Section ⅠPrereading (Warming Up & Reading)课前预习自测约翰·斯诺战胜“霍乱王”约翰·斯诺是伦敦一位著名的医生——他的确医术精湛,因而成为照料维多利亚女王的私人医生。
但他一想到要帮助那些得了霍乱的普通百姓时,他就感到很振奋。
霍乱在当时是最致命的疾病,人们既不知道它的病源,也不了解它的治疗方法。
每次暴发霍乱时,就有大批惊恐的老百姓病死。
约翰·斯诺想面对这个挑战,解决这个问题。
他知道,在找到病源之前,霍乱疫情是无法控制的。
斯诺对霍乱致人死地的两种推测都很感兴趣。
一种看法是霍乱病毒在空气中繁殖着,像一股危险的气体到处漂浮,直到找到病毒的受害者为止。
第二种看法是人们在吃饭的时候把这种病毒引入体内的。
病从胃里发作而迅速殃及全身,患者就会很快地死去。
斯诺推测第二种说法是正确的,但是他需要证据。
因此,在1854年伦敦再次暴发霍乱的时候,约翰·斯诺着手准备对此进行调研。
当霍乱在贫民区迅速蔓延的时候,约翰·斯洛就开始收集资料。
他发现特别在两条街道上霍乱流行得很严重,在10天之内就死去了500多人。
他决心要查明其原因。
首先,他在一X地图上标明了所有死者住过的地方。
这提供了一条说明霍乱起因的很有价值的线索。
许多死者是住在宽街的水泵附近(特别是这条街上16、37、38、40号)。
他发现有些住宅(如宽街上20号和21号以及剑桥街上的8号和9号)却无人死亡。
他以前没预料到这种情况,所有他决定深入调查。
他发现,这些人都在剑桥街7号的酒馆里打工,而酒馆为他们免费提供啤酒喝,因此他们没有喝从宽街水泵抽上来的水。
看来水是罪魁祸首。
接下来,约翰·斯诺调查了这两条街的水源情况。
他发现,水是从河里来的,而河水被伦敦排出的脏水污染了。
他马上叫宽街上惊慌失措的老百姓拆掉水泵的把手。
这样,水泵就用不成了。
不久,疫情就开始得到缓解。

The reports of many doctors ____illness ___ drinking polluted water. However, one hundred years ago people did not _____a disease ___ the environment. So they did not _____ the companies that supplied dirty water. The doctors found that the dirtier the water, the more ______ the illness. It was only later when people began to ________ the water and ____ its quality that they _______ the idea that cholera was_________ from the air. It was only when everybody began to attack the dirty conditions that cholera was________ and was not a problem any more.2.Discovering useful structures.1).

Do the listening task on P44.2.Writing: What I would like to be in the future.Period 4 Reading, writing and learning tipsTeaching goals:1.To learn about Copernicus’ revolutionary theory.2.To learn to write a persuasive essay and improve their integrating skills .Teaching procedures:Step one Pre-readingWe know the first scientist is Copernicus. He was one of the first scientists to use mathematical observations to collect information. He believed the sun is the center of the universe and the earth and other planets went around it. The chart on P.7 shows his theory.Let’s enjoy a video of Copernicus’ Revolutionary Theory.Step two While-reading1 Skimming:Read through the passage fast and try to get the main idea of the passage.2. Scanning:Scan the passage and find the experiences of CopernicusBirth: February 19, 1473Death: May 24, 1543Place of Birth: Toruń, PolandCareer:1491-1494 Studied mathematics at Kraków Academy1496 Went to Italy to study astronomy and law at the University of Bologna1497 Began observations of the Sun, Moon, and planets1514Wrote Commentariolus, an outline of his astronomical ideas, but did not circulate it widely1543Published De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial)●Read through the passage again, and tell whether the following statements are true or false.1. At Copernicus’ time, Christian Church was in charge of many western countries.2. Copernicus noticed that observed from the earth, some planets appears in front of or behind the earth.3. Copernicus didn’t show his new theory to his friends until he completed it.4. His friends were not interested in his ideas.5. Since he was not afraid of being attacked by the Church, Copernicus published his book as soon as hefinished working on it.6. Newton, Einstein, and Hawking are all scientists who made contribution to the study of the universe.Step three Explain some language points1. Fill in the blankets with proper words.1) Mao Zedong is the great leader of the Chinese R_________.2) The Invention of the computer caused a r________ in our way of living.3) Sun Zhongsan is a great r___________ leader.4) Yuan Longping created a r___________ new way of growing rice.2. lead to: to result in 导致Your carelessness will lead to the trouble in the future.3. make sense1) to have a clear meaningNo matter how I tried to read it, the sentence didn't make sense.2) to be wise course of actionIt makes sense to take care of your health.4. spin--- spun(span)--- spinninge.g. We span the coin to see who would have first turn.I spun around to see who had spoken.5. If you don’t like Tom, you may r_____ his gift.If you don’t think the suggestion is suitable for you, you may r____ it.6. enthusiastic: be interested inShe’s very ______________________ singing.We explain our plan, and he is very___________.enthusiastic enthusiasm enthusiasticallyShe shows boundless __________ for the work.She greeted him _____________ with a kiss.She is very __________ about Eastern music.7. cautious-- cautiously :careful to avoid riskbe cautious about/of sb./sth.e.g. The bank is very cautious about lending money.My father is a very cautious driver.The guard warned me to be cautious about strangers.Step four DiscussionIf you were Nicolaus Copernicus, would you have hidden your theory for so many years? Give a reason. (Suggested answer:As a scientist, Copernicus was more cautious than coward. If he had published his ideas at his time, he would have been killed just as Bruno who was burnt to death because his theory was against the Christian Church’s. Every time when a new idea appears, there are always rejections. It’s normal. Scientists should have patience to spread their truth..)Step five Writing1. Now write a short letter asking Copernicus to publish his ideas so everyone can read them.2. Learning tips.This article is a persuasive writing, which is about changing somebody else’s point of view. When you are doing this kind of writing, you must always have some evidence to support your idea. To make this easier, you can hold discussions with your family and friends. Give your ideas and reasons to them whenever you are making choices. You may argue with them and try to persuade them. Then you will find it easier to do your persuade writing.However, when you are writing, do not forget to plan your work and put your ideas in a logical order.Now please discuss in a group of four and decide how to write this letter. Try to collect your ideas and make a plan. You can read the tips given to you in Ex.3 on page 7.Here is a plan:Beginning: Tell Copernicus who you are and why you want him to publish his ideas.Paragraph 1: Reason 1 and evidence.Paragraph 2: Reason 2 and evidence.Summing up: Ask him to think again about publishing his ideas.3. Sample writingDear Nicolaus Copernicus,I am a student studying astronomy and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons.I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you would expect if the earth was the centre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need a new theory.I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs.

schooling.however,the family belonged to a religious group,and faraday learnt to read and write at sunday school.when he was only fourteen,faraday found a job as a bookbinder (装订工).he used to read the books he was given to bind and he became very interested in the scientific books,particularly the ones about electricity.his interest soon took a practical path and he began conducting his own experiments.these were very basic because faraday had to make all of his equipment himself.however,he was very careful and kept a clear written record of all his findings.one day he was given an entrance ticket to the royal institute chemistry lecture,given by humphry davy.determined to work for this great scientist,he sent davy a job application and included his laboratory reports on the experiments he had carried out.in 1813,davy offered faraday a job as one of his laboratory assistants.faraday learnt quickly and soon was recognized as a very able analytical ter he went to work at the royal institute.michael faraday was, perhaps,the greatest practical scientist of the 19th century.as a chemist,he discovered the benzene (苯),which is now the focal point of chemical study.he also proved the relationship between electricity and chemical bonding (化学键).as a physicist,he invented the dynamo,which led to the later invention of the electric motor.he also discovered the effect of magnetism (磁) on light rays.1.why did faraday attend sunday school?a.he had to work for a bookbinder at weekdays.b.he hoped to read many of the scientific books there.c.he would like to learn

about 4,000 kids between the ages of 12 and 17 start smoking. most junior school students don’t smoke-only about 1 in 10 does. most se nior school students don’t smoke either -about 1 in 4 does.but why do those who smoke ever begin? there’s more than just one simple answer. some kids may startsmoking just because they’re curious. others may like the idea of doing something that grown-ups don’t want them to do. still others might think smoking is a way to act or smoking makes them look like an adult.luckily, fewer people are starting to smoke than a few years ago. maybe that’s because more and more people have learned that smoking can cause cancer and heart disease.sometimes kids don’t worry about what future illness they might get.nicotine and other poisonous chemicals in tobacco cause lots of diseases, like heart problems and some kinds of cancer. if kids smoke, it will hurt their lungs and hearts each time they light up. it can also make it more difficult for blood to flow in the body, so smokers may feel tired. the longer they smoke, the worse the damage becomes.the human body is smart, and it knows when it’s being poisoned. when kids try smoking for the first time, they often cough a lot and feel pain or burnt in their throats and lungs. this is their lungs’ way of trying to protect them. also, many kids say that they feel sick to their stomachs orsection Ⅲ learning

Unit1 Great Scientists 一、教材分析: 高二第一单元的中心话题是“科学家”,具体涉及科学家的名言、轶事、科学家的成功之道及如何向科学家学习等。语言技能和语言知识几乎都围绕介绍“科学家”这一中心话题设计的。我上的这节课是本单元的第二节阅读训练课,包括读前、阅读和读后三部分。读前部分要求学生带着问题阅读文章,以求得学生对部分细节的理解。找到文章中的有关章节并不难,难点在于要求学生用自己的语言概括出来。阅读部分的文章介绍了著名物理学家Stephen Hawking 的生平,他的系列探索发现和他对科学研究的态度、观点。 StephenHawking在物理界享有至高的荣誉和威信,是深受许多科学家和广大物理迷尊重和崇拜的学者。他不为病魔和瘫痪所吓倒,而以惊人的毅力和信心成为物理界探索宇宙的先锋,并界乐观地面对生活。读后部分设计了三组习题。第一组习题的三个问题考查学生对文章内容的记忆程度;第二组的三个问题让学生反馈对的了解;第三组习题让学生以两两对话形式讨论如何运用科学方法解决问题,培养学生的想象力与创造力。这一节课的重点在于文章的阅读,读前起到导入作用而读后则是对学生所学知识的复习与巩固。 二、教学目标(知识目标、能力目标、情感目标): 知识目标: 1学习掌握有关人物的介绍性文章的阅读方法和技巧; 2在认知理解课文的基础上,掌握运用文章中所出现的常用的句型和短语、词语等。 能力目标: 1发展学生听、说、读、写的基本技能,提高阅读技巧,培养综合运用语言的能力; 2培养学生能利用上下文来猜测词义和能欣赏文章的写作技巧的能力 3能根据所读材料运用适当的语言进行简短的交流。 情感目标: 通过本文向学生展示伟大科学家的科学精神和人生观,使学生形成积极的情感态度,从而能在生活中勇敢面对任何挫折,不被困难打倒,在学习和工作中能主动探索积极进取。 三、教学重点、难点: 1了解人物简介的文体特点,并以此指导阅读; 2训练skimming, scanning, careful reading等阅读技能; 3对文章深层次的理解及细节的欣赏及对人物的评价 四、学情分析: 高二的学生经过一年的学习,在知识和能力方面的有所提高,所以英语教学不能简单地定位于让学生记住生词或者短语、句型,而要引导学生在阅读的过程中学会分析和欣赏。但同时对于大部分学生来说,英语还是相当难的一个学科,所以在教学过程中,注意提高课堂的趣味性,激发学生的兴趣也极其重要。并且,本单元山学生在新学期的第一课,学生门对新的学期充满信心,通过对Stephen Hawking 的学习,了解也能进一步促进学生学习科学家的精神,更加努力奋斗,自强不息。 五、教学方法: 新课标要求课堂教学要尽可能把时间还给学生,所以在课堂教学中,教师的基本任务是“导”,既起到组织和引导作用。所以在授课中,我更注意采用多种方法启发、诱导学生积极主动地参与教学活动中。本课采用影象导入,利用多媒体播放一些学生熟悉的著名的科学家的资料,引出有关 Stephen Hawking 的话题,然后使用提问、启发、分析、归纳的方法,是学生掌握教材内容,培养学生阅读和分析的能力。在学生阅读过程中,我注意设置难度不同的各项任务,让学生在完成各项任务的同时,提高阅读能力,然后在学生掌握文章内容的基础上适当点拨文章中短语或者句式结构等。
Period 1 Warming up &Reading Teaching Aims: 1. Get to know some new words and expressions 2. Know some great scientists and their achievements. 3.Analyze the common qualities these scientists share and revise how to describe people’s characteristics. Difficult and Important Points: 1. Word study 2. Describe main contributions of the great scientists. 3. Make up a dialogue between two scientists about their inventions/discoveries and their plan for the future. Teaching Methods: 1.Analyzing 2.Individual & Pair work 3.Teams match Teaching Procedures: Step 1 Leading in Introduce some famous scientists and their achievements, and then do the quiz. 1. Can you remember them? (Stephen Hawking & Yuan Longping) Have a revision of the expressions: theory, black holes, super hybrid rice. 2. Play a guessing game. Show sentences one by one about scientists’ contributions, and let Ss guess who they are. Ss should compete to answer as soon as possible. Then share some famous sayings by the great scientists, to inspire Ss to learn from them. Each student represents his/her team and gains points for his/her team. Step 2 Warming up 1. Try this quiz and find out who knows the most. (Pair work to finish the Quiz Questions on P1.) Give Ss enough time to understand the questions in the quiz, and they are allowed to discuss with their partners. T walks around to give help. 2. Check the answers with the whole class. Then ask Ss about these scientists. If they don’t know, show the further introduction to these 10 scientists. 1).Archimedes (an ancient Greek mathematician & physicist) 2).Charles Darwin (British, author of The Origin of Species) 3).Thomas Newcomen (British, improved the first steam pump and turned it into a steam engine for taking water out of mines in 1712 .James Watt improved it and turned it into the first modern steam engine used on the railways. ) 4). Gregor Mendel (Czech) 5).Marie Curie (Polish and French, won two Nobel Prizes) 6).Thomas Edison (an American inventor) 7).Leonardo da Vinci (a famous Italian artist) 8).Sir Humphry Davy (British) 9).Zhang Heng (Chinese, invented seismograph) 10).Stephen Hawking (a British astronomer) Step 3 Brainstorming 1. Now that we’ve learned so many great scientists, let’s draw a conclusion about them. What common characteristics do they have? Attention: In this part, Ss may list many other adjectives which they have learned before to describe scientists. So the major job of T should be leading in these new expressions and make some connection between the old and the new, for example, bright can be equal to clever or wise, strict can be similar to serious, co-operative means work along well with others, enthusiastic means full of love for their jobs, and so on. So it is better for T to explain the new words in English-English way. But if the Ss are not so good at English, T can use some Chinese if necessary. enthusiasticco-operative positivebright common characteristicsstrictpersuasive cautious creative 2. Draw a conclusion about them in sentences: They all… Eg.made a great contribution made great achievements succeeded in their scientific career overcome many difficulties Step 4 Pair work Make up dialogues. It’s a pity that these great minds can’t get together. So now we’ll organize a party for them. Because of an advanced machine called Time Machine, all scientists from all different times can come to attend it. Now they’re talking to each other. Make up a dialogue between two scientists. They may talk about their achievements, their life and their plan for the future work. They may talk about these 1.I wonder if you’re… 2.I know you because I’ve heard that you… 3.Thank you for knowing so much about me. 4.I’m the one who… 5.I’m really interested in your invention. …… They may ask about these What’s your nationality? (I’m from…) What are you interested in? What conclusion have you drawn? What are you proud of? What leads to your success? (My cautiousness/ creativeness/ determination…leads to…) Step5 Summary Step6 Homework 1.Tellyour partner about the great scientists and their achievements. 2. Revise the new words and expressions learned in this lesson, and preview those of the reading text. Teachingreflection:
