高一英语必修一Unit 5课文翻译Unit 5 Nelson Mandela - a modern heroReadingAELIAS’ STORY伊莱亚斯的故事My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa.我的名字叫伊莱亚斯。

我是南非的一个穷苦的黑人工人。

The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life.第一次见到纳尔逊·曼德拉的时候，是我一生中非常艰难的时期。

I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice.(当时)我才12岁，那是在1952年，曼德拉是我寻求帮助的一位黑人律师。

He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems.他为那些穷苦黑人提供法律指导。

He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.他十分慷慨地给予我时间，我为此非常感激。

I needed his help because I had very little education.由于我所受的教育很少，所以我需要他的帮助。

I began school at six. The school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away.我六岁开始上学，我仅仅在那里读了两年的学校有三公里远。

I had to leave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus fare.我不得不辍学，因为我的家庭无法继续支付学费和交通费。

教材分析人教版高一年级上册必修1，Unit5, Nelson Mandela---a modern hero 的第一课，这是一节高中阅读课。

教材上这一部分主要分为四个部分：第一部分为warming up。

编者在这部分列出了很多描写人物品种的词，有褒义的也有贬义的，目的是想通过问题引导学生思考判断哪些形容词可以用来描述a great person。

第二部分是六张不同的人物图片，并附以他们的简介，主要的活动是让学生讨论if they were / are great man.由于第一、二部分联系比较紧密，活动设置也比较好，但我觉得这两部分的活动顺序可以调整一下，即把第二部分放在前面，先呈现图片和简介以引起学生注意力和兴趣，以图片展示的形式激励学生用英语进行语言实践活动，然后归纳出hero的一个模糊标准，为阅读活动做好铺垫。

然后再让他们自己说出他们所认为的a great person 所拥有的品质，这样可能更符合学生的思维习惯特点，并且有利于调动他们的积极性和培养他们说语言的能力。

因此，我决定吧第一、二部分结合在一起作为pre-reading 部分来讲，但顺序做一下调整，之后是正式人物曼德拉的登场，进入主题Alias眼中的曼德拉，重点把Nelson Mandela 挑出来，附加更多关于他的信息，稍加重点地呈现，因为他的信息与接下来的reading passage 联系非常紧密，我想通过重点呈现关于他的信息来提高给学生更多background information，帮助他们更好地理解reading text.第三部分是一个关于Elias’ Story 的reading text，属于人物传记式的阅读，但是文章的写作角度比较特别，由穷苦的黑人工人Alias叙述他眼中的曼德拉，这样的写法比较客观可信。

Alias的故事与遭遇同时也成为本文与本课的一条贯穿总线,也是这堂课的中心阅读任务。

学生要做的主要活动就是阅读并理解文章的内容和大意，同时注意一些重点细节信息的把握。

新人教高一英语必修一课本听力与视频材料原文Unit 5Languages Around the WorldListening and SpeakingTo some students, it seems that the only foreign language to learn is English. There are, however, near 7, 000 languages in the world. After Chinese, the language with the most native language speakers isn’t English----it's Spanish! Learning English is very useful, but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language, if possible.There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language. Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN. As they think it means better job chances in the future. The UN has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. They are spoken by around 2.8 billion people as their native or second languages.Some students, though, choose to study a language because of family or friends. One American girl chose to learn Danish because her grandparents were from Denmark. When she was little, her grandpa used to read letters to her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark. Another young lady started learning French because she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken.What do you think? Which other language would you choose to study and why?Listening and TalkingLISTENNG PART 1As many countries speak English as a first language, there are many different kinds of English around the world: British English, American English, Australian English, and many others. Some English learners might ask, " Can English speakers from different countries all understand each other? " The answer is yes. People in these countries can usually understand each other with very few problems. There are differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, but those are usually not big problems. However those differences can cause confusion for non-native English speakers. For example, a student who has learnt British English might not be familiar with the different vocabulary that an American might use. Listen to this conversation between a foreign language student and her American classmateLISTENING PART 2Amy: Thank you very much for helping me with my EnglishBetty:You're welcome! When are you free to meet? This semester, I’m free on Tuesday and Thursday after lunch.Amy: I’m sorry? What does “semester” mean?Betty: You know, semester---- half of a school yearAmy: Oh, you mean like a term?Betty:Yes, like a term. The British say "term". We usually say "semester" here in America.Amy:Got it! My first English lesson with you, haha? OK, let's meet on Tuesday. Where shall we meet?Betty:Let's meet at a coffee shop near my home.

There are many tales and legends about the origin of hanzi, Chinese characters: there is Cangjie, the legendary inventor of Chinese characters; the ancient practice of knot-tying: the eight trigrams; and ancient painting legends, to name a few.It is generally agreed that hanzi began as simple pictures, images that the ancient Chinese people drew, painted, or carved to describe nature or their lives. Other ancient cultures developed picture-basedwriting systems as well, such as the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt or the script of the ancient Mayan civilisation. Hanzi, however, is the only one of these ancient writing systems to survive. Today, Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world.Researchers generally agree that the oldest symbols recognisable as Chinese characters are those found on ancient oracle bones. These 3000-year-old symbols, known as jiaguwen, were carved on turtle shells or bones of animals. The jiaguwen can give all of us in the modern era insight into how ancient Chinese saw the world around them and into their great creativity in expressing their observations.Take, for example, the modern character jia, meaning home or family. The jiaguwen character looks like a house with a nice pig inside, originating from the ancient idea that a good family home has plenty food. Over thousands of years, this hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms but finally developed in a more stable manner after the unification of China under Emperor Qinshihuang.When you first look at Chinese characters, you will most likely feel that they are very complicated However, if you know just a little about how these characters are formed, you will find that they are not nearly as difficult as they seem. About 80% of Chinese characters are composed of smaller parts, known as radicals, which are combined in many different ways to form tens of thousands of hanzi. Fortunately you need to knowonly about two or three thousand characters for use in daily life.Chinese characters and Chinese culture are inseparably linked. China's unified writing system forms a strong bridge linking the Chinese people and culture of the present with those of the past. No matter when or where you live, if you can read Chinese, you can read ancient Chinese classics. It is truly an amazing thing to be able to hear the thoughts and observations of people from thousands of years ago.As China takes its place in the international community, the Chinese writing system has spread to other countries. Today, many international students are studying Chinese, both the spoken and written language, and are coming to appreciate Chinas fascinating culture. And, as China’s culture and society have continued to develop, the amazingly versatile Chinese characters (hanzi) have been adapted for use in digital format on computers and other devices And so written Chinese lives on, spreading Chinese culture wherever It goes.。
