphere — areas such as the Continental United States, Canada, and Siberia — will likely warm the most. These regions could exceed mean global warming by as much as 40 percent.7As far as human health is concerned, those hit hardest will probably be residents of poorer countries that do not have the funds to fend against changes in climate.7 A slight increase in heat and rain in equatorial regions would likely spark an increase in vector-borne diseases such as malaria. More intense rains and hurricanes could cause more severe flooding and more deaths in coastal regions and along riverbeds. Even a moderate rise in sea level could threaten the coastlines of low-lying islands such as the Maldives. All across the globe, hotter summers could lead to more cases of heatstroke and deaths among those who are vulnerable, such as older people with heart problems. The warmer temperatures may also lead to higher levels of near-surface ozone from cars and factories, which would likely cause more perilous air quality days and hospital admissions for those with respiratory problems.Taking Actions8Fortunately, we can take actions to slow down global warming.8Global warming results primarily from human activities that release heat-trapping gases and particles into the air. The most important causes include the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, gas, and oil, and deforestation. To reduce the emission of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, we can curb our consumption of fossil fuels, use technologies that reduce the amount of emissions wherever possible, and protect the forests in the world.9We can also do things to mitigate the impacts of global warming and adapt to those most likely to occur,9 e.g., through careful planning and other strategies that reduce our vulnerability to global warming.10But we can’t stop there. We are also advocating policies that will combat global warming over the long term, things like clean cars that run on alternative fuels, environmentally responsible renewable energy technologies, and stopping the clear-cutting of valuable forests.11Clearly, global warming is a huge problem. It will take everyone —governments, industry, communities and individuals working together to make a real difference.Fortunately you can be part of them.Paragraphs 1-2Questions1. Why have people shown increasing concern about global warming? (Paragraph 2)The answer lies in the second paragraph: it is a harbinger of what is to come — the threat to low-lying nations, change of rainand drought patterns, frequent hurricanes and intense ElNinos.Words and Expressions1. peruse vt. to read through something, especially in order to find the part you are interested ine.g. He opened a newspaper and began to peruse the personal ads.Derivation:perusal n.e.g. a brief perusalHe sent a copy of the report to the governors for their perusal.2. periodical n. a publication that appears at fixed intervals, esp. one of a serious kinde.g. She has written for several legal periodicals.Derivation:period n.periodic a. occurring or appearing at (esp. regular) intervals 定期的,周期的periodically ad.3. come up with to think of an idea, plan, reply, etc.e.g. No one has come up with a convincing explanation of why dinosaurs died out.The scientists are beating their brains trying to come up with a solution to the problem.4. attest vt. / vi. to demonstrate, to declare to be truee.g. The luxurious furnishings attested to the family‘s wealth.The perfection of their design is attested by the fact that they have survived for thousands of years.

Related Information:Cultural InformationNormally we think of money as the coins and paper notes that are used as a standard medium of exchange or payment within any particular country. Great Britain has the pound, France has the franc, China has the Y uan, and the United States the dollar. But in alltechnologically advanced societies, there are now many different kinds of money. Wealth is not only measured by the amount of coins and paper notes that we possess but also by various types of assets. Aside from, real estate and other forms of material wealth like paintings or jewelry, some people can also own stocks and bonds. The resources of a company are divided into portions or shares that are issued in the form of transferable certificates called stocks. If a company does well, the profits are divided among stockholders. I f a government or a company wants to borrow money, it can issue bonds or certificates of debt that promise to pay back by a certain date the money borrowed plus interest. The risk factor is much higher in stocks. Bonds provide a safer form of investment but they are less profitable. Both stocks and bonds are bought and sold on the stock market.There have always been moral issues related to money. Some societies regarded lavish spending as morally wrong, while others considered lending money at a high rate of interest as a social crime. Many stories have been written on the miser’s greed for money. According to bible, ―the love of money is the root of all evil.ǁ The famous playwright, George Bernard Shaw state that, in the final analysis, it was not the love but the lack of money that was the root of all evil.While it is true that money causes all kinds of problems, it is equally true that in today’s society it is a necessary evil.Key Words Related to the Text1.

When it was created in the mid-19th century, the U.S. public school system was viewed as a means of improving society. This is one of the reasons the system has aimed to serve all pupils for 13 years, while other countries developed educational systems that removed underachieving students at younger ages. The inclusive nature of the U.S. school system has played a crucial role in unifying a nation of immigrants, transmitting national values and concepts, and offering—in theory, if not always in practice—the promise of equal opportunity through equal education.

Quotation: Para 8 quotes Protagoras’ principle: “Man is the measure of all things.”
Example: (Para 3) “For example: preserving the atmosphere, by both protecting the ozone layer and halting the greenhouse effect, is an environmental necessity.” (Para 13) “The most urgent accommodation must be made when the very integrity of man’s environment ---e.g., atmospheric ozone --- is threatened. When the threat to man is of a lesser order (say, the pollutants from coal- and oil-fired generators that cause death from disease but not fatal damage to the ecosystem), a more moderate accommodation that balances economic against health concerns is in order.”
