高中英语 Unit 9《Technology》说课稿 新人教版必修1
高一上 Unit 9 Technology一．教材解读（Material Interpretation）通常人们忌讳“只见树木，不见森林”，然而这里我们姑且就一个单元这只林片木来想象一下那片充满神奇的森林。
从某种意义上说，这或许正是这套教材的编写者们的用意所在。
高一英语新教材的编写依然以单元为单位，但每个单元打破了呆板的块状设计，换之于流畅的线型流程，为课堂教学的灵活组织留下了更大的空间。
整个教材体现了Communicative Curriculum的指导思想。
每个单元以功能为主题，话题为支撑，结构为平台，任务为载体，意义交流为目的，充分体现了语言运用的基本思路，为任务型课堂教学构建了框架，注重提高学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力，发展学生与人沟通和合作的能力。
本单元的主题是Technology，中心话题为Hi-tech,话题本身具有强烈的时代气息，贴近学生的实际生活，符合学生的认知水平，在学生中有较强的认同感。
这一单元的交际功能项目（Functional Item）有两个：1. Describing things 2. Expressing agreement & disagreement。
结构项目（Structure）为The Present Continuous Passive V oice；主要能力项目为Reading 和Writing，其中一个阅读正篇，两个Language Input, 要求学生学会阅读并在阅读中培养根据上下文或构词法理判断词义的能力，同时学会写信并在信中阐述问题的症结，发表自己的观点。
拓展项目为如何运用高科技获取更多英语信息，提升英语学习，并探究科技为人类带来便利的同时可能存在的负面影响以及消除这些影响的解决办法。
二教学目标(Instructional Objectives)通过教学，学生能描绘一些日常用品（如第一课时的A Guessing Game 和Describing and Drawing），发现一些问题，发表个人观点，努力解决问题（如第二课时的Problems and Solutions，Role Play和A TV Chitchat Program: Help is on the Way）；能学会与他人交流和合作（如第三课时中的Designing and advertising a new model of cell phone for Chinese high school students）；能学会寻找适当渠道解决实际问题（如第四课时中的A Letter of Complaint to the Headmaster）；能自己学会学习，在学习中建立输入假设，在实践中验证假设，并最后修正假设(如第四课时的对The Present Continuous Passive V oice的学习)；能懂得基本的一些学习策略，并运用这些策略提高在一定的context 中对一些较难词义的推断能力（如第五课时中的Word and Strategy）；能运用高科技获取更多英语信息，提升自己的英语学习(如第三课时中的Story Sharing和第六课时的Essay Writing)；能探究高科技为人类带来文明和便利的同时可能存在的负面影响以及消除这些影响的解决办法（如第五课时中的Talk about the advantages and disadvantages of cellphones, robots, computers etc.）；能在研究性的学习中进行自我反思，培养公民意识、社会责任感和全球观念（如第五课时中的A Probe into the Cause of Teenagers’ Addiction to Cyber Café和第六课时中的To Be a Technology-driven Human or not to Be）；能在不断的反思中领悟并懂得人类追求高科技的根本目的，倡导人与人之间的友爱和真情（如第六课时中的写给未来控制了人类的巨能电脑Q12 的题为Love is the Everlasting Topic of the World的信）。

Unit 9Section A 2dA: I went to the film museum last weekend. Have you ever been there? B: Yes, I have . I went there back in April.A: It's really interesting, isn't it? It's a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.B: Yes, I love all the old movie cameras there. I learned about the inventions that led to color movies, too.A: So, what did you do on the weekend?B: I camped in the mountains with some friends.We put up a tent and cooked outside.A: That sounds fun. I've never been camping.B: You should try it!3aKen: The most interesting museum I have ever been to is the American Computer Museum. They have Information about different computers and who invented them. The old computers were much bigger. It is unbelievable that the technology has progressed in such a rapid way!I have also learned that there was a special computer. It's could play chess even better than humans. I wonder how much more computers will be able to do in the future.Amy: I have recently been to a very unusual museum in India, the International Museum of Toilets. I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw so many different kinds of toilets there. The museum teaches people about the history and development of toilets. It also encourages governments and social groups to think about ways to improve toilets in the future.Linlin: Last year I went to the Hangzhou national team museum. It's a relaxing and peaceful place near a lake. The tea art performances show how to make a perfect cup of tea with beautiful tea sets. Watching the tea preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea itself. I have finally realized why my grandpa loves drinking tea and collecting tea sets.Section B 2bSingapore---A Place You Will Never Forget Have you ever been to Singapore? For thousands of tourists from China, this small island in southeast Asia is a wonderful and safe place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of the time. On the other hand, Singapore is an English- speaking country, so it's also a good place to practice your English!Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China? Maybe you fearthat you won't be able to find anything good to eat when you travel. In Singapore, however you will find a lot of food from China; you won't have any problem getting rice, noodles or dumplings. Singapore is also an excellent place to try new food.Whether you like Indian food, Western food or Japanese food, you will find it all in Singapore!Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has a Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than in a normal zoo.One great thing about Singapore is that the temperature is almost the same all year round. This is because the island is so close to the equator.So you can choose to go whenever you like---spring, summer, autumn or winter.And, of course, it's not too far from China!。
研究生英语课文翻译Unit 9
Pollution is a dirty wordThe earth is our home.we must take care of it,for ourselves and for the next generation.This means preserving the quality of our environment.地球是我们的家，为了我们和我们的下一代我们必须保护她。
这意味着我们要保护我们环境的质量。
The importance of this task is stressed by scientists who study the relation of man to nature.These scientists are called ecologists,from the Greek word oikos,which means home.Ecologists are responsible for keeping the land,air and water clean.”How are we doing?”an ecologist was asked recently.”Lousy,the scientist said,sniffing the fume-laden air.”We’re got to do a better job-and soon-or it will be too late.”研究人与自然关系的科学家强调了这个任务的重要性。
这些科学家被称为生态学家，这个词源于希腊语oikos，意思是家。
生物学家对保护土地、空气和水源的洁净负有责任。
一个生物学家最近被问到：“我们做的怎么样？”他嗅着满是烟雾的空气回答说：“很差劲，我们必须要做的更好，否则很快就会太迟了。
”Consume,consume,consume!Our society is consumer oriented-dangerously so.To keep the wheels of industry turning,we manufacture consumer goods in endless quantities,and ,in the process,are rapidly exhausting our natural resources.But this is only half the problem.What do we do with manufactured products when they are worn out?They must be disposed of,but how and where?Unsightly junk-yards full of rusting automoniles already surround every city in the nation.Americans throw away 80 billion bottles and cans each year,enough to build more than ten stacks to the moon.There isn’t room for much more waste and yet the factories grind on.They cannot stop because every one wants a job.Our standard of living,one of the highest in the world,required the consumption of manufactured products in ever-increasing amounts.Man,about to be buried in his own waste,is caught in a vicious cycle.”Stop the world ,I want to get off.”is the way a popular song put man’s dilemma.消费，消费，消费！我们的社会是以消费者为中心的，而这是非常危险的。

Mom: That's for sure. To think there are kids her age who have never changed a TV channel without a remote control! Can you imagine?
Dad: I'm sure you're right. Hey, remember our old computer?
2. What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?

My favorite question, lately, is why scientific research? The most basic answer is because I want to contribute something to the society that I have been taking from all my life, and I want to help animals somehow. But then the answers become the question. What could I possibly contribute, and how will my research help animals?

Unit 9 Science and Technology新编大学英语第二版第四册课文翻译
Unit 9 Science and TechnologyToo Fast?People who were born just before World War I remember waving at automobiles as they passed. Seeing a car was like watching a parade—exciting and out of the ordinary. The airplane—it was spelled "aeroplane" then—was another new invention. Refrigerators were "iceboxes," and a man delivered the ice for the box in the summer and the coal for the stove in the winter. Now, the iceman, like the blacksmith, survives only in literature.Today, change comes so fast that working people can become obsolete because their occupations vanish in the middle of their lives. Knowledge, and thus the rate of change, increases geometrically. Every idea gives birth to a dozen new ones, and each of them has a dozen children. The people of the pre-World War I generation had hardly assimilated the inventions of that era before they were attacked by a new batch of even more sophisticated inventions. The Atomic Age dawned in 1945, August 6 to be exact, and then, before we could catch our breath, the Space Age arrived.Change was not always this rapid. Certain important inventions, like the telephone, the airplane, the automobile, and the radio, had been invented by 1914, but the effects of these inventions upon the lives of ordinary citizens were not felt until many years later. We now have the technology to develop machines before people are ready to use them. For example, we have the technology to enable people to pay their bills by phone—but even people with phones resist. The change is too much too fast. People don't want to talk to machines, especially if the machines talk back to them.It is certain that technology, especially computer technology, will rule our lives to a greater and greater degree. This situation will not necessarily prove positive or negative in effect. Many people would be more comfortable if change came more slowly, but on the other hand, there are many for whom every innovation is like a new toy. They can't wait for the next invention to be available. When scientists talk about the remarkably adaptable nature of people, they probably have these people in mind.But there is a limit to everyone's ability to adapt. What will happen to us when change comes so rapidly that we can no longer adjust to it? These same scientists who talk about our adaptable nature also tell us that change is to some degree emotionally painful to everyone. What then, will happen to us when change comes so rapidly that we can no longer stand the pain, and we refuse to change?We have read a lot about scientific and technological change, but that is only part of the picture of modern life. There is often a great lag between scientific discovery andcultural acceptance. For example, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, proposed over one hundred years ago and accepted by all serious scholars for generations, is still rejected by large segments of society. These segments see science as contradicting a higher religious authority. They see science as questioning and destroying their beliefs and culture.The problem is not easily solved because it is in the nature of science to question, and it is in the nature of human beings not to want to question the things they believe in. Science is not merely a field of study like chemistry or physics or biology. Science is a method of looking at the world, a method that requires an open mind, objectivity, and proof based upon observation or experimentation. It is a method that ignores religion, race, nationality, economics, morality, and ethics. It pays attention only to the results of research. The scientific method has shown us endless marvels and wonders, but methods can't provide all the answers. Science cannot tell us whether or not to drop a bomb: That is a moral or political question. Science only tells us how to make one.As we have already said, technological innovations are being made at faster and faster rates. The future will be even more revolutionary than the past. Will we, as a species, survive the revolutions that we have begun? There is plenty of evidence to think that we will. Our species has enormous potential that we have just begun to use. For example, we have only begun to control the environment. One day technology will make every desert bloom. It's simple, really. To do so, all we need to do is lower the cost of converting sea water into fresh water. Then, when the deserts bloom, will they provide enough food for our growing numbers? Most likely, they will. We have only just begun to discover the possibilities of highly intensive desert agriculture. We already have the technology to increase production ten times and to use one-twentieth of the water we needed before.We know how to make agricultural miracles. What we need are the time and money to make the technology available to everyone.In the nineteenth century, people believed in progress. They believed that science would lead them to a new era of endless prosperity and happiness. Well, it didn't work out that way. Two disastrous world wars convinced people of that. Yet, in our disappointment and in our fears that science was a monster that would one day destroy us, we forgot that science was not the monster; we were the monster. Science was merely a servant, and like fire, a good servant when treated properly.Despite all the problems of the modern world, however, most people would not choose to live in any of the less scientific ages that have preceded ours. If—and this is abig if—we don't destroy ourselves in war, the future can only be better. Each year will bring a more bewildering array of scientific advances: diseases cured, space conquered, transportation and communication revolutionized, agriculture and industry completely transformed, etc. To some, the future sounds exciting; to others, frightening. But one thing is sure—it won't be boring.太快了？1 在第一次世界大战前夕出生的人仍然记得看到身边经过的汽车就挥手的情景。
