2021年秋季高中英语Unit3ComputersPeriod1WarmingUp&Read
2021年秋季高中英语Unit3ComputersPeriod1WarmingUp&Reading课后阅读训练新人教版必修2课后阅读训练Ⅰ.阅读明白得AThe most frightening words in the English language are “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”“If your computer is down,just write me out a ticket.”“I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all you people do?”“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”“So when it goes down,you go down with it.”“That's good,sir.”“How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.“I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There's no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it's down and it won't answer us.”After the girl told me they had no backup(备用)computer, I said. “Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?”“I couldn't tell without asking the computer.”“Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington,” I suggested.“I wouldn't know which gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't take you if you didn't have a t icket.”“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”“I wouldn't know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only it knows. It can't tell me.”By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.【语篇概述】本文要紧讲的是当电脑死机,不能启动的时候人们不能做许多情况,这确实给人们带来了困扰和苦恼。

III．教学计划本单元分六课时：第一课时：Warming Up, Pre-reading, Reading第二课时：Language points第三课时：Learning about language第五课时：Speaking, Reading, WritingIV．教学步骤：Period 1 Warming Up, Pre-reading, ReadingTeaching Goals:1. To know something about computers.2. To learn and talk about computers.Teaching Procedures:Step 1. Leading-inPurpose: To activate the Ss and arouse them to talk about the importance of computers in modern society.Ask Ss whether they have a computer or not and what they use it for. Let them talk as much as possible.Step 2. Warming UpPurpose: To get Ss to think about the differe nt ways computers can be made.Pair workGet Ss to look at the following pictures, and then ask them to answer the questions.A huge computer A PCA notebook computer A calculatorAn abacus1. What are they?2. What do they have in common?3. What is a computer?Suggested Answers:1. a huge computer, a personal computer, a notebook computer, a calculator, an abacus2.(1) to be used to calculate;(2) operate by human beings;(3) they are all artificial;(4) show figures in a certain way.3. A computer is a machine which stores knowledge in its memory and does calculations onthat knowledge. This knowledge is stored in symbols; it is called data. A computer usually has a monitor to show results. However, some computers can speak; these computers can be used for voice mail.A computer is now almost always an electronic device. It usually contains materials whichare toxic; these materials will become toxic waste when disposed of. When a new computer is purchased in some places, laws require that the cost of its waste management must also be paid for. This is called product stewardship.Step 3. Pre-readingPurpose: To activate Ss’ interest about computers.Group workAsk Ss the following questions and encourage them to say more.1.How have computers changed our lives ?2.What do you know about computers ?Suggested Answers:1. They’re a much more useful and humane tool than the phone , and with corporate America behind them the networks will be everywhere--- changing our lives more than any technology since the automobile.2. A multi-function electronic device that can execute instructions to perform a task.A device that accepts information, processes it, and supplies an output. A computer usually contains memory, a control unit, arithmetic and logical units, and a means for input and output.A programmable hardware component that is controlled by internally stored programs and that can perform substantial computations (including arithmetic and logic operations) without human intervention. A computer typically consists of one or more processing units, memory units, and associated peripheral input and output devices.Step 4. Reading1. SkimmingPurpose: 1. To get a brief understanding of the text.2. To train the students’ listening ability.First, let Ss skim the text and then listen to the recording of the text. Pay attention to the pauses and pronunciation.2. ScanningPurpose: To get Ss to have some details in the text.Now we are to read the text again and underline all the expressions in the text. Writethem down in your notebook.3. Further ReadingPurpose: To get Ss to get more details about the text.Read the text again and find the information to complete the table, which describes thedevelopment of computer.1642: ___________________________________________________1822: The Analytical Machine was made by Charles Babbage.____: ___________________________________________________1940s: ________________________________________________________: The first family of computers was connected to each other.1970s: ___________________________________________________Now: ___________________________________________________Step 5. RetellPurpose: To have a deep understanding of the text.Ask Ss to use the chart above to retell the development of the computer.One possible version:I, a computer, was a calculating machine in 1642 in France. Then I was built as an Analytical Machine in 1822, which was a technological revolution. I became a “universal machine” in 1936 to solve any mathematical problem. I was not very big at first then I became huge, the size of a large room before I was made smaller and smaller.Getting new transistors, later very small chips I changed my shape. I was connected with other computers and turned out to part of a network in the early 1960s. In 1970s I was brought into people’s homes, and came the Internet.Step 6. Homework1. Write a short passage about the development of computers.2. Finish Ex1 (P19), Ex2 (P20).Period 2 Language pointsStep 1 Word studyGroup workDivide Ss into four groups and ask them to discuss the following words.1. common（1）most widely known; ordinary:Eg He is a common sailor.（2）have nothing/little/something/ a lot in commonEg At first, I think we only had one thing in common, but suddenly I felt we had a lotin common.Eg The two brothers had everything in common in their manners, but the two sisters have little in common.Eg They have nothing in common with one another.2. analytical分析的Eg The scientist analyzed the milk and found it contained too much water.3.technology 科技；技术Eg With the development of technology, we will cure AIDS sooner or later.4.calculate(v.)1)to use numbers to find out a total amount, distance, etc. 计算；核算We haven’t really calculated the cost of the vacation yet.2)to guess sth by using all the information available 推测，估计It is impossible to calculate what influence he had on her life.5.As time went by, I was made smaller.随着时间的推移，我被弄得越来越小。

Unit 3 Computer 教学设计Period 1: Warming up and readingTeaching AimsTo talk about computerTo read about computerProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by talking about computerLook at the pictures on page 17. What are they? What do they have in common? Yes, they are computers. Then what is a computer?A computer is a machine which stores knowledge in its memory and does calculations on that knowledge. This knowledge is stored in symbols; it is called data. A computer usually has a monitor to show results. However, some computers can speak; these computers can be used for voice mail.计算机室A computer frequently requires a boot device. The boot device contains the computer’soperating system and data. Computer programs can be installed onto a computer. Some people think that computers are less useful if they do not have access to the Internet. They think this because the Internet allows the computers to send and receive data and email across the world.曙光3000巨型计算机A computer is now almost always an electronic device. It usually contains materials which are toxic; these materials will become toxic waste when disposed of. When a new computer is purchased in some places, laws require that the cost of its waste management must also be paid for. This is called product stewardship.In some countries old computers are recycled (melted down) to get gold and other metals. This is dangerous, because this procedure releases the toxic waste into the water and soil.Computers become obsolete quickly. Very often they are given away and new ones replace them within two or three years. This makes the problem worse. Computer recycling is thus common. Many projects try to send working computers to developing nations so they can be re-used and will not become waste as quickly.II. Pre-reading1. Questioning and answering---What do you know about computer?●Electronic machine capable of performing calculations and other manipulations of varioustypes of data, under the control of a stored set of instructions. The machine itself is the hardware; the instructions are the program or software. Depending upon size, computers are called mainframes, minicomputers, and microcomputers. Microcomputers include desk-top and portable personal computers.●A multi-function electronic device that can execute instructions to perform a task.●A device that accepts information, processes it, and supplies an output. A computer usually contains memory, a control unit, arithmetic and logical units, and a means for input and output.●a programmable hardware component that is controlled by internally stored programs and that can perform substantial computations (including arithmetic and logic operations) without human intervention. A computer typically consists of one or more processing units, memory units, and associated peripheral input and output devices.●Related to automation and electronic data processing. The Library of Congress commonly classes most computer-related books in HF5548, QA75-76, Z52, T385, and some TK ranges.●a machine for performing calculations automaticallycalculator: an expert at calculation (or at operating calculating machines)●A computer is a device or machine for making calculations or controlling operations that are expressible in numerical or logical terms. Computers are constructed from components that perform simple well-defined functions. The complex interactions of these components endow computers with the ability to process information. If correctly configured (usually by, programming) a computer can be made to represent some aspect of a problem or part of asystem. If a computer configured in this way is give2. Discussing and sharing---How have computers changed our lives?Someday soon, if you haven’t already, you’re likely to plug into the computer network nation growing in our midst. Computer terminals, or small computers connected via modem (a modulator/demodulator circuit for encoding/decoding computer chatter) to ordinary telephone lines, should be as ubiquitous as the telephone itself. They’re a much more use ful and humane tool than the phone, and with corporate America behind them the networks will be everywhere----changing our lives more than any technology since the automobile. Joining a computer network is the same as joining a community. Small systems are like villages, where new members are formally welcomed. The larger networks, the Source and CompuServe, for example, are cities-anonymous, full of life and events, but difficult to fit into.III. Reading1. Listening and reading to the recording of the text WHO AM I?Turn to page 18 and listen and read to the recording of the text. Pay attention to the pauses,pronunciation and intonation of the native reader.2. Reading aloud and underlining expressionsNow we are to read the text once again and underline all the expressions in the text. Put them down into your notebook after class as homework.made smaller,3.

thinking computer whichcan sense a user's moods( 情绪 ) ． Researchers at Queen's University in Belfast hopeto complete the 10 － million － euro project for an emotion－sensitive(感知感情功能的)computer within four years.The aim is to make computers think and do things more like humans.And 160researchers join in the project.The university's researchers made an agreement with the European Commission.The work may try to make“multi－modal interfaces (界面 ) ”which allow machines to sense and respond to the moods of the user.Programme coordinator (协调者) Professor Roddy Cowie said while it soundedlike science fiction，computers which responded to human feelings would appear.“ At the moment ，our use of computers is limited by the fact that we need akeyboard and a screen to access(使用) them，” he said.“ But feelings are part of normal speech, and experience has shownthat most users are deeply uncomfortable with speech interfaces that ignorethem－too uncomfortable to use them very much.”“ If we can make computers more expressive, and also less challenging to use，there is a great chance to let people make full use of information technology.”The emotion － sensitive computer would have its own“personality”and build a social relationship with the user.“ It's a fair bet that in 30 years' time, emotion－sensitive interfaces willbe as much part of life as windows and mouse interfaces are now，” said Professor Cowie.The project team believes such computers would play an important part in teaching and learning.1． What does the passage mainly tell us?A． Researchers at Queen's University have completed a project.B． The research for an emotion－sensitive computer is being led by a NorthernIreland team.C． 160 researchers have joined in the 10 million－euro project for a thinking

put into useB． an emotion － sensitive computer cannot respond to the moods of the userC． an emotion － sensitive computer has not been invented by the teamD． the research for an emotion－sensitive computer has not gained people'ssupport3． In Professor Roddy Cowie's opinion，________ limits our use of computers.A． the fact that a keyboard and a screen are needed to use computersB． the fact that we don't know much about computersC． the fact that feelings are part of normal speechD． the fact that the emotion－sensitive computer has its own“personality”4． What are emotion － sensitive computers

As the e-governance network becomes more important in an information age, the government does need to change from its traditional role as a ruler to a service provider”said Peng Xizhe, director of the School of Social Develo pment and Public Policy at Fudan University.【语篇概述】一项最新调查说明, 网民普遍认为网站的服务不尽如人意。
