单元：Unit 2 The universal language板块：Welcome t o the unitThoughts on the design:本节课以看、说为主，通过Welcome to the unit部份所提供的四张图片，激活学生对音乐类别的了解，通过该部份相关问题的讨论，进一步激发学生的学习热情并为本单元后面更深切的学习奠定基础。

Teaching aims:After this lesson, students will be able to tell different types of music and musical instruments and they will also be able to talk about their favorite kind of music and famous musicians.Teaching procedures:Step 1 Brainstorming (PPT4-6)1. Show students a picture of people from different countries and ask them how theycan communicate with each other.How do people from different countries communicate with each other? (They can speak English since it is a language used widely in the world. They can draw pictures to get their ideas across. They can also use body language to show their feelings.)2. Get students to focus on the topic of the unit “The Universal language”.If a language can be understood by all the people in the world, it is a universal language. So is English a universal language?(No, not everyone in the world can speak and understand English.)What about pictures? Are they universal? (Yes. A picture can be appreciated by people all over the world.)Is body language also universal? (Yes, body language is more or less t he same throughout the world. It is a very effective way for people speaking different languages to communicate with each other.)3. Draw students’ attention to the unit topic—music.There is also another kind of language which is universal. That is music. Why do we say so? (Because people all over the world can understand music)Prepare the students with vocabulary related to music. Have them brainstorm any word related to the kind of music, people related to music and musical instruments. Kinds of music: classical music, pop music, folk music, swing music, blues, jazz, rock and roll, rap, opera …People related to mu sic: musician, singer, composer, pianist, violinist …Musical instru ments: guitar, piano, violin, drum …[Explanation]该步骤试图从人类不同的种类（语句不通顺）的一路语言引入到音乐那个话题，然后以“头脑风暴”这一活动形式，预备学生的相关辞汇。

Have you ever had the experience of listening to a piece of music and feeling that it is written just for you？Music can be used to express many feelings，such as love，sorrow，friendship and peace. Although people from different areas of the world have different styles of music，we can still unde rstand each other’s music. Without music，what would our lives be like？How much do you know about music？Now let’s try to say some words about music:● Music: classical music，pop music，folk music，swing music，blues，jazz，rock and roll，rap，opera…● P eople related to music: musician，singer，composer，pianist，violinist…● Musical instruments: guitar，piano，violin，drum…Step 2: Sharing information1. Work in groups of four and discuss the four pictures on page 17.Picture of a jazz bandWhat are the people doing in this picture？What do you know about jazz？(Jazz is a musical art form. At the end of the 19th century，jazz music was the most popular type of music. Jazz was started in New Orleans in the USA and most jazz musicians at that time were black. It has been called the first original art form to develop in the USA. Early jazz musicians made money by playing in small bands. Often，jazz musicians made up the music as they were playing.Early jazz came from folk music and later developed into something else of its own.) Do you know any famous jazz musicians？(Louis Armstrong，one of the most famous jazz musicians，was born in New Orleans. He created wonderful jazz music with his trumpet. In addition to playing trumpet，he also sang and danced. He performed on Broadway，in films and recorded music.)What does jazz music sound like to you？Picture of Chinese operaWhat are the people doing in this picture？What is Chinese opera？(Chinese opera is a traditional form of drama in China. It started in the Tang Dynasty when Emperor Xuanzong founded the ‘Pear Garden’. A Chinese opera performance includes elements such as dance，song，dialogue，swordplay and acrobatics. The features of Chinese opera which can distinguish a character’s age，gender and personality are the makeup，movements，props and the colour of costumes.)What does Chinese opera sound like？(To some young people nowadays，the music accompanied by gongs，cymbals，drums and stringed instruments sounds a bit ‘shrill’ and ‘noisy’. However，the stories and the melodies are unique.)Do you know any famous Chinese opera performers？Picture of a girl playing the violinWhat is the girl doing in this picture？What do you know about the violin？(The violin belongs to the string family of instruments. It is made of wood and uses steel strings. A violinist uses a bow pulled across the strings to create beautiful music.)Do you know any famous violinists？(In the past，the great violinists played the violin as well as writing music for the instrument. After the 19th century，composers and violinists started to be two different roles. The most famous violin composers and players are Corelli，Vivaldi，Locatelli and later Paganini，Sarasate，Wieniawski，Vieuxtemps，Ysave，Kreisler and Enesco.Picture of a girl playing the pianoWhat is the girl doing in this picture？What do you know about the piano？(The piano belongs to the percussion family of instruments. It consists of a keyboard attached to a wooden box，inside of which are metal strings. A piano is played by pressing the keys. Each of the keys isattached to a hammer that strikes one of the strings inside the box.)Do you know any famous pianists？(Among the most famous pianists are Beethoven from Germany，Franz Liszt from Hungary and Frederick Chopin from Poland. Beethoven is known for his sonatas，Liszt for the Hungarian Rhapsody and Chopin for Revolution Etude.)2. Work in pairs and have a discussion about the three questions below the pictures.Step 3: DiscussionMany of us believe that music can have a very great effect on us. This is especially true of classical music，which some people believe can make us calmer or even smarter. There is a theory，called the ‘Mozart Effect’，that playing classical music for a child can help his or her brain develop. As a result，a lot of parents play classical music for their children，some evenbeginning before the child is born，in the hope that their children will be smarter. What do you think of the ‘Mozart Effect’ theory？Do you think it is true？Why or why not？Do you think adults can become smarter or calmer by listening to classical music？Why or why not？Step 4: Homework1. Collect more information about music.2. Prepare the Reading part.。

牛津译林版高中英语选修八：Unit2TheUniversalLanguage语法

高中英语学习材料（灿若寒星*制作整理）Ellipsis（省略）一个句子中某些部分被省略掉了，这种情况在语法中被称作省略。

省略的目的也是为了避免重复，使语言精练。

大体上来说，被省略的部分是上文已出现过的词语或被省略的部分，并非上文出现的内容，但是在意义上是不言自明的。

1. 简单句中的省略1) 省略主语。

例如：“Get up.”（省略了主语you）（祈使句中的主语通常被省略。

）其它省略主语多限于少数现成的说法。

例如：Thank you for your help. （省略了主语I）Doesn’t matter. （省略了主语it）2) 省略主谓语或主谓语的一部分。

例如：No smoking. （省略了主谓语There is）Have a cup of tea? （省略了主语及谓语的助动词部分will you）3) 省略宾语。

例如：Do you know Mr. Smith?I don’t know. （省略了宾语him）4) 省略表语。

例如：— Are you hungry?— Yes, I am. （省略了表语hungry）5) 同时省略几个成分。

例如：— Are you feeling better now?— Much better. （省略了I am feeling … now）— Have you finished your work?— Not yet. （省略了I have … finished my work …）6) 其它省略结构。

例如：(1) 名词所有格所修饰的名词，表示住宅、店铺、教堂或上文已暗示或明确指出过的事物时，常常可以省略。

例如：We spent the weekend at the Smith’s.(2) What 和How 引导的感叹句中，常可省略主语it 和be动词。

例如：What a wonderful victory (it is) for her!(3) 不定式省略，单独使用不定式符号to代替动词不定式后被省略的动词，常在beafraid, expect, forget, hope, intend, like, love, mean, prefer, refuse, seem, try, want,wish 等后边。

Unit 2 The universal language一、阅读理解。

Almost no one can resist a good mystery novel or detective novel, so these novels sell thousands of copies each year. And many readers regard famous mystery authorAgatha Christie as Queen of Crime, whose stories are known for their tenseatmosphere and strong psychological suspense and have a great effect on the English mystery novels.Christie was born in September 1890 in England. When she was growing up,her mother often told her stories. Christie loved these stories, which took her intoa world of fantasy. Christie ’s mother also encouraged her to write from a young ageand also took her to travel a lot.She married Archie Christie in 1914 at the beginning of World WarⅠ. During the war, Christie wrote her first detective story: The Mysterious Affair at Styles. She chose the crime, and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot, rankingsecond to Sherlock Holmes, to solve it. She sent the book to a publisher, but itwas rejected.After the war ended, Christie sent her book to more publishers, and finally,in 1920, one published it. She earned just $25 for it. Over the next few years,Christie wrote more books and short stories, gaining experience as a writer. Inspite of her literary success, life was not going well at home. In 1928, Archieand Agatha got a divorce(离婚). A short time later,she met a young archaeologist, Max Mallowan. After getting married in 1930, they began to spend some time eachyear in the Middle East, which provided settings for some of Christie’s n ovels, such as Murder at the Vicarage(1930),Murder on the Orient Express (1934)and Death on the Nile(1939).Christie continued writing for the rest of her life. When she died in January1976, readers around the world mourned(悼念)her death. But her tales of mysterycontinue to be loved by new generations of readers.

( )3.The actress ________ the farmer's wife
in the film has been arrested by the police.
A．acted as
B．cast as
C．playing as
D．acting for
3．B。句意：在这部电影中扮演农夫妻子的那个女演员被警察逮捕了。act as有“扮演”之意，但这里是用非谓语动词修饰the actress作后置定语，而act与其是主谓关系，应用acting，但D 项不该用for，而B项cast正好与the actress是动宾关系，即cast the actress as...“选派某人扮演某角色”，用过去分词cast作the actress的定语，故选B。
cast / throw light on 使某事物清楚 cast one's mind back to sth 回顾，回想 cast sb / sth aside 抛弃，排除，消除，废除 cast sb down 使某人沮丧
2．hit (hits / hit / hit / hitting) vt. 打；碰撞；打击；打中 n. 打击；碰撞；击中；成功而风行的事物
