高中英语人教版必修二教师用书 Unit 2 The Olympic Games

Unit 2The Olympic Games【美文阅读】随着时间的推移和奥林匹克运动的发展变化，对奥林匹克标志的阐释也出现了变化。

奥林匹克旗和五环的含义，不仅象征五大洲的团结，而且强调所有参赛运动员应以公正、坦诚的运动员精神在比赛场上相见！The Olympic FlagOn the Olympic flag，the rings appear on a white background(背景)．Pierre de Coubertin，the father of the modern Olympic Games，explains the meaning of the flag：“The Olympic flag has a white background，with five interlaced(交织的；交错的)rings in the centre：blue，yellow，black，green and red.This design is symbolic(象征的；象征性的)；it represents(代表；象征) the five continents of the world，united by Olympism，while the six colors are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time.”Combined in this way，the six colors of the flag，(including the white of the background)represent all nations.It is wrong，therefore，to believe that each of the colors corresponds(与……相符) to a certain continent!At the Olympic Games，the flag is brought into the stadium during the opening ceremony (开幕式)．After its arrival，the flag is lifted up the flagpole.It must fly in the stadium during the whole of the Games.When the flag is lowered at the closing ceremony，it means the end of the Games.The mayor of the host city of the Games passes the Olympic flag to the mayor of the next host city of the Games.Even though Pierre de Coubertin intended(想要) the Olympic Games to be an international event from 1896 in Athens(Greece)，it was only at the 1912 Games in Stockholm(Sweden)that，for the first time，the participants(参加者)came from all five continents.One year later，in 1913，the five rings appeared at the top of a letter writtenby Pierre de Coubertin.He drew the rings and colored them by hand.He then described this symbol in the Olympic Review of August 1913.It was also Coubertin who had the idea for the Olympic flag.He presented the rings and flag in June 1914 in Paris at the Olympic Congress.The First World War prevented the Games from being celebrated in 1916 in Berlin (Germany) as planned.It was not until 1920 in Antwerp (Belgium) that the flag and its five rings could be seen flying in an Olympic stadium.【诱思导学】1．Do you think why many countries want to host the Olympic Games，while others not?2．What contribution did Pierre de Coubertin make?【答案】 1.Reasons to host：a great honour；great responsibility and so on.Reasons not to host：too expensive；much planning；many stadiums and accommodation. 2.He made the Olympic Games an international event.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，对下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。

新人教版 Book 2 Unit 2 The Olympic Games 课文

Unit 2 The Olympic GamesPart 1 AN INTERVIEWPausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games. He is now interview ing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.P: My name is Pausanias. I lived in what you call “Ancient Greece” and I used to write about the Olympic Games a long time ago. I’ve come to your time to find out about the present-day Olympic Games because I know that in 2004 they were held in my homeland. May I ask you some questions about the modern Olympics.L: Good heaven s! Have you really come from so long ago? But of course you can ask any questions you like. What would you like to know?P: How often do you hold your Games?L: Every four years. There are two main sets of Games — the Winter and Summer Olympics, and both are held every four years on a regular basis. The Winter Olympics are usually held two years before the Summer Games. Only athlete s who have reach ed the agreed standard for their event will be admit ted as competitor s. They may come from anywhere in the world.P: Winter Games? How can the runners enjoy competing in winter? And what about the horses?L: Oh no! There are no running race s or horse riding events. Instead there are competition s like skiing and ice skating which need snow and ice. That’s why they’re called the Winter Olympics. It’s in the Summer Olympics that you have the running races, together with swimming, sail ing and all the team sports.P: I see. Earlier you said that athletes are invited from all over the world. Do you mean the Greek world? Our Greek cities used to compete against each other just for the honour of winning. No other countries could join in, nor could slaves or women!L: Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good enough. There are over 250 sports and each one has its own standard. Women are not only allow ed, but play a very important role in gymnastics, athletic s, team sports and …P: Please wait a minute! All those events, all those countries and even women taking part! Where are all the athletes house d?L: For each Olympics, a special village is built for them to live in, a main reception building, several stadiums for competitions, and a gymnasium as well.P: That sound s very expensive. Does anyone want to host the Olympic Games?L: As a matter of fact, every country wants the opportunity. It’s a great responsibility but also a great honor to be chosen. There’s as much competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win Olympic medal s. The 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. Did you know that?P: Oh yes! You must be very proud.L: Certainly. And after that the 2012 Olympics will be held in London. They have already started planning for it. A new village for the athletes and all the stadiums will be built to the east of London. New medals will be design ed of course and …P: Did you say medals? So even the olive wreath has been replace d! Oh dear! Do you compete for prize money too?L: No, we don’t. it’s still all about being able to run faster, jump higher and throw further. That’s the motto of the Olympics, you know-- “Swifter, Higher and Stronger.”P: Well, that’s good news. How interestin g! Thank you so much for your time.Part 2 THE STORY OF ATLANTAAtlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him, “These are my rule s. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be kill ed. No one will be pardon ed.”Many king s and prince s wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of her rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stay ed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta’s rules, “Why are these men so foolish?” he thought. “Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?”However, when he saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind. “I will marry Atlanta--or die!” he said.The race started and although the man ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watch ed he thought, “How can I run as fast as Atlanta?” He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help. She promise d to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said, “Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run pasther and win. Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King. He said, “I want to marry Atlanta.”The King was sad to see another man die, but Hippomenes said, “I will marry her---or die!” So the race began…。

高中英语Unit2 The Olympic Games文章古代奥运会人教版必修二

古代奥运会在古希腊，有四大祭礼竞技赛会，以祭祀万神之王宙斯的奥林匹克运动会规模最大、延续时间最长、名声最高。

奥运会在古希腊人心目中是整个民族精神象征。

一、起源古代奥运会起源于公元前776年，每4年在夏天举行一次。

那时战争连年不断，各城邦都利用体育锻炼武士使之身强力壮，体育运动在这种情况下发展起来，并逐渐形成了有组织的运动竞赛。

古希腊人信奉多神教，每逢重大的祭祀节日，各城邦都举行盛大的宗教集会，以唱歌、舞蹈和竞技等方式表达对诸神敬意。

古希腊人认为宙斯为众神之首，对他的祭祀格外隆重。

古希腊人民厌恶连年不断的战争，渴望和平，希望在奥运会举办期间，以神的名义实行休战，以减少战争、摆脱灾难。

二、比赛场地最初的奥运会比赛在奥林匹亚村的阿尔齐斯神域内进行，后来在神域的东北角修建了一块长方形运动场，周围有依天然地形修成的看台。

运动场跑道宽32米，每次可供20名选手同时比赛，长为192米。

起跑线用石条铺成，上面刻有两道平行的小槽，供运动员起跑时使用。

三、奥运盛况古代奥运会延续一千多年,既是竞技大会，又是一个全国性节日。

"神圣休战"宣布之后，许多人涌向奥林匹亚，在那里，各城邦的代表参加祭祀活动和游行；政治使节缔结条约；艺术家展出作品；学者和教师研讨学术；雄辩家发表演说；商人展售商品；人们穿着最华贵的衣服，带着最珍奇的珠宝。

选手在竞技场上奋勇拚搏，他们赤身裸体进入赛场，向神和观众展示他们超人的体能、健美的身体和良好的教养。

奥运会也起到了推动政治交流、促进贸易发展、繁荣希腊文化、融合民族感情的作用，全希腊人民在和平气氛中欢聚一堂，内容丰富，场面壮观，形成了全希腊最盛大的节日。

四、衰落公元前五世纪末，泼罗奔尼撒战争使希腊奴隶制开始走向衰败，也是古代奥运会由兴到衰的转折点。

战争使经济萧条，社会风气低下，运动竞技失去了原来的意义，逐渐成为追求财富的手段，运动会上出现了营私舞弊、损人利己的不良倾向，奥运会的崇高理想受到扭曲。
