林素芬人教版必修一Unit 5 Nelson Mandela单元教案
Unit 5 Nelson Mandela——a modern heroI.教学内容分析本单元的中心话题是当代英雄纳尔逊·曼德拉。
有别于一般故事的直叙手法,本单元采用穷苦的黑人工人伊莱亚斯叙述他眼中的曼德拉的手法,从不同的侧面反映故事的主题内容。
第一篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯向我们介绍1952-1963年期间的曼德拉。
第二篇听力短文伊莱亚斯讲述了他为了争取与白人有平等的权利而参加了曼德拉的非洲国民大会青年联盟。
第三篇阅读短文伊莱亚斯说到他在罗本岛监狱得到了曼德拉的帮助,非国大(ANC)掌权后,伊莱亚斯又回到罗本岛监狱担任导游。
这样的写法尽可能剔除作者的主观看法,留给学生更多的思考空间,启发学生自己去思考,主动地表述对自己心目中英雄人物的看法。
Warming up部分通过学生的讨论,了解彼此及对伟人的品质看法。
这部分的词汇都与学生的日常生活和学习有关,所以能调动学生讨论的积极性,同时了解学生的特点,达到热身的效果。
Pre-reading部分提供了六个重要的历史人物,这可以作为对学生知识面开阔与否的考察;同时借助有效的文字信息,要求学生读懂每个人的基本情况。
通过讨论区分伟人和重要人物,理解伟人、重要人物之间的区别和联系,判断他们中谁能称得上是伟大的人。
Reading部分是伊莱亚斯介绍的1952-1963年期间的曼德拉:开设黑人律师事务所,为遇到麻烦的穷苦黑人提供咨询服务;以和平的方式来获取黑人应有的权利。
Comprehending部分分别从不同层面引导学生进行阅读。
通过判断正误,检测学生对阅读篇章的表层来理解程度;通过小组讨论,回答问题;根据不同的时间,分别列出曼德拉和伊莱亚斯的经历,要求学生充分的把握文章的结构。
Learning about Language部分主要着重于词汇和语法的学习与训练。
词汇学习部分主要通过词语释义、缺词填空等形式的练习,帮助学生熟悉重点词汇和短语。
语法部分紧扣“when, where, why,介词+which,介词+whom引导的定语从句”这一语法项目,重点学习如何选择合适的引导词,通过填空以及举例的形式进行综合操练。

Unit 5 Nelson Mandela-a modern hero单元测试Ⅰ. 阅读理解AI travel a lot in my work, and what I dislike about my job is eating alone. It always makes me feel lonely to see others laughing and talking. So, room service for several nights was a better choice for me.After having room service three nights at a hotel in Houston, however, I needed to get out of my room. Although the restaurant opened at 6:30, I arrived at 6:25. The waiter at the front desk made a comment (评论) about my “being there really early”. I explained my dislike of eating alone in restaurants. He then seated me at a lovely table and asked me whether I would mind if he sat down with me for a while.I was glad! He sat and talked with me about his career goals and the difficulty of being at work on nights, weekends and holidays. He said he hadn’t enough time to be with his family. After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.Then another waiter came out of the kitchen and had a wonderful chat with me. Before I left that night, some other waiters, even the cook, had come out of the kitchen and sat with me!When I asked for my bill about one hour later, all the people who had sat down with me came over in a big group to my table, and presented me with a red rose. And I cried! What had begun as a lonely night ended as a beautiful experience.1. The author asked for room service because __________.A. a lot of money would be saved in this wayB. he didn’t like to eat with other people aroundC. he didn’t wanted to be recognized by the waitersD. seeing people laughing and talking made him feel bad2. How did the waiter feel when he saw the author come in at 6:25?A. Dissatisfied.B. Pleased.C. Surprised.D. Angry.3. From the third paragraph, we can learn that the waiter at the front desk _________.A. knew how to attract more customers to his restaurantB. found it hard to balance his work and his familyC. was getting tired of his present jobD. had never had such a chance to talk about his worries4. The author wants to tell us that __________.A. people are actually all lonely in their own wayB. restaurants should put the need of customers firstC. the kindness of strangers can make you less lonelyD. restaurants are full of surprises for lonely peopleBEarly excitement about the next generation of the iPhone is building months ahead of an expected autumn debut(问世). Analysts expect Apple to release three iPhones this year, but the one getting the most attention is a rumored super-premium model to celebrate the iPhone’s tenth anniversary. And, for that phone, Apple is expected to change the type of screen the iPhone uses.Here’s a quick look at what you need to know about what it means if Apple switches from its current liquid crystal display (LCD) screens to a type of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen called AMOLED.The essential difference between an LCD screen and an AMOLED one is the presence of a backlight. Thanks to that difference, AMOLED screens can be very thin, which means you can make thinner products. They also provide more vivid colors, which is a reason that television makers have been pushing OLED in its various forms for their big screens. AMOLED screens, in particular, boast(夸口) even greater control over each individual pixel(像素)——which means better contrast(对比度) for the viewer. These screens can also improve battery life because there’s no backlight.
