YLE Flyers 单元 3 · Animals & Nature

这个单元有 5 章:主题课文"Leo 一家去动物园"、词汇延展(动物词族 + 自然景物词)、语法延展(现在进行时)、功能句型(描述正在发生的动作)、Flyers 考点与自测。

学完你能:用 70+ 动物词说出 15 种常见动物;现在进行时 be + doing 三句话描述"照片里/眼前正在发生什么";分清"他每天跑"和"他现在正在跑"——然后直接接上 KET 的"正在做"话题。

预计时间:1 周。

衔接说明:上一单元你学了"他每天做什么"(一般现在时),这一单元升级到"他现在正在做什么"(现在进行时)。动物是 Flyers 看图说话的黄金话题,两个时态的对比也是 KET 读写完形的高频考点。

主题课文 · 动物园的一天

A Day at the Zoo
原创课文,场景:Leo 一家周末去动物园,他正举着相机拍照片,一边拍一边解说每张照片里"正在发生什么"。这是 Flyers 看图说话的经典题型,也是 KET 现在进行时的"上游预习"。注意加粗的 be + doing——第 3 章逐个拆。

课文 · At the Zoo

It's Sunday today. We're visiting Green Park Zoo. Look at this photo! The elephants are walking slowly near the river. They're drinking water with their long noses. Over there, the monkeys are jumping between the trees. One little monkey is climbing up a rope, and his mum is watching him. The pandas are sitting on the grass. They're eating bamboo — they love it! Near the lake, the ducks are swimming happily, and some birds are flying above us. My sister Anna is taking a photo of a big tiger. The tiger is sleeping under a tree, but his babies are playing with a ball. My dad is buying ice cream for everyone. I'm holding my camera and I'm smiling. What a great day!
今天是星期天。我们正在参观绿色公园动物园。看这张照片!大象们正慢慢在河边走。它们正用长鼻子喝水。那边,猴子们正在树之间跳来跳去。一只小猴子正往绳子上爬,他妈妈正看着他。熊猫们正坐在草地上。它们正在吃竹子——它们超爱!湖边,鸭子们正开心地游泳,一些鸟正在我们头顶飞。我姐姐 Anna 正给一只大老虎拍照。老虎正睡在树下,但它的宝宝们正在玩球。我爸爸正给大家买冰淇淋。我举着相机,正在笑。多棒的一天啊!
本课核心词:elephant, monkey, panda, tiger, duck, bird, bear, lion, snake, fish, tree, river, grass, lake, zoo, walk, jump, climb, swim, fly, sleep, eat, drink

课文精讲 · 看图说话"三句话公式"

(可参看「看图说话句型」深化页)

论Flyers 看图说话公式

第 1 句:在哪里。The elephants are walking near the river.(现在进行时 + 地点)

第 2 句:在做什么。They are drinking water.(be + doing 描述动作)

第 3 句:加细节。One monkey is climbing a rope, and his mum is watching him.(and 连接两个同时进行的动作)

考试怎么考:Flyers 写作 Part 6 和口语 Part 3 都给一张大图让你说"图里在发生什么"——用这三句话公式就能把一张图说满。它也是 KET 现在进行时读写题的同一套打法。

记
这一章要记住的 5 个搭配

① visit the zoo 参观动物园

② take a photo 拍照(不用 make)

③ between the trees 在树之间(两者之间用 between)

④ under a tree 在树下

⑤ above us 在我们上方(上方不接触用 above)

02

词汇延展 · 动物与自然词族

Animal & Nature Words
动物与自然词族按"陆地动物/水生与飞禽/自然景物/动作动词"四组背。KET 的动物与环境词汇和这里有 70% 重叠——现在背熟,看图说话直接能用。

四组词族 · 动物、自然、动作

(可参看「动物自然词族」深化页)
动物与自然词族(Flyers 高频)
组核心词搭配/备注
陆地动物elephant, monkey, panda, tiger, lion, bear, snake, giraffe, zebra单复数:one elephant / two elephants
水生与飞禽duck, bird, fish, frog, shark, whale, parrotfish 单复数同形(one fish / two fish)
自然景物tree, river, grass, lake, forest, mountain, sky, sun, flowerin the tree / on the grass
动作动词walk, jump, climb, swim, fly, run, sleep, eat, drink, play-ing 形式:walking / jumping / swimming
高频陷阱

① fish 单复数同形:one fish / two fish(不是 fishes)。Fishes 只在指"不同种类的鱼"时用。

② in the tree vs on the tree:外来的鸟/人用 in the tree;树上长的苹果用 on the tree。

③ 双写再加 -ing:swim→swimming、run→running、sit→sitting——重读闭音节双写末尾辅音。

④ 动物的"它":指动物用 it/its,不用 he/she(把宠物当家人时例外,课文里熊猫就用了 they)。

03

语法延展 · 现在进行时

Present Continuous
"照片里/眼前正在发生什么"是 Flyers 看图说话和听力 Part 1 的主力时态。这一章把 be + doing 家族一次拿下,并和上一单元的一般现在时做对比——它俩的辨析是 KET 读写完形的高频考点。

现在进行时全家族

现在进行时(此刻正在发生)
形式规则例子
I amI'm + doingI'm holding my camera.
He/She/It isHe's/She's + doingShe's taking a photo.
We/You/They areThey're + doingThe monkeys are jumping.
否定isn't / aren't + doingThe tiger isn't running. He's sleeping.
疑问Are they...? / Is he...?What are they doing?
最高频陷阱:be 动词不能丢

现在进行时 = be + doing,两个都不能少:The monkeys are jumping(不是 The monkeys jumping)。漏了 are 是中国学生最常犯的错。

动词 -ing 拼写三规则:一般直接加(walk→walking);去 e 加 ing(make→making、dance→dancing);重读闭音节双写(run→running、swim→swimming、sit→sitting)。

考试怎么考:Flyers 完形:"Look! The boys ___ (play) football." 填 are playing(不是 play)。

一般现在时 vs 现在进行时

两个时态一表分清
一般现在时(Unit 2)现在进行时(本单元)
含义习惯、事实、经常做此刻正在做
标志词always/often/every daylook!/listen!/now!
结构动词原形 / 三单 -sbe + doing
例子He plays football every Saturday.Look! He is playing football now.
易混陷阱

① 看到 look/listen/now 就用进行时:Look! The elephant is drinking。看到 every day/often 就用一般现在时。

② 感觉动词一般不用进行时:like/love/know/want 通常用一般现在时(I like pandas,不说 I'm liking)。这一点 KET 也考。

功能句型 · 描述正在发生的动作

Describing What's Happening
"看图说话/描述照片"是 Flyers 口语 Part 3 和写作 Part 6 的核心任务,也是 KET 现在进行时的常见题型。三套模板 + 考场对话。

三套句型模板

问图里在做什么
What's the elephant doing?
It's drinking water.
大象在做什么?/它正在喝水。
考点:What's...doing? → be + doing——Flyers 看图说话问答标准句。
描述多人同时动作
The monkeys are jumping, and the pandas are eating bamboo.
One boy is taking photos.
猴子们正在跳,熊猫们正在吃竹子。/一个男孩正在拍照。
考点:and 连接两个同时进行的动作;one... 指具体一个——把一张图说满的关键。
问答练习
Where are they? → They're at the zoo.
What are they doing? → They're watching the monkeys.
Is the tiger sleeping? → Yes, it is. / No, it isn't.
他们在哪?→ 他们在动物园。/他们在做什么?→ 他们在看猴子。/老虎在睡觉吗?→ 是的/没有。
考点:Where...? / What...doing? / Is...?——Flyers 口语 Part 3 三大必问题。

场景对话 · 考场实战

Examiner: Look at the photo, Leo. Where are they?
Leo: They're at the zoo. The sun is shining and the birds are singing.
Examiner: What's the elephant doing?
Leo: It's walking near the river. It's drinking water with its long nose.
Examiner: What about the monkeys?
Leo: The monkeys are jumping between the trees. One little monkey is climbing a rope, and its mother is watching it.
Examiner: Is the tiger sleeping?
Leo: Yes, it is. It's sleeping under a big tree, but its babies aren't sleeping — they're playing with a ball.
考官:Leo,看这张照片。他们在哪?/Leo:他们在动物园。阳光正照耀,鸟正在唱歌。/考官:大象在做什么?/Leo:它正在河边走。它正用长鼻子喝水。/考官:猴子们呢?/Leo:猴子们正在树之间跳。一只小猴子正爬绳子,它妈妈正看着它。/考官:老虎在睡觉吗?/Leo:是的。它正睡在一棵大树下,但它的宝宝们没睡——它们正在玩球。
得分点:① Where...? / What's...doing? / Is...? 三问三答全踩点;② be + doing 一个不漏;③ isn't sleeping / aren't sleeping 否定式也用对了;④ its mother(它的妈妈)物主代词没写成 it's。

自评:错 2 题以上,回第 2、3 章重读词族和现在进行时表。

KET 衔接 · 同一话题的两级进阶

论Flyers 动物 → KET 现在进行时,难度怎么长

词汇升级:Flyers 认识 elephant/monkey/river;KET 要会拼写 + 会回(endanger)、protect、wild、forest 等环境类词汇。

句子变长:Flyers 三句话公式(地点+动作+细节);KET 要加 while 同时进行(While I was reading, he was calling)、加原因和对比。

语法加码:Flyers 只考现在进行时肯定/否定;KET 加现在进行时与一般现在时辨析、过去进行时预告。

现在就做:翻开家里任意一张照片,用现在进行时说 5 句"照片里每个人在做什么"——说顺了,KET 的看图说话你就有底子了。
