1.7 LISTENING 材料的话题衔接Reading, speaking and writing的话题，介绍了三个不同的机器人。1 听前预测。2 听大意。3 听细节完成表格。
1.8 TALKING根据假设情境在听力的基础上展开讨论，讨论每个机器人的优势和劣势，最终做出决定并给出理由，同时也是对前面所学的功能项目的复习应用。

II. 教材分析与教材重组
1. 教材分析
本单元以保护动物为话题，旨在通过本单元的学习使学生了解很多动物已经
灭绝或濒临灭绝，从而认识到保护动物的重要性和必要性；通过探讨保护动物的措施和建议，引导学生发表自己的见解和看法；通过进一步讨论提出有效的保护措施，唤起学生保护动植物、维护生态平衡、保护我们家园的责任感。并能写信表达自己保护动物的方法与建议，力求正确表达自己的意图并解释原因，并能正确使用被动语态的现在进行时。
1.1 Warming Up首先帮助学生明确保护野生动物的原因以及方向。旨在通过图片和表格引导学生讨论当今我国珍稀动物的现状。以panda、Milu Deer、South China Tiger 为例，通过对这些珍惜动物所面临的问题、在中国的栖息地以及采取措施其后对比所做的报告，学生能够用已有的知识和经验讨论在中国处于保护状态下的濒临灭绝动物。从而有效地引导学生关注本单元话题，关注动物生存现状。
1.2 Pre-reading是Reading的热身活动。通过回答两个问题引导学生讨论自己所知道的濒临灭绝的动物并思考灭亡的原因。同时要求学生通过阅读文中的图片和标题来猜测文章的内容。
1.3 Reading是一篇童话故事，讲述Daisy 乘坐飞毯跨越时空，在不同个国度、不同地区与生存状态不尽相同的和藏羚羊、大象、猴子对话的神奇经历，展示了Daisy逐渐认识保护动物重要性以及学习如何保护动物的经历。动物们讲述了各自的处境，唤起了Daisy对动物的热爱以及保护动物的责任心。从而号召人们热爱动物，保护动物，从我做起。
1.4 Comprehending考察学生对阅读内容的进一步理解与对所学知识的综合运用、迁移。练习1要求学生根据阅读文的内容回答问题。这四个问题设计到濒临物种生存现状，保护这些物种所取得成效的措施、保护动物栖息地的重要性以及决定保护成果能够的必要措施。练习2通过填空练习，学生分析课文结构，内容特点。为写作做好铺垫。练习3帮助学生综合运用、迁移所学知识。通过列举WWF所面临的一个棘手问题，要求学生小组讨论找出合理的解决方案。
1.5 Learning about Language分词汇和语法两部分。其中Discovering useful words and expressions是本单元单词的英文释义练习、在具体文章中的运用和相关词汇的分类与运用；Discovering useful structures 是以文章内容为载体的“被
动语态的现在进行时”的操练。由此可以看出本教材已明显地由以结构为特征的传统语法训练转变到以交际功能为特征的功能语法训练，充分体现了新教材话题、功能、结构相结合的特点。
1.6 Using Language是对所学知识的综合运用。
a. Reading and listening是课文的延伸，先读一段关于恐龙的说明文，简单介绍其种类及灭亡原因；然后听一段关于dodo的材料并根据所听材料做题，抓住细节且要顾及中心思想。
b. Speaking and writing 借dodo的故事引导学生选择他们知道的一种濒临灭绝的动物并分析这种结果的原因。在讨论的过程中练习打算，目的及意图的表达法。与其他小组交流自己所选的动物及拯救措施，选取较优的计划报告给全班同学。之后，根据讨论的内容，借助课本所提供的功能句式WWF写一封信，希望该组织能帮助学生实现这一保护措施。教材已为学生列出写作步骤，学生只需根据本单元内容组织语言，丰富内容。
总之，通过本单元的系统学习，让学生了解当今珍稀动物的境况，激发他们热爱自然，保护自然的热情；并能够丰富语言知识，提升用英语表达观点的能力。
2. 教材重组
2.1 从话题、内容和功能上分析Warming Up 与Workbook中的LISTENING & TALKING一致，旨在启发学生讨论、思考本单元话题，可以整和成一节任务型“听说课”。
2.2 可将Pre-reading、Reading、Comprehending三个活动整和成一节“阅读课”
2.3 将Using Language中的Reading与Workbook中的READING TASK 整和成一节“泛读课”
2.4 将Learning about Language与Workbook中的USING WORDS & EXPRESSIONS, USING STRUCTURES结合在一起, 上一节“语法课”。
2.5 将Using Language中就已经灭绝的物种dodo展开的听说写上一节“语言学习课”。
2.6 将Workbook中的LISTENING TASK、SPEAKING TASK和
WRITING TASK上一节“语言实践课”。

高一英语必修二课文翻译 Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band? Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someones house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may ptey to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires! However, there was one band that started in a different way. It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band. As some of these actors could not sing well enough，they had to rely on other musicians to help them. So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV，the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians. However。 after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work，the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records. The band broke up about 1970，but happily they reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996。 并非乐队的乐队
Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg .

However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.
