fire.S7:I’m proud of my school.S8:All his efforts were in vain.Step ⅢWord StudyT:Thank you for your performances.Yesterday we also learnt some new words.Have you learnt them by heart?Let’s have a dictation.Please take out a piece of paper and write down the words in English that I read in Chinese.Can you understand me?Ss:Yes.(Teacher begins to read out the Chinese meanings of the following words:central,civil,former,greedy,fierce,mental,physical.After that,teacher says the following:)T:Now exchange your paper with your partner to check them.(After a while)Have you finished?Ss:Yes.T:Now,please give your paper back to your partner.Look at the words written on your paper.Tell me what they have in common.Ss:They are all adjectives.T:Yes.Now,let’s do an exercise on

did very well.Please open your books and turn to Page 45.Finish Ex.2 in Word Study.You may use the rules of word formation to help you.First do it by yourself,and then check your answers with your partner.Finally,check your answers with the screen.(After the students have finished and checked them with their partners,teacher shows the following on the screen.)n.hardshipwillingnesscommercen.suffer sufferingbegin beginningdepressadv.slow slowlysocial sociallyeconomicallygive you an example first.(Teacher writes the following on the blackboard:injustice impossibleunhappy important disappear,and then says the following.)Look at the blackboard,please.Here are five words.Among them one word is different from the others.Can you pick it out?S9:The word “important”is different from the others.T:Pleae tell us why it is different.S9:I use the rules of word formation to pick it out.Because these words are all with some negative prefixes except “important”.The word “important”cannot be divided into two parts “im+portant”,if so,it will not be a complete word and lost its meaning.Am I right?T:Yes.you’re right.Do you know how to do the exercise?Ss:Yes.T:OK.Now,please do it quickly.After a while,I’ll ask some students to say your answers and explain them.(A few minutes later.)Are you ready now?Ss:Yes.T:The first group,Wang Li,please.S10:“Heater”is different from the others.Because each of these words has an suffix “-er”,but their meanings are different.All the words refer to a person except “heater”,which refers to a thing.T:Good.Let’s go on.The second one,Li Jun,please.S11:The word “respect”is different.Because the word cannot be divided into two parts “re+spect”,if so,its meaning is lost,while the other words are made up of two parts:re+construction/cover/place/build.The prefix “re-”means “again”.T:Quite right.Next student,go on,please.S12:“Monument”is different from the others.Because we know when we add the suffix “-ment”to a verb,the verb will be changed into a noun,while the word “monument”doesn’t belong to the case.S13:“Post-war”is different.Because the prefixes“non-,un-,in-”in these words all mean “not”,while the prefix“post-”in the word“post-war”means“after”.S14:The word “entry”is different from the other words.Except “entry”,the others are adjectives.They all have a suffix “-y”,while “entry”doesn’t have.The “-y”in the word is not a suffix.S15:“Display”is different.We know “dis-”is a negative prefix,meaning “not”.When we add the prefix to a word,the word’s meaning is opposite,while “display”is not the opposite of the word “play”.T:You all did very well.Step ⅣGrammerT:Now,please look at the sentences on the screen.Rewrite the sentences on the screen using the correct non-finite passive form.Before doing them,let’s review non-finite verbs together.T and Ss:The verb that cannot be used as the predicate is called the non-finite verb.The “v.-ing,v.-ed or to do cannot act as the predicate,so we call them the non-finite verb.”T:OK.Do you know the passive form of the non-finite verb?S16:The passive form of them is separately “being done”“or“to be done”.(Teacher writes them on the blackboard.)T:Very good.Please finish the sentences on the screen.After a while,I’ll check your answers.Suggested answers:1.It is impossible for lost time to be made up.2.Rules are made to be broken.3.I don’t mind his being invited.4.She enjoys being interviewed.T:Well done!Turn to Page 46 and do Ex.1 in Grammar.Rewrite the following sentences using the correct non-finite passive form.Before doing it,you can go through with the given example first.Five minutes later,I’ll check the answers with the whole class.Is that clear?Ss:Yes.T:OK.You can begin.(After five minutes,teacher

myself to be left alone.5.He insists on him being shown respect by us.6.Will they allow the book to be taken out of the library by anyone?T:Well,let’s go on with Ex.2.Read the article and then fill in the blanks with the proper form of the verbs in the brackets.First do it by yourself.Then check the answers with your partner.Finally,I’ll check your answers.Suggested answers:interested,knowing,to know,seeing,flying,to solve,looking,looking for,to put,to look/looking,to find,check,to interview,amazingStep ⅤConsolidationT:Now,let’s do an exercise to consolidate the grammar item—Non-finite

一、教法建议【抛砖引玉】本单元围绕海洋知识这一题材，让同学们通过阅读“The Sea”“Salt Lakes of the World”和“Life in the Oceans”来了解有关海洋及海洋生物的知识。

单元双基学习目标Ⅰ. 词汇学习四会单词和词组：sailor , do well , make up one’s mind , bathe , time( vt .) , spring , beg , beg one’s pardon , captain , depth , merely , huge , construction三会单词和词组：seaside , beach , dive , navy , drown , come up , vast , surface , solid , various , variety , float , the Dead Sea , partly , on average , pole , the South Pole , huge , at a time , occur , treasure , voyage , load , cycle , kg = kilogram(me) , the Atlantic = the Atlantic OceanⅡ. 交际英语道歉和遗憾一般来说，中国人喜欢反复强调自己的谦意，并喜欢用“非常抱歉”、“深表歉意”等表示程度倾向的语句，而英美人士则不同，对于因客观原因而造成的过失或差错，则不必主动工过分向对方表示歉意。

如一定要向对方道歉，说声 sorry 即可，一般不用 very , terribly , truly 等表示程度的词。

因为在美国，过分的道歉或自责反而显得不太诚恳，令人感到虚假或另有用心。

Some useful expressions：1 . Sorry / Pardon / I‘m sorry .2 . I’m sorry for/about…3 . I‘m sorry to do sth . / I’m sorry to have done sth…4 . Excuse me ( for… )5 . be afraid that…6 . What a pity/shame !7 . It‘s a pity that…8. That’s all right . /It doesn‘t matter . /That’s nothing .9 . That‘s OK . /It’s quite all right . /Never mind . /No trouble at all . / That‘s not your fault .交际示范：( A is late for a birthday party ) .A : Come in , Mr Smith . Nice to see you .B : Nice to see you too . I’m very sorry to be late .( I‘m sorry to have kept you waiting . )A : It doesn’t matter . We‘re glad you could come .B : I didn’t quite remember the number of your house , so it took me a long time to find your house .A : I‘m sorry that I didn’t make myself clear .B : Oh , that‘s nothing .Ⅲ. 语法重点学习省略句的用法。
