We humans are actually the most dangerous creatures of all! 這個生物每年殺死了數以百萬計的動物,不只是為了覓食或自我保護,也為了獲取利益。這個生物每年也殺害數以千計的同類,即使這樣的殺戮並非生存所需。我們現在說的是熊、鯊魚還是河馬嗎?不是!這個答案可能會太驚人而難以置信。事實上,我們人類正是所有生物中最危險的!

One scientist says [that half of the animal species5 living in the world today will die out within a hundred years, and the main6 cause will be human activities]. Some animals, like minksž, are killed for their furž in order to make expensive clothes. Other animals, like bears, may also be hunted for their body parts, because they can be used in traditional Chinese medicine. Many other animals are close to extinction7 as well, because humans have destroyed8 the forests9 where they live. 一位科學家說,半數存活於目前世界上的動物物種將會在一百年內滅絕,而主要導因就是人類活動。有些動物,例如貂,被殺害是為了取得牠們的毛皮來製作昂貴的服飾。其他動物,像是熊,也可能因為牠們的身體部位而遭獵殺,因為這些部位可用來製作傳統中藥。許多其他動物也瀕臨絕種,因為人類已經摧毀牠們所棲息的森林。
6 One scientist says that half of the animal species living in the world today will die out....

Focal Point 2
It is important/necessary/essential that S + (should) + VR.
教學建議
本句型是用一些形容詞(如important, vital, essential, necessary, significant等)來強調that子句中所提到的事件或行為是重要的或必要的,同時that子句中的動詞用 (should) + VR形式,期許聽者能照指示行事。
教學步驟建議:
(1)       It is + Adj + (for sb.) to-VR/that + S + V.
(2)       It is + Adj + that + S + (should) + VR.
(3)       S + insist/suggest... that + S + (should) + VR. 可依教學需要補充。

(1) 複習句型:
It is + possible/necessary/convenient/important/difficult/easy... + for sb. + to VR...
說明:It是虛主詞,to-VR為真正主詞。
It is necessary for students to study hard.
It is difficult for us to learn English well in a short time.
It is convenient for us to get in touch with friends by cellphone.
It is easy for us to buy expensive things using a credit card.

(2) 複習句型:無助動詞should
It is + possible/convenient/right/easy/difficult/true... + that + S + V...
說明:
It是虛主詞,that子句為真正主詞。
本句型用來說明「事實」。
It is useless that we keep thinking about past failures.
It is pitiful that you didn’t win the scholarship.
It is true that Tim is young, but he is very experienced in this field.
It is evident that money is important, but it is not everything.

(3) 課文句型:助動詞should省略
It is + important/necessary/essential/vital + that S (should) VR...
說明:
It是虛主詞;that子句為真正主詞。
本句型形容詞表「需要、緊急、重要」,that子句則表「某人應該……」。
that子句中的should在美式英語省略,僅使用原形動詞。
It is important that you have a definite goal in life.
It is necessary that students pay attention to their teachers in class.
It is essential that all drivers follow traffic rules.
It is vital that you not carry too much cash when traveling abroad.

(4) 補充句型:其他should省略句型
S1 + ask/command/insist/move/order/suggest...+ that S2 + (should) + VR
說明:
本句型動詞表示「命令、要求、建議、規定」等意思,動詞後所接的that不可省略。
that子句中的should在美式英語省略,僅使用原形動詞。
Father asked that I tell the truth.
The doctor insisted that I quit smoking.
We moved that the meeting be put off.
The boss ordered that the workers come to work on time.
The doctor suggested that I lose weight.

(5) 補充句型:
... lest + S + (should) + VR
... for fear that + S + should/might/may + VR
說明:
此兩個句型意為「以免……」。
for fear that子句中,助動詞可用should/might/may
I got up early lest I (should) miss the school bus.
We talked in a low voice lest we (should) wake up the baby.

當我們談論到危險動物時,多數人都會想到獅子或老虎。事實上,有一種生物更加危險:人類。每年,數以百萬計的動物因人類活動而死亡。人類殺害這些生物,並不僅是為了飽食或維護自身安全,也是為了從中獲利。以貂為例,獵人為了牠們的毛皮而獵殺貂,並拿牠們的毛皮來製作昂貴的服飾。熊也是獵人獵殺的對象,因為牠們的身體部位被用於製作傳統中藥。今日,由於人類的自私,許多動物面臨絕種。該是人們停止濫殺並開始尊重地球上其他生物的時候了。
