典例剖析

【例1】 (2004年全国卷Ⅰ,32)You can take anything from the shelf and read,but please______the books when you’ve finished with them.

A.put on B.put down C.put back D.put off

答案:C

【例2】 (2004年辽宁,26)Before the war broke out,many people______in safe places possessions they couldn’t take with them.

Step VI Homework

篇3:高二英语人教版 unit 11 Scientific Achievements

由于高中英语教学长期存在课时紧、教学任务重的情况, 在一个模块或单元结束时, 许多教师常忽视复习本模块或单元教学内容的环节。而学生也同样苦恼, 不少学生反映:学完一单元后, 感觉没有多大的收获。笔者认为, 导致这些问题的根本原因在于教师没有组织学生进行科学、有效的复习。

科学、有效的复习是知识向能力过渡的桥梁, 是启迪思考和开发智力的良机, 是提炼、升华教学内容, 帮助学生建构知识网络和提高学习兴趣的有效途径。就高中英语教学而言, 上好单元复习课, 对于学生巩固所学知识、提高语言能力有着事半功倍的作用。此外, 教师在上复习课时还能弥补之前教学中的欠缺, 提高教学质量 (马智慧、刘欢2011) 。

二、案例评析及思考

(一) 教材分析

通过人教版高中英语模块6 Unit 1 Art的复习, 学生可掌握有关绘画艺术的相关词汇、句型和知识。围绕“绘画艺术”这个主题, 他们可了解西方绘画艺术的历史、中西方各种艺术形式与风格、各个历史时期的著名画家及其作品的不同风格, 培养学生对艺术的兴趣。

(二) 教学目标和任务

核心任务:学习写建议信, 掌握如何与收信一方交流自己对某一问题的看法, 并提出自己合理化的建议, 从而使对方参考或接受自己的想法或主张, 以达到解决问题的目的。

知识与技能目标:掌握有关绘画艺术的相关词汇、句型和知识;学习虚拟语气 (和现在、将来事实相反) 的用法;训练听力、阅读、写作技能。

情感、态度与价值观:培养学生对绘画艺术的兴趣。

(三) 教学片段

1. 回归内容

Scene 1:Lead in and show the task.To activate Ss and arouse them to talk about art.

(1) Pair work

Show the picture, Mona Lisa smile (见图1) .Ask Ss three questions.And see how much they know about the famous picture.

(1) Who is the woman in the picture?Mona Lisa.

(2) Who painted the picture?Leonardo da Vinci (1452~1519) .

(3) How long did it take him to paint it?Four years (1503~1506) .

(2) Individual work

To practice time expressions.

Use time expressions to complete the text below.

Suggested Answers:

In the 5th century, until the 15th century, Renaissance, In the Middle Ages, 1428, from the 15th to the 16th century, In the late 19th century, Nowadays, in the future

(3) Group work

Fill in the blanks:

设计意图:通过欣赏图片引出话题;通过填空的方式复习本单元的重点词汇, 检查学生对相关词汇和知识的掌握情况, 了解学情。在学生完成活动的过程中, 教师不仅了解了学生的知识储备现状, 还能发现学生知识和技能方面的问题, 进一步明确了随后需要复习内容的重难点。

2. 突破难点

Scene 2:Practice

(1) 重点词汇和短语

realistic, abstract, religion, religious, sculpture, gallery, belief, consequent, consequently, aim, symbol, value, focus, possession, convince, impressionism, impressionist, shadow, ridiculous, nowadays, attempt, predict, the Renaissance, focus on, a great deal

(2) 重点句式

As there are so many...it would be impossible to...

If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint...

根据提示将下列句子翻译成英语。

(1) 我试图使他相信那个人不是个好人, 可他不在乎。 (convince)

(2) 在过去几个月里, 我们的医疗队取得了很大成功。 (a great deal)

(3) 那个男孩想熬夜看世界杯但被他的父母阻止了。 (attempt)

(4) 要是她会唱歌, 我就邀请她参加晚会了。 (if)

设计意图:外语学习的遗忘率通常较高, 在词汇学习方面尤为明显。学生学习词汇的最大障碍是如何实现词汇的高频再现, 从而加深理解、记忆, 以及如何完成词汇学习在课外的有效延伸。“突破难点”的活动就是要解决这个问题。为了帮助学生复习、巩固重点词汇和句型, 笔者设计的活动主要有翻译、填词、同义句转换等。

3. 弥补缺漏

Scene 3:同义句转换

例如:

(1) These years, Europe has changed a lot.

设计意图:弥补英语知识缺漏。教师要针对学生未掌握的内容进行矫正性学习, 弥补知识缺漏, 复习巩固尚未掌握的内容。教学内容的选择要考虑知识的深度与广度, 使其符合学生的需求, 使其适合所授班级的学生, 真正为学生创造学习的空间和机会, 让学生能够自主参与学习过程, 激发学生的学习潜能, 提高教学效率。

4. 语言运用

Scene 4:Group work

Please make up a small conversation between you and your partner.

(1) If you could have three of these paintings on the wall of your classroom, which would you choose?Discuss your reasons.These words might help you in your discussion:

(2) Would you rather have Chinese or Westernstyle paintings in your home?Give your reasons.

Scene 5:Writing

To learn to write letters for making suggestions.

英文建议信的写法:

建议信中应该包括建议的原因、理由和提出合理的建议。建议信的写作要简明扼要, 目的明确。

建议信的开头常用句式:

I am writing to express my view concerning...

You have asked me for my advice with regard to...and I will try to make some conductive suggestions.

表达建议常用句式:

I feel that it would be beneficial if...

I would recommend that...

As you may agree that...

建议信的结尾常用句式:

I would be ready to discuss this matter in further detail.

设计意图:复习教学中如何在“用”上下工夫, 提高复习教学的有效性, 教师要关注语言知识的运用, 凸显一个“用”字, 让学生实现知识向能力的有效转化。

结束语

本案例中的回归内容、突破难点、弥补缺漏、综合运用四个环节始终与“用”紧密相连, 分别体现在:学生在欣赏图片中走进话题, 教师在语言的运用中了解学生的原有知识的状况;师生在真实的语境中, 运用语言突破难点和重点, 消除盲点;学生在阅读中运用语言实现反馈和检测, 达到巩固语言和内化语言的目的;学生在运用语言中分析观察各种语言现象, 总结归纳语言学习的规律;学生运用语言解决日常生活中的实际问题。总之, “用”是复习的起点, 也是复习的终点。复习课中, 教师要在“用”上下工夫。

四、单元话题阅读

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years, just like the booming hi?鄄tech industry. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i. e. to transplant a chip into human brain. This may make everyone’s dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the applicable capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.

Experiments have started on animals. In 2003, a transplanted experiment performed in the US turned a bear into a dolphin.

The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology available deep and detailed images were made of the memory area in Ted’s brain containing information about swimming by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nervous system. Such information was saved into a button?鄄sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin’s brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.

Recently, another comprehensive(复杂的) memory transplanted was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The memory transplanted in the experiment included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was what the largest such experiment done so far.

The transplant was performed making a transfer from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

1. The purpose of the experiment is_______.

A. to combine the computer and the human brain

B. to make bear swim

C. to make some stupid dog turn clever

D. to enlarge the applicable capacity ofhuman brain

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Farmers could grow more rice and shaky Internet communications could work better some day, thanks to prize-winning discoveries by teenage scientists showed at a national science fair on Monday.

High-school scientists from across the United States showed off word in genetics (遗传学), molecular biology, mathematics and other fields that judges said rose to the professional level.

“It just blows me away. They’re all just unimaginable, ”said Joel Spencer, a New York University professor who served as a judge at the Siemens Westinghouse Competition in Math, Science and Technology.

Research done by finalists in the nationwide competition could lead to faster Internet speeds, more effective antibacterial drugs and better energy conservation. One team researched black holes in outer space, while another examined more than 700 fossils to better understand why dinosaurs died out.

Juliet Girard and Roshan Prabhu won a $ 100, 000 scholarship for their work proving genes(基因) that help some strains of wild rice flower earlier than others.

Drawing on a database(数据库) that described the genetic makeup of rice, the two students, from Jersey City, New Jersey, identified two genetic segments (sections) that directed wild rice to blossom an average of 10 days earlier than the ordinary short-grain rice that feeds much of the world.

Their discovery could allow genetic engineers to develop a new strain that would take less time to reach maturity, allowing farmers to produce more and extending the growing region into colder climates.

Steven Bymes of Lexington, Massachusetts, took the top individual prize for his theory describing outcomes in a two-player game called Chomp.

Several said they planned to publish their findings in famous professional magazines.

1.What made the university professors surprised was that .

A.high-school students did very well in all scientific fields

B.they had never thought of these things when they were young

C.the work of the high-school students was of high quality and reached the professional level

D.high-school students have found out why dinosaurs died out

2.Which of the following is true?

A.Two students discovered the way of growing more rice and growing rice in colder climates.

B.What the two students discovered about the genetic makeup of rice may lead to an important development in agriculture.

C.Steven Bymes took the top prize at the national science fair on Monday.

D.Several students planned to write more articles in some professional journals.

3.What is this report mainly about?

A.Farmers can grow more rice and shaky Internet communications can work better after the competitions are held.

B.Some high-school students have become professional scientists.

C.High-school students can make great contributions to the world in many fields just like adult scientists.

D. A national science fair made scientists greatly surprised.

Scientists have uncovered the exact difference between man and mouse.

Teams of scientists from around the world will publish today the draft(草图)genome(基因组)of the mouse, which enables them for the first time to compare another mammal’s entire DNA directly with that of humans.

The similarities are far greater than the differences- man and mouse share a common ancestor that lived more than 70 million years ago-which has allowed scientists to find treatments for a good many human diseases.

British members of the project say the draft mouse genome, published in the journal Nature, has provided the “phrase book” for scientists to translate the language of the human genome.

“The entire biomedical research community can for the first time fully use this resource to deal with human diseases. They will now have powerful tools that will serve them for many years to come, ” said Dr Jane Rogers, head of sequencing at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, which did 20 percent of the work.

Comparisons show almost every gene in the mouse has a corresponding (对应的)gene in humans 99 percent similarity that should help to find how each human gene works. Already the work has been able to show that man and mouse each have about 30, 000 genes yet only 300 or so are unique to either species, increasing the value of the lab mouse as a “model” for human genetics.

This is an extraordinary milestone. For the first time we have an opportunity to see ourselves in an evolutionary(进化的)mirror. The mouse genome stands for a very important chapter in the lab notebook of evolution By taking away genes to create sick mice, scientists have been able to reproduce a number of human disorders. Knowing the entire genomes of humans and mice will enable them to employ the technique more widely, leading to a rapid development in the understanding of illnesses.

4.Scientists have found that .

A.men and mice are actually the same kind of animal

B.mice are actually the ancestors of human beings

C.the genome of the mouse is the same as that of humans

D.humans and mice most probably have developed from the same ancestor
