Unit 3Under the sea【导语】捕鲸业是世界上古老的行业之一，它的历史发展和现状如何呢？The whaling industry is one of the oldest industries in existence.It has undergone vast changes since its beginning，primarily due to the creation of the International Whaling Commission. Commercial whaling still continues throughout the world，but the whaling quotas are restricted by the commission，thereby helping conserve the whale populations.Whaling refers to hunting whales primarily for their oil，meat and bones.Whaling dates back to prehistoric times，most prevalent in Norway and Japan.The hunt became an industry in the 1600s in the Arctic regions，mostly by the Dutch and British.American colonists started whaling in the 1700s.Nantucket whalers were the first to kill a sperm whale，and the discovery of spermaceti in the whale's head made the sperm whale one of the most highly prized catches.Whaling ships set out from New England into the Pacific for extremely long voyages to hunt down these whales.Whaling industry has been a part of a variety of countries' industries.The following countries were the earliest pioneers in the whaling industry：England，France，Germany，Iceland，Japan，the Netherlands，Norway and the American colonies (although they were not a country at the time)The following countries still practice whaling in some form or fashion：Canada，Greenland，the Grenadines，Iceland，Indonesia，Japan，the Netherlands，Norway，Russia and the United States.【词海拾贝】1vast adj.广阔的；巨大的2primarily adv.首先；最初3commission n委员会4commercial adj.商业的5quota n配额6prevalent adj.盛行的7sperm whale 巨头鲸；抹香鲸【问题思考】1What helps conserve the whale populations?_答案：The whaling quotas.2What made the sperm whale one of the most highly prized catches?_答案：The discovery of spermaceti in the whale's head.将单词与其正确释义连线1anecdoteA锐利的；锋利的2accommodation B浅的；肤浅的；浅显的3yell C陡峭的4teamwork D生动的；鲜明的5flee E配合；协作6depth F纯的；纯粹的；纯洁的7conservation G住所；住宿8pure H狭窄的；有限的；狭隘的9vivid I大叫；呼喊10narrow J轶事，奇闻11sharp K逃避，逃跑12shallow L保存，保护13steep M深(度)；深处答案：1J2G3I4E5K6M7L8F9D10H11A12B13C.根据所给汉语提示写出单词1_ adj.每年的n年刊；年鉴2_ vt.当场见到；目击n目击者；证人3_ prep.在对面adj.相对的；相反的4_ vi. & n暂停，中止5_ vt.拖；拉；扯6_ vt.催促；极力主张7_ vt.放弃；遗弃；抛弃8_ n目标；靶；受批评的对象9_ vi.思考vt.映射；反射10_ adj.意识到的；知道的11_ adj.好的；整齐的；匀称的12_ vt.恐吓vi.受惊吓答案：1.annual2.witness3.opposite4.pause5.drag6urge7.abandon8.target9.reflect10.aware11neat12.scare.根据英语释义写出单词1_：to occur every year2_：desire or encourage sb to do3_：someone who sees an event and reports what happened4_：pull sth along the ground5_：stop for a short period and then continue6_：leave the place，thing，or person for a long time7_：only a small distance from one side to the other8_：the line that marks the edge9_：very impressive or very difficult and perhaps rather frightening10_：money paid regularly to those not working any more11_：not mixed with anything答案：1.annual2.urge3.witness4.drag5.pause6.abandon7.narrow8.boundary9.awesome10pension11.pure.选用短语的适当形式填空yell out；help.out；sort out；hold.up；aim at hold on；reflect on；upside down；be aware of；be about to1Organizing the school trip will be a lot of work，so I need some volunteers to _答案：help out2Don't squeeze his hand；it will make him _ in pain.答案：yell out3The boy _ the foreign stamps that he had collected.答案：was sorting out4They should have finished that job on Fridaywhat's _ them _？答案：holdingup5I _ the tree but hit the car by mistake.答案：was aiming at6I _ go to bed when I heard someone knock at the door.答案：was about to7We managed to _ until help arrived.答案：hold on8Be careful and don't turn the table _答案：upside down9The girl was left to _ the influences of her decision.答案：reflect on10The young men _ the danger of taking drugs.答案：are aware of.领会句子所用句型并译成汉语1It_was_a_time_when the killer whales，or “killers” as they were then called，helped the whalers catch the baleen whales that were on their annual migration._答案：那个时期，虎鲸(当时被称为“杀手”)帮助捕鲸人在每年须鲸迁徙时捕捉须鲸。2We ran down to the shore in time to see_an_enormous animal opposite_us_throwing itself out of the water and then crashing down again._答案：我们及时赶到岸边，看到对面有一个庞大的动物猛力跃出水面，然后又坠落到水里。3This was the call that announced there was_about_to_be a whale hunt._
