YLE Movers 单元 4 · Animals & Nature

这个单元有 5 章:主题课文"Tom 在动物园"、词汇延展(动物词族 + 自然词族)、语法延展(现在进行时 be+doing + 比较级起步)、功能句型(描述动物与场景)、Movers 考点与自测。

学完你能:用 60+ 动物和自然词说清"谁在做什么";用现在进行时描述照片里正在发生的事;用 bigger/smaller/taller than 比较两个动物。

预计时间:1 周。

衔接说明:前三个单元学的都是"平时做什么"(一般现在时);本单元第一次学"正在做什么"(现在进行时)。Starters 只会说"The elephant is big",Movers 要能说"The elephant is drinking water. It's bigger than the monkey."

主题课文 · Tom 在动物园

Tom at the Zoo
原创课文,场景:9 岁男孩 Tom 周日和家人逛动物园。注意加粗的 is drinking、are playing、is climbing——这些都是"现在进行时",以及 bigger than、smaller than 比较级,第 3 章逐个拆。

课文 · A Day at the Zoo

Today is Sunday. My family and I are at the zoo. Look! The elephants are near the river. One big elephant is drinking water, and a baby elephant is playing with its mum. The elephants are bigger than the monkeys, of course! Over there, the monkeys are climbing the trees. They are very small, but they are very fast. My sister Lily is laughing — she loves the monkeys. Next, we go to the bird house. The birds are flying and singing. Some are blue, some are yellow. A parrot is sitting on a branch. It's smaller than the eagle, but it's louder! "What are you doing, Tom?" Mum asks. "I'm taking photos of the tiger!" I say. The tiger is sleeping under a big tree. It's not moving, but it looks strong. We are having a great day. I want to come back next Sunday!
今天是星期天。我和家人在动物园。看!大象在河边。一头大象正在喝水,一头小象正在和妈妈玩。大象当然比猴子大!那边,猴子正在爬树。它们很小,但动作很快。我妹妹 Lily 在笑——她超爱猴子。接着我们去鸟馆。鸟儿在飞、在唱歌。有的蓝,有的黄。一只鹦鹉正停在树枝上。它比鹰小,但叫声更响!"Tom,你在干嘛?"妈妈问。"我在给老虎拍照!"我说。老虎正在一棵大树下睡觉。它一动不动,但看起来很强壮。我们今天玩得超开心。我想下周日再来!
本课核心词:zoo, elephant, monkey, tiger, bird, parrot, eagle, river, tree, branch, drink, play, climb, fly, sing, sleep, take photos, bigger than, smaller than, fast, strong, loud

课文精讲 · 描述照片的两步

论Movers 版"看图说话公式"

第 1 步:谁在做什么。The elephant is drinking water. The monkeys are climbing the trees.(be + doing)

第 2 步:比一比。The elephant is bigger than the monkey. The parrot is smaller than the eagle.(比较级 + than)

考试怎么考:Movers 听力 Part 1 常给一张动物园照片,让你听描述连线;读写也有"看图写正在发生的事"。抓 be + doing 就能锁定答案。

记
这一章要记住的 5 个搭配

① be + doing 正在做(is drinking / are playing)

② bigger than 比…大(反义词 smaller than)

③ climb the tree 爬树

④ take photos 拍照

⑤ under a tree 在树下

02

词汇延展 · 动物词族 + 自然词族

Animal & Nature Words
动物词按"哺乳动物/鸟虫/自然景物/动作形容词"四组背。看图选词是 Movers 听力第一部分的主力题型——图上画着大象就选 elephant,画着在跑就选 running。

四组词族

(可参看「动物自然词汇」深化页)
动物与自然词族(Movers 高频)
组核心词搭配/备注
哺乳动物elephant, monkey, tiger, lion, panda, bear, giraffe, zebra, horse, dog, cat复数加 s(monkeys 特殊)
鸟与虫鱼bird, parrot, eagle, duck, fish, insect, butterfly, beefish 单复数同形
自然景物tree, flower, river, mountain, forest, sky, sun, moon, water, grasson the grass / in the river
动作与形容词drink, play, climb, fly, sing, sleep, run, swim, big, small, fast, slow, strong, loud-ing 形式表正在做
高频陷阱

① monkey→monkeys:元音 + y 结尾直接加 s(不是 monkeys 的另一种)。baby→babies 才变 y 为 i。

② fish 单复数同形:one fish / two fish(不是 fishes)。

③ in the tree vs on the tree:外来的(鸟、猫)在树上用 in the tree;长在树上的(苹果)用 on the tree。

④ loud vs loudly:Movers 只考形容词 loud(It's loud),不考副词。

03

语法延展 · 现在进行时 + 比较级起步

Present Continuous & Comparatives
"正在做什么"是 Movers 描述图片的核心语法;"A 比 B 怎样"是比较级的起步。这两个语法点到了 Flyers 会被加深,但骨架在 Movers 搭好。

现在进行时 be + doing

现在进行时构成
主语be 动词例子
IamI am taking photos.
He / She / It / The elephantisThe elephant is drinking.
We / You / They / The monkeysareThe monkeys are climbing.
否定be + not + doingThe tiger isn't sleeping.
疑问Be + 主语 + doing?Is the tiger sleeping?
最高频陷阱:现在分词 -ing

① 不能丢 be 动词:The elephant drinking ❌ → The elephant is drinking ✅。中国孩子最常漏 is/are。

② run→running(双写 n):辅音 + 元音 + 辅音结尾,双写尾字母加 ing。swim→swimming, sit→sitting。

③ make→making(去 e):不发音 e 结尾去 e 加 ing。take→taking, ride→riding。

比较级起步 · 形容词 + er than

规则比较级
原级比较级例子
smallsmallerThe parrot is smaller than the eagle.
bigbigger(双写 g)The elephant is bigger than the monkey.
fastfasterThe monkey is faster than the panda.
slowslowerThe turtle is slower than the rabbit.
talltallerThe giraffe is taller than the horse.
loudlouderThe parrot is louder than the sparrow.
比较级陷阱

① big→bigger(双写):重读闭音节双写尾字母。small→smaller 不双写(因为 l 前是元音 a,但 small 不是重读闭音节)。

② 比较级后面必须有 than:The elephant is bigger than the monkey,不能丢 than。

考试怎么考:"The tiger is ___ (big) than the cat." 填 bigger。

衔接 · 同一话题两级进阶

论Movers 动物 → Flyers 怎么长

词汇升级:Movers 认识 elephant/monkey/tiger;Flyers 要会 kangaroo/dolphin/whale/insect 等更具体的动物词。

语法加码:Movers 学规则比较级;Flyers 加不规则比较级(good-better, bad-worse)和最高级(the biggest)。

现在就做:把 be+doing 练到不丢 is/are,走到 Flyers 动物单元会更轻松。
