Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors【美文阅读】北京猿人复原头盖骨(1960年发现的) 北京猿人塑像Peking Man was discovered in Zhoukoudian village ，on the Longgu Mountain ，Fangshan district ，Beijing ，which was listed as a world cultural heritage site in 1987.In the 1920s archaeologists discovered a complete skull of an ape ­man dating back 600,000 years which was later named as Peking Man.Stone tools and evidence of Peking Man's use of fire were later found on the mountain.Studies have shown that Peking Man walked on his feet and lived 690,000 years ago.His society lived in groups in caves and survived by hunting.The group could make use of rough stone tools and knew how to use fire for heating and cooking.The discovery included six complete skulls of Peking Man,12 skull fragments,15 mandibles(下颌骨)，157 teeth and some sections of broken femurs(大腿骨)，shinbones(胫骨)，and upper arm bones belonging to more than 40 individuals of different ages and sexes.In addition 100,000 fragments of stone tools were found together with sites used for fire and burnt bones and stones.Peking Man created a unique Old Stone Culture which had much influence to the Old Stone Culture of North China.Stone tools arethe principal relics of this remote culture.Also discovered in Zhoukoudian are stone points，a new production tool then，and bone articles made and used by Peking Man.Found in the caves were such tools as the larger end of an antler(鹿角，茸角) that had been used as a hammer and the sharp end of an antler used as a digging tool.The use of fire was a milestone of the development of civilization and the discovery of Peking Man has pushed back the time that man first used it by tens of thousands of years.The largest ash pile discovered in the caves is six metres thick.Fire allowed people to eat cooked food instead of raw food and promoted the development of the brain and improved health.With his rough tools and simple living conditions，Peking Man created a unique and very ancient culture.【诱思导学】1．When was Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian listed as a world cultural heritage?______________________________________________2．According to the studies，when did Peking Man live?______________________________________________3．What kind of tools did Peking Man use?______________________________________________【答案】 1.In 1987. 2.About 690,000 years ago.3．Stone tools.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，为下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。

Unit 5Meeting your ancestors单元要览本单元的中心话题是“考古学”。

语言知识的选择和听说读写等语言技能的训练主要围绕这一主题展开，具体涉及“周口店遗址的北京猿人”、“早期人类的生活方式”、“如何判断遗址年份”、“秦始皇兵马俑”和“埃及金字塔”等。

本单元的目的在于帮助学生增长考古学知识，更好地了解人类文明的发展进程。

Pre-reading，Reading and Comprehending整体设计教学内容分析This is the first teaching period of this unit.The central part of this period is a dialogue titledA Visit to the Zhoukoudian Caves.Warming Up presents four pictures of archaeological finds to arouse students' interest in learning about archaeology.Pre-reading provides a picture of a certain Peking Man's skull.By discussing today's daily equipment and predicting Peking Man's daily equipment，the teacher can lead students to think about the prehistory life and get prepared for the reading passage.Reading is a dialogue between a group of British students visiting Zhoukoudian caves and the archaeologist showing them around.Through the dialogue，students can get the insight into the lifestyle of the early people，increase the knowledge of archaeology，and experience the development of human civilization.Meanwhile，students' interest in archaeology and the desire to study early history can be stimulated.Comprehending consists of three kinds of exercises for the students so as to help the students to get a better understanding of the text，that is to say，to help the teacher check how much the students have understood the text.Exercise 1：read the passage and answer the questions；Exercise 2：let students find out three aspects in which modern people are different from early people；Exercise 3：let students find out the three topics that the archaeologist refers to when he talks about the Zhoukoudian caves.三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1．To know the meanings of the following new words and phrases in this period：alternative（可能的选择），starvation（挨饿；饿死），tentative（试探性的；不确定的），accuracy（精确；准确），interrupt（打岔；暂时中断或中止），acute（有观察力的；敏锐的；深刻的），assume（假定；设想），regardless of（不管；不顾），mat（席子；垫子），quilt（被子），beast（野兽），at most（至多；最多），centimetre（厘米），sharpen（锋利；尖锐），sharpener （磨具；削具），cut up（切碎），ample（足够的；充足的；富裕的），messy（凌乱的；脏的），primitive（原始的；简陋的），botany（植物学），botanical（植物学的；与植物学有关的），analysis（分析），seashell（海贝壳），ripen（使……成熟；成熟）2．To learn something about the Zhoukoudian caves.3．To develop the students' reading ability by reading the passage.4．To develop the students' speaking ability by talking about archaeological finds and the life of early people.Process and methods1．While doing Warming Up the teacher can lead in the topic of this unit by showing students a picture of an archaeological object.Students can practice their oral English by describing it.By reading the passage，students can have a better understanding of what is archaeology.2．During Pre-reading the teacher can go around the classroom and discuss the questions with several students.This discussion should be student-centered and help students understand the life of the Peking Man.The teacher should lead the students to look at the organization of the reading passage and try to guess the main idea of the text.3．While doing Reading and Comprehending，the teacher may first ask the students to read the text quickly to get the general idea of the passage.After detailed reading of the passage，students are encouraged to answer some questions and study the style of the text.4．To consolidate the contents of the reading passage，the students should be required to discuss questioning techniques the archaeologist uses in the passage.Emotion，attitude and value1．To arouse students' interest in archaeology.2．To develop students' sense of cooperative learning.教学重点、难点1．To enable the students to learn about the life that early people lived and to develop their reading ability.2．To enable the students to describe an archaeological object.教学过程Step 1Warming up1．Warming up by looking and talkingAsk the students to look at the following picture and discuss what it is and how much they know about it.The students should be encouraged to describe the picture using their own words.Suggested answers：It is Stonehenge，which is Britain's greatest national icon，symbolizing mystery，power and endurance.It wasn't constructed for any casual purpose.Only something very important to the ancients would have been worth the effort and investment that it took to construct Stonehenge.2．Warming up by reading a short passageWhat is archaeology?Archaeology is the study of ancient civilizations by scientific analysis of physical remains found in the ground.But unlike history，it often has to deal with civilizations that have no written records.So it is the job of archaeologists to try to find out as much as they can about the life and times of long dead people by looking at the places where they lived，what they wore，what tools they used and how they buried the dead.The study of archaeology is not just the study of objects.These are very important of course.But what is equally important for understanding how people lived is：Where the objects were found（on the floor of a house or with a body in the grave）Whether they were found with other similar objects or aloneWhat state they were inWhat they were made ofSo to get the most information about the site and the people who lived there，an excavation has to be organized in a very systematic and formal way.By excavating a site，archaeologists have destroyed the evidence.So writing and drawing everything in the place where it was found is extremely important.True or false：（1）Archaeology is the study of modern civilizations by scientific analysis of physical remains found in the ground.（2）The study of archaeology is not just the study of objects but also the study of how people lived.Suggested answers：（1）F（2）TStep 2Pre-reading1．Try a tentative guess about what Peking Man might have done and used thousands of years ago.（1）Places for living：_____________________________________________________ （2）Furniture：___________________________________________________________ （3）Entertainment：_______________________________________________________ （4）Food：_______________________________________________________________ （5）Clothing：_____________________________________________________________ Suggested answers：（1）caves（2）fireplaces（3）meals together（4）fish，meat，fruit in season（5）animal skins，leaves2．Ask students to discuss their answers and the reasons.Step 3Reading and comprehending1．Fast readingLet the students read the passage quickly and write down three ways in which the life of early people differs from that of modern ones.（1）______（2）______（3）________2．Detailed reading（1）Ask students to read the text carefully to get some specific information and do the true or false questions.①A group of students from England has come to the Zhoukoudian caves for a visit.（）②In the caves，human and animal bones，tools and ornaments have been found.（）③Fires were only used for keeping warm.（）④The most dangerous enemies for the earliest people were tigers and bears.（）⑤The earliest people wore clothes made from animal skins.（）⑥The primitive necklace was made of animal bones and shells.（）⑦There was no trade between early peoples.（）⑧The earliest people were called hunters or gatherers.（）（2）Ask students to do the following multiple choices.①According to the text，we can infer that ______.A．there was a large lake around the Zhoukoudian cavesB．the early people don't know how to catch or eat fishC．the early people didn't care about their appearance at allD．the early people wore nothing but some leaves②From the passage we can know when archaeologists explain something，they often state their ideas ______（A.definitely B．tentatively），that is，they often use ______（A.I know this B．It seems that...C．The evidence suggests that...D．It is reasonable to assume that...）．（3）Read the text again and find out the three topics that the archaeologist talked about.Topic one：_________________________________________________________________ Topic two：_________________________________________________________________ Topic three：________________________________________________________________ Suggested answers：1．（1）homes（2）clothes（3）tools2．（1）①T②T③F④T⑤T⑥T⑦F⑧T（2）①A②B；B，C，D（3）Topic one：Life in the cavesTopic two：What we can learn from a needleTopic three：What we can learn from a necklaceStep 4Language studyDeal with language problems if any（words or sentences students might not understand）to help the students to have a better understanding of the text.Step 5Listening，reading aloud and underliningAsk students to read the passage aloud to the tape and let them pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence.Tell them to pick out all the useful expressions or collocations from the passage while reading and copy them down in their notebooks after class as homework.Collocations：show sb.around；be aware（that）；regardless of；keep out；be made of；cut up；care about；look likeStep 6Studying the style of the textKeys for reference：This reading passage is written in the form of questions and answers.It is similar to an interview，but the questions follow an earlier question，which is different from an interview.It is also different from other styles of writing which use continuous prose.Step 7DiscussionGet students to discuss the questioning techniques that the archaeologist uses in the passage.Keys for reference：All the archaeologists will never say “I know this”．Instead，they will be tentative in their descriptions of life in the past.Step 8Homework1．Learn the useful new words and expressions in this period by heart.2．Find information about an archaeological object and try to introduce it to the classmates next period.Step 9Reflection after teaching________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________教学参考1．Zhoukoudian（The Cave of Peking Man）Zhoukoudian，located in 50 kilometers to the southwest of Beijing proper，is the former residence of Peking Man，who lived here approximately 200 000 to 500 000 years ago.Since the discovery of a complete skull on December 2,1929，Zhoukoudian，which had more recently been noted for its production of lime，became world­famous as the “home of the Chinese ape­man”．After the establishment of the People's Republic of China，the number of sightseers and scientists increased rapidly，and Zhoukoudian has become a great tourist attraction.Peking Man chose Zhoukoudian as his residence because the limestone caves and crevices in the area provided an excellent habitat.The northern face of Dragon Bone Hill（Longgushan），which stands to the east of the Zhoukoudian Railway Station，is the site of the caves occupied by Peking Man.In fact，a total of four early residential sites have been discovered on this hill.Besides those belonging to Peking Man，the remains of a site occupied by Hilltop Caveman are the most representative.（From /travel/beijing_guide/2008-05/17/content_15297950.htm）2．Stonehenge（巨石阵）Stonehenge is surely Britain's greatest national icon，symbolizing mystery，power and endurance（耐久）．Its original purpose is unclear to us，but some have guessed that it was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth deities（神）．It has been called an astronomical observatory （天文台）for marking significant events on the prehistoric calendar.Others claim that it was a sacred（神的）site for the burial of high-ranking citizens from the societies of long ago.While we can't say with any degree of certainty what it was for，we can say that it wasn't constructed for any casual purpose.Only something very important to the ancients would have been worth the effort and investment that it took to construct Stonehenge.The stones we see today represent Stonehenge in ruins.Many of the original stones have fallen or been removed by previous generations for home construction or road repair.There has been serious damage to some of the smaller bluestones resulting from close visitor contact （forbidden since 1978）and the prehistoric carvings on the larger stones show signs of significant wear.（From /gallery/photo_464469.htm）。

Unit 5Meeting your ancestorsPeriod 6Summing Up，Learning Tip and Assessment整体设计教学内容分析This is the last teaching period of this unit，so the emphasis should be placed on going over and summarizing what has been learned in this unit.It includes the following parts：Summing Up，Learning Tip，Checking Yourself and some other consolidation exercises.Summing Up summarizes the whole unit from the aspects of topic，vocabulary and grammar.The teacher can first use this part to let students sum up what they have learned in this unit and then let them find out what they can't understand very well.Learning Tip gives students instructions on how to describe something.When you describe something，you often need to give more than one adjectives.It is important for students to know the rules that decide the order in which they should be placed in the sentence.Finally，ask students to finish Checking Yourself on Page 85 in the Workbook.This part aims at encouraging students to make a self-assessment after they finish learning this unit.It is very important to improve their learning.Of course，a testing assessment is also needed.In this period，the teacher should also provide more exercises to consolidate what students have learned in this unit.三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1．To get students to master all the useful new words and expressions in this unit.2．To have students understand the new grammar item—the present perfect continuous tense better，and enable them to use the present perfect continuous tense and the present perfect tense correctly.3．To develop the students' ability to use the

It is an oil lamp that was used to give light at night. It was possibly used for parties, housework or study. Oliver oil was placed in the body of the lamp inside the lamp, and when it was lit it provided light.○2 A musical instrument: it was played when a person hit the bronze or brass (黄铜) bells. Different notes could be made by making the bells larger or smaller. People composed music to be played in a large house, temple or palace.○3 A stone tool: it was made of jade stone which is hard and very beautiful. It has a sharp edge so it could be used to break other pieces of stones. The hole on the top of the tool shows where it was joined to a wooden handle, so it could be used like an axe today.○4 A face of an Egyptian Pharaoh (埃及法老) [færəʊ] : it is a maskwhich was placed over the pharaoh’s face after he died. Sometimes they were also buried with the dead pharaoh. They were made of gold and decorated in beautiful colors. It shows that the pharaoh expected his objects to have the best of material and workmanship.2) Warming up by reading a short passageWhat is archaeology?Archaeology is the study of ancient civilizations by scientific analysis of physical remains found in the ground. But unlike history, it often has to deal with civilizations that have no written records. So it is the job of archaeologists to try to find out as much as they can about the life and times of long dead people by looking at the places where they lived, what they wore, what tools they used and how they buried the dead.The study of archaeology is not just the study of objects. There are very important of course. But what is equally important for understanding how people lives are:Where were the objects found? Where were they found with other similar objects or alone? What state were they in? What were they made of? So to get most information about the site and the people who lived there, an excavation has to be organized in a very systematic and formal way. By excavating (挖掘) a site, archaeologists have destroyed the evidence. So writing and drawing everything in the place where it was found is extremely important.Step 2 Pre-reading1.

She has been working very hard.He has been calling on her several times this week.We have been having a lot of rain recently.Step 3 Grammar learning一．现在完成进行时的构成: 出动词(have / has) not + been + V-ing; The Chinese have been making paper for two thousand years.I have been telling him to study hard.二. 现在完成进行时的用法1. 表示从过去某时开始的动作一直延续到说话时还在继续进行, 并有可能延续下去的动作, 常和for, since引导的时间状语连用.They have been living here for 10 years.It has been raining for 3 days.2. 表示一个动作从过去某时开始, 一直延续到说话时候刚结束.I have been waiting you for about one hour.She has been working all night long.3. 表示重复(只是断断续续, 而非一直不停).We’ve been discussing the matter several times this year.I have been saying goodbye to some friends today.4. 表示一个过去的动作对现在的影响或造成的结果, 相当于现在完成时He has been doing too much work.Who’s been insulting you?注意:1. 有些表示状态, 感情, 感觉的动词, 如: have, exist, like, hate, hear, know, sound等不能用于现在完成进行时, 但可以用于现在完成时I have known him for years.2. 有些动词, 如: live, learn, play, rain, snow, stand, study, teach, work, wait等, 如果强调动作延续时间的长久或带有感情色彩时, 用现在完成进行式比现在完成时更好一些.We have been living here for nearly 30 years.Miss Li has always been studying hard.语法延伸: 现在完成时与现在完成进行时的比较1. 现在完成时表示到现在为止已经完成, 或者在过去曾经发生过的动作; 现在完成进行时往往表示仍将继续下去的动作.I have written an article.I have been writing an article.They have built a ship.They have been building a ship.2. 当现在完成进行式表示刚刚结束时, 现在完成时强调动作的结果, 现在完成进行时则强调动作在不久以前持续进行的情景.Now we have cleaned the room; we can move the things in.----You look so tired. What have you been doing?----I’ve been playing football.3. 现在完成进行式往往表示动作在重复, 现在完成时则常常不带重复性.Have you been meeting her lately?你老是遇到她吗? (含有经常相会的意思)Have you met her lately? 你最近遇到过她吗? (该句如与often, every day等时间状语连用, 当然也表示动作在重复)语法练习:1) No matter how low you consider yourself, there is always someone ______ you wishing they were that night.A. getting rid ofB. getting along withC. looking up toD. looking down upon2) Tom was about to close the window _____ his attention was caught bya bird.A. whenB. ifC. andD. till3) Mark _____ have hurried.
