(1) 閱讀指導：1) 認真看一遍這四個表格，明確每個表格是關于大象的那個方面的情況。2）然后，再讀短文一遍，找到相關的內容的依據。仔細讀相關內容，分析空格處應當填寫的單詞。比如：第一個方框中講大象在泰國的重要性，通過讀短文可知依據應是短文的第一段。由最后兩句話“我們的第一國旗上面有一只白色的大象，這是好運的象征。”可知第一個空格處應填寫elephant；第二個空格處應填luck。其他與此類似。3）最后，再讀自己所填寫的空格及依據，看是否有錯誤。(2) Ss read the article and fill in the blanks in the map. (3) Check the answers with the Ss. IX. Language points1. friendlyfriendly為形容詞，是由名詞friend加后綴-ly構成，意為“友好的”。be friendly to .意為“對友好”。 e.g. The boy is friendly to old people. 2. Our first flag had a white elephant on it. 我們的第一面國旗上就（繪）有一頭白象。 had為動詞have的過去式形式，表示“曾經有；過去有”。意味著“現在泰國國旗上已不再有白象了”。3. Elephants can walk for a long time and never get lost. 大象能夠長時間行走而且從不迷路。1) lost作為形容詞，表示“走失的；迷路的；失散的”、“丟失的；遺失的”， 常與系動詞get或be一同構成短語，表示“丟失；走失；迷路”。 e.g. What bad luck! My keys are lost again. 真是倒霉！我的鑰匙又丟了。 The little girl cant find her home. She gets lost. 小女孩找不到家了，她迷路了。 2) lost還經常直接用于名詞之前，做定語修飾名詞。e.g. a lost child 走丟了的孩子 the lost tourists 迷了路的游客們 a lost watch 被人遺失的手表4. But elephants are in great danger. 但是大象面臨巨大的危險。be in (great) danger 處于（極大）危險之中e.g. The boy falls into the lake. Hes in great danger. 小男孩落入湖中，他處于極大危險中。英語中，常用形容詞big或great與danger搭配，表示“巨大的危險”。(be) out of danger 脫離危險e.g. The doctors say hes now out of danger. 大夫們說現在他脫離了危險。5. People cut down many trees so elephants are losing their homes. 人們砍伐了很多樹木導致大象失去了家園。cut down 砍伐e
