Тема сегодняшнего урока

«Стало холодат»… или все-таки нет?

Для тех, кто не помнит – это не опечатка. «Стало холодат» говорил Василий из фильма «Любовь и голуби». Сегодня поговорим о природе, о погоде, т.е. об  окружающей среде – the environment. По тому, как мы относимся к окружающей среде, мы, люди, делимся на eco- warriors или eco-activists («зеленые», защитники природы), environmentalists (ученые, специалисты по проблемам окружающей среды)  или даже eco-freaks (экоманьяки, ярые борцы за охрану природы).

Давайте научимся грамотно по-английски рассуждать на экологические темы. Попробуйте совместить следующие термины 1- 14 с их значениями a- n

 

 

1. chemical fertilizers

 

a. rain that has chemicals in it from factories, etc.

 

2. fossil fuels (полезные ископаемые)

 

b. growing crops or keeping animals on a farm using natural materials, without artificial chemicals

 

3. recycling

 

c. chlorofluorocarbon – a type of gas found in cans of spray

 

4. organic farming

 

d. energy of the sun or wind that can be collected and used for operating machines, making electricity, etc.

 

5. CFCs

 

e. the increase in the temperature of the earth’s atmosphere, caused by the increase of certain gases

 

6. acid rain

 

f. the warming of the earth’s atmosphere as a result of harmful gases, etc. in the air

 

7. deforestation

 

g. not harmful to the natural world

 

8. landfills (захоронения отходов)

 

h. putting used objects or materials through a process so that they can be used again

 

9. wind/solar power

 

i. substances that are put on land or soil to make plants grow better

 

10. environmentally-friendly

 

j. the layer of the gas high up in the atmosphere that helps to protect the earth from the dangerous rays on the sun

 

11. alternative sources of energy

 

k. untraditional places where energy can be obtained

 

12. the ozone layer

 

l. areas of land where large amounts of waste material are buried

 

 

13. the greenhouse effect

 

m. e.g. coal, oil and natural gas formed over millions of years from decaying remains of animals and plants

 

14. global warming

 

n. cutting down trees over a large area

 

А теперь вставьте подходящие по смыслу фразы – термины 1-14 из первого задания в пропуски a-n в тексте:

Our growing need for food, goods and energy had had harmful effects on the environment.

Gases produced by cars, power stations and factories cause a)______, which kills trees and fish and damages buildings. By using more b)________ forms of transport, we help reduce this form of pollution.

A layer of carbon dioxide (углекислый газ) and other gases traps heat and keeps the earth at the right temperature. This is called c)________. By burning d)________ (oil, coal, petrol, etc.) we are producing too much carbon dioxide, which is causing temperatures to rise gradually. This e)______  could lead to dramatic changes in climate.

A layer of a gas called ozone protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Certain chemicals used in industry, such as f)_______, have caused a hole to develop in  g)______. This increased levels of ultraviolet radiation damage plants and sea life, and increase the risk of skin cancer.

Most of the energy we use to heat and light buildings, run machines, etc is made by burning fossil fuels. These will eventually run out, so we need to use more h)______, such as i)__and______, that are renewable and do not pollute the air. We should also avoid wasting energy by using less electricity and water and insulating our houses.

We are destroying our forests, which produce oxygen and provide habitats for animals and birds.

j)_______also allows rain to wash away the soil making the land useless for growing things.

We pollute water by dumping waste from factories and houses, and by accidentally spilling chemicals and oil. k)_______ damage rivers and lakes by causing a layer of tiny plants called algae (водоросли) to cover the surface of the water. l)_____ does not harm the water supply.

Burying rubbish in m)_______ can let harmful chemicals leak through the ground into rivers, and it uses a lot of land. Burning rubbish adds to global warming. By sorting our rubbish for n)_______, we can cut down on waste.

Этот текст вы можете использовать в качестве ответа на не очень сложную (в плане мыслей, а не языка) тему по экологии. Успехов!
