Ⅰ.阅读理解
　　[人与自然·自然界奥秘]Death Valley is famous for its moving rocks.
Since the early 1900s,visitors to Racetrack Playa,a dry lake bed in California,have wondered how the rocks can move on their own.
These rocks leave long tracks(轨迹) behind them.The long tracks show that the rocks have moved along the ground.Those rocks move only at night and only move once every year or two.And they don’t move at the same time or in the same direction.But how do they move How can a 350-kilogram rock move Now scientists have known the key to the question!
Here’s how it happens.
Death Valley is one of the hottest places in the world,but it is cold at night.When it rains,the hard ground becomes soft and wet.When it gets cold enough,the water on the ground will change into very thin ice.Then the strong wind can move flat rocks along the flat ground.In the morning,
the sun comes up and dries the ground.
Moving rocks can be found at other places in the world as well,but Death Valley is the most famous.

请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答五个问题,要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
　　[人与自然·探索自然]In southern Portugal,scientists from the University of Edinburgh have recently found some fossil(化石) remains of a previously unknown species of a crocodile-like “super salamander”.
The species could grow up to six feet in length.It lived in lakes and rivers.It was part of a wider group of primitive amphibians(两栖动物) that were widespread at the time but died out in the end.They are the ancestors of modern amphibians such as frogs.They are believed by scientists to have lived at the same time the dinosaurs began their rule.
Steve Brusatte led the study.He said the new species had hundreds of sharp teeth.It looks somehow “strange”compared to anything today.
Feeding mainly on fish,it was at the top of the food chain.But it’s also a danger for newly appeared dinosaurs and mammals that moved too near the water.
The team says the finding confirms that this group of amphibians lived in a more diverse geographic area than had been thought.
The dig began in 2009 and took several years.The “super salamander” bones were discovered in a half-meter thick layer of rock in a hillside.The team hopes to raise funds to continue exploring the site.

Ⅱ.回答问题
请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答五个问题,要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。
What did people from the New Stone Age look like For a long time,
nobody knew.But modern technologies have now showed us the faces of two men from that time.
Last month,a group of Chinese researchers released the portraits(肖像) of these two men.They were based on their skulls.These head bones were discovered at the Yangshao Village site in Henan Province.
The researchers believe the two men both lived near the Yellow River.
One man likely lived around 5,600 years ago,during the Yangshao culture.He was about 40 years old when he died.The other was around 50.He might have lived about 4,000 years ago.This was the Longshan culture period.
At present,there are no written records of these ancient people.The researchers collected lots of data from the skulls.They used the data to create 3D models of the men’s faces.Then,they studied populations with the closest genetic(基因的) background.This helped them to rebuild the muscles.Genetic studies also showed other features of the two men.These include their skin colour and what their hair was like.
“The project lets us know the faces of our ancestors,” said one of the researchers.“It also helps us learn something about the rich cultures of ancient society.”

创新实践
◆Step 1　Natural Discovery Sharing & Pioneer Storytelling
每小组4—5人,分“自然发现分享”和“探索先锋故事会”两个环节。
环节1:自然发现分享
每人用3分钟分享自己观察过的自然现象或经历(如:夏夜观察萤火虫、记录盆栽植物一周的生长变化、收集不同形状的树叶/石头等),并展示实物(树叶标本、照片、观察日记片段)或简单道具(如用手机播放自己录制的鸟鸣声)。
环节2:探索先锋故事会
每组提前抽签选择一位“自然探索著名人物”(可选:徐霞客“中国地理探险家”、达尔文“生物学家”、珍妮·古道尔“动物行为学家”、玛丽·安宁“化石猎人”),用5分钟为小组讲述其探索故事。



◆Step 2　Field Exploration
迷你自然探索任务(20分钟,户外或教室附近)
每组领取任务卡
任务1:观察5种不同植物的叶片,记录形状、颜色、排列方式,并推测这样的特征可能对植物有什么好处。



任务2:寻找“自然中的数学”——观察蜘蛛网的形状、花朵的花瓣数量(如梅花5瓣、格桑花8瓣),思考是否有规律。
要求:用手机拍照记录,简单标注观察结果。

Dear Mike,
I’m glad that you are interested in the “Exploring Plants on Campus” activity at our school.　I can’t wait to share something about it with you.
Firstly,we took an exciting tour around the schoolyard.Our science teacher showed us different plants,teaching us how to tell them apart.Then,a well-known teacher gave us an interesting speech about different kinds of plants in the world.He used simple stories to make the speech easy to understand.
Finally,we attended the plant exhibition in our school hall,and it was really cool.
This activity was really meaningful.It made me realise how wonderful nature is and how important it is to protect nature.
Yours,
Li Hua(共8张PPT)
