book2 unit3 computers revision

Book2unit3知识点在 Book2unit3 中，我们会接触到众多重要的知识点，涵盖了词汇、语法、阅读以及写作等多个方面。

首先是词汇部分，这一单元出现了许多与科技、信息相关的新词汇。

比如“compute”（计算）、“network”（网络）、“download”（下载）等。

掌握这些词汇的拼写、发音和用法对于理解和表达与现代科技相关的内容至关重要。

我们可以通过造句的方式来加深对这些词汇的记忆，例如：“I need to compute the data before presenting the report”（在提交报告之前，我需要计算数据。

）“The computer is connected to the network”（这台电脑连接到了网络。

）“You can download the software from the official website”（你可以从官方网站下载这个软件。

）语法方面，重点之一是现在完成时的进一步学习和运用。

现在完成时用于表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果，其结构为“have/has ＋过去分词”。

例如：“I have finished my homework”（我已经完成了作业。

）“He has lived here for five years”（他已经在这里住了五年。

）需要注意的是，与一般过去时的区别在于，一般过去时强调动作在过去发生，而现在完成时强调过去动作与现在的联系。

在阅读部分，我们会遇到一些具有一定难度的科技类文章。

阅读时，要学会抓住关键信息，理解文章的主旨大意。

同时，注意文章中的连接词和过渡句，它们有助于理清文章的逻辑结构。

比如“However”（然而）、“Therefore”（因此）等词，能够帮助我们更好地理解作者的观点和思路。

写作方面，要学会运用本单元所学的词汇和语法知识，清晰准确地表达自己的想法。

例如，写一篇关于科技对生活影响的短文，可以这样开头：“With the rapid development of technology, our lives have changed greatly For example, we can now communicate with people around the world through the network easily”（随着科技的迅速发展，我们的生活发生了巨大的变化。

M2 Unit 3 ComputerPeriod 1:Warming up(WHO AM I?)Warming upThis section is an introduction to the topic．It is to get the students thinking about the different ways computers can be made．Do this part of the lesson in pairs and as a speaking activity．Warming up by talking about computerLook at the pictures on page 17. What are they? What do they have in common? Yes, they are computers. Then what is a computer?A computer is a machine which stores knowledge in its memory and does calculations on that knowledge. This knowledge is stored in symbols; it is called data. A computer usually has a monitor to show results. However, some computers can speak; these computers can be used for voice mail.Draw on the blackboard a diagram to illustrate the influence of the computer and the Internet over the school education．Below is a diagram you may like to use．Ask students to look at the diagram and consider, ”What changes have computers and the Internet brought to schools? What changes will they bring to schools in the future?”Ask the Ss to work in groups and to make a list of the possible changes they can think of．When most of the groups have their lists ready, the teacher can hold a class discussion．Write down the major changes the students think of under / beside the diagram．The teacher can add one or two changes that may affect their own teaching．For example, “Computers and the Internet can help busy parents contact teachers by email．”The teacher can end the task with a brief summary, or hold a further discussion to find out students' personal opinions about the changes．For example, ask them, “Do you like all these changes? Why and why not? What changes do you like / dislike?”Some information:计算机室A computer frequently requires a boot device. The boot device contains the computer’s operating system and data. Computer programs can be installed onto a computer. Some people think that computers are less useful if they do not have access to the Internet. They think this because the Internet allows the computers to send and receive data and email across the world.曙光3000巨型计算机A computer is now almost always an electronic device. It usually contains materials which are toxic; these materials will become toxic waste when disposed of. When a new computer is purchased in some places, laws require that the cost of its waste management must also be paid for. This is called product stewardship.In some countries old computers are recycled (melted down) to get gold and other metals. This is dangerous, because this procedure releases the toxic waste into the water and soil.Computers become obsolete quickly. Very often they are given away and new ones replace them within two or three years. This makes the problem worse. Computer recycling is thus common. Many projects try to send working computers to developing nations so they can be re-used and will not become waste as quickly. Computer jargon 计算机行话Computer jargon means words to do with computers and surrounding topics. Knowing what these words mean can help you know more about computers. Some people use these words to impress other people (Also known as buzzwords). Examples of jargon:Bit - The smallest data unit, can either be a “0.” or a “1.”.Byte - unit of data. See also Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte and NibbleCPU –Central Processing Unit, Another name for processorData - Information stored on a computerDisk - A place to store data.Email - Electronic mail.GHz - Gigahertz. Used often incorrectly to describe the speed of a processor. But with some 2.4 GHz processors faster than 3.6 GHz ones, it is clear that it is just a salesman trick.Load - Get data from a diskNibble - Half a ByteSave - Put data on a diskRAM – random-access memory(随机存取存储器), the more the better.USB - Universal Serial Bus（通用串行总线，一种简化了插接多种附件的薄型插座）WWW - World Wide Web, part of the InternetPeriod2-3 Pre-reading & ReadingPre-readingThis can be a continuation of the Warming Up．Let the students discuss the questions set out in the Student's Book．1. Questioning and answering What do you know about computer?●Electronic machine capable of performing calculations and other manipulations of various types of data, under the control of a stored set of instructions. The machine itself is the hardware; the instructions are the program or software. Depending upon size, computers are called mainframes, minicomputers, and microcomputers. Microcomputers include desk-top and portable personal computers.●A multi-function electronic device that can execute instructions to perform a task.●A device that accepts information, processes it, and supplies an output. A computer usually contains memory, a control unit, arithmetic and logical units, and a means for input and output.●a programmable hardware component that is controlle d by internally stored programs and that can perform substantial computations (including arithmetic andlogic operations) without human intervention. A computer typically consists of one or more processing units, memory units, and associated peripheral input and output devices.●Related to automation and electronic data processing. The Library of Congress commonly classes most computer-related books in HF5548, QA75-76, Z52, T385, and some TK ranges.●a machine for performing calculations automaticallycalculator: an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)●A computer is a device or machine for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms. Computers are constructed from components that perform simple well-defined functions. The complex interactions of these components endow computers with the ability to process information. If correctly configured (usually by, programming) a computer can be made to represent some aspect of a problem or part of a system. If a computer configured in this way is give2. Discussing and sharing How have computers changed our lives?Someday soon, if you haven’t already, you’re likely to plug into the computer network nation growing in our midst. Computer terminals, or small computers connected via modem (a modulator/demodulator circuit for encoding/decoding computer chatter) to ordinary telephone lines, should be as ubiquitous as the telephone itself. They’re a much more useful and humane tool than the phon e, and with corporate America behind them the networks will be everywhere----changing our lives more than any technology since the automobile.Joining a computer network is the same as joining a community. Small systems are like villages, where new members are formally welcomed. The larger networks, the Source and CompuServe, for example, are cities-anonymous, full of life and events, but difficult to fit into.II. ReadingThis is the purpose of the reading and so it is important that the students learn to use all the clues in the text to help them understand the gist of what they are reading．So encourage them to look at the pictures and the heading and guess what the text might be about．Then ask the class to read the passage silently．Make sure the students have the chronology of the development of computers in their minds．Ask them:1. Listening and reading to the recording of the text WHO AM I?Turn to page 18 and listen and read to the recording of the text. Pay attention to the pauses, pronunciation and intonation of the native reader.2. Reading aloud and underlining expressionsNow we are to read the text once again and underline all the expressions in the text. Put them down into your notebook after class as homework.Collocations from WHO AM I?begin as…, a calculating machine, be built as…, follow instructions from…, sound simple, at the time, a technological revolution, write a book, make…work, solve problems, become huge, had artificial intelligence, go back to…, the size of…, go by,change size, become small and thin, get quick, stand there by oneself, be connected by…, share information by…, talk to…, bring…into…, deal with…, communicate with…, serve the human race3. Reading, identifying and settlingAttention, please! It is time to skim the text one more time and identify the difficult sentences. Try analyzing the structures of the difficult sentences and discuss them among your group members. You may also put your questions to me for help.Chat （online）（在线）聊天To chat is to talk about ordinary things that are not very important. You can chat to one person or to many people. People also use this word now for parts of the Internet where we can talk with many different people at the same time. Usually, you chat on the internet in a chat room or messaging service like AOL(American On-Line) Instant Messenger (AIM), Yahoo Messenger, or MSN Messenger.IV. Closing down by doing comprehending exercisesTurn to page 18 and in pairs do the comprehending exercises No. 1 and 2.

Unit 3 ComputersPart 1 WHO AM I?Over time I have been change d quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I develope d very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programme d by an operator who used card s with hole s, I could “think” logically and produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was consider ed a technological revolution and the start of my “artificial intelligence”. In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a “universal machine” to solve any difficult mathematical problem. From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wonder ed if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designer s. As time went by, I was made smaller. First as a PC(personal computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.These changes only became possible as my memory improve d. First it was store d in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so large that even I couldn’t believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in early 1960s they gave me a family connect ed by a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web.Since the 1970s many new application s have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robot s and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operation s. I have even been put into space rocket s and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!Part 2 ANDY – THE ANDROIDI’m part of an android football team. About once a year we are allowed to get together to play a game of football. I’m as big as a human. In fact, I look like one too. On the football team I’m a striker so I have to be able to run very fast. My computer chips help me to move and think like ahuman. For example, I have learned to signal to my teammates in computer language to give me the ball when I am open and have a good shot for a goal.My first football competition was in Nagoya, Japan several years ago. Last year our team went to Seattle, Washington in the USA. We won second place. Personally, I think the team that won first place cheat ed. They had developed a new type of program just before the competition. So we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence too. We are determined to create an even better system. In a way our programmer is like our coach. She program s us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching human games. Then she prepare s reliable moves to use if a new situation arise s. In this way I can make up new moves using my “artificial intelligence”. I would really like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like them. After all, with the help of my electronic brain which never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what I’m all about!。
