1、Unit 11 Scientific Achievements I教学内容分析 从爱迪生到比尔盖茨，从电的发现到太阳能的利用，科技的每一步发展都给人类的生活带来了质的飞跃，而这一切的发展都离不开人类坚持不懈的探索，离不开科学家们日日夜夜的奋斗。是大自然的奥秘吸引着他们，是科学的精神支撑着他们，是人类一次次的飞跃激励着他们，为此他们创造着一个又一个历史的奇迹。 本单元的中心话题就是“科学成就”，它围绕着科学理论、科学发现等展开一系列的话题。 Warming up部分通过三个问题，要求学生对于图片旁边列举的科学成就展开讨论。首先判断出对世界改变最大的科学成就，并给出适当的理由；第二个问题是考查学生
2、对于科学成就的了解程度，这样的问题设计有利于学生打开自己的思路，搜索并检查自己的知识面；第三个问题主要是通过比较，让学生了解科学成就对人类发展的重要性和贡献，激发学生投身于科学研究的激情，这样对学生的教育就上升到了思想层面，比较深刻。 Listening的第一部分通过对三个为科学做出过巨大贡献的人的语言描写，让学生填写表格，描述他们的功绩；第二部分主要是培养学生获取重要信息的能力，并就其内容将句子补充完整；第三部分是三个假设，给我们的科学探索带来新的动力和激情。 Speaking组织了一个科学研究项目经费申请的口语训练。从口语训练的重点来说主要是为了训练如何表达一个人的意愿和愿望。其中有五个角
3、色，一个是项目研究经费调配负责入，另外四人分别有意致力于以下工程的研究：艾滋病的治疗、克隆技术的利用、干旱地区种植技术的开发和人造卫星的太空旅行。四人各自陈述观点，最后由一人评判结果。这样的设计给我们的同学创设了真实的语言环境，使学生可以在较为真实的情况下锻炼交流能力。 Pre-reading部分设计了三个问题。第一个问题是探索科学研究的环境；第二个问题是讨论科学成就的重要性：科学成就是如何影响我们的生活和整个社会的；第三个问题是谈论科学家致力于科学研究的目的和意义。 Reading介绍中关村的形成、发展及其重要意义。中关村是中国科研的基地和科技人才的摇篮。第一部分讲述了中关村是中科院和几所著
4、名大学的集中地；第二部分谈论中关村是海外学子实现他们梦想的地方。 Post-reading部分主要是对课文的细节做进一步介绍，共设计了5个选择题。第一部分根据课文回答问题；第二部分设计了一个比较性的题目，要求比较中国的中关村和美国的硅谷，并写出相似和不同的地方。 Language study分两部分。一是巩固文中的词汇，选择词义相近的词汇；二是学习语法知识，构词法分：前缀、后缀、合成和缩写四种，并进行一定的训练。 Integrating skills集阅读和写作于一体。首先是阅读一篇关于各个科技领域发展的文章；其次是设计了一个真实性的任务：某杂志要求你挑选你所认为的最伟大的科技成就，陈述你的理
