Unit 3 Amazing peoplePart Two Teaching Resources第二部分教学资源Section 1: A text structure analysis of THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY I. Type of writing and summary of THE CURSE OF THE MUMMYII. A retold version of the text THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY Howard Carter is one of the most famous explorers the world has ever known. He was bright and curious about the world outside his hometown when he was very young. By the 1920s, he had become an explorer, searching for the tombs of the Egyptian kings. In 1922, Howard Carter made his most amazing discovery of all, in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt,where he found the tomb of King Tutankhamun. However, not long after the tomb had been opened, people in Carter’s team began to fall ill and die strangely. Within seven years, 21 people who had something to do with the opening of the tomb died. Some people say the deaths were just coincidence. Others believe that they were the result of the mummy’s curse. However, still others believe that there is a scientific explanation, because inside the tombs there are many viruses.●Section 2: Background informationI. Background information about mummy and Howard CarterWhat are mummies?When you think of a mummy what comes to mind? Most of us usually picturean Egyptian mummy wrapped in bandages and buried deep inside a pyramid.While the Egyptian ones are the most famous, mummies have been found inmany places throughout the world, from Greenland to China to the AndesMountains of South America.A mummy is the body of a person (or an animal) that has been preserved after death. Normally when we die, bacteria and other germs eat away at the soft tissues (such as skin and muscles) leaving only the bones behind. Since bacteria need water in order to grow, mummification usually happens if the body dries out quickly after death. The body may then be so well preserved that we can even tell how the dead person may have looked in life.Mummies are made naturally or by embalming, which is any process that people use to help preserve a dead body. Mummies can be dried out by extreme cold, by the sun, by smoke, or using chemicals such as natron. Some bodies become mummies because there were favorable natural conditions when they died. Others were preserved and buried with great care.The ancient Egyptians believed that mummifying a person's body after death was essential to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife.How are mummies made?Mummification in ancient Egypt was a very long and expensive process. From start to finish, it took about seventy days to embalm a body. Since the Egyptians believed that mummification was essential for passage to the afterlife, people were mummified and buried as well as they could possibly afford. High-ranking officials, priests and other nobles who had served the pharaoh andhis queen had fairly elaborate burials. The pharaohs, who were believed to become gods when they died, had the most magnificent burials of all. In the case of a royal or noble burial, the embalmers set up workshops near the tomb of the mummy.The art of Egyptian mummification consisted of many steps. First, the body was washed and ritually purified. The next step was to remove the deceased person's inner organs. A slit was cut into the left side of the body so that the embalmers could remove the intestines, the liver, the stomach and the lungs. Each of these organs was embalmed using natron, which served to dry out the organs and discourage bacteria from decaying the tissues.The organs were then individually wrapped using long strips of linen and placed in jars. The lids of these jars were fashioned after the four sons of Horus, who were each entrusted with protecting a particular organ.Who are the mummies?Over time almost all Egyptians who could afford to becamemummies when they died -- a total of about 70 millionmummies in 3,000 years. By the 4th century AD, manyEgyptians had become Christians and no longer believedthat mummification was necessary for life after death.Eventually, the Egyptians gave up the art and science of making mummies.So where did all the mummies go? Sadly, most were plundered in ancient times by grave robbers and vandals looking for treasures wrapped up in the bandages. Countless mummies were also destroyed during the Middle Ages, when they were ground into powders to make supposedly magical potions. Later on, modern treasure hunters blundered into their tombs looking for artifacts and souvenirs. Even industry aided the destruction by using mummies' bandages to make paper or burning their bodies for fuel.The best preserved mummies are those of the pharaohs and their relatives. These mummies tended to be more carefully embalmed and protected from harm. The mummies that have survived allow us to look back into the past and know something of the ancient Egyptians and their time. Three of the most famous Egyptians mummies are Tutankhamen, Seti I and Rameses II (Ramses the Great).Tutankhamun's TombTutankhamun's tomb is located in the Valley of the Kings between the tombs of Rameses II and Rameses IV. Although robbers probably entered the tomb at least twice in antiquity, its contents were virtually intact when it was discovered by Howard Carter.II. Background information about AstronautsChina's First Astronaut Crowned "Space Hero"China's first astronaut Yang Liwei was conferred the titleof "Space Hero" on Friday at a high-profile rallycelebrating the country's first manned space flight.Yang, 38, was also awarded a badge of honor for hisspace faring merits at the rally organized by the CentralCommittee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), theState Council and the Central Military Commission.At the rally attended by top leaders of the countryand several thousand others, including space experts, government officials and servicemen, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao announced the decision by the Party, the central government and the military commission to honor Yang Liwei.Jiang Zemin, chairman of the military commission, presented the certificate of "Space Hero" and the badge to Yang Liwei.Addressing the rally, President Hu Jintao praised Yang and others who contributed to the country's manned space program.China will work with the international community for peaceful use of outer space, said the president, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee.China launched its Shenzhou-5 manned spacecraft, with astronaut Yang Liwei aboard, on Oct. 15 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province, northwest China.Yang and his spacecraft orbited the Earth 14 times before safely landing in north China the next day.The successful launch and return of the spacecraft made China the third country in space after Russia and the United States, and marked the initial success of the manned space program launched in1992.Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968)Yuri Gagarin, a Russian, was the first man who went into space. On 12 April, 1961, at 9.07a.m. Moscow time, he left the Earth, circled around it and came back 108 minutes later. On 7 March, 1968, he died in an airplane accident.

高中英语Unit 3 Amazing people Grammar and Usage1

Unit 3 Amazing peoplePart One Teaching Design第一部分教学设计Aims and requirements♦ Read an article about a famous explorer and an article about a Chinese astronaut♦Listen to a list of requirements♦Talk about famous people and unknown places, and introduce a person♦Write a biographical article♦Interview a professionalProcedures●Grammar and UsageHere we will learn to recognize situations where the past perfect tense is used and the time expressions used together with the tense. We will also see how the tense is formed. You will read two stories and plete them using the correct verb forms. Pay attention to the differences between the past perfect tense and the simple past tense. Step 1: Past perfect tensePast perfect tense is used to indicate that one action occurred before another action in the past. In other words, past perfect tense indicates the first of the two actions.Formof Past Perfect[had] + [past participle]Examples:I had studied a little English when I came to the U.S.They had never met an American until they met John.Note: When you are using a verb tense with more than one part such as Past Perfect (had met), adverbs often e between the first part and the second part (had never met).USE 1pleted Action Before Something in PastThe Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.Examples:I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.Had you ever visited the U.S. before your trip in 1992?Yes, I had been to the U.S. once before in 1988.USE 2Duration Before Something in the Past (Non-continuous Verbs)With Non-progressive Verbs and some non-progressive uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.Examples:We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over eight years.IMPORTANTSpecific Times with the Past PerfectUnlike the Present Perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the Past Perfect. Although this is possible, it is usually not necessary.EXAMPLE:She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.If the Past Perfect action did occur at a specific time, the Simple Past can be used instead of the Past Perfect when before or after is used in the sentence. The words before and after actually tell you what happens first so the Past Perfect is optional. Both sentences below are correct.EXAMPLE:She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.She visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.HOWEVERIf the Past Perfect action did not happen at a specific time, Past Perfect MUST be used at all times. pare the two sentences below.EXAMPLE:She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. CorrectShe never saw a bear before she moved to Alaska. Not CorrectACTIVE / PASSIVE FORMSof Past PerfectEXAMPLESGeorge had repaired many cars before he received his mechanics license. ACTIVEMany cars had been repaired by George before he received his mechanics license. PASSIVEStep 2: Practice1. Read Point 1 on page 48 to see which action happens first in the sentence given. Note that the past perfect tenseis often used with the simple past tense. If one action happens before another in the past, the past perfect tense is used. So these two tenses are often used together.Look at the diagram in Point 1 first, and then read the example sentence. Note how the past perfect tense is used with the simple past tense.2. Read the following two sentences tosee how the predicate is changed when the sentence is turned from the direct speech into the indirect speech.Toby said, “I will/shall not be in London next week.〞Toby said that he would not be in London the next week.Next let’s look at another two sentences:Toby said, “I went to Africa a month ago.〞Toby said that he had gone to Africa a month before.So yousee if a sentence which uses the simple past tense in the direct speech is changed into the indirect speech, it will use the past perfect tense.
