Unit1Othercountries，otherculturesReading2Thoughtsonthedesign:本节课Reading的第二个课时，主要是针对课文中出现的一些较难的单词、词组的用法和较复杂的句子结构进行详细地讲解。通过对语言点的讲解，使学生能够掌握在高中期间所要学习的语言点，能够灵活地去加以使用。考虑到语言教学的多样性和学生注意力的易分散性，本课在进行语言点的讲解时运用了多种讲解方法：有直接进行知识灌输的，有通过翻译让学生加深了解的，有给出多个句子让学生比较的，有让学生翻译的，充分地调动出学生的积极性。Teachingaims:Aftertheintroductiontotheusageoftheimportantwordsorphrases,thestudentswillbeabletoknowtheusageofthewords;Afteranalyzingthecomplexsentences,thestudentswillbeabletodeveloptheirabilitytoanalyzelongsentences;Aftervariouskindsofexercises,thestudentswillbeabletoconsolidatewhattheyhavelearntandmastertheusageofthelanguagepoints.Teachingprocedures:Step1LanguagePoints1.Canadaisoneofthelargestcountriesintheworld,secondonlytoRussia,andhasalwaysbeenfamousforitsfantasticnaturalscenery.(L1)secondto次于secondonlyto仅次于secondtonone最佳的，不亚于任何人的2.Canadahasvastareasofwilderness,fromtheArcticnorth,whereaveragewintertemperaturesareusuallyminus20degreescentigrade,tothe8,892-kilometre-longborderwiththeUSAinthesouth,whichisthelongestborderintheworldnotdefendedbyanarmyorthepolice.(L2)Askthestudentstofindoutthe2attributiveclausesinthissentence,andanalyzethetwoclauses.Askthestudentstotranslatethesentence.加拿大有辽阔的荒原，北起北极——那里的冬季平均气温通常是零下20摄氏度，南与美国比邻——边境线长达8,892千米，是世界上最长的没有军队或警察设防的边境线。Askthestudentstodothefollowingmultiplechoicestoconsolidatetheattributiveclause:①Myfavoriteroomisthetidystudywithafireplace,_____wecanwatchTVandenjoythenicesceneryoutside.(A)A.whereB.whenC.thatD.which②Thesoldiershadtosleepintheirwetclothes,_____mostuncomfortable.(B)A.whichIthinkitwasB.whichIthinkwasC.whichIthinkD.thatIthinkwas3.Therearemanywildanimalsintheforestsandonthefreezinglandsinthenorth,andfishareabundantintheseasandrivers.(L9)beabundantin=berichin富含……abundantadj.丰富的，充裕的abundancen.inabundance丰富的4.IntheheartofTorontoistheCanadianNationalTower,whichisoftencalledtheCNTowerforshort.(L21)Smallerinsize,butequallyfamous,isthecityofVancouverintheprovinceofBritishColumbiaonthePacificcoast.(L33)Askthestudentstofindoutthefunctionoftheunderlinedpartsinthetwosentences.intheheartofToronto及smallerinsize,butequallyimportant在句中做表语置于句首，主谓完全倒装。e.g.Presentatthemeetingwere20people.forshort……的缩写inshort简言之AbeshortforBA是B的缩写（简称）AbeshortofA缺乏BAskthestudentstocomparethefollowingsentences(payattentiontodifferentmeaningsoftheword“short”)e.g.MynameisAlexander.“AL”forshort.Weareshortofcoffee—Imustgetsomemore.Thebillcomesto$85,butwe’re$15short.He’sdisorganized,inefficient,nevertherewhenyouwanthim—inshort,theman’shopeless.Exercisesforconsolidation:①Smallcarsare______offuel,sotheyhavemoreappealforconsumers.(06上海)(D)A.freeB.shortC.typicalD.economical②Theshopkeepergaveus______weight:wegot9kilosinsteadof10kilos.(02上海）(B)A.scarceB.shortC.lightD.slight③—Whydidn’tyoubuythecamerayouhadlongedfor?—Ihadplannedto.ButIwas￡50______.(05福建）(D)A.fewerB.lessC.cheapD.short5.Montreal,aportintheprovinceofQuebec,isthesecondlargestcityinCanada,andalsothelargestFrench-speakingcityintheworld,Parisbeingthelargest.(L24)What’sthefunctionoftheunderlinedpart?独立主格结构Askthestudentstotranslatethefollowingtwosentencesforconsolidation.①有那个女孩带路，他们很快走出了山里。Thegirlleadingtheway,theygotoutofthemountain.②作业做完了，孩子们出去玩了。Homeworkfinished,thechildrenwentouttoplay.6.Edmonton,acityinBritishColumbia’snearbyprovinceofAlberta,ishometotheWestEdmontonMall.(L38)behometo…是……的家园/所在地中国是大熊猫的家园。Chinaishometogiantpandas.7.ThetreeitselfsuppliesCanada’smostfamousfood—maplesyrup—whichgoeswellwithpancakes.(L55)AgowithB①A和B协调Herdressdoesn’tgowiththeshoes.②同时存在疾病总是和贫穷并存。Diseaseoftengoeswithpoverty.8.Withalloftheseattractions,youcanseewhytheUNnamesCanadathebestcountryintheworldtolivein!(L58)Can“in”beomittedhere?e.g.Pleasegivemeapentowritewith.[Explanation]这一步是最重要的语言点的讲解。由于学生对这些词的用法或句子结构不是很清楚，所以每个讲解后必定附有相应的巩固练习。这些练习有翻译，有单选，有句子比较等。通过多种形式使学生对所学知识加以运用和巩固。Step2HomeworkReviewwhathasbeentaught.PreviewtheWordPower.
