What is space
Space is an exciting place!Our solar system is in space. It is mainly made up of the sun and the eight planets that travel around the sun. The solar system also has moons and other space objects(物体).
The sun
The sun is in the centre of the solar system. It is a hot and bright star. A star gives off heat and light. The sun is the closest star to the earth. That’s why it looks different from other stars. Most stars look small. We can see them only at night because they’re so far away and sunlight is so strong that we can’t see them only by our eyes.
Around the sun
A planet is a large ball made of rock or gas. We live on one of them—the earth. Each planet moves around the sun.

Shen Kuo, the most excellent figure in the entire history of Chinese science, was born in the Northern Song. He also made contributions in fields of mathematics, geography, economics, engineering, medicine, music and others.
When he was young, Shen travelled to many parts of the country and studied the plants, fossils, rivers, mountains, weather, local engineering projects and so on. He also conducted experiments to test his discoveries and theories. For example, it took him over three years to discover that the compass does not point directly north, but to the north magnetic pole(北磁极). In this field Shen Kuo was hundreds of years ahead of Western scientists. Because of his wisdom, he served as a government official in many positions.
In his late years, Shen Kuo settled down in Runzhou and wrote a great work Mengxi Bitan, or Dream Pool Essays. It consists of three parts, which is a collection of his life experiences and insights. In Mengxi Bitan, you can learn about both the ancient musical instruments and drawings. You can also travel in Yandang Mountain along with him. The book was widely regarded as an important scientific work in ancient China. Today, this amazing 1,000-year-old work has been translated into a number of different languages.

Unit 5 Looking into nature
  Lightning usually destroys(破坏) trees it hits. But scientists have found an amazing tree. It not only lives through lightning strikes(击中) but actually grows better because of them!
For years, scientists thought lightning was only bad for trees. But as they explored places like the Amazon rainforest, they started to think there could be trees that fight against lightning. It wasn’t until about 100 years ago that such“super trees” were discovered.Now, they know of a tree that uses lightning’s power to kill nearby trees and get more sunlight and nutrients(营养) for itself.
In 2015, scientist Evan Gora saw a Dipteryx oleifera tree, which had been struck by strong lightning. It wasn’t badly harmed while the neighbouring trees were killed. Scientists thought this tree could handle lightning, but there was no way to be sure.
Gora and his team saw more of these trees that grew well after lightning strikes. So, they did a study. They followed 93 trees struck by lightning for 2—6 years. They found that all 9 Dipteryx oleifera trees in the study survived with little harm. But 84 other trees were badly hurt, and 64% of them died within two years.
These Dipteryx oleifera trees are very tall and have wide tops, making them 68% more likely to be struck by lightning than other trees. During the study, one of the Dipteryx trees was struck twice in 5 years yet continued to grow well.
At present, more studies suggest that these trees attract lightning on purpose to destroy other trees and grow better. Scientists are not sure how these trees survive lightning, but they guess it may involve the trees’ ability to carry electricity. They are also interested in other trees with similar characteristics.
( )1.What is special about the Dipteryx oleifera tree
A. It dies quickly after lightning strikes.
B. It takes in nutrients directly from lightning.
C. It grows better after being struck by lightning.
D. It avoids lightning by hiding under other trees.
( )2.What does the underlined word “handle” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Mix up.    B. Give out.
C. Suffer from.   D. Deal with.
D
C
( )3.Why do Dipteryx oleifera trees attract lightning
A. To get more water from the sky.
B. To kill nearby trees for growth.
C. To become shorter and stronger.
D. To protect other trees around them.
( )4.What might scientists do next according to the text
A. Plant more Dipteryx oleifera trees.
B. Study how trees attract lightning better.
C. Find out where Dipteryx oleifera trees live.
D. Look for more trees that can survive lightning.

任务一:任务型阅读。
Charles Darwin was a world-famous nature explorer and scientist. Born in England, he had a strong love for nature from childhood, and his parents never doubted that this passion would lead him to great achievements. At 22, he got the chance to set sail on the Beagle for a five-year trip around the world, and he was excited about all the new things he would get to do during the journey.
Darwin often wondered whether there were hidden rules behind the diversity of species on earth. During the trip, he visited many remote places and collected plenty of plant and animal samples that belonged to rare(珍贵的) species. He carefully observed(发现) the differences between species in different areas. On the Galapagos Islands, he noticed that finches(雀科鸣鸟) used to have similar beak shapes, but they later evolved(进化) different ones to fit different foods. Thanks to these careful observations and in-depth thinking, he developed his famous theory of evolution(进化论).
After returning home, Darwin spent years studying his discoveries and finally wrote On the Origin of Species. His work no longer let people believe that all species were created fixed and unchangeable. It changed people’s views on how life developed on earth and proved that nature is full of amazing changes and connections.

 A famous Chinese nature explorer 
Xu Xiake is a famous Chinese nature explorer who has been admired by people for centuries. He loved travelling so much that he spent most of his life visiting different places across China.
During his journeys, he carefully recorded what he saw, including mountains, rivers and special landforms. Many people wonder if his notes were difficult to write without modern tools, but he never gave up. Whether facing bad weather or dangerous roads, he kept exploring.
His book Travels of Xu Xiake tells us that his experiences are valuable for geography research. He shows us that we can find beauty and knowledge when we explore the world.  (共8张PPT)
