Module 2 Fantasy Literature—Philip PullmanPart One: Teaching Design第一部分教学设计Period 1: Reading—The Cat That VanishedGoals●To learn about fantasy literature●To learn to read with strategiesProcedures▇Warming up by learning about “fantasy”Hello, class! We have come to Module 2 FantasyLiterature—Philip Pullman. But what is fantasy? Who is Philip Pullman?Fantasy is a genre of art, literature, film, television, and music that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of either plot, theme, setting, or all three. The genre is generally distinguished from science fiction and horror by overall look, feel, and theme of the individual work, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three (collectively known as speculative fiction). In its broadest sense, fantasy covers works by many writers, artists, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends, to many recent works embraced by a wide audience today.As with other forms of speculative fiction, actions and events in fantasy very often differ from those possible in consensus reality. In many cases, especially in older works of fantasy but in many modern works as well, this is explained by means of divine intervention, magic, or other supernatural forces. In other cases, most frequently in works of modern fantasy in the high fantasy subgenre, the story might take place in a fantasy world that is wholly different from our own, complete with distinct laws of nature that permit magic.▇Warming up by learning about “Philip Pullman”Philip Pullman was born in Norwich on 19th October 1946. The early part of his life was spent travelling all over the world, because his father and then his stepfather were both in the Royal Air Force. He spent part of his childhood in Australia, where he first met the wonders of comics, and grew to love Superman and Batman in particular.From the age of 11, he lived in North Wales, having moved back to Britain. It was a time when children were allowed to roam anywhere, to play in the streets, to wander over the hills, and he took full advantage of it. His English teacher, Miss Enid Jones, was a big influence on him, and he still sends her copies of his books.After he left school he went to Exeter College, Oxford, to read English. He did a number of odd jobs for a while, and then moved back to Oxford to become a teacher. He taught at various middle schools for twelve years, and then moved to Westminster College, Oxford, to be a part-time lecturer. He taught courses on the Victorian novel and on the folk tale, and also a course examining how words and pictures fit together. He eventually left teaching in order to write full-time.His first published novel was for adults, but he began writing for children when he was a teacher. Some of his novels were based on plays he wrote for his school pupils, such as The Ruby In The Smoke.Philip still lives in Oxford, and he writes in a shed at the bottom of his garden. The shed contains two comfortable chairs (one for writing in, one for sitting at the computer in), several hundred books, a six-foot-long stuffed rat which took a part in his play Sherlock Holmes and the Limehouse Horror, a guitar, a saxophone, as well as the computer, decorated with dozens of brightly coloured artificial flowers attached to it by Blu-Tack.Blu-Tack plays a big part in Philip Pullman's writing process. With it he sticks to the wall pictures, notes, posters, reminders, postcards, book jackets, anything that will stay there.Another product of technology that Philip can't do without is Post-it Notes, the smallest yellow ones in particular. They are very useful for planning the shape of a story: he writes a brief sentence summarising a scene on one of them, and then puts them on a very big piece of paper which he can fill with up to sixty or more different scenes, moving them around to get the best order.Philip Pullman believes firmly in the virtues of healthy exercise and a moderate diet - for other people. It makes them feel virtuous, and makes them feel good if not happy. The most exercise he normally takes is unscrewing the top of the whisky bottle. If he liked the taste of tobacco, he would smoke vigorously. He is fond of sport, andplays it by watching television. He is a big fan of Neighbours, but that is the only soap he watches, as Neighbours gives him quite enough to think about.He is married to Jude. Their son Jamie is a viola player, and their younger son Tom studies music at university.As far as he can tell, Philip Pullman is moderately harmless and useful. He would like to carry on doing what he's doing now, and there seems no reason why he shouldn't, but if it suddenly became against the law to write stories, he would break the law without a second's hesitation.▇Before you readNow let’s go to page 11 to read first His Dark Materials and The Cat That Vanished.But first please go over the word list for this module, paying attention to the pronunciation of the word, the relationship between its pronunciation and its spelling.▇While you readWhile reading try to cut/ the sentences into thought groups, blacken the predicates, underline the useful expressions and darken the connectives.▇After you readCopy all the useful expressions into your Expression Book and make your own sentences with them.■Reading the text again to fill in the necessary information■Closing down by reading about “The Cat That Vanished”began with The Golden Compass. That first book was set in a world。

Period 3: Speaking—Telling the story of The Cat ThatVanishedObjectivesTo learn to put written passage into a dialogue●Procedures▇ Retelling the story in your own wordsHello, class. This time we shall try to retell the story we have just read in our own words.A: Have you seen the film called The Cat That vanished?B: No, I haven’t. Tell me about it in English.A: The film begins at one night when there was very little traffic.B: It’s terrible.A: And the road where a man was standing was quiet，with fortable houses，and trees along both sides of the road．B: What is the name of the man?A: He is Will by name.B: How was Will then?A: He was so tired that he could not think clearly but as he stood trying to decide what to do，he saw a cat.B: A cat? What a strange thing to be seen at night!A: She came out of a garden to where Will was standing. Will held out his hand, and the cat came up to him. Then she turned away and went across the road，towards the bushes just past the trees，and there she stopped．B: What about Will? What was he doing?A: Still watching. All of a sudden, Will saw the cat behave strangely.B: how did she behave?■Reading and retelling a fantasy storyYou have done a very good job.

Lewis writes in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence (暴力), wounds and evil (邪恶). C．S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.He goes on to comment, "Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel (残酷的) enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.〞 "It would be nice ,〞 he continues, "if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor (盔甲), is a better comfort than the idea of the police.〞Bruno Bettelheim, a wellknown child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. It's believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. It's what good literature does - it makes life larger.语篇解读：本文作者反驳了一些反对儿童阅读奇幻文学的错误观点 ,并强调了阅读奇幻文学的必要性 .1．According to the first paragraph, C．S. Lewis thinks that .A．children shouldn't read any fantasy story because it is badB．adults shouldn't do things that may frighten their childrenC．death and badness should be kept out of children's mindsD．writing a fantasy story is the best way of writing for children解析：选B 推理判断题 .根据第|一段的 "C.S.

A．Because it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies.B．Because it helps children overcome fears and find solutions.C．Because it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories.D．Because it gives children a happy memory when they grow up.解析：选B 细节理解题 .根据第三段的 "He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions.〞可知选B .4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .A．literature can give readers more frightening storiesB．fantasies can improve one's ability to solve problemsC．personal fantasies can help children get away from dangerD．most children can understand what fantasy literature is解析：选B 推理判断题 .根据最|后一段可知 ,作者认为梦想文学可以帮助孩子解决问题 .应选B .B"I really wrote it for me, it was what I found funny and what I liked.〞Those are the words of J．K.Rowling, the author of the greatly popular Harry Potter books.The quote refers to the first in a series of novels starring a young character who has built a lasting place unlikely to change for his creator in the world of children's literature. Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born in England in 1965, and wrote her first story at the age of six.She was in her mid20s when the idea for the Harry Potter novels came to her, during a long train ride.By the end of that journey, she says, the character of Harry and the school for wizards which he attended were more or less fully formed in her mind. It would be several years, however, before the novel was completed.By that time, Rowling had been through a failed marriage.Living on welfare as a single parent, she wrote about Harry Potter while sitting in an Edinburgh café with her daughter asleep beside her.She could not have dreamed of the fame and success which Harry would bring her in the years to come.Harry Potter is not your average superhero.He is 12 years old, skinny, wears glasses, and tends to worry a lot.Yet, he has taken the imagination of children and adults the world over, and has introduced millions to the joys of reading.Harry's attractiveness comes from his role as a very ordinary boy who finds himself in extraordinary situations.Orphaned (沦为孤儿) as a baby, Harry spends the next ten years being mistreated by the very bad relatives with whom he lives.On his 11th birthday, he learns that he has magical powers and is admitted for training at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.The adventures of Harry and his friends at the school are wonderfully narrated by J．K.Rowling.She manages to lead her millions of readers deep into the world of thesupernatural, while at the same time dealing with the fears and emotions of the ordinary human world.Many feel that this is the real magic of Harry Potter.语篇解读：本文介绍了及她的书Harry Potter .5．Joanne Kathleen Rowling wrote Harry Potter initially for .A．herself B．her husbandC．her daughter D．becoming rich解析：选A 细节理解题 .根据文章第|一段首|句 "‘I really wrote it for me, it was what I found funny and what I liked. ,Those are the words of J．K.Rowling, the author of the greatly popular Harry Potter books.〞可知 .6．According to the passage, which statement is CORRECT?A．The novel was completed shortly after the journey in which she formed the outline. B．When she completed the novel, she had a very happy family with her husband loving her.C．When she was writing the novel, her daughter was being looked after by her parents. D．While she was writing the novel, she was living a rather hard life.解析：选D 推理判断题 .由第三段 "Living on welfare as a single parent, she wrote about Harry Potter while sitting in an Edinburgh café with her daughter asleep beside her.〞可知 .7．Why does the novel Harry Potter attract so many readers? It is because of . A．J.K.Rowling's vivid description of the world of the supernaturalB．Harry Potter's role as a very ordinary boy who finds himself in extraordinary situations C．dealing with the fears and emotions of the ordinary human worldD．above all解析：选D 细节理解题 .根据倒数第二段首|句 "Harry's attractiveness comes from his role as a very ordinary boy who finds himself in extraordinary situations.〞可知B项正确；根据最|后一段可知A和C项正确 ,应选D .8．What does the underlined word "narrated〞 mean?A．give a lectureB．give a written description of sth.C．give a spoken description of sth.D．tell sb.a story orally解析：选B 词义猜想题 .根据上下文的语境可知narrate的意思是写书 ,而不是讲座、口头描述或者讲述故事 .CRobert Frost (1874－1963) is one of America's most beloved poets. He was a contemporary of many modernist poetic movements, but he wasn't associated (与……有联系) with any particular group of poets. He stuck to his own literary beliefs, and as a result, he attracted a good deal of criticism from the literary world. But, it is just because he was such a person and his voice was so original that Frost became so beloved. If you are to choose one of his poems and read it aloud on a busy street, we are sure that many people will recognize the poem immediately as Frost's.Mending Wall, which is the first poem in North of Boston, Frost's second book of poetry, is one of his most popular poems. It is a poem about two neighbors who fix a rock wall that lies between their homes. "I〞 want to destroy the wall, and the "neighbor〞wants to leave it standing.We just can't get enough of walls, can we? People love boundaries (界线). We love them when we're little, protecting our precious toys from our troublesome (令人烦恼的) brothers and sisters. As we get older, we begin to throw around the gentle term "personal space〞 , as in "GET OUT OF MY ROOM !〞 In college, we really learn how the idea of "My house is your house〞 doesn't always result in happy roommate relationships. After we become adults with good jobs and a lot of cool things, we often put up fences, gates, walls, or doors to protect our stuff and keep the peace.Walls help us protect ourselves, but their downside is that they often keep people from communicating with each other. Mending Wall makes us take a look at how we use our walls and boundaries, and why we use them the way we do. This poem sends a wakeup call to the universe.There are walls between our hearts.语篇解读：本文是一篇诗歌评论 .文章介绍了美国著名诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特并赏析了他的名作?修墙? .9．What can we learn about Robert Frost?A．His writing style is special.B．His first poem is about life.C．He often criticized other poets.D．He joined many poetic movements.解析：选 A 细节理解题 .由第|一段末 "If you are to ... as Frost's〞可知 ,随便拿一首|弗罗斯特的诗到街上去朗读 ,就会有人看出是他的诗 .这说明他的写作风格特别 ,容易识别 . 10．In Paragraph 3, what does the author want to show?A．Sharing with others brings us happiness.B．There seem lots of walls in our life.C．Walls let people know about themselves.D．Personal space is important to everyone.解析：选B 推理判断题 .作者对弗罗斯物的名作?修墙?进行简单介绍后 ,在第三段描述了这样一个事实：人们从小到大不断地树立各种围墙 .11．The third paragraph is developed by .A．space B．exampleC．time D．comparison解析：选C 写作手法题 .在第三段作者按照时间顺序展开全段 ,指出了人们从孩童时期到长大成人 ,不断地建立 "心墙〞 .12．The underlined word "downside〞in the last paragraph can be replaced by " 〞．A．true use B．old wayC．negative part D．major difference解析：选C 词义猜想题 .根据最|后一段but一词的转折可知 ,第四段讲墙可以保护人的同时 ,也阻止了人们的交流 .因此downside此处有 "缺乏之处〞的意思 .[课文对译]The Cat That VanishedWill was stupefied with exhaustion, and he might have gone on to the north, or he might have laid his head on the grass under one of those trees and slept; but as he stood trying to clear his head, he saw a cat.She was a tabby, like Moxie. She padded out of a garden on the Oxford side of the road, where Will was standing. Will put down his shopping bag and held out his hand, and the cat came up to rub her head against his knuckles, just as Moxie did. Of course, every cat behaved like that, but all the same Will felt such a longing to turn for home that tears scalded his eyes.Eventually this cat turned away. This was night, and there was a territory to patrol, there were mice to hunt. She padded across the road and towards the bushes just beyond the hornbeam trees, and there she stopped.Will, still watching, saw the cat behave curiously.She reached out a paw to pat something in the air in front of her, something quite invisible to Will. Then she leapt backwards, back arched and fur on end, tail held out stiffly. Will knew catbehaviour. He watched more alertly as the cat approached the spot again, just an empty patch of grass between the hornbeams and the bushes of a garden hedge, and patted the air once more.Again she leapt back, but less far and with less alarm this time. After another few seconds of sniffing, touching, whiskertwitching, curiosity overcame wariness.The cat stepped forward, and vanished.Will blinked. Then he stood still, close to the trunk of the nearest tree, as a truck came round the circle and swept its lights over him. When it had gone past he crossed the road, keeping his eyes on the spot where the cat had been investigating. It wasn't easy, because there was nothing to fix on, but when he came to the place and cast about to look closely, he saw it.At least, he saw it from some angles. It looked as if someone had cut a patch out of the air, about two metres from the edge of the road, a patch roughly square in shape and less than a metre across. If you were level with the patch so that it was edgeon, it was nearly invisible, and it was completely invisible from behind. You could only see it from the side nearest the road, and you couldn't see it easily even from there,because all you could see through it was exactly the same kind of thing that lay in front of it on this side: a patch of grass lit by a street light.But Will knew without the slightest doubt that that patch of grass on the other side was in a different world.He couldn't possibly have said why. He knew it at once, as strongly as he knew that fire burned and kindness was good. He was looking at something profoundly alien.And for that reason alone, it enticed him to stoop and look further. What he saw made his head swim and his heart thump harder, but he didn't hesitate: he pushed his shopping bag through, and then scrambled through himself, through the hole in the fabric of this world and into another.He found himself standing under a row of trees. But not hornbeam trees: these were tall palms, and they were growing, like the trees in Oxford, in a line along the grass. But this was the centre of a broad boulevard, and at the side of the boulevard was a line of cafés and small shops, all brightly lit, all open, and all utterly silent and empty beneath a sky thick with stars. The hot night was laden with the scent of flowers and with the salt smell of the sea.Will looked around carefully. Behind him the full moon shone down over a distant prospect of great green hills, and on the slopes at the foot of the hills there were houses with rich gardens and an open parkland with groves of trees and the white gleam of a classical temple.Just beside him was that bare patch in the air, as hard to see from this side as from the other, but definitely there. He bent to look through and saw the road in Oxford, his own world. He turned away with a shudder: whatever this new world was, it had to be better than what he'd just left. With a dawning lightheadedness, the feeling that he was dreaming but awake at the same time, he stood up and looked around for the cat, his guide.,消失的猫威尔累得脑子都木了 ,他本可以继续向北走 ,也可以在某棵树下头枕草地昏昏睡去；但是 ,正当他站在那儿 ,试图让头脑清醒些的时候 ,他看见了一只猫 .她是一只母斑猫 ,就像莫克西一样 .她轻轻地走出靠着牛津一侧街道上的一个花园 ,威尔正站在街边 .威尔放下他的购物袋 ,伸出手 ,那只猫朝他走过来 ,在他的手指间来回蹭起了脑袋 ,就像莫克西做的那样 .当然 ,每只猫都是那样的 ,但尽管如此 ,威尔还是渴望回家 ,以至|于热泪充满了他的双眼 .终于 ,这只猫转身跑开了 .正值夜晚 ,她还要巡视自己的领地 ,捕捉老鼠 .她轻轻地穿过马路 ,朝着角树林另一边的灌木丛走去 ,然后在那儿停了下来 .威尔仍然盯着她 ,看见猫的举动变得非常奇怪 .她伸出爪子去拍打她面前空气中的某种东西 ,某种威尔看不见的东西 .然后她向后一跃 ,脊背拱起 ,毛发竖立 ,尾巴僵直地伸着 .威尔了解猫的习性 .他更加警觉地看着 ,只见那只猫再次靠近那个地方 - -角树与花园树篱的灌木丛之间的一块空草地 ,又拍打了一下那里的空气 .她再次向后一跃 ,但这次跳得没有那么远 ,也没有那么害怕了 .又是几秒钟的嗅来嗅去 ,爪子触碰、胡须抽动 ,终于好奇心战胜了警惕性 .那只猫向前一迈 ,然后就消失了 .威尔眨了眨眼睛 .然后他静静地站着 ,紧靠离他最|近的一棵树干 ,这时一辆卡车转弯驶过来 ,车灯照到他的身上 .卡车开过去后 ,他穿过马路 ,眼睛盯着那只猫一直在打量的地方 .这并不容易 ,因为他无法把目光集中在某件东西上 ,但是当他靠近那个地方 ,设法仔细观察时 ,他看出了端倪 .终于 ,他从某些角度看到了 .看上去就像有人在距离路边大约两米的地方将空间切开了一块 ,它大体呈方形 ,不到一米宽 .如果你与那块空间处在同等高度 ,从侧面看你几乎看不到它 ,从后面那么完全看不见它 .只有从最|靠近马路的一边才能看到它 ,但也很难看清楚 ,因为透过它 ,你所看到的一切与这一边的完全相同：被一盏街灯照亮的一片草地 .但是威尔深信不疑 ,另一边的那块草地在一个不同的世|界里 .他不可能说得出所以然来 .他马上就知道了 ,就好似他知道火会燃烧、善意是美好的一样 .他所注视着的是某种极为陌生的东西 .仅仅是这一个理由 ,就足以吸引着他俯下身子向更深处望去 .他看到的一切使他头晕目眩 ,心跳加速 ,但是他却丝毫没有迟疑：他首|先把购物袋塞了过去 ,继而自己也钻了过去 - -穿过现实世|界框架上的这个洞 ,进入了另一个世|界 .他发现自己站在一排树下 .那是一些高大的棕榈树 ,而不是角树 ,像在牛津一样 ,那些树木沿着草地排列成行 .只是 ,他所处的地方是一条宽阔林阴大道的(中|央） ,林阴大道的一侧是成行的咖啡馆和小商店 ,灯火通明 ,还在营业 ,在布满繁星的夜空下 ,所有的店铺都静悄悄的 ,无人光临 .在这个炎热的晚上 ,空气中弥漫着鲜花的芳香和海水咸咸的味道 .威尔仔细地环顾四周 .在他身后 ,满月映照着远处壮丽的青山的轮廓 ,山脚下的斜坡上坐落着带有美丽花园的房子 ,还有一块树木丛生的公共绿地 ,一座风格古典的庙宇在其上闪着微微的白光 .空气中的那个空洞就在他身边 ,无论是从这边还是那边都很难看见 ,但却确定无疑地存在着 .俯身向空洞的那一边望去 ,他看到了自己的世|界 - -牛津的街道 .他不禁一颤 ,转过身来：无论这个新世|界如何 ,总会好过他刚刚离开的那个世|界 .带着逐渐出现的眩晕感觉 ,那种处在半梦半醒之间的感觉 ,他站起身来环顾四周寻找他的向导 - -那只猫 .。
