篇一：Houses in the Future

Houses in the Future but I should think they'll be (2) so that you don't need so much (3)as you do now, so perhaps very economical (5) Perhaps they will use although I don't know, in this country, perhaps we (7) to do that so much. Yes, I think they'll be full of (8) things like very advanced televisions, videos, perhaps videos which take up ... the screen (9) whole wall. I should think. Yes, you'll have things like (10) which open automatically when you (11) perhaps electronic (12) you when you, when you come to the front door even. Perhaps (14) and designers will be a bit more (15) about how houses are designed and perhaps with the (16) people will think of putting gardens (17) and maybe rooms can be (18) and, and (19) depending on what you use them for, so perhaps there'll be a bit more (20) about that.

My Mother

My mother was an efficient (1) who cooked, cleaned and shopped for nine people (2) . She was a disciplinarian* who would (3) seven kids walk up and

down the stairs a hundred times if we clumped like (4 to-dinner. She also enlisted us to help her in the day's (5)

My mother believed that each of her children had a special

(6) that made him or her invaluable on certain (7) My brother Mike, for example, was believed to have especially (8). He was hoisted up as a human (9) whenever she needed to see something (10) . John was the climber when a kite (11). My own job was navigator for our (12) old Chrysler. But my mother's (13) to get work done well was only (14). She also had an (15) that carried her in different directions. That (16) her to transcend her everyday life. She did not (17) magic as portrayed on a stage, but (18)(19) a hose, or the persistence of a dandelion at the (20) a woodpile.

Wildlife

Every ten minutes, one kind of animal, plant or insect (1) for ever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today will have become (2) twenty years from now.

The seas are in danger. They are being filled with (3):

industrial and nuclear waste, chemical fertilizers and (4), sewage. If nothing is done about it, one day soon nothing will be able to (5) the seas.

The tropical rain (6) which are the home of half the earth's living things are (7). If nothing is done about it, they will have (8) in twenty years. The effect on the world's (9) - and on our agriculture and food (10) - will be disastrous.

(11)somebody is trying to do something about it. In 1961, the (12) was founded - a small group of people who wanted to (13) to save animals and plants

Stephen Powelson’s Amazing Memory

When Stephen Powelson was nine, his school organized a (1) (2) no attention until he was chided* for (3) not competing. The next Sunday he surprised everyone by (4) reciting all the passages for the

(5) entire year.

As a teenager in prep school, Stephen took Greek. His teacher (6) assigned 21 lines of the Iliad* to be memorized (7) in a week. At the end of the hour - though he (8) insisted he paid full attention to the

(9) lecture(10) 100 lines.

In 1978, for the first time (11) since college, Powelson, now 60, had some (12) spare time. To keep his mind active, he reread the Iliad and (13) discovered that he still knew the first 100 lines (14) by heart.

That someone could memorize so much between ages 60 and 70 is (15) astonishing to most people, who are (16) convinced that memory (17) worsens as we grow older.

Powelson's method is to (18) read a book into his tape recorder, then read it several more times, making sure he understands (19) each word. "Also," he says, "I attempt to (20) visualize myself as part of the action." In the past we watched the wind closely. (1) knew that game moved (2) the winds, that keeping the wind in (3) was essential to a successful (4) . Farmers knew that changing winds brought (5)

Polynesian* sailors could find islands beyond the (6) by lying on their backs in their (7) and feeling the swells* caused by winds (8) islands many miles away. Eskimos could (9) in Arctic whiteouts*, when fog or snow

(10) all landmarks, by following remembered currents of air over the snow and ice.

Today few people can tell where the wind comes from. We live inside walls, (11) chrome and glass, and the winds outside are often (12) our own making - the wake of (13) , the tunneling of air down narrow city streets. We get our weather (14, not from the wind behind us. We hear the wind as house sounds: the (15), the scratching of branches at a window (16), the moan of a draft under the (17). These are pop music, not the (18)of the wind, which is the collision of leaf and blade, the (19of branches under stress, the (20) of ocean waves.

Wind and Spirit

We do notice the wind when it seems (1), when the trees turn away from it, and it (2) cuts into our hearts. "Certain winds will make men's (3) temper bad", said George Eliot. In Southern California, the Santa Ana is (4) associated with an increase in

Robots have come a long way since 15th century. We’ve got robots to build cars, carry heavy things, work in dangerous places and explore planets. But things haven’t stopped there.

In1986, Honda made a robot called ASIMO. And now, it has been developed greatly. Standing at 130cm and weighing 54kg, ASIMO is very much like a small astronaut wearing a bag on the back. And he can walk, fight, climb and run fast. Isn’t it wonderful?

The world’s first robot teacher is Saya. With her human-like face, she can show expressions like happiness, surprise, sadness, dislike, fear and she can even smile or show anger at students, which look much like a real teacher’s. To do this, her rubber skin is pulled from the back with motors inside. And her eyes and mouth have wires(电线) too. She can also say some simple words like “hello” or “thank you”.

In the UK, the development of robots is exciting. The mini-robots will send food, clean floors, collect and throw away waste. These robots can open doors by themselves and stop if anything or anyone is in the way.

These mini-robots are very useful for controlling infection(传染).Usually clean and dirty work is done by the same person, but here, you’ll have robots that do “dirty work”, like collecting dirty sheets, or taking away hospital waste; and you’ll have robots that do “clean work”, like bringing meals or clean sheets to patients. The robots have separate work so there’s no way for infection, which is great. But of course, robots would not take the place of humans, but would free up more time for nurses to be with patients.

答案与解析

Ⅰ. 1. speeded up 2. speed things up 3. was swallowed up 4. swallow his words Ⅱ.1.（1）representative; representative （2）representing

2.（3）settled; settlement; settlers （4）settle down （5）settlement

Ⅲ.1. A 句意：她没有犹豫而是立刻回答了问题。

in an instant 立刻，马上；in fact 事实上；in the end 终于，最后；in addition 另外。

2. B 不定式作目的状语，说明取钱的目的。 3. A 考查倒装。表示方位的地点状语放在句首，且主语为名词Chongqing，句子要完全倒装，所以选A项。

4. D 句意：生活像长跑比赛，我们与其他人竞争以超越自我。本题考查定语从句。先行词为a long race，代入定语从句后为：We compete with others to go beyond ourselves in the long race.由此可见，in the long race 在定语从句中作地点状语，故D项正确。 5. D as long as “只要”；by the time “到??时候为止”；even if “尽管；即使”；the instant “一??就??”。由句意可知D项正确。 6. D 句意：一瞬间，泥土与沙子吞没了那些房屋。swallow up 意为“吞没”，符合句意。blow up炸毁，给某物充气；make up 组成；bring up 提出。 7. A 句意：“鲍勃，你认为教学工作怎么样？”“我觉得它既有趣又具有挑战性。教学工作是一份严肃但有趣的工作。”此题考查定语从句。先行词为a job。从句中所填词相当于in the job，故用关系副词where。

8. A 句意：我们应该把所有的瓶子和报纸重新利用。recycle回收，重新利用；throw 扔掉；

cycle 骑自行车；store 储存。根据句意可知A项正确。 9. C 句意：比赛快要开始了。让我们快点儿吧。考查动词短语辨析。hurry on 喋喋不休；go on 继续；speed up 加速；sweep up 扫过。 10. B 考查名词词义辨析。goods“货物”；material“材料”；purpose“目的”；cost“成本；花费”。C项为不可数名词时谓语动词应用单数形式。由题意可知B项正确。

11. A settle与主句的主语their fierce quarrel 之间构成动宾关系，排除B、D两项；C项表示他们之间的争吵正在被解决，与题意不符，故A项为最佳选项。过去分词在此处表示完成和被动。

12. B 句意：与会的代表们大部分赞同这项政策。representative用作名词，意为“代表”，指人，是可数名词；representation用作名词，意为“代表，支持”，为动词represent 的名词形式，是不可数名词。显然B项正确。 13. D 考查形容词词义辨析。exciting“让人感到兴奋的”；casual“随便的”；absent-minded“心不在焉的”；greedy “贪婪的”。由题意可知D项正确。

14. B 考查倒装句。介词短语（作地点状语）放在句首，且主语a tall man 为名词，因此该句采用完全倒装语序，即：状语+谓语+主语，故选B。 Ⅳ.1. considered 2. typists; typewriter 3. efficient 4. representative 5. swallowing 6. settlement 7. instantly 8. limited; limit Ⅴ. 1~5 CBACD 6~10 BBCAD 11~15 CDBDA 16~20 DCBDA

A. demanded B. hoped call me Bob for short. A. then B. instead C. however D. but

3. The UN the United Nations. Shen at the congress.

4. know?

5. We haven’t heard from Diana for a long time. What A. has happened to B. to happen to C. has happened on D. was happening to

6. chance to improve your spoken English. A. take the advantage of B. take an advantage of C. take advantage of D. take use of

7. The message is very important, so it is supposed A. to be sent B. to send C. being sent D. sending 8. —You should apologize to her, Barry.

— ________ , but it’s not going to be easy. A. I suppose so B. I feel so

C. supposed D. suggested

10. rain soon. A. probable B. possible C. likely D. perhaps

11. it better. A. so B. while C. however D. instead

12. A. represent B. stands for C. are represented D. represent for

13. Living abroad for some years made him have A. advantage B. benefit C. interest D. disadvantage

14. and directors. A. hoped B. promised C. considered D. regarded

15. When the bus conductor asked me to pay for the A. having B. to have C. had D. and had

16. The trouble is that there are not many students who really know how to make use of their time to A. benefit B. value C. advantage D. profit

答案与解析

1. D 本题中however 为连接副词，修饰形容词late，后面的从句应该用陈述语序。

2. D then, instead, however都是副词，只有D项为并列连词，表转折。

3. D 本题考查represent 与stand for 的词义辨析。前句的主语为the UN,我们都知道它是the United Nations 的缩写形式，即它代表the United Nations, 故第一空应用stand for, 而represent 则强调“代表”或“代言”之意。 4. C 本题考查consider 的用法。由于consider 表示“考虑，打算”，其后接动名词，因此本题易误选A 或B。但是这里的consider 用作被动语态，其后内容应是补充说明who的。由于invent的动作在consider之前发生，故应用不定式的完成式。

5. A happen 后应接to，此题应用现在完成时态表示与现在有关的情况。本题是一个特殊句型，为双重疑问句，做题时也可把do you think 看作插入成分来处理。

6. C 本题考查固定短语的含义和用法。句意为“既然你要去美国，你一定要利用这次机会来提高你的英语口语”。take advantage of 意为“利用”，符合句意。

7. A 考查固定搭配与语态。be supposed 后接动词不定式，而后一分句中的it 指代前文的the message，与send之间是被动关系，故空格处应填动词不定式的被动形式。

8. A I suppose so为简略答语，意为“我认为如此”。

9. C be supposed to do...意为“应该做??”, 符合题意。

10. C 根据题意可知，下雨的可能性很大，因此排除B项；probable 后不能跟不定式，故排除A项；perhaps 为副词，不能说It’s perhaps to do...，故排除D项；It is likely to..., 很可能??，符合题意，故选C项。

11. C 句意：你的作业做得很好，可是，你可以做得更好。however “然而，可是”，通常用作转折副词，符合句意。 12. A “代表，表示”可用represent或stand for 表达，represent 为及物动词。B项主谓不一致。 13. A 从句意分析可知，此处应用表示“有利的因素、优点”的词。

14. C 空格后有to be，只有consider可用于这种搭配，构成be considered to be，意为“被认为是??”，其他选项均无此种用法。

15. B 此处happen后接不定式表示“碰巧”。 16. C 句意：问题是并没有很多学生真正懂得怎样最有效地利用时间。advantage 优势、优点，to the best advantage 为固定搭配，意为“最有益，最有效”。

篇四：Unit 3 life in the future说课稿

高二必修5 Unit 3 life in the future说课稿

尊敬的评委：

早上好。今天我说课的主题是必修五第三单元 life in the future，第一篇课文 First impressions。我准备从教材，学情，教学，学法，教学过程，板书设计六方面来说。

一．说教材

1. 未来生活在必修5中是一个重要话题。本课是一节泛读课，First impressions 讲述了李强如何安全到达“未来世界”以及在“未来”的第一印象。本课在提高学生的阅读能力上起着非常重要的作用。教材设计这样一个话题，不仅是为了提高学生的语言技能，也是为了拓宽学生的视野，激发学生的学习兴趣。

2. 新课标提出：英语课程的学习，既是学生通过英语学习和实践活动，逐步掌握英语知识和技能，提高语言实际运用能力的过程；又是他们陶冶情操、拓展视野、丰富社会经历、开发思维能力和提高人文素养的过程。学习英语是人的发展的一部分，体现更多的人文精神。

的情感，并有自己的见解。

二．说学情

高二的学生已掌握一定的词汇量，也有自己独立的思想，普遍对新鲜事物感兴趣。但大部分学生阅读能力差，对英语缺乏兴趣，也缺乏信心，所以本节课要以增强学习英语的兴趣和自信为出发点，以提高学生的阅读能力为目的。在教学设计上一定要由浅入深，层层递进。设计不同的教学活动让大部分学生参与进来，享受小组合作的快乐。

基于教材和学情分析本课教学目标:

知识目标：让学生理解课文中心大意，并在文中巩固一些重要的词，短语，

句子。

能力目标：提高学生的预测，略读，查读，推断等阅读技巧。

情感目标：激发学生学习英语的兴趣，热爱生活，提高小组合作意识。 教学重难点：掌握未来生活与现在生活的不同，提高推断阅读技巧；理解作者对未来生活

三．说教法和学法

在教学中兴趣是最好的老师，在文中巩固词汇才具有生命力，高中提高学生各种阅读技能是重点。新课程还强调学生是学习的主人，教师只是引导者，要让学生积极主动参入。所以我采用了：

1. 多媒体的使用，采用视频情境导入。

2. 略读（借助图片，每段首尾句），（带着中心词）查读 ，推断（根据课文提供

的信息）

3. 任务型教学法： 围绕课文设计预测，连线，填词。TorF，翻译难句，选择，讨论等不同形式的活动。

4，独立思考， 同桌、小组讨论和合作的学习方法

5. 学案辅助教学

四．说教学设计：

Teaching Design

Step1. Lead-in

Step2.Reading

1) Predicting

2) Fast reading

3) Careful reading

Step3. Deep Comprehending

Step4. Discussion

Step5. Summary

Step6. Homework

具体步骤如下：

Step1 lead-in

导入环节使用了视频， 电影<变人中>的一小段。主要是让学生对未来生活展开想象力，引起兴趣. 然后反问Do you want to know more about future?接着用一些图片吸引学生。最后反问do you want to travel to future now? Step2. Reading

1. Predicting (预测环节主要是让学生利用课文的图片思考文章中有可能出现的内容。这样是为了激活学生相关的背景知识，培养学生对阅读的预测能力。)

2. Fast-reading

（快速阅读设计了两个活动。 一是回答问题，二是连线匹配各段的中心大意。是为了提高学生的略读技能。带着问题，中心词去文中查找） Task1. Answer questions

1.Whose first impressions are these?

2. Who guided my trip?

3. How did he get to the year 3008?

Task 2: Match the main idea of each paragraph.

Para.1 Staying in Wang Ping’s home

Para.2 My impressions of life in AD 3008

Para.3 How I came to take a time travel journey

Para.4 The journey

3. Careful-reading

（仔细阅读设计了两个活动。在学生对文章有了整体了解的情况下，需要对细节进一步掌握。这个环节通过小组活动一是为了让学生重点理解将来生活与现在生活的不同之处，二是为了进一步提高学生的细节查读能力。）

Task1. Fill in the blanks

A large earthquake hit Hebei province in northern China on 10th January 1998. The earthquake was very powerful. It measured 6.2 on the Richter scale. Fifty people died in the earthquake, and thousands more were injured or made homeless. Over 100,000 houses were destroyed or damaged.

January is usually the coldest month of the year in Hebei. Temperatures often fall to minus 30°C and cold winds blow both day and night. Bad weather conditions made life difficult and dangerous, especially for people made homeless by the earthquake. The victims urgently needed warm clothes, food, shelter, first aid and medicine.

The Red Cross was one of the first groups to provide help to the victims of the earthquake. The Red Cross Society of China immediately sent medical teams and food and clothes to the disaster area. In Hong Kong, donations from the HKSAR Government and from Hong Kong residents totaled over RMB 54 million.

This money bought blankets, coats, jackets, tents, food and medicine for the Hebei survivors. Also, mainland soldiers quickly arrived in Hebei. In the weeks after the earthquake, they helped to build more than 10, 000 temporary homes.

Unfortunately, natural disasters are not uncommon in China. In 1997, for example, more than 3,200 people were killed and 2.87 million homes destroyed as a result of disasters. The Red Cross will continue to help disaster victims by offering them relief. 36. The earthquake in Hebei was _____.

When newspapers and radios report the damage caused by a hurricane（飓风）called Hazel, the girl whose name is Hazel is probably teased (逗乐) by their friends. To keep out of trouble, the Weather Bureau says, “Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is only accidental（巧合）.”

Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They don't even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girls' names for hurricanes.

In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character（特征） of its own. Each follows its own way through the world, and people remember it long after it has gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes names, and to talk about them almost as if they were alive.

41. What happens to girls named Hazel when hurricane Hazel is reported?

A. They suffer from hurricanes. B. The Weather Bureau looks for them.

C. Others often make fun of them. D. They can't find boyfriends.

42. What does the word “resemblance” mean in the sentence “Any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is just accidental.”?

A. sameness B. success C. difference D. trouble

43. Public opinions make the Weather Bureau _____.

A. stop naming hurricanes after women B. go on naming hurricanes after women

C. name hurricanes after men D. look for a new method to name hurricanes

44. It is natural to give hurricanes names because _____.

A. they become old and die B. all of them should be remembered

C. each hurricane has its day to come D. each hurricane has its own character

45. According to the passage, which is more reasonable?

A. Some women feel unhappy because hurricanes are given their names.

B. All the hurricanes are caused by women.

C. Many women want to be reported by TV and newspaper.

D. A hurricane grows and develops in the same way as a person.

Text C

It is the duty of every one to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or to steal. Every boy, when he is young, should learn how to do some useful work.

But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put his heart and soul completely into his work, and not waste his spare time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old!

There is no better help to diligence (勤奋) than the habit of early rising, and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying “Lost time never returns”. This means that everybody must be diligent and make good use of his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one's country. Those who are diligent will never become beggars. Therefore, we can say that diligence is the mother of success.

46. From the passage, we know that those who are too lazy to work will______.

A. waste their time.
