文以载道立德树人作者：许秀群来源：《新阅读》2018年第09期摘要：文化意识培养是英语核心素养的重要组成部分。
结合高中教材中课文阅读，以对中西方科学文化差异的认识为教学素材，通过显性的具体教学，挖掘课文阅读中蕴含的文化意识隐性内涵，培养学生的文化意识，增强自身的文化自信。
关键词：立德树人英语阅读教学文化意识党的十八大以来，教育部作出了深化课程改革、落实“立德树人”根本任务的部署，明确了英语学科核心素养的结构：语言能力、文化意识、思维品质、学习能力，其中的文化意识是指对中外文化的理解和对优秀文化的认同，是学生在全球化背景下表现出的跨文化认知、态度和行为取向。
文化意识体现英语学科核心素养的价值取向。
文化意识的培养有助于学生增强国家认同和家国情怀、坚定文化自信，树立人类命运共同体意识，学会做人做事，成为有文明素养和社会责任感的人。
文化意识的培养目标获得文化知识，理解文化内涵，比较文化异同，汲取文化精华，形成正确的价值观，坚定文化自信，形成自尊、自信、自强的良好品格，具备一定的跨文化沟通和传播中华文化的能力。
倡导以学生为主体，开展参与式、体验式、实践式及合作式的学习方式，培养学生形成积极的情感态度、跨文化交际意识及自主学习能力。
培养学生文化意识是时代发展的需要，是在原课程标准的基础上的跨越和升华，意义深远。
文化意识的教学现状英语作为人文学科，肩负着语言技能学习和文化意识培养的双重任务。
迫于应试教育的压力，许多教师往往关注教学内容中的语言点、单词、语法结构等“教学硬件”的教学，只见树木，不见森林。
课堂教学中，虽然有涉及文化意识的内容，但是缺少系统性，对英语文化的介绍处于零散、肤浅状态，围绕着英语文化的讲解重视不足，实际成效难以达到预期。
将良好的渗透文化意识、立德树人的机遇拱手错失，离英语核心素养的要求相去甚远。
因此学习语言不仅要完成语言技能的掌握，还要了解文化背景，注重人文情怀和人文修养。
如果脱离文化意识的培养，核心素养的整体提高是不可能的。

Knowing them will help you make a good impression. Having good table manners means knowing, for example, how to use knives and forks, when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table. Beside your napkin you will find a small bread roll and three glasses - one for white wine, one for red wine, and one for water. There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table. Fork on the left and knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons, the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert. The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a little bit bigger than the ones beside them. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap. In China, you sometime get a hot, damp cloth to clean your face and hands, which, however, is not the custom in Western countries.Dinner starts with a small dish, which is often called a starter. Some people pray before they start eating, and other people may keep silent for a moment. Then you can say “Enjoy your meal” to each other and everybody starts eating. For the starter, which you eat with the smaller pair, you keep the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left. After the starter you will get a bowl of soup - but only one bowl of soup and never ask for a secondserving.The next dish is the main course. Many Westerners think the chicken breast with its tender white flesh is the best part of the bird. Some people can use their fingers when they are eating chicken or other birds, but never touch beef or other meat on bones. It is polite to finish eating everything on your plate, so don’t take more food than you need.At table, you should try to speak quietly and smile a lot, but do not laugh all the time.Most Westerners like soft drinks if they will drive home. Many of them drink white or red wine with the food. When drinking to someone’s health, you raise your glasses, but the glasses should not touch. The custom of toasting in some parts of China is to finish the drink at once, but Westerners usually take only a sip. For drinking during a dinner, the best advice is never to drink too much.Table manners change over time. They follow the fashion of the day. Besides, table manners are only important at formal dinner parties. If you’re not sure what to do, you can always follow your hosts. Although good manners always make you look good, you do not need to worry about all these rules while having dinner with your friends or family.高中英语课本文章阅读篇二THEME PARKS — FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhich theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of theme parks, with a different park for almost everything: food, culture, science,cartoons, movies or history. Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showing the famous sights and sounds of a culture. Whichever andwhatever you like, there is a theme park for you!The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland. It can be found in several parts of the world. It will bring you into a magical world and make your dreams come true, whether traveling through space, visiting apirate ship or meeting your favourite fairy tale or Disney cartoon character. As you wander around the fantasy amusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or on the street. Of course Disneyland also hasmany exciting rides, from giant swinging ships to terrifying free-fall drops. With all these attractions, no wonder tourism is increasing wherever there is a Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland! Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeasternUSA, is one of the most unique theme parks in the world. Dollywood shows and celebrates America's traditional southeastern culture. Although Dollywood has rides, the park's main attraction is its culture. Famous country music groups perform there all year in indoor and outdoor theatres. People comefrom all over America to see carpenters and other craftsmen make wood, glass and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visit the candy shop to try the same kind of candy that American southerners made 150 years ago, or take a ride on the only steam- engine train still working in the southeast USA. You can even see beautiful bald eagles in the world's largest bald eagle preserve. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has one of the best old wooden roller coasters, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the most length in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America's historicalsoutheastern culture!If you want to experience the ancient days and great deeds of English knights and ladies, princes and queens, then England's Camelot Park is the place for you. Every area of the park is modelled after life in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. In one place, you can watch magic shows with Merlin the Wizard. If you want to see fighting with swords or on horseback, then the jousting area is a good place to visit. If you do well there, King Arthur may choose you to fight in the big jousting tournament. Do you like animals? Then visit the farm area, and learn how people in ancient England ran their farms and took care of their animals. To enter a world of fantasy about ancient England, come to Camelot Park!高中英语课本文章阅读篇三COPERNICUS’ REVOLUTIONRRY THEORYNicolaus Copernicus was frightened and his mind was confused. Although he had tried to ignore them, all his mathematical calculations led to the same conclusion: that the earth was not the centre of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky make sense. Yet he could not tell anyone about his theory as the powerful Christian Church would have punished him for even suggesting such an idea. They believed God had made the world and for that reason the earth was special and must be the centre of the solar system.The problem arose because astronomers had noticed that some planets in the sky seemed to stop, move backward and then go forward in a loop. Others appeared brighter at times and less bright at others. This was very strange if the earth was the centre of the solar system and all planets went round it.Copernicus had thought long and hard about these problems and tried to find an answer. He had collected observations of the stars and used all his mathematical knowledge to explain them. But only his new theory could do that. So between 1510 and 1514 he worked on it, gradually improving his theory until he felt it was complete. In 1514 he showed it privately to his friends. The changes he made to the old theory were revolutionary. He placed a fixed sun at the centre of the solar system with the planets going round it and only the moon still going round the earth. He also suggested that the earth was spinning as it went round the sun and this explained changes in the movement of the planets and in the brightness of the stars. His friends were enthusiastic and encouraged him to publish his ideas, but Copernicus was cautious. He did not want to be attacked by the Christian Church, so he only published it as he lay dying in 1543.Certainly he was right to be careful. The Christian Church rejected his theory, saying it was against God's idea and people who supported it would be attacked. Yet Copernicus' theory is now the basis on which all our ideas of the universe are built. His theory replaced the Christian idea of gravity, which said things fell to earth because God created the earth as the centre of the universe. Copernicus showed this was obviously wrong. Now people can see that there is a direct link between his theory and the work of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.。

英语优秀教案(人教版)：必修五(Unit 1 Great scientists Period 1)
Unit 1Great scientistsBrief Statements Based on This UnitThis unit centers on Great scientists, including some scientists both at home and abroad like John Snow and Copernicus.The students should be encouraged to practise talking about these scientists.The whole unit can be divided into seven parts: warming up, reading, listening and speaking, language focusing, reading and writing, grammar, and assessment.In warming up, there is a quiz for the students to do, which will arouse the students’ interest in knowing about the famous scientists and help the students to know science is very important in our daily life.Group discussion and brainstorming will be used in this period to help the students to communicate with each other using their previous knowledge.In the reading passage, the students will learn about John Snow, who defeats“King Cholera”, and get a general idea about how to examine a new scientific idea.This will help the students to form their own attitude towards science.In learning about language, the students are encouraged to learn the following words and expressions: engine, characteristic, radium, theory, scientific, examine, conclude, analyze repeat, defeat, attend, expose, cure, control, absorb, severe, valuable, blame, immediately, handle, announce, instruct, virus, construction, contribute, positive, movement, backward, complete, enthusiastic, spin, reject, view, steam engine, put forward, draw a conclusion, in addition, link...to..., be strict with, lead to, make sense, point of view.While practising using the language, the students will learn about Copernicus’ Revolutionary Theory, and their skills of reading, speaking and writing will be improved.In listening and speaking, more chances will be given to the students to learn about other scientists and their spirit.The students are encouraged to make up their mind to make contributions to science.The students will be asked to write a letter to Copernicus on the basis of the understanding of the text.The letters are sure to be full of imagination and creativity.Assessment will help the students to look back what they have learned and focus on the difficult and important points.So, this unit will be divided into seven periods as follows:Period 1Welcome to the UnitPeriod 2ReadingPeriod 3Listening and SpeakingPeriod 4Reading and WritingPeriod 5 GrammarPeriod 6Language FocusingPeriod 7AssessmentKnowledge aims:Key words in this unit: engine, characteristic, radium, theory, scientific, examine, conclude, analyze, repeat, defeat, attend, expose, cure, control, absorb, severe, valuable, blame, immediately, handle, announce, instruct, virus, construction, contribute, positive, movement, backward, complete, enthusiastic, spin, reject, view.Key phrases in this unit: put forward, know about, look into, in addition, prevent sth.fromdoing, lead to, make sense, punish sb.for, suggest doing sth.steam engine, draw a conclusion, link...to..., be strict with, lead to, point of view.Key sentence patterns:1 But he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera.2 He got interested in two theories explaining how cholera killed people.3 Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky make sense.Grammar in this unit:Past participle used as attribute and predicativeAbility aims:1.To talk about great scientists and their great achievements.2.To guess what will be talked about in the listening materials.3.To improve their reading skills.4.To learn to use past participle as attribute and predicative.Emotion aims:To encourage the students to learn about some great scientists and their great achievements and how science helps to improve our society and change our life.Meanwhile, inspire the students to learn from the scientists and form their positive attitude towards science.Period 1Welcome to the UnitThe General Idea of This PeriodThe uni t centers on“great scientists”.This is the first period of this unit.During this period, the students should be encouraged to give their previous knowledge of some of the famous scientists, participate in the activities in class and try to get more information from the discussion.They will take part in different forms of activities, including pair work, group work, competition, and quiz.Group competition will be carried out all through the class.Words and expressions in this unit will help the students to talk about the topic“great scientists”.So at the beginning of this period, the teacher should spend some time training the students to read them and help the students pronounce them correctly.The students are encouraged to learn the new words in groups by themselves, using dictionaries and other reference books.Then more time should be given to the students to get familiar with the words and stly, several sentences will be given to the students to help them to know how to use some of the phrases.This unit is about“great scientists”, so from the very beginning, the teacher can encourage the students talk about their dreams in the future.Then the teacher can let the students brainstorm something about great scientists.The students are free to say anything that they know.The students will be quite interested in this topic.This activity gives the students a chance to express their feelings about their favorite scientist.At the same time, this activity can stir the students’ enthusiasm in science.Then the teacher can have the students match the famous scientists with their discoveries, inventions or theories, making sure that they have some common sense about some world-famous scientists.Later the students will be divided into several groups, describe one of the great scientists and let other students guess who he or she is talking about.In this way, the students should learn to organize their own sentences and express their ideas clearly.After that, the students will feel comfortable to do the quiz in the text.The students should beencouraged to give more information about these ten scientists.Meanwhile, the students’ interest in scientists and science should be cultivated.So two topic discussion questions, as well as the practice exercises are designed.The post-class activities are designed to arouse the students’ interest in science and encourage them to“DIY—do it yourself” in their daily life if they have some doubt in some areas.T eaching Important PointsHave the students discuss great scientists.Encourage the students to hold their views about their future career.Understand and learn the following words and expressions: engine, characteristic, radium, theory, scientific, examine, conclude, analyse, repeat, defeat, attend, expose, cure, control, absorb, severe, valuable, blame, immediately, handle, announce, instruct, virus, construction, contribute, positive, movement, backward, complete, enthusiastic, spin, reject, view, steam engine, put forward, draw a conclusion, in addition, link...to..., be strict with, lead to, make sense, point of view.T eaching DifficultiesWhat can we learn from the scientists?What should we do in our daily life to develop our interest and love for science?T eaching AidsCAI equipment with a Multi-media classroom and other normal teaching tools.Three Dimensional T eaching AimsKnowledge AimsLearn something about some famous scientists in the world.Know about the outstanding discoveries, inventions and theories from some well-known scientists.Try to understand and learn the important words and expressions.Ability AimsDevelop the students’ ability of speaking.Encourage the students to give more information about the great scientists.Emotional AimsEncourage the students to learn more about the great scientists and learn from them.Help the students to form the good habit in learning and encourage the students to take part in social practice.Help the students to realize that it is

Y ou have done a good job.I will give you some more minutes to go over all the words and expressions and then fill in the blanks with proper forms of some of them from this unit.1.“All roads lead to Rome, ”he encouraged me after I failed the entrance examination.2.This sentence doesn’t make any sense.3.Our English teacher is not only strict with us but also friendly to us.4.He is good-looking, apart from his nose.5.It is announced that the spacecraft, Shenzhou Ⅵ, landed on the earth successfully.6.It is not Tom but you who are to blame.7.In 1995, the Chinese government put forward a plan for“rejuvenating the nation by relying on science and education”.And it has helped Chinese scientists make m any breakthroughs.8.Have you drawn any conclusion after you read this passage?T: Well done.So much for the learning of the new words and expressions.Step 4 BrainstormingT: Now let’s come to the title of this unit Great scientists.When we talk about g reat scientists, what will come into your mind(s)?We will go on our competition.S1: Madame Curie, who got two Nobel Prizes, one for physics and the other for chemistry, is really outstanding among all the women scientists.S2: It reminds me of the great inventor named Thomas Alva Edison and one of his famous sayings“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”S3: Y es, we lead a better life now with the help of science.Without Edison, maybe now we are still living in a dark world.They really make our life easier and more comfortable.S4: I also think of one of the quotes from Albert Einstein, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”S5: All the scientists are devoted to the career that they choose, and they set good examples to us in our work.S6: Take all the scientists for example, if we want to be successful in the future, we should not only learn something from our textbooks, but also take part in social practice and get close to nature to learn more about it.S7: I like plants very much.I just think of the two key scientists in the field of botany, Carl Linnaeus and Joseph Banks.The former one laid the foundation for the classification of plants, while the latter one also made great contributions to the development and direction of botany.Ss: ...T: I’m glad to see that you have a great deal of previous knowledge of famous scientists in the world.Step 5 Previous knowledgeT: Now let’s match some of the great scientists with their famous discoveries, inventions or theories.Let me see who is the quickest in mind and action and can get all the answers correct.Famous scientists Discoveries/Inventions/TheoriesA.Isaac Newton 1.Evolution (进化论)B.Charles Darwin 2.Discovery of Radium（镭）C.Madame Curie 3.Newton’s LawD.Albert Einstein 4.Electric bulbE.Thomas Alva Edison 5.Theory of RelativityF.Nicolaus Copernicus 6.SeismographG.Stephen Hawking7.A Brief History of TimeH.Zhang Heng8.The earth moves around the sun.(Check the answers with all the students: A—3, B—1, C—2, D—5, E—4, F—8, G—7, H—6.)T: Since you have a better understanding of some of the great scientists, let’s play a game. Please work in groups and describe one of the great scientists, and then let other students guess who you are talking about.Group 1: In the eighteenth century, there lived a great scientist who conducted a number of experiments in which he showed what electricity is.Once he did a famous kite experiment on a stormy day, and proved that lightening and electricity are the same thing.S: Benjamin Franklin.Group 2: It is said that this English gentleman was sitting in his garden one day when suddenly he was hit by a falling apple.The story is probably not true, but this man did mention that he got one of his best-known ideas while watching apples fall from a tree.His name makes you think that he was not too interested in old things.He discovered the force of gravity, and he drew up a system of how objects move.His laws for motion are still used in physics today, at least in schools and universities.S: Sir Issac Newton.Group 3:Food is what sets this great mind on fire.Rice, to be exact.This great mind has spent most of his life looking for ways to help farmers grow more rice so that all of us will have enough food to eat.He is known as the father of modern rice, but because of his long friendship with all the farmers in China, he w ould rather be known as“the farmer”.S: Y uan Longping.Group 4:He was born on 8 January 1942 in Oxford, England.He has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe.He showed that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes.He has three popular books published: his best seller A Brief History of Time, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays and most recently in 2001, The Universe in a Nutshell.S: Stephen Hawking.Ss: ...T: Well done.Step 6 QuizT: Y ou have already known some information about some of the great scientists.Now let’s do a quiz, trying to find out who these scientists are.Quiz Questions1.Which scientist discovered that objects in water are lifted up by a force that helps them float?2.Who wrote a book explaining how animals and plants developed as the environment changed?3.Who invented the first steam engine?4.Who used peas to show how physical characteristics are passed form parents to their children?5.Who discovered radium?6.Who invented the way of giving electricity to everybody in large cities?7.Who was the painter that studied dead bodies to improve his painting of people?8.Who invented a lamp to keep miners safe underground?9.Who invented the earliest instrument to tell people where earthquakes happened?10.Who put forward a theory about black holes?Check the answers with the students.1.Archimedes2.Charles Darwin3.James Watt4.Gregor Mendel5.Madame Curie6.Faraday7.Leonardo davinci8.Humphrey Davy9.Zhang Heng 10.Stephen HawkingT: Please work in groups and have a discussion to find as much information as possible about these ten great scientists.(The teacher had better join in the discussion and give them some guidance whenever necessary.After the discussion, ask some students to give a short report about what the group have discussed.)(Refer to the information about these scientists below, and various answers are possible.) Step 7 PracticeT: Today we have learned a lot about great scientists in the world.We can learn from them to live our dreams.And we teachers are too willing to help you.In your opinion, what should our school /teachers/students do to tap the students’ potential?S: Our school should give the students more chances to take part in social practice.S: Our teachers should help the students use their imaginations.S: We students should solve the problems on our own.(Ask more students to give their opinions.The teacher should encourage them, join them, praise them, and make comments on their ideas.)Step 8 Discussion (Group Competition)T: Y our ideas are so wonderful and amazing.I admire them very much.Now let’s come to our topic.Topic 1: What can you learn from these scientists?Topic 2: What qualities should we have to be a successful man?(Give the students several minutes to have a discussion.Then let them have a group competition.)Step 9 Summing upT: In this period, we have talked a lot about great scientists.Y ou have a lot of previous knowledge and you are full of imagination and creativity.Those scientists set good examples to us.And I think all of us are happy about learning more of them.After class, it’s better to read some books about them and you can surf the Internet to get more information.And I’d like you to ma ke a“Scientists Album”in the following week.The Design of the Writing on the BlackboardUnit 1Great scientistsPeriod 1Welcome to the UnitBrainstormingResearch and ActivitiesDIY1.Cover a glass of water with a piece of thick paper.Put one hand on the paper and turn the glass upside down.Slowly take your hand away.What happens?Why?2.Fill one glass with fresh water and another glass with salt water. Put an ice cube in each glass.What happens?Why?3.Find out as many famous sayings from those scientists as possible.Reference for T eaching1.Charles Darwin was born in Shrewsbury(shropshire) to a moderately wealthy family with a strong intellectual heritage.His grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, was a physician, poet and biologist who laid some of the gr oundwork for the grandson’s revolutionary ideas.Charles attended Christ’s College at Cambridge with initial thoughts of entering the clergy, but soon took up studies in biology, zoology and geology.From 1831 to 1836, he served as a naturalist aboard the HMS Beagle on its scientific mission to South America and the Pacific.Back in England, he published a series of scientific treatises which established his reputation as one of the prominent thinkers of his day.From 1842 onwards, he lived on a country estate in Kent and pursued his studies among its gardens and livestock.By 1844, he had written the initial draft of his groundbreaking treatise on evolution and natural selection.However, he left this work unpublished for several years, preferring to refine and elaborate its core ideas.In 1858, he read a forthcoming paper by a fellow scientist Alfred Russell Wallace whose thesis closely paralleled Darwin’s own unpublished ideas, an event which pushed Darwin to go public with his own research.Both Wallace’s and Darwin’s papers were presented to the Linnean Society in a famous July, 1858 meeting. Darwin published The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in 1859, sparking decades of contentious debate which ultimately led to the universal scientific recog nition of Darwin’s thesis.In later years, he developed his ideas further in monographs on different types of plant and animal life.Notes:Shrewsbury: 什鲁斯伯里[英国英格兰西部城市]physician: 内科医生(注意区分physicist, 物理学家)revolutionary: 创新的HMS: （英国）皇家海军舰船(Her/His M ajesty’s Ship)treatises: 论文2.Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England.His parents’ house was in north London, but during the Second World WarOxford was considered a safer place to have babies.When he was eight, his family moved to St Albans, a town about 20 miles north of London.At eleven Stephen went to St Albans School, and then on to University College, Oxford, his father’s old college. Stephen wanted to do Mathematics, although his father would have preferred medicine.Mathematics was not available at University College, so he did Physics instead.After three years and not very much work he was awarded a first class honours degree in Natural Science.Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology, there being no-one working in that area in Oxford at the time.His supervisor was Denis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was working in Cambridge.After gaining his Ph.D.he became first a Research Fellow, and later on a Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College.After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973 Stephen came to the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and since 1979 has held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematic s.The chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the Reverend Henry Lucas, who had been the Member of Parliament for the University.It was first held by Isaac Barrow, and then in 1663 by Isaac Newton.Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe.With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes.These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great Scientific development of the first half of the 20th Century.One consequence of such a unification that he discovered was that black holes should not be completely black, but should emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear.Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time.This would imply that the way the universe began was completely determined by the laws of science.His many publications include The Large Scale Structure of Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Y ears of Gravity, with W Israel.Stephen Hawking has two popular books published: his best seller A Brief History of Time, and his later book, Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays.Professor Hawking has twelve honorary degrees, was awarded the CBE in 1982, and was made a Companion of Honour in 1989.He is the recipient of many awards, medals and prizes and is a Fellow of The Royal Society and a Member of the US National Academy of Sciences.Stephen Hawking continues to combine family life (he has three children and one grandchild), and his research into theoretical physics together with an extensive programme of travel and public lectures.3.Humphry Davy, a woodcarver’s son, was born in Penzance in 1778. After being educated in Truro, Davy was apprenticed to a Penzance surgeon.In 1797 he took up chemistry and was taken on by Thomas Beddoes, as an assistant at his Medical Pneumatic Institution in Bristol.Here he experimented with various new gases and discovered the anesthetic effect of laughing gas (nitrous oxide).Davy published details of his research in his book Researches, Chemical and Philosophical (1799).This led to Davy being appointed as a lecturer at the Royal Institution.He was a talented teacher and his lectures attracted large audiences.In 1806 Davy published On Some Chemical Agencies of Electricity. The following year he discovered that the alkalis and alkaline earths are compound substances formed by oxygen unitedwith metallic bases.He also used electrolysis to discover new metals such as potassium, sodium, barium, strontium, calcium and magnesium.Davy was now considered to be Britain’s leading scientist and in 1812 was knight ed by George Ⅲ.With his assistant, Michael Faraday, Davy travelled abroad investigating his theory of volcanic action.In 1815 Humphry Davy invented a safety lamp for use in gassy coalmines, allowing deep coal seams to be mined despite the presence of firedamp (methane).This led to some controversy as George Stephenson, working in a colliery near Newcastle, also produced a safety lamp that year.Both men claimed that they were first to come up with this invention.One of Davy’s most important contributions to history was that he encourage manufacturers to take a scientific approach to production.His discoveries in chemistry helped to improve several industries including agriculture, mining and tanning.Sir Humphry Davy died in 1829.4.Leonardo da Vinci(b.1452, Vinci, Republic of Florence [now in Italy]—d.May 2, 1519, Cloux, Fr.), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.His Last Suppe (1495-1497) and Mona Lisa (1503-1506) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance.His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of his time.5.Madam Curie is a French professor of physics.She was born in Poland in 1867.In 1891 she went to study in Paris University because at that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland.When she was studying in Paris, she lived a poor life, but she worked very hard.In 1895 she married Pierre Curie, and then they worked together on the research into radioactive matter.They discovered two kinds of radioactive matter—polonium and radium.In 1904 she and her husband were given the Nobel Prize for physics.In 1906 Pierre died, but Marie went on working.She received a second Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911.So she became the first scientist in the world to win two Nobel Prizes.6.James Watt: British engineer and inventor who made fundamental improvements in the steam engine, resulting in the modern, high-pressure steam engine (patented 1769).7.Gregor Mendel was an Austrian botanist and founder of the science of genetics.Through years of experiments with plants, chiefly garden peas, he discovered the principle of the inheritance of characteristics through the combination of genes from parent cells.8.Archimedes: Greek mathematician, engineer, and physicist.Among the most important intellectual figures of antiquity, he discovered formulas for the area and volume of various geometric figures, applied geometry to hydrostatics and mechanics, devised numerous ingenious mechanisms, such as the Archimedean screw, and discovered the principle of buoyancy.9.Michael Faraday (September 22, 1791—August 25, 1867) was a British scientist(a physicist and chemist) who contributed significantly to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He also invented the earliest form of the device that was to become the Bunsen burner, which is used almost universally in science laboratories as a convenient source of heat.Michael Faraday was one of the great scientists in history.Some historians of science refer to him as the greatest experimentalist in the history of science.It was largely due to his efforts that electricity became a viable technology.The SI unit of capacitance, the farad(symbol F) is named after him.。

高二英语必修五Unit 1课文翻译Unit 1 Great scientistsReadingJOHH SHOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA”约翰·斯洛击败“霍乱王John Snow was a famous doctor in London - so expert, indeed, that he attended Queen Victoria as her personal physician. But he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly disease of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure was understood. So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never be controlled until its cause was found.约翰·斯洛是伦敦一位著名的医生——他的确医术精湛，因而成为照料维多利亚女王的私人医生。
但他一想到要帮助那些得了霍乱的普通百姓时，他就感到很振奋。
霍乱在当时是最致命的疾病，人们既不知道它的病源，也不了解它的治疗方法。
每次霍乱暴发时，就有大批惊恐的老百姓死去。
约翰·斯洛想面对这个挑战，解决这个问题。
他知道，在找到病源之前，霍乱疫情是无法控制的。
He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera killed people. The first suggested that choleramultiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person died.斯洛对霍乱致人死地的两种推测都很感兴趣。
