新人教版選修六 unit 4 global warming-reading[課件]

1、Reading,What is the greenhouse made and used for?,A greenhouse is made of glass and is used for growing plants, especially during cold weather.,How does it work? The air inside is warm because the glass traps the

2、heat from the sun and keeps it from escaping. This makes the greenhouse heat up and so the plants can grow throughout the cold period.,What are the “greenhouse gases”? In the atmosphere surrounding the ear

3、th there are gases, which are called “greenhouse gases”, including carbon dioxide, methane(甲烷, 沼氣) and water vapor.,What do you think greenhousegases do? They trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the earth.,(

7、best answers.1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The temperature of the earth increased about one degree Fahrenheit during the 20th century.B. The carbon dioxide content in the air increased by

8、70 parts per million from 1957 to 1997.C. All scientists accept the data in graph 2 except Charles Keeling.D. Janice Foster says that more carbon dioxide will make plants grow faster.,A,2. Which of the following is Dr

9、Janice Foster’s opinion?A. The result of the temperature increase will be serious.B. The amount of warming is nothing serious.C. We needn’t worry about high levels of carbon dioxide.D. Global warming is a natural phe

10、nomenon.,A,濃度單位,,Glance quickly at the magazine article and answer the questions.Who wrote the magazine article? What is the name of the magazine? Sophie Armstrong wrote the magazine article. The name of the magazin

11、e is Earth Care.,What are the names of the three scientists mentioned in the article? They are Dr. Janice Foster, Charles Keeling and George Hambley.,3. What do they think about global warming?

12、 Do they agree with one another? They don't agree with each other. Dr. Janice Foster thinks the effects of global warming could be very serious.,George Hambley

13、 thinks global warming will be mild with few bad environmental consequences. Charles Keeling believes it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that is resulting in a big increase in carbon dioxide.,What a

14、re the two graphs about? Graph I shows the temperature increase of one degree Fahrenheit between 1860 to 2000. Graph 2 is about the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, 1958--1990.,,What is the mai

15、n topic of the article? Global warming/ the warming of the earth.,2. True: 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 False: 1, 2, 4, 9, 10Correct sentences:1. The temperature last century increased much.2. Not everyone believ

16、es that global warming is caused by human activities.,4. Natural gas is not a greenhouse gas but a fossil fuel.9. George Hambley thinks that more carbon dioxide is a positive thing and it will make p

18、and which three are going to disagree with the statement (Group B).,● Group A discuss why they agree with the statement; Group B discuss why they disagree.● Group A and B get together. Tell each other the reasons why ag

21、ming would have to include a measurable, consistent temperature rise, like the one we have seen in recent history. A question remains – Is it an unusual change? Much debate about that one.,3. The earth gets one kind of e

23、use effect really is a bogus(假的) term. A greenhouse keeps warm by physically trapping the air inside and preventing convection(對(duì)流). The atmosphere helps keep the planet warm by trapping outgoing radiation instead.,5. The

24、 leading gasses are Carbon-dioxide, Methane, Ozone(臭氧) and Nitrous Oxide(一氧化二氮). Gas analyzers show the concentrations of this stuff have increased somewhat since the beginning of the industrial revolution.,6.The greenho

25、use effect raises the average temperature of the Earth by more than 30 degrees, so without it the Earth would be a very cold place!,green house effect,green house effect,GREENHOUSE Feeling helpless to do anything
