高中英语必修一unit3课件 高中英语必修一unit3课件 高中英语必修一unit3课件1 一、设计思路 高中英语课程的总目标是使学生在义务教育阶段英语学习基础上，进一步明确英语学习目的，发展自主学习和合作学习的能力；形成有效的英语学习策略，培养学生的综合语言运用能力，使他们在学习过程中，促进心智、情感态度，学习策略，文化意识的发展，形成正确的人生观和价值观，提高人文素养。 该课程标准强调“使语言学习的过程成为学生形成积极地情感态度、主动思维和大胆实践的过程。”英语教学是一种教与学的双边活动，教学的实质是交际。从这个意义出发，阅读不应是传统意义上的接受性技能（receptive skill）,而是一个积极主动的思考理解及获取信息的过程，同时也是作者与阅读者双方参与的言语交际、思想交流的过程。信息时代的到来需要人们进行广泛而有效的阅读，因而对阅读技巧的培养也提出了更高的要求。
因此，我结合新课标和学生的实际，以任务型教学模式贯穿始终，引导学生自主或者合作完成。阅读活动由整体入手，由易到难，层层深入。教学过程中，发挥网络在教学中的优势，图文并茂让学生对主题信息有一个直观的了解。整个教学活动以教材为载体，以学生为中心，学生参与活动。 二、教学内容分析 （一）教材分析 1、这节课使用的教材是人教版高中英语必修1，这套教材是在任务型语言教学理念的基础上编写的，它以话题为主线，贴近学生生活，贴近真实的教学行为，它的语言教学理念是强调语言的运用，促进学生自主学习，发展学习的策略，培养创新精神突出实践能力。 2.第3单元的中心话题是“旅游”，是一个时尚和热门的话题，不同地区的文化氛围、风土人情和地理特征都能引起学生浓厚的兴趣，激发他们的求知欲。本节课是这个单元的阅读部分，是王坤写的一篇日记，讲述了她和姐姐想骑山地车旅行，选定了湄公河作为旅游路线，文章具体谈到了他们为这次旅游做的各项准备工作。通过阅读，教师不仅要让学生学到一些有用的单词和词组，训练他们的阅读技能，还要让学生了解和学习有关旅行的知识，例如选择自己感兴趣的旅行地点，确

英语课文翻译 【必修一】 Unit 1 P2 安妮最好的朋友 你是不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢?或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你，会不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮?弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友，于是她就把日记当成了她最好的朋友。 安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是犹太人，所以他们不得不躲藏起来，否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了两年之后才被发现。在这段时间里，她唯一的忠实朋友就是她的日记了。她说，“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。我要把这本日记当作我的朋友，我要把我这个朋友称作基蒂”。安妮自从1942年7月起就躲藏在那儿了，现在，来看看她的心情吧。 亲爱的基蒂： 我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故，我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。我记得非常清楚，以前，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。自从我来到这里，这一切都变了。 ……比方说，有天晚上天气很暖和，我熬到11点半故意不睡觉，为的是独自好好看看月亮。但是因为月光太亮了，我不敢打开窗户。还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧在楼上，窗户是开着的。我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。漆黑的夜晚，风吹雨打，雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚…… ……令人伤心的是……我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然，窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗前，但观看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。
Unit 2 P9 通向现代英语之路 16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语，几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。后来，在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区。于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。 以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。请看以下例子：英国人贝蒂：“请到我的公寓（flat）里来看看，好吗？” 美国人艾米：“好的。我很乐意到你的公寓（apartment）去。” 那么，英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢？事实上，当不同文化互相交流渗透时，所有的语言都会有所发展，有所变化。首先，在公元450年到1150年间，人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础的，而现代英语不是。然后，渐渐地，大约在公元800年到1150年期间，英语不那么像德语了。因为那时的英国的统治者起初讲丹麦语后来讲法语。这些新的定居者大大丰富了英语语言，特别是在词汇方面。所以到17世纪，莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。在1620年，一些英国人搬迁到美洲定居。后来，到了19世纪，有些英国人也被送往澳大利亚，两个国家的人都开始说英语了。 最后，到20世纪，英语才真正定形。那时，英语在拼写上发生了两大变化：首先，塞缪尔·约翰逊编写了词典，后来，诺厄·韦伯斯特编纂了《美国英语词典》，后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。 现在，英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言来说。比如说，印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人，这是因为英国于1765年到1947年统治过印度。在那期间，英语成了官方语言和教育用语。在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲其它国家，比如南非，人们也说英语。目前在中国学习英语的人数正在迅速增长。事实上，中国可能拥有世界上最多的英语学习者。中国英语会发展出自己的特色吗？这
