worst member of the family,the least respectable or well-behaved.,(For,genetic,reasons,even,in,a,flock,of,white,sheep,preferred,as,the,wool,can,be,dyed various colours,black sheep are occasionally born,but are not wanted,an oddity and problem.),She,revealed,the,secret.,(One,possible,origin,is,that,dishonest,people,tried,to,sell,cats in bags as pigs and any revealing of the truth would ruin the

very slowly;dogs need to be trained when young;mice are quiet to avoid being prey;black sheep were not welcome to farmers in the past.,1.,To what extent do these descriptions reflect the different characters of animals?,Work in pairs and discuss the questions.,第8页,Warming up,People do this because they think the animals actually have those characteristics.Lions seem brave as they are not afraid of any other animal,peacocks appear to be proud as they show off their tail feathers in the mating season,and snakes seem cunning and evil because they move so silently,attack suddenly,may use poison and swallow their prey whole.Likewise ants and bees are always busy and seem hardworking.Besides,it is a vivid and colourful way to describe people as being like animals.,2.Why do you think people use animals to reflect human characteristics?,第9页,Warming up,Animals may see human beings as dangerous,cruel,deceitful and very greedy.,Animals may comment on human intelligence,ability to cooperate and thought for the future.Many species would be surprised at the strength of family bonds among people.,3.If animals could talk,how would they describe human beings?,第10页,Warming up,There is no reason they should not have.The idea animals and humans are completely different categories is very out-of-date.The higher mammals are very like ourselves.Chimpanzees,dolphins,elephants etc,they show all the

represented the fish in court.,7 Swiss farmers think animals should be better protected by law.,8 The fish won the case.,The true statements are 1,3,4 and 6.,第15页,Skimming,Answer the questions.,1 What mistake did the fisherman make?,He boasted about the fish he caught to a local newspaper.,2 Why does the Swiss state provide legal aid for animals?,To protect animals from bad treatment by human.Besides,while humans can defend themselves,animals cannot.,第16页,Skimming,3 What law was introduced in?,One detailing the conditions under which any species of animals should be kept.,4 What did animal rights supporters fail to do in?,They failed to obtain state-funded legal representation for all animals in Switzerland,similar to that in Zurich.,5 When were the first animal protection laws passed in Britain?,In the 17,th,century.,第17页,Skimming,6 What was the 18th-century debate about animals?,The debate about whether animals had feelings or not.,7 Which were the two main focuses of attention for animal rights groups in the 20th century?,Hunting and scientific research using animals.,8 What two reasons does the writer give to suggest that animal rights should be limited?,We cannot expect animals to fulfil obligations of any kind,and much scientific research does need animal testing.,第18页,The one that got away,译文,Digging,1,Fishermen always like to tell tales about“the one that,got away,”,the fish which escaped from their hooks after a lengthy struggle.,第19页,2,So,imagine,a freezing day in February,and youre on the banks of,Lake Zurich,in Switzerland.Youre fishing,youve just,cast,your line into the waters,and youre waiting patiently for a fish to bite.Suddenly the rod bends and you realize that youve caught something fairly,substantial,.For ten minutes you battle with the fish until finally,you pull in a,pike,one of those huge fish with lots of teeth weighing ten kilos.Now,based on the not-very-scientific assumption that the uglier the fish,the better it tastes,what would you do next?,Digging,第20页,3,You guessed it!,When this happened to a Swiss fisherman in,he invited a group of friends to a local restaurant,where they had a delicious lunch.He then,boasted,to a local newspaper how long it had taken him to,land,the fish.But that was a big mistake.,译文,Digging,第21页,4,The Swiss have some of the strictest animal,welfare legislation in the world,designed to protect animals from cruel treatment by humans.,Fish,pigs,birds,and other social animals are not allowed to be kept alone.,Horses and cows have to be allowed outside for a fixed number of hours even in winter.Dog owners are obliged to attend special training courses and to feed their pets special dog food.,译文,Digging,第22页,5,In fact,Zurich even has a state-funded,attorney,Antoine Goetschel,who specializes in,representing,animals if they have been subjected to cruelty.And when the fisherman on Lake Zurich was reported by an animal rights organization and brought to court,it was Goetschel who represented the fish.,译文,Digging,第23页,The lawyers view is that there is a,core,principle of fair justice which supports his work.,Animals can be,and often are,badly treated by humans.But while humans can defend themselves,often with the help of lawyers,animals cannot.Legal representation for the animal acknowledges respect for its,dignity,.,译文,Digging,第24页,6,In,a law was passed in Switzerland,which details the conditions in which any,species,of animals should be kept.But unlike the state of Zurich,the other 25 federal states of Switzerland dont have animal rights lawyers.Switzerland has,a form of direct democracy,where citizens can,contest,new laws or,vote,for changes to it if there is enough,collective,support.A group of animal rights supporters requested a vote,which,took place,in March,to decide if all animals should have state-funded legal representation similar to that in Zurich.,译文,Digging,第25页,7,Farmers were against the idea.,They took great care to respect the dignity of the cattle in their care.But they ran the risk of being,accused,of a crime simply by doing their job,.Even the federal government was against it for two reasons.Firstly,the separate states of Switzerland already have a special office for animal protection.Secondly,the lawyers would be funded by the taxpayer.,In the end,the,proposal,was rejected by 70 per cent of the voters.,译文,Digging,第26页,8,Animal rights and animal welfare are not,modern issues.In 17th-century England and,Ireland,laws were passed to protect farm animals.In the 18th century,there was much discussion about whether animals had feelings.In the 19th century both Britain and the US created animal protection groups.Finally,in the 20th century,the animal rights movement,was known for its direct action against all forms of hunting,and against scientific research,establishments,where animals were used for experiments.,译文,Digging,第27页,9,Yet the,counter,argument is that rights also,imply,obligations.,Although we may allow,animals certain rights,we cannot expect them to fulfil any,obligations,towards us,.Furthermore,much scientific research in general,and essential medical research in particular,needs to be tested on animals.,译文,Digging,第28页,10,But passing laws not just to protect animals but to give them legal representation is surely the most extreme position in the debate about animal rights.At the very least,the debate,demonstrates,a more,moderate,concern about the general welfare of animals in a,civilized,world.,译文,Digging,第29页,11,And what about the fish and the fisherman?,The Zurich state lawyer lost his case in court,and on this rare occasion,the fisherman was the one that got away,.,译文,Digging,Main idea of the text,第30页,1.The one that got away,(title),It is an idiom which refers to something good that you nearly had or that nearly happened.Fishermen are seen as likely to exaggerate and“fishermens tales”are regarded as pretty unreliable,particularly when they are about a fish that got away and was not caught.It therefore cannot be inspected as proof or otherwise of the size claimed by the fisherman.,Difficult sentences,第31页,Difficult sentences,2.You guessed it!,(Line 1,Para 3),What the fisherman did is what most of us would do.It shows the writers attitude of sympathy towards the man who caught the pike.,第32页,Difficult sentences,3.Fish,pigs,birds,and other social animals are not allowed to be kept alone.,(Line 4,Para 4),social animals:,animals which naturally live in groups and might suffer if kept alone,第33页,Difficult sentences,4.The lawyers view is that there is a core principle of fair justice which supports his work.,(Line 7,Para 5),Mr Goetschel believes he is defending an important moral principle,that all living creatures have their own dignity and right to be well-treated.Humans cannot just do as they wish with other species.When the way a human treats an animal falls below a certain standard,someone should speak for the animal and make sure its rights are protected.,第34页,Difficult sentences,5.They took great care to respect the dignity of the cattle in their care.But they ran the risk of being accused of a crime simply by doing their job.,(Line 1,Para 7),The farmers agreed they should treat their animals well and ensure they were well-cared for.But they felt the law was going too far and that sooner or later someone,would claim keeping animals on a farm was itself against their rights.,第35页,Difficult sentences,6.Although we may allow animals certain rights,we cannot expect them to fulfil any obligations towards us.,(Line 2,Para 9),It is a philosophical or legal principle that a right also creates a duty.People who argue against the concept of animal rights point out that animals cannot be expected to do their duty.They will act according to instinct.If therefore animals do not have duties,they cannot be said to have rights.,第36页,Difficult sentences,7.At the very least,the debate demonstrates a more moderate concern about the general welfare of animals in a civilized world.,(Line 4,Para 10),The writer expresses the opinion that whether or not one thinks animals should receive legal representation,it is a good thing that such matters are discussed.In a,civilized society the way in which animals are treated must be of concern.,第37页,Difficult sentences,8.The Zurich state lawyer lost his case in court,and on this rare occasion,the fisherman was the one that got away.,(Line 2,Para 11),The writer closes the passage by returning to the story about the fisherman and the lawyer who took him to court for cruelty.The court did not agree and the fisherman suffered no penalty.The writer plays with the idiom“the one that got away”.However,this time it is not a fish that escapes,but the fisherman who is found innocent by the court.,第38页,imagine,释义,vt.,to form a picture of something or someone in your mind,想象，构想（画面）,例句,Imagine my surprise when they announced I had won!,想象一下他们宣告我获胜时候我有多吃惊吧！,翻译,Words,例句,I can just imagine what the place is going to look like in a few years time.,我能想像出这个地方几年之后会变成什么样子。,翻译,Can you imagine ice that does not melt and is not wet?,(Jun.1995,CET-4,Listening comprehension),真题,第39页,cast,释义,vt.,to throw a fishing line or net into the water,抛(鱼钩)；撒（网）,例句,I was casting my line from the shore when it got tangled with hers.,我从岸上抛渔线，却与她缠在一起了。,翻译,Words,例句,Practice is needed to cast your fishing line smoothly.,你需要多训练才能把钓线平稳地抛出去。,翻译,第40页,substantial,释义,a.,large in amount or degree,数目大;可观,例句,A substantial number of houses were damaged by the floods.,大量房屋被洪水冲垮了。,翻译,Words,例句,He made substantial progress in writing English.,他在英文写作方面进步显著。,翻译,第41页,释义,例句,I wish she would stop boasting about her exam results.,我真希望她别再吹嘘自己考试成绩了。,翻译,Words,v.,to talk too proudly about your abilities,achievements,or possessions,夸耀；吹嘘,boast,例句,She often boasts that her father is the president of the company.,她经常夸耀说她父亲是这家企业总裁。
