二课时
教学过程：
第一课时
一、导入新课：
昭君出塞、身死异国的悲剧是历代文人常常咏叹的题材。从西晋的石崇开始，到南北朝的鲍照、庾信，再到唐代的李白、杜甫、白居易，都写过咏昭君的诗，其中杜甫的《咏怀古迹（其三）》最为深刻感人，并被誉为咏昭君诗之绝唱。尽管柔柔弱弱的王昭君，没有叱咤风云，没有威风凛凛，然而诗歌那苍凉悲壮的意境，仍能使我们强烈地感受到那段凄婉哀怨的历史。今天，就让我们一起去追溯历史，走进杜甫的《咏怀古迹》，感受王昭君这一形象永恒的艺术魅力。
二、朗读及整体感知：
1、诗体：从标题我们应该猜得出来，《咏怀古迹》是一个系列，它一共五首七言律诗；
2、内容：每首各抒一人一事，分别缅怀庾信、宋玉、王昭君、刘备、诸葛亮；
3、主旨：这组诗与《秋兴八首》同作于大历元年的秋天，昨天我们已经讲到，这一年，安史之乱虽然已经结束，但国家仍然动荡不安，诗人依旧客居他乡。是借古迹古人抒发自己的心怀，在吟咏古迹，追思历史人物的同时，诗人抒发了自己一生漂泊，功业无成的感慨。
4、听示范朗诵，学生认真品味诗歌情感。
三、解析诗文：
首联：群山万壑赴荆门，生长明妃尚有村。（点明出生地：昭君村）
1．释“壑”“赴”“荆门”“尚”“明妃”。
“壑”：山谷，山沟。
“赴”：奔向，投向。
“荆门”：山名，位于湖北枝城市西北,东眺武汉,西临三峡,南望潇湘,北通川陕,素有“荆楚门户”之称。
“尚”：还有。
“明妃”：王昭君，西晋时因避晋文帝司马昭讳，改为明君、明妃。
2．赏析“赴”字之妙。
诗人由近及远，构想出群山万壑随着险急的江流，奔赴荆门山的雄奇壮丽的图景，这里则用一个“赴”字突出了三峡山势的雄奇生动。
3．明人胡震亨评注的《杜诗通》就说：“群山万壑赴荆门，当似生长英雄起句，此未为合作。”
（放在赏析全诗后再解决）大家认为如何？请依据下文并结合王昭君的生平，谈谈自己的看法。
清人吴瞻泰的《杜诗提要》则又是另一种看法。他说：“发端突兀，是七律中第一等起句，谓
山水逶迤，钟灵毓秀，始产一明妃。说得窈窕红颜，惊天动地。”意思是说，杜甫正是为了抬高昭君这个“窈窕红颜”，要把她写得“惊天动地”，所以才借高山大川的雄伟气象来烘托她。杨伦《杜诗镜铨》说：“从地灵说入，多少郑重。”亦与此意相接近。

普通高中课程标准实验教科书《英语》电子课本 Book 3 Unit 1 Festivals around the world B3U1P1-3 FESTIV ALS AND CELEBRATIONS Ancient Festivals Festivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere. The most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Other celebrations were held when hunters could catch animals. They would starve if food was difficult to find, so they celebrated when they had food. They lit fires and made music because they thought these festivals would bring a year of plenty. Festivals of the Dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead, or satisfy and please the ancestors, who could return either to help or to do harm. In Japan the festival is called Obon, when people should go to clean the graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico they have the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people might eat food in shape of skulls, and cakes with “bones” on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The festival of Halloween had its origin as an event in memory of the dead. It is now a children’s festival, when they can go to their neighbours’ homes and ask for sweets. They dress up and try to frighten people. If they are not given anything, the children might play a trick. Festivals to Honour People Festivals can be held as an honour to famous people or to the gods. One of these is the Dragon Boat Festival in China, which honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. Another is Columbus Day in the USA, in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America. In India there is a national festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain. Harvest Festivals Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter ,and because a season of agricultural work is over. In European countries it is the custom to decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and people get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their animals, flowers, fruits and vegetables, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. In China and Japan there are mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and give gift of mooncakes. Spring Festivals The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat, and may give children lucky money in the red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the lunar New Year together. In some Western countries there are very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. They might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival in Christian countries. It celebrates the return of Jesus for Christians and it also celebrates the coming of spring. In Japan, the Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country is covered with cherry tree flowers so that it looks as though it might be covered with pink snow. People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each others. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our daily life for a little while.

乱发生，因参加永王李璘幕府，被牵累，长流夜郎，途中遇赦。晚年漂泊东南一带，最后病殁当涂。李白性格豪迈，向往于建立功业，对唐玄宗后期权贵当国，政治腐化，深为不满。其诗多强烈抨击当时的黑暗政治，深切关怀时局安危，热爱祖国山川，同情下层人民，鄙夷世俗，蔑视权贵；但也往往流露出一些饮酒求仙、放纵享乐的消极思想。他善于从民间文学吸取营养，想象丰富奇特，风格雄健奔放，色调瑰玮绚丽，语言清新自然，为继屈原之后，出现在我国诗坛的伟大的浪漫主义诗人。他和杜甫齐名，人称“李杜”。杜甫曾说他“笔落惊风雨，诗成泣鬼神”。他的诗歌，现存900多首，著作有《李太白集》。 三、关于《蜀道难》 关于《蜀道难》的写作时间和主题思想，自唐宋以来便有许多不同说法。天宝初年，李白第一次到长安，受权贵谗毁，乃愤然弃职离京。大约是此时为送友人入蜀之作。 他袭用乐府古题，展开丰富的想象，着力描绘了秦蜀道路上奇丽惊险的山川，备言蜀道之险恶难行，以寄寓求仕无成、世路坎坷的感慨，并从中透露了对社会的某些忧虑和关切。 四、整体把握、理清思路 明确：这首诗以“蜀道难”的“难”为核心按照由古及今，自秦入蜀的线索，抓住各处山水特点来描写，以展示蜀道之

Unit 1 Festivals around the world FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events. Festivals of the dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm.

普通高中课程标准实验教科书（人教版） 英语必修Ⅲ Unit1 Festivals around the world (Reading) Festivals and Celebrations 学生姓名：赵倩倩
Unit 1Festivals around the world Ⅰ.Analysis of teaching material At the beginning of the class, the teacher can lead in the topic of the unit by having a free talk with students about their winter holidays and the Spring Festival. The Warming Up is intended to have students start thinking about the variety of events and festivals that are celebrated in China, and connect them with seasons of the year and reasons for the celebrations. The teacher can use this part to introduce information that Chinese students should have about their country’s cultural events. The Pre-reading is a continuation of the Warming Up and it moves the discussion to a more personal level. It is intended to help students enter imaginatively into a discussion of festivals and their importance to the society. It also directs their attention to the variety of events and activities those festivals include. The teacher should let students discuss the questions and predict what kind of information will be introduced in the Reading. The reading passage titled FESTIV ALS AND CELEBRATIONS briefly describes the earliest kinds of festivals with the reasons for them, and then four different kinds of festivals that occur in most parts of the world. Encourage students to look at the pictures and the heading of each section to guess what the text might be about. Then let them skim for the general idea for each section, and scan for further understanding. Because this passage introduces a lot of useful new words and expressions which are only used for festivals, in order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading. After reading, students are required to do the four exercises in the Comprehending to see how much they have understood the reading passage. The teacher can first let them work in pairs or in groups to find the answers cooperatively, and then check their answers with the whole class. To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, students should be required to talk about festivals in their own words at the end of the class. In order to arouse students’ interest, the teacher can hold a competition between groups. Ⅱ.Teaching aims 1.Knowledge aims 1). Get students to learn the useful new words and expressions in this part: beauty, harvest, starve, origin, religious, ancestor, Mexico, feast, bone, belief, poet, arrival, gain, independence, gather, agriculture, award, rooster, admire, energetic, Easter, clothing, Christian, custom, take place, in memory of, dress up, play a trick on, look forward to, day and night, as though, have fun with 2). Let students learn about history and basic knowledge of festivals both in and out of China. 2.Ability aims 1). Develop students’ reading ability and let them learn different reading skills.
