2020届一轮复习人教版选修七Unit4Sharing单元教案(58页word版)
2020届一轮复习人教版选修七Unit 4Sharing单元教案 教材分析 本单元的话题是Sharing,主要涉及帮助弱者、志愿服务、合作分享等。通过听、说、读、写等各种活动学习相关的语言知识,使学生了解世界上很多地方依然很落后,从而懂得同情,学会分享。了解一些志愿者工作的信息,培养学生互助合作的精神和社会责任感。结合针对短文话题的探讨激发学生的国际意识,通过各种渠道力所能及地为贫困地区的孩子作出自己的贡献。 Warming Up部分是一个调查,分成三项任务:首先回顾自己曾经做过的助人为乐的好事,并采访三位同学;然后,根据调查内容列举班级同学所做的好事;最后讨论volunteer的内涵。通过这些任务,让学生懂得什么是“帮助”,反思自己是否乐于助人,以及怎样做才是“志愿者”,由此为后面的短文学习做好铺垫。 Pre-reading是Reading的热身活动。交代了阅读文章的文体(letter)和作者(a young Australian woman,Jo),还根据她在PNG拍的10张照片提出了5个问题,回答这些问题有助于学生加深理解“志愿者活动”的意义。 Reading是一篇Jo写给Rosemary的信。其中介绍Jo在PNG(Papua New Guinea)的一个小山村教书。在她写给Rosemary的信中,作者描述了该村学校的情况和去一个学生家做客的经历,使学生感受到PNG的儿 童生活处境的艰难,更加珍惜自己的学习机会。 Comprehending是根据短文设计的阅读理解试题。第一个练习要求学生读懂书信的内容,用表格的形式帮助学生整理书信中提到的关于巴布亚新几内亚村落生活及风俗习惯的信息,属于细节题。第二个练习要求学生对文中提到的五个现象进行分析,说明原因,属于细节推理题。第三个练习要求学生通过阅读分析生活在小山村中的积极面和消极面,这个练习进一步地开阔学生的思维,使学生对艰苦的生活有更深的理解。第四个练习要求学生小组活动,讨论四个问题,进一步巩固学生对于课文内容的理解,并且让学生联系自己的实际情况,通过比较校舍、教学条件、生活状况等方面的问题,引发学生的深层思考,谈谈自己是否愿意参加志愿者活动。第三、四两个练习都属于深层思考的问题。 Learning about Language分词汇和语法两部分。其中,第一部分是有关此篇短文中的重点单词和短语。设置了三个练习,一是根据所给解释从所学词汇中选择相应的单词;二是用恰当的词汇完成一篇短文;三是根据解释组成词组,并用词组编对话。第二部分是有关限制性定语从句的复习。 首先从课文中找出含有限制性定语从句的句子;然后用定语从句完成句子,对定语从句加以运用;再用含有定语从句的句子回答问题;最后是两人结对活动,进一步练习使用定语从句。 Using Language是对Reading的延伸。通过阅读,参与“Give an unusual gift”的活动。这个部分由三个部分组成,综合训练学生听说读写四个方面的能力。“读与说”通过图文结合的方式,介绍了一 些特殊的礼品——为穷人和真正需要它们的人选购礼品。阅读之后,完成两个练习:回答问题和把礼物名称和详细介绍配对。“听与说”部分是采访默里大夫的经历,以听力训练为核心设置了四个活动。1.讲述一个人的生平,用到了时间表达法;2.通过列表把握听力中的细节;3.在涉及听力内容之前让学生先就有关听力中的话题进行讨论,有助于学生快速并准确地把握听力内容;4.展开讨论,让学生思考自己将来是否愿意像默里大夫那样做个志愿服务工作者。“写作”根据“听与说”中的话题,运用时间表达方式,根据给出的6个方面对默里大夫的情况进行写作。 课时划分 在对本单元的各部分材料进行分析、整合后,确定了以下六个重点课时: 课时一:Warming Up and Listening(听力课) 从话题内容和训练目的来看,Warming Up与Using Language中的Listening and speaking比较接近,所以将Warming Up与Listening and speaking的第1、2、3题和Work book中的Listening以及Listening Task整合在一起,设计成任务型“听力课”,以训练听前预测的能力和学习用时间表达方式来介绍一个人的生平经历的方法。 课时二:Speaking(口语课) 将上一节听力课剩下的部分Listening and speaking中的第4题和Workbook中与上节课听力内容相关的Talking以及Speaking Task整合在一起,设计成“口语课”,训练学生用英语表达自己的观点, 并且说明这样做的理由。 课时三:Pre-reading and Reading(阅读课) 这篇 课文是一个志愿者的一封家书,她在巴布亚新几内亚共和国的一个小山村教书。信中详细地描述了她所在学校的情况和她去一个学生家做客的经历。通过这封信,学生可以了解巴布亚新几内亚共和国各部落的生活状况和风俗习惯,同时能够更好地理解志愿者的工作。 课时四:Grammar(语法复习课) 本单元的语法重点是复习限制性定语从句(Restrictive Attributive Clause)。学生已经学过这个语法点,所以在这节课中,首先对限制性定语从句的特征、关系词做一个简要回顾,然后通过多种形式的练习,如填写关系词、造句和翻译等,使学生逐步掌握限制性定语从句的用法。这些教学环节,如开始部分的听句子、猜同学的游戏和结束部分的翻译或写作练习,都充分体现了在语境中学习语法、在语境中运用语法的教学原则。 课时五:Reading,Speaking and Writing Task(综合运用课) 这节语言综合运用课把本单元的第二篇文章和课后练习中的写作练习组合到一起。一方面是由于这篇文章——“ 世界上最有用的礼物清单”,内容比较简单,不需要用一整节课来完成;另一方面是课后练习的写作任务——给一个被自己资助的孩子写封信,既切合本单元帮助他人的主题,题目中又已经列出了书信的结构,书信的内容也是介绍自己的学习生活,能够与学生的实际结合起来,学生写起来有话可说。 课时六:Summing Up and Learning Tip(总结复习课) 复习课分成四个板块,板块一是复习课文内容和重要的词组句型。复习课文内容可以通过根据关键词组复述课文、回答问题和学生互批作文(用100词左右写一篇介绍部落生活和风俗的文章)等活动来完成。这篇作文是阅读课的家庭作业,放在此处,既检查了作业,又有助于课文的复习。板块二是复习语言知识,主要是用翻译、填词以及句型转换来复习。板块三是总结和概括语法项目。指导学生完成表格填充、知识树,使学生在脑海中对限制性定语从句形成一个完整的概念。板块四是总结。讨论分享的意义,让学生对于本单元的主题有更加清晰完整的认识,并且由生活中的分享谈到学习上的互相合作与分享,即Learning Tip的内容。 学情分析 1.学生经过高中阶段必修1~选修6的学习,具备了一定的阅读技能,如查找细节信息,猜测词义,抓住段落要点和全文大意等,在阅读速度方面也有了较大的提高,这有助于学生较好地完成这个单元的课文阅读。同时,在听、说、写等方面也有了一定的基础。 2.这个单元的话题是分享、帮助与合作。对于高二的学生而言,他们的价值观人生观已经基本形成,要想通过一个单元的学习,完全改变学生的价值观,难度比较大,但教师可以通过本单元安排的内容,如阅读志愿者的家书,了解一些捐助机构的工作,帮助学生认识这个世界,理解互助合作的意义,即在帮助他人的过程中实现自己的人生 价值。 3.学生在这个单元的学习过程中需要用到预习策略、搜集分析信息策略、归纳整理策略及高效复习策略等。 Period 1 Warming Up and Listening 教学目标 1.语言知识目标 a.认识以下单词和短语: volunteer,clinic,challenging,over the last few years,in the future,in two weeks' time,a couple of,developing country,Medecins Sans Frontieres(MSF),Malawi,Sudan,The Fred Hollows Foundation,The Cancer Council,Youth in the City,go blind,belief b.注意以下几个重要句型: Why did Mary decide to work in a developing country?

T:Which one can be called a volunteer?Or what kind of things do volunteers do? Only those who work not for rewards—especially money and materials,and are not forced to do so are volunteers. And not only the person but also the society and the environment benefit from it. For example,Dr Mary Murray was a volunteer working for Medecins Sans Frontieres(MSF). Step 2 Pre-listening Now turn to Page 35,read Exercises 1 and 2 in Listening and speaking,and predict what you will hear in the listening material. You can also discuss with your partner. S1:Now Jennifer Wells is interviewing Dr Mary Murray about what has happened in Mary's life. S2:She once worked in a clinic in Malawi and Sudan. S3:Malawi and Sudan are developing countries. S4:Many children died when she worked in Malawi. S5:Conditions in the clinics in the Sudan were very terrible and challenging. S6:Medecins Sans Frontieres(MSF)is an organization that provides free medical care to children in poor countries. T:You see,before listening to the interview,you can get much information,if you study the questions carefully. Now let's listen to the interview. Please pay attention to the time expressions because they use time expressions to talk about Mary's life. And then number them in the order you hear them. ______ in the future ______ during the 1980s ______ for a couple of months ______over the last few years ______ for a further six months ______ in two weeks' time Step 3 Listening 1.(The teacher plays the tape and the students listen to it.)

From the interview,we know that she worked for MSF and helped people in poor areas as a volunteer. Q1:Do you think whether people like Dr Mary Murray and Professor Fred Hollows should help those in poorer areas?Give your reasons. (Four students a group and have a discussion. Then ask some of them to present their opinions and reasons.) S1:In my opinion,Dr Mary Murray and Professor Fred Hollows should help those in poorer areas. And I would like to be a volunteer if possible. Th e reason is that we,either poor or rich,live on the same planet. Just as John F.Kennedy said in his inaugural address,“If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.” S2:Humanism or humanitarianism is a necessary quality for us human beings. We should share what we have and help those who are badly in need of help. I will become a volunteer if time permits. Actually I often help those who need help. For example,every Sunday,I take my neighbour,a disabled girl,to the park to refresh herself. And we talk a lot,and I think I help her a lot,which makes me very happy. S3:I agree with them,but I think the most important thing is that we should try to help the poor to be independent instead of just giving them food and clothes. S4:I have a different idea. It's not wrong to help the poor. But according to my experience,helping the poor is not always a pleasant experience. S5:I can't agree more. I once read an article about such kind of things. The “poor” are not always so noble,and they are the hardest to deal with. People who deal with the poor can tell a hundred stories about how they waste money and opportunities. You bring food to their home and notice a large-screen TV. You give them money and they buy groceries at the nearby convenience store(where prices are very high).You have their car fixed and find out it is a Buick Skylark. Whenever you visit them,they are watching TV. S6:Maybe what you said is true. However,it is not right to let the poor fight alone with their many problems coming from poverty. Unless we do something about poverty,the problems will remain. Q2:Would you like to work as a volunteer like Dr Mary Murray in the future? Complete the table below and then share your ideas with your partner. What I would do Where I would like to go How long I would stay After the students have shared their ideas with each other,ask several students to tell the class about their ideas without looking at the chart. Samples: S1:If I'm a volunteer,I'd like to go to the western part of our country. Because many people there can't get access to clean drinking water,and quite a few develop strange diseases. I think I can help them. I know how to make water clean for them. And from my grandfather,I learned to treat some diseases with Chinese medicine. I would like to spend as many days or months as possible to help them if possible. I will work as a doctor to cure diseases. Of course,I will learn more traditional methods to treat different diseases. S2:If I'm a volunteer,I'd like to go to Africa. Because many people there are too poor to get formal education. Just because of that,many suffer from AIDS or other contagious diseases. I'd like to share my skills of being a teacher and teach them. If possible,I will work there for a year and then come back to finish my education. And then I will return to the place to work again. In this way,I can help them get the latest information about the world and about science and technology. Of course,I can also get to know Africa and African people better,in order to help them help themselves. Because I know “God helps those who help themselves.” S3:I will go to the hospital near my community. There are a lot of disabled people who have no one to help them. They are lonely and sad. I would like to talk with them,read to them,and even sing with them. In this way,I can help them get enough courage for their future life. I will go there every Sunday,and if possible,I will persuade my friends to go there with me. Then more and more people will offer help,and more and more disabled people will get help. I just want to be a volunteer,which does not need any special skills. I will learn how to take care of the elder and the sick. Step 3 Speaking task T:I'm glad that you are all willing to help others. In order to be good volunteers,what should we do?Do you know that in our country there are still a lot of children who can't go to school?And there is a project which aims to help them. What is it?(Give some information about Project Hope.) Project Hope Project Hope has brought hope to children over the past 10 years,said a national working conference held in Harbin on Saturday. Project Hope,which was first launched in October 1989,is a nationwide educational project to help mainly school dropouts in outlying,poverty-stricken areas resume their schooling. According to the latest statistics,Project Hope raised 1.78 billion yuan(US $ 214 million)by June,1999,which aided 2.209 million education-deprived children to go to school and 7549 Hope schools to be built. It is said that the past three years witnessed the largest amount of funds raised for Project Hope. The volume accounted for nearly half of the total raised in the last 10 years while the number of Hope schools built made up more than half. Since last year,the strategic focus of Project Hope has gradually been shifted from the previous widespread aid to the cultivation of excellent students and follow-up support for Hope schools. The main tasks of Project Hope in the future will concentrate on building more Hope schools,strengthening the training of teachers of these schools,equipping the schools with computers and related education software,and developing long-range education. T:Who has ever sponsored a child or is sponsoring a child from a poor area?Have your parents,relatives or friends sponsored a child through Project Hope? When you grow up and get a job,would you like to participate in Project Hope by sponsoring a child from a po or area?And why? Four students a group. Share your opinions with your partner. Try to find out reasons for your answer. If you decided to sponsor a child,how would you do it?The expression s below may be useful in your discussion. Why would you...? Because I want to share with others... The reason is that... Then... Next... Finally... How could you do that? First,find some information through... A sample discussion: S1:I would like to sponsor a child from a poor area through Project Hope. S2:Why would you like to do that? S1:Because I think school education is very important for a person,especially those in poor areas. If they fail to receive education,they will get poorer and poorer. Don't you know the saying that “knowledge changes fate”? S2:Sure I know that. But how could you do that? S1:First,find some information through newspapers and the Internet,and get in touch with some children. After knowing their conditions,we can do something to help. For example,if they can't afford the money to go to school or don't have books and schoolbags,we can use our pocket money to help them. S3:But how could you know that you are sponsoring the right child who really needs help? S4:Why don't we get in touch with China Youth Development Foundation first,and through it we can get enough information. Se:I have a good idea. We can raise money for Project Hope. First,we can make a plan for raising money. We can design a slogan “Donate for Project Hope,help children who can't go to school”.Then,we print some leaflets,telling people about Project Hope. Next,we go to parks on Sundays,and collect money for Project Hope. I'm sure we will collect a lot of money for Project Hope. Finally,we can mail the money to China Youth Development Foundation. Step 4 Talking Imagine that you have a CCC at your school and you are part of it. In groups,carry out the following tasks. Then choose a group member to present your decisions to the class. 1.List the kinds of Chinese organizations you would like to raise money for. 2.How would you raise this money? 3.List the kinds of organizations you would like to give your time to. 4.What would you do for that organization? A sample plan: As far as we know,there are many kinds of Chinese organizations that need people's donation, for example,China Charity is the country's largest charitable organization:The China Charity Federation(CCF);Red Cross Society;Song Ching Ling Foundation;China's Welfare Homes for Children;Project Hope. We would post a poster on the school bulletin board,telling the students that many children are suffering from diseases because they don't have money for medicine and that many children can't go to school because of poverty. We should try our best to help them,making the best of our pocket money. We would even get some pictures or videos about the poor. In this way ,we can raise money for these organizations. Of course,we can also get help from local TV stations and newspapers,which can reach a wide range of audience and readers. We would like to give our time to:1.The Local Orphanage 2.Home for Senior Citizens 3.Hospitals. During the summer holidays and winter holidays,we would like to spend time talking with the lonely senior citizens and taking care of them. After the Spring Festival,we would take advantage of the chance to raise money for Project Hope or other organizations. If possible,we would like to visit the orphans when we are free. But,what a pity,we usually have lessons on weekends,even on Sundays. Nevertheless,we will try our best to help. Homework: Preview the reading passage on Page 29. Finish Exercises 1 & 2 on Page 31. Period 3 Pre-reading and Reading 教学目标 1.语言知识目标: (1)学生能够正确读写及运用以下单词: airmail;fortnight;roof;muddy;textbook;concept;weekly;relevant;remote;weed;rectangle;rectangular;adjust;platform;broom;tin;jar;sniff;participate;interpreter;grill;otherwise;privilege (2)学生掌握下列词组的意思并能在句子中熟练运用: hear from;(be)dying to;the other day;dry out;dry up 2.语言技能目标: (1)强化略读、查读等阅读技能,训练通过寻找关键词、主题句等方式更快速并准确地确定文章的段落大意,理清文章的总体框架与脉络的技能。 (2)继续运用已经掌握的基本猜词技巧猜测文章中的部分单词。 3.语言能力目标: 增强阅读理解能力;发展借助图片、表格等非语言信息进行语言输出的能力。 4.情感态度与文化 意识目标: (1)帮助学生理解志愿者工作的意义,培养学生在日常生活中帮助他人、扶贫救困的爱心。 (2)在小组合作互动中,增强学生的团队合作精神与分享意识。 重点难点 1.教学重点:a.获取巴布亚新几内亚独立国各部落生活状况和风俗习惯的信息; b.阅读能力的培养和阅读技巧的训练,如精读课文完成表格填空等。 2.教学难点:a.理解作为志愿者 工作的意义,从而树立正确的价值观; b.训练用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。 课前准备 1.学生的学习准备 查找关于巴布亚新几内亚独立国的信息。学生可以通过上网等形式搜集信息,并且把搜集到的信息编成问题或写成一段文字 ,在课堂上向其他同学汇报。这提高了学生的学习兴趣,把被动的学习变成主动的学习。 2.教师的教学准备 查找关于国内外关于帮助他人的个人和组织。 3.教学环境的设计与布置 在教室里张贴班级学生参加社团活动或志愿者活动和“献爱心”捐款的照片及资料。 4.教学用具的设计和准备 制作与阅读课文相关的多媒体课件。 教学过程 Step 1 Warming up 1.Show the sign of United Nations Volunteer in China. 2.What does the word “volunteer” mean?In groups,discuss who can be called volunteers. (People who help others in their community or outside their community would be called volunteers. However,they would not be called volunteers if they help their parents,other relatives or friends.) [设计说明]通过中国青年志愿者的标志导入,因为标志中有一个手的图形,提醒学生:志愿者常常伸出手帮助别人。然后分组讨论“什么样的人才被称为志愿者”。经过讨论,学生统一了认识,知道了志愿者是指帮助与自己没有直接关联的人。这一点对于理解课文也非常重要。 Step 2 Pre-reading 1.Show the title and a map to the students and introduce some information about Papua New Guinea. (T:Now,let's read a passage about a volunteer working in Papua New Guinea—A Letter Home.) (Introduction:Papua New Guinea is situated in the Pacific Ocean,to the north of Australia. It is a poor country with a population of 5.7 million,around 80% of Papua New Guineans living in rural areas with few or no facilities such as running water and electricity. English is the official language. Because of the poverty,not all children go to school. Around 85% of children start school but about 60% of these reach Year 5.) 2.Show some pictures to the students and make them get some background information. [设计说明]由于学生对于巴布亚新几内亚独立国的情况了解不多,教师有必要在阅读课文之前介绍一些这个国家的信息,也可以布置学生在课前上网查找这个国家的资料,上课时由学生用英语汇报,或者采用“头脑风暴”或分组竞赛抢答的形式,使学生在较短的时间里掌握足够的背景资料。随后展示一些图片,既加深学生对于这个国家落后的经济、教育状况的印象,也有助于之后阅读活动的展开。 Step 3 Scanning Divide the passage into 4 parts and find out the main idea of each paragraph. Part 1(Paragraph 1) Opening of the letter and introduction to what will be talked about in the passage. Part 2(Paragraphs 2-3) The school where Jo worked and Jo's work at school. Part 3(Paragraphs 4-8) Jo and Jenny visited Tombe's home in the village. Part 4(Paragraph 9) End of the letter. [设计说明]快速阅读后要求学生分段,再找出每段的大意。如果是阅读理解能力普遍较弱的班级,教师可以把这项任务改为把各段与段落大意相搭配,如下所示: Part 1(Paragraph 1) End of the letter. Part 2(Paragraphs 2-3) Opening of the letter and introduction to what will be talked about in the passage. Part 3(Paragraphs 4-8) The school where Jo worked and Jo's work at school. Part 4(Paragraph 9) Jo and Jenny visited Tombe's home in the village. Step 4 Skimming Skim the passage and finish the following tasks: Task 1 Answer the following questions: (1)Why did Jo send Rosemary some photos? (It is difficult for Rosemary to imagine how life was hard.) (2)Why was science the most challenging subject for Jo? (Her students ha d no concept of doing experiments and there was no equipment.) (3)Why did the boys start jumping out the windows? (The boys never came across anything like the bubbling mixture.) (4)Why should it take Jo and Jenny two and a half hours to get to the village? (They had to climb up a mountain to a ridge first and then down a steep path to the village below.) Task 2 What have you learned about the customs and lives of the people in Tombe's village?Read Paragraphs 4-8 carefully and complete the table below.

[设计说明]仔细阅读是快速阅读的延续。通过阅读,查找到巴布亚新几内亚独立国里各部落居民的生活状况和风俗习惯。这也是这篇课文的重点之一。如果学生感觉难度较大,可以给出句子,只留一些关键词汇的空格让学生填写,如空出答案中的画线的单词。 Step 5 Reading aloud Read the passage aloud and underline the important phrases and difficult sentences. [设计说明]边读课文边画出重点词组和难句,加深对于课文内容的理解。而且,在程度较好的班级,在时间允许的情况下,教师可以在朗读课文结束后插入一些词汇和句型的讲解。也可以根据情况,把词组和难句放在下一节课中专门讲和练。 Step 6 Discussion 1.Why do you think Jo became a volunteer in PNG? 2.Would you like to work as a volunteer in a poor area?Give reasons. [设计说明]通过讨论Jo作为志愿者的原因,可以使学生更好地了解这个单元的主题:帮助他人、分享合作。通过第二个问题,教师可以进一步了解学生对于志愿者工作和帮助他人的看法,有利于教师进行德育教育,帮助学生树立正确的价值观。 Step 7 Homework Write a passage about 100 words to introduce the village and life in the village according to the photos and the table in Exercise.1. [设计说明] 根据图片和图表写一段关于村落情况和生活的介绍文字,既加深了学生对于课文重点段落的印象,又发展了借助图片、表格等非语言信息进行语言输出的能力。如果学生英语程度不够好,教师可以给出短文的开头几句,例如One of my students,Tombe lives in a small village in Papua New Guinea.The visit to his home impressed me...。时间允许的话,还可以在上一个讨论问题环节结束后,让学生两人一组,先轮流进行口头作文,再回家完成书面作文。 Period 4 Grammar 教学目标 1.语言知识目标:复习限制性定语从句的特点和关系词。 2.语言能力目标:能够造成含有限制性定语从句的句子,在书面表达中进行运用。 重点难点 1.教学重点:掌握限制性定语从句的特点,关系代词和关系副词使用的场合,能够运用限制性定语从句。 2.教学难点:关系代词和关系副词使用的场合,在写作中运用限制性定语从句。 教学准备 1.学生的学习准备:复习限制性定语从句的特点及关系词。 2.教师的教学准备:整理关系代词和关系副词的使用场合,并绘制表格。 3.教学用具的设计和准备:制作多媒体课件。 教学过程 Step 1 Presentation 1.A game “Guess who he/she is.”:Listen to several sentences,and then guess who he/ she is according to the description. 2.Show the sentences with the restrictive attributive clauses in the game in the screen and make the students find them out. e.g. The student is a boy who_ is_taller_than_me. The student is a boy who_is_always_ready_to_help_others_and_popular_among_the_ classmates. The student has a nickname which_is_related_to_a_lovely_animal. [设计说明] 听句子,猜猜他/她是谁的游戏,能够很快地引起学生的兴趣,活跃课堂气氛,而且,在描述中使用的一些句子带有限制性定语从句,也为限制性定语从句的呈现做好了准备。 Step 2 Revision 1.Revise the characteristics of restrictive attributive clauses.(The students can say that in Chinese.) 从形式上看,限制性定语从句与先行词(被定语从句修饰的名词或代词)之间没有逗号。 从功能上看,限制性定语从句对先行词起着修饰和限制的作用,如果去掉从句,会影响到整个主句的意思。 2.Revise the relative pronouns and adverbs of restrictive attributive clauses. the usage of the relative pronoun 关系代词 指代 在定语从句中所充当的成分 person thing Subject 主语 Object 宾语 Attributive 定语 who whom which that whose the usage of the relative adverb 关系副词 指代 在定语从句中所充当的句子成分 when time adverbial where place adverbial why reason adverbial 关系副词=介词+which 3.Revise the usage of “that”. that和which在指物的情况下一般可以互换,但在下列情况下,一般用that而不用which。 (1)先行词为all,everything,nothing,something,anything,little,much 等不定代词时。 (2)先行词被all,every,no,some,any,little,much,the only,the very,the same,the last,序数词或形容词最高级等修饰时。 (3)先行词是who或who引导的主句。 (4)主句是there be 句型时。 (5)先行词中既 有人又有物时。 注意:介词后面只能用which 而不能用that。 [设计说明] 借助第一环节中的句子,先让学生找出限制性定语从句,再复习限制性定语从句的特征和关系词的用法,尤其是关系代词that的用法,为下面的环节——关系词的运用打下基础。 Step 3 Practising 1.Fill in the blanks with the proper relative pronoun/adverb.

Now let's read the passage“The World's Most Useful Gift Catalogue”. [设计说明] 通过几个问题直接引入要学习的内容。由于第一篇课文 介绍志愿者在巴布亚新几内亚独立国部落教书的经历,所以提问What can we do for the children in poor areas or countries?学生可能会回答:Teach the children.也可能会出现这样的答案,如:Send some clothes/some money/some gifts to them.这样教师可以顺利地进入下面的问题:How can you send the gifts to them?随后进入课文的阅读。 Step 2 Reading and speaking 1.Read the passage and answer the following questions: (1)What's the passage about?(How to send a gift to those who need them.) (2)Where is the list of the gifts?(It is on the left side of the page.) (3)What's the purpose of the Internet page? (Let people give an unusual gift to the poor.)

Its 463 000 square kilometers of land area,a sea area of 3.12 million square kilometers and 600 separate islands make up one of the most diverse repositories of geographic,biological,linguistic and cultural wealth on earth. PNG has more than 5% of the world's biodiversity in less than 1% of the world's total land area. Population According to the 2000 Census,between 1980 and 2000 PNG's population grew by an annual average rate of 2.7% to 5.19 million. The Southern Highlands Province,followed by Western New Britain,recorded the highest population growth of 4.2% and 3.8% respectively. Approximately half of PNG's total population is under 19 years o ld. Most of the population lives in rural communities based on the traditional village structure and dependent on subsistence farming supplemented by cash cropping. Only 15-20% of Papua New Guineans live in the main urban areas of Port Moresby,Lae,Madang,Mt Hagan and Goroka. Economy PNG has a relatively small dual economy,comprising a formal and informal economy. The formal economy is dominated by large-scale resource projects,particularly in mining and petroleum,and provides a large proportion of government revenue. The informal economy supports 85% of the people through semi-subsistence agriculture. The formal sector employs around 15% of the workforce. PNG has an abundance of natural resources including: Large reserves of minerals Extensive forestry and fishery assets Significant potential for agricultural expansion Many beautiful locations with potential for ecological and cultural tourism. Despite the potential of these resources,PNG's economic performance has fallen short of expectations. Economic growth has not kept up with population growth and performance varies considerably from year to year. During 2004,PNG's economy grew because of buoyant commodity prices and good fiscal management by government. Increased foreign reserves and a strengthened Kina helped inflation and interest rates remain low. With moderate GDP growth,rising tax receipts and reduced government borrowing costs,the PNG Government's fiscal deficit is expected to remain small,despite a modest surplus in 2004. However,with weak medium term revenue prospects,PNG needs to consolidate and build on current economic and fiscal progress and provide social services and a regulatory framework to support broad based economic growth.PNG needs improved accountability and governance mechanisms,including public expenditure management and public sector reform,to promote and safeguard improved productivity. With mining and petroleum sector production forecast to decline from 2006,major challenges for the PNG Government include making good use of existing revenue,expanding the non-mining sector and ensuring economic stability through continued political and social reforms. Social indicators PNG's population has suffered significant declines in living standards in recent years due to worsening economic performance. Although the country does not exhibit the widespread abject poverty present in some developing countries,poor health and social indicators show that poverty is a real problem. PNG's main social indicators,such as life expectancy and maternal and child mortality rates,show improvements since 1975,but are still well below the averages for lower middle income countries(LMICs). PNG still has limited primary health care. Infectious diseases are claiming many lives,and there are serious public health risks from endemic diseases such a s malaria,and an emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic. An estimated 1.7% of people in PNG carry the virus. In education,the rate of participation in primary schooling is improving,but it remains lower than in most other countries in the region. Basic social and economic indicators Land area 452 900 km Sea area 3 120 000 km2 Capital Port Moresby Population(2000) 5.12 million Population average g rowth rate(1980-00) 2.7 per cent a year Urban population(2004) 13 per cent Total fertility rate(2003) 4.3 births per woman Life expectancy at birth(2003) 57.2 years Infant mortality(2003) 69 per 1000 live births Under five mortality rate(2003) 93 per 1000 live births Maternal mortality ratio(2002) 300 per 100 000 deliveries Malaria incidence(2000) 1688 cases per 100 000 people Population using improved water sources(2002) 39 per cent Immunisation against measles(2003) 49 per cent under 12 months Estimated HIV prevalence(2003) 1.7 per cent of total population Adult literacy rate(2002) 64.6 per cent of age 15 and above Female adult literacy rate(2002) 57.7 per cent of age 15 and above Women in government(2005) 0.9 per cent of seats Gross national income per person(2003) US$500 GDP average growth rate(2003) 3 per cent a year GDP average growth rate per person(1990-2002) 0.5 per cent a year Medicines Sans Frontiers Today MSF is the largest private urgent medical aide NGO in the world. Here are some concrete examples of what MSF does: 256 for a medical kit. Thanks to the emergency medical kit,MSF is able to be operational 24 H in any country in the world. For example the “basic” medical kit allows MSF to treat 1000 people for 3 month. It is meant for the dispensary and consists of all essential medicines,bandages and products to disinfect along with standard medical equipment. 24 to treat a cholera patient. The MSF “Cholera” kit allows MSF to face an imminent cholera epidemic. It contains 4000 L of drips,antibiotics,plasticized cover sheets,soap,disinfectant and chlorinated water as well as gloves for the nursing staff. The kit is meant to treat 625 patients and costs 14.876 or 24 per person. 179 to transport 100 kilograms of medicins. In 2000,MSF moved 1.548 tonnes of medicines,medical and logistic equipment to 35 countries. Of course costs differ from destination to destination and from type of transport to type of transport but over half of the goods are transported by plane,a quarter by boat and the rest by road. 92 to vaccinate 100 children. The MSF “vaccination” kited is adapted to treat 10.000 people. It contains refrigerators and coldpacks to ensure that the vaccines remain cold,single use needles,vaccines and medical equipment needed for 5 teams of vaccinators .All this for a total cost of 9.231.75.查看更多
