结The Present Progressive Passive Voice 构1. As a result these endangered animals may even die out.

P30

绝或濒临灭绝，从而认识到保护动物的重要性和必要性；通过探讨保护动物的措施和建议，引导学生发表自己的见解和看法；通过进一步讨论提出有效的保护措施，唤起学生保护动植物、维护生态平衡、保护我们家园的责任感。并能写信表达自己保护动物的方法与建议，力求正确表达自己的意图并解释原因，并能正确使用被动语态的现在进行时。

Learning about Language分词汇和语法两部分。其中Discovering useful words and expressions是本单元单词的英文释义练习、在具体文章中的运用和相关词汇的分类与运用；Discovering useful structures 是以文章内容为载体的

“被动语态的现在进行时”的操练。由此可以看出本教材已明显地由以结构为特征的传统语法训练转变到以交际功能为特征的功能语法训练，充分体现了新教材话题、功能、结构相结合的特点。

2. 教材重组

2.1 从话题、内容和功能上分析Warming Up 与Workbook中的LISTENING & TALKING一致，旨在启发学生讨论、思考本单元话题，可以整和成一节任务型“听说课”。
