Unit2 Robots

Senior 2 Book 7 Unit 2 Robots The First Period说课稿――姓名一、说教材1、教材的地位与作用本单元以机器人和科幻小说为话题，介绍了20世纪世界知名的科幻小说家Isaac Asimov写于1951的Satisfaction Guaranteed 和作者的生平。

通过本单元的教学，旨在让学生了解科幻小说最大的特征在于，它赋予了“幻想”依靠科技在未来得以实现的极大可能，甚至有些“科学幻想”在多年以后，的确在科学上成为了现实。

如Isaac Asimov1951年描述的机器人的部分功能已经被应用于现实生活和工作中。

在教学中，要鼓励学生敢于幻想，大胆创新，发挥自己丰富的想象力和创作力，写出独具特色的科幻文章。

2、教学目标的确定○1知识目标：1、Learn literary work about science, robots and science fiction writer—Isaac Asimov2、Talk about robots3、Express supposition and belief○2能力目标：开展任务型阅读、调查活动，获得理解、识别和处理相关信息的能力。

展开多种形式的任务活动，使学生具备较熟练地运用语言的能力。

○3情感目标：培养学生敢于幻想，大胆创新，发挥自己丰富的想象力和创作力，能够写出独具特色的科幻文章。

3、教学重点、难点教学重点：Enable students to grasp what Tony did to help Claire and how her emotion developed during Tony’s stay at her house. Help students to sum up characteristics of science fiction.教学难点：How Claire’s emotion developed during Tony’s stay at her house.4、对教材的处理基于对教材的分析，同时结合本班学生的阅读能力，我首先通过PPT课件向学生展示机器人图片，以创设学习氛围，其次，为学生提供小组合作学习的时间，让学生处理预读部分，在完成预读部分的学习任务之后，我引导学生学习阅读部分，在这一部分的学习过程中，我一面要求学生自主学习，一面适时点拨帮助学生，加深了学生对课文内容的理解，培养了学生的阅读能力。

【词汇讲解】Unit 2 Robots各种“声明”知多少―――谈declare用法作为出现率比较高的动词，declare 的意思主要有：宣布；宣告；声明；宣称；申报等，例如：He declared his intention to run for office.他宣布了自己参加竞选的想法。

We declared war on drug dealing in the neighborhood.我们向在邻近地段进行的毒品交易宣战了。

We declared for their proposal.我们声明赞成他们的建议。

The accused man declared himself innocent.被告声称他是无罪的。

If you insist, we have to declare the meeting off.如果你坚持的话,我们不得不取消这次会议。

The politician declared his views to a group of reporters from radio, television and the newspapers.这个政治家向电台、电视台和报界的一群记者申明了自己的观点。

最后我们来看declare, announce, publish 这三个都有“公布”的意思的词组的区别：declare指口头或书面当众正式明确宣布；announce官方或个人公开宣布公众所关心的，尤指具有新闻性质的事情。

宣布的方式可以是口头的或书面的；publish 指正式公布，尤指印成文字发表、公布。

第二单元机器人包君满意拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家生产机器人的公司里工作。

最近，该公司要对一个家用机器人进行试验。

这项试验将由拉里的夫人克莱尔来尝试。

克莱尔并不想把机器人留在家里，特别是在她丈夫离家三周的这个期间。

但是克莱尔被拉里说服了。

他说，机器人不会伤害她，也不会让别人来伤害她。

这样会是个意外的收获。

然而她初次见到机器人的时候就感到有点儿吃惊。

机器人名叫托尼，看上去更像一个人，而不像台机器。

他虽然面部表情毫无变化，但是个子高大、相貌英俊，二头发平整，声音低沉浑厚。

第二天早晨，托尼戴着围裙，给她端来了早餐，然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣打扮。

她感到有点儿不好意思，很快就打发他走了。

机器人如此通人性，这使她觉得心烦和害怕。

有一天，克莱尔说起，她觉得她自己并不聪明。

托尼则说，克莱尔一定是很不高兴，才会说出这样的话来。

克莱尔觉得，机器人会向她表示同情，这有点荒唐可笑。

但是她开始信任托尼了。

她告诉托尼她太胖了，这让她很不高兴。

还有对于像拉里这样很想提高社会地位的人来说，她的家也不够高雅。

她跟格拉迪斯’克拉芬不一样，格拉迪斯是远近闻名的有钱有势的女人。

托尼为让克莱尔高兴，答应帮助她，使她变得漂亮，使她的家变得高雅大方。

于是克莱尔从图书馆借来一堆书给托尼阅读，或者说给他浏览一下。

她惊奇地看着他的手指翻动着书页，忍不住突然伸出手来摸他的手指。

他的手指甲和他那柔软温暖的皮肤使她感到大为惊异。

她在想，这是多么可笑啊，他只不过是一台机器呀!托尼给克莱尔换了个发型，又改变了化妆风格。

因为不允许托尼陪克莱尔去商店，所以托尼就给她写了一份购物清单。

克莱尔进城去买了窗帘、坐垫、地毯和床上用品。

然后她去了一家珠宝店买项链。

柜台售货员对她很粗鲁，她就打电话给托尼，让售货员同托尼讲话。

售货员马上就改变了态度。

克莱尔对托尼表示感谢，并说他是个“可爱的人”。

她刚一转过身去，就看到格拉迪斯_·克拉芬站在那儿。

克莱尔想，被格拉迪斯发现了1，这多么难为情啊!从格拉迪斯脸上的那种有趣而又惊奇的神色来看，克莱尔知道，格拉迪斯认为她有风流韵事了：毕竟格拉迪斯知道她的丈夫是拉里，而不是托尼。

Today there are different kinds of robot, including industrial robots, household robots, and entertainment robots. Robots also often appear as characters in stories.机器人是一种机器，设计用来做通常是由人类执行的工作。

对机器人进行编程，由计算机进行控制。

今天有不同种类的机器人，包括工业机器人、家用机器人、娱乐机器人。

机器人也经常作为人物出现在故事里。

In groups, make a list of any science fiction, literature, films, video games, TV shows and cartoons you know that include robots as characters. Choose one and be prepared to tell the class about it briefly.以小组为单位，列出你熟悉的里面有机器人作为角色的所有科幻小说，文学，电影，视频游戏，电视剧和漫画的清单。

选择一个，准备给全班同学做个简要介绍。

❶过去分词designed做定语修饰machine中心词，可以看成是定语从句which is designed to do jobs的省略。

定语从句that are usually performed by humans可省that are变成usually performed by humans过去分词短语作定语。

Unit 2 RobotsⅠ.阅读理解A(2020·河北省高三年级名校联考) In elementary school，Glenn Cameron was very aware of the challenges faced by his friend，Roger，who had lost a hand.Now he has built an artificial helper for him.The robotic hand is called “Dexi”．Each of its fingers can move independently.The strength and speed of the hand's“muscles” can be controlled.He's also created a digital version of this hand，which responds on a computer screen.Through a special headset，the system takes electrical signals from a human brain，sends them to a computer，and then the computer “ tells” the hand what to do.For example，to make the hand close，you “see” a fist in your head.In fact，Cameron's first robotic hand was 3D printed online.Realizing the hand was too limited，he decided to build his own.It was quite a challenge，but his new version was better.It was also cheap，compared to many other robotic hand projects.Cameron says designing and building the hand was hard，but he went on.Then came the one Roger is using.Cameron is working on a hand that can actually be used by a person who's lost a hand at present.He says the new hand will be simpler，because there won't be as much space.To make up for this，he's adding a mini camera and trying to make the hand smarter.Cameron encourages young people who think they might want to do something demanding and similar，“ You just begin working towards it.Take one little step at a time，purposeful and steadfast，sooner or later you're going to get to the place you long for.”语篇解读在小学的时候，Glenn Cameron看到朋友缺少一只手，内心很受触动，他现在已经制造出了可以由人脑控制的机械手来帮助朋友。
