That means we can change “doing somesport ” into “the person who does the sport ”.2. Means of word-formation in generalAffixation, conversion, and composition (or compounding) are the chief means of word-formation inEnglish.

It was Michel Brealwho introduced this phrase at the closing dinner of the congress for the reestablishment of the modernOlympic Games on June 23,ter , the International Olympic Committee formally adopted this phraseas the official motto of the Games.The Olympic CreedThe Olympic creed was also introduced at the 1896 Games. As stated by Pierre de Coubertin, the creed isas follows:”The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to tak e part, just as the mostimportant thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conq ue r e d butto have fought well.”The Olympic FlagIt was Pierre de Coubertin who conceived the idea of the Olympic flag with five coloured interlockingrings on a white backround. The rings represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of theathletes from all ar ou n d the world at the Olympic Games.T oday , almost a century after the flag ’creation, the six colours, th ose of the rings (blue, yellow, black,green, red) and that of the white b ack gr ound which stands for peace, still maintain their symbolism andcan be found in flags across the world. The Olympic flag was first used during the Antwerp Games in1920.The Olympic Oath“In the name of all the competitors, I promise that we shall tak e part in these Olympic Games, respectingand abiding by the rules which govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport andthe h on ou r of our teams.”At the openi ng Ceremony of each Games, one athlete from the host country takes Olympic o ath on behalfof all competing athletes. This particular gesture of sports-manship was introduced at the 1920 Games inAntwerp, Belgium. A coach or team official takes a similar o ath at each Opening Ceremony .The Olympic FlameThe Olympic flame is one of the most visible symbols of the modern Games. Its tradition has survivedfrom the Games of ancient Greece, where a sacred flame, ignited by the sun, burne d continually on thealtar of the goddess Hera.The modern Olympic flame was first lit in 1928 at the Amsterdam Olympic Games, where it bu rnedthr ou g h ou t the competitions. It has become a major symbol for solidarity among nations and embodies theOlympic spirit encomp assing the ideals of purity,the endeavour for perfection,the struggle for victory, friendship and peace.The T orch RelayDuring the1896Games in Athens,y oung inspired sportsmen had organised the first torch relays.However, the tradition of the Olympic torch officially began at the Berlin Games in1936.As in ancient times,the torch is lit by the sun in Ancient Olympia,the n p assed from runner to runner in a relay to the host city,where it is used to light the Olympic Stadium’s flame during the Games’Opening Ceremony.The fla the n burns until it is extinguished at the Closing Ceremony.Section3:Words and expressions from unit2THE OLYMPIC GAMEShonestadj. 1.not disposed to cheat or defraud;not deceptive or fraudulent:honest lawyers2.mark ed by truth: give honest answers 3.without pretensions:work ed at an honest trade4.without dissimulation;frank: my honest opinion5.habitually speaking the truth:an honest man 6.worthy of being depended on:an honest working staff7.free from guile:His answer was simple and honestancientadj. 1.very old:an ancient mariner2.in or of times long ago:ancient Rome and Greece3.having existed since a very early time:ancient history/customscompetev.to try to win sth.in competition with someone else:John competed for a place at their school,but didn’t get pete for something;engage in a contest;measur e oneself against othersmedaln.an award for winning a championship or commemorating some other eventhostn.a man who receives guests:He acted as host to his father’s friends.China is the host country for2008 Olympic Games.v.be the host of or for:We hosted4couples last night.magicaladj.possessing or using or characteristic of or appropriate to supernatural powers:a magical spell interviewn. 1.the questioning of a person(or a conversation in which information is elicited);o ften condu cted by journalists:My interviews with teen-agers revealed a weakening o f religious bonds.2.a conference8.(usually with someone important) v . 1. conduct an interview in television, newspaper , and radio reporting2. discuss formally with (somebody) for the purp ose of an evaluation: We interviewed the job candidates.3.go for an interview in the hope of being hired: The job candidate interviewed everywhere.athleten. a person trained to compete in sportsadmitv . 1. allow participation in or the right to be p art of; permit to exercise the rights, functions, andresponsibilities of: admit someone to the profession 2. allow to enter; grant entry to: We cannot admitnon-members into our club. 3. serve as a means of entrance: This ticket will admit one adult to the show . 4.give access or entrance to: The French doors admit onto the yard. 5. afford possibilitye: This problemadmits o f no solution. 6. declare to be true or admit the existence or reality or truth of:He admitted hiserrors. 7. admit into a group or community: We’ll have to vote on whether or not to admit a . new memberhave room for; hold without crowding: The theater admits 300 people.replacev . 1. put something back where it belongs: Replace the book on the shelf after y ou have finished readingit. 2. substitute a person or thing for (another that is brok en or inefficient or lost or no longer working oryielding what is expected): He replaced the old razor blade. 3. put in the place of another; switchseemingly equivalent items: The con artist replaced the original with a fake Rembrandt. 4. tak e the placeor mov e into the position of: Smith replaced Miller as CEO after Miller left.relatev . 1. have or establish a relationship to: She relates well to her peers. 2. be in a relationship with: Howare these two observations related? 3. give an account of: The witness related the events. 4. have to dowith or be relevant to 5. mak e a logical or causal connection: I cannot relate these events at all.sailn. 1. a large piece of fabric (as canvas) by means of which wind is use d to propel a sailing vessel2. anoce an trip tak en for pleasure v . 1. traverse or travel by ship on (a bod y of water): We sailed the Atlantic 2.travel in a boat propelled by wind: I love sailing, especially on the open sea. 3. travel by boat on a boatpropelled by wind or by other means: The QE2 will sail to Southampton tomorrow . 4. mov e with sweeping,effortless, gliding motions: Shreds of paper sailed through the air.advertise。
教学形式1、任务型教学2、合作学习3、讨论学情分析值得我们注意和思考的是,最基本的课前预习,课后复习,制定学习计划等方面,有的学生显得被动,没有养成良好的预习、复习,有规律制定自己学习计划的习惯,大多数只有在老师的要求下才学习。
对学英语的意义和目的不够明确,缺乏学英语的能力和方法,有些学生没有主动积极学英语的习惯。
以往的教学模式学习理念使学生丧失了学习的自主性,忽视了学生创新精神和实践能力的培养,教学过程以学生被动接受式学习为主要表现形式,缺少学生积极主动的参与,使学生失去了学习的乐趣,把学英语当成了负担。
新的教学理念被越来越多的人所接受,课堂显现出在教师引领帮助下,学生自主学习、主动参与、积极思维、充分发展的主线、做到真正意义上的,把课堂还给学生。
随之而来的,如何培养学生自主性创新学习能力正成为我们努力探索的问题。

2. 以往学生觉得学单词比较枯燥无味,为了改变这种现象,教师首先出示图片,通过让学生描述图片,学习一些新的单词。
在选择图片时,教师注意选择与新单词能相结合的图片,达到图文并茂,轻松学单词,印象深刻的效果1.Show the Ss the pictures of the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games heldin Beijing on August 8th,2008.2. Teach some new words with the help of some pictures.(In this part, teach the Ss some important new words from the pictures: compete /take part in / competitor / athletes / medal / host / stadium / silver)Ⅳ. Reading:设计思路:一.快速阅读:在进入此环节前,教师给学生提了一个问题:Can you see a woman in the Ancient Olympic Games? If you want to know the answer and more about the Olympic Games, please read the text. 首先让学生快速通读全文,了解文章的大概框架,回答下列问题:1) Who was Pausanias?2) What events are there in the Winter Olympic Games?3) What upsets Pausanias about the modern Olympic Games?二.仔细阅读。
教师对Comprehending的练习一作出以下改动,让学生带着目的更容易地找出答案,通过以下表格,让学生更清楚地了解古、现代奥运会的异同点,达到本节课的教学目的。
在这一环节培养学生自主探究的能力,让学生理解细节,熟悉课文,增强阅读理解能力。
为consolidation 打下基础。
Ⅴ.Consolidation: Summary of the text, ask the Ss to read the text again and discuss the answers with their partners.设计思路:前面已花较多时间在理解课文,为此作下准备。
