新人教版高中英语必修5《Unit 2 The United Kingdom》精品教案I. 教学目标通过本单元的学习，使学生了解英国的地理位置、国家的构成、发展历史及伦敦的名胜古迹，感受异域文化，提高跨文化意识；此外，还要学会使用地图和网络查询有关英国的资料，培养学生的资源策略和自主学习的能力；掌握35个新单词和6个短语，熟悉过去分词作宾语补足语的用法。

They may have white, brown or black skin and blonde, brown, black or red hair, with blue, black, brown or green eyes.Many of the people you will see will be British people but they all look different because the people of Britain are a mixed race.Britain is and has always been a mixed race society. Early in the British history they were invaded by Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans armies and later Africans were brought to Britain by force in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as slaves or servants. Over the years, thousands of people have been forced by persecution（迫害）or hunger to leave France, Ireland, Russia, and other countries, and have settled in Britain.About 8% of the population of Britain today are people from other cultures and races. That is 4.6 million people. According to a BBC report in September 2005, immigration（移民）made up more than half of Britain’s population growth from 1991 to 2001. The Guardian newspaper reported in 2007 that the number of immigrants to the UK was 145, 000 a year.People moving to Britain have brought their own cultures with them and try to keep them alive. An excellent example of this is the Notting Hill Carnival which celebrates the Caribbean culture and is now a very big part of British life today.1. From Tony Blair’s words, we learn that he was__________ for the diversity in Britain.A. sorryB. thankfulC. pityD. anxious2. Why can you find people of different races inBritain?A. Because people like to live in big cities in Britain.B. Because people from different countries havesettled in Britain.C. Because Britain has attracted many tourists fromall over the world.D. Because people from different countries havebeen invited to live there.3. What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?A. How Britain became a mixed race society.B. Where people get the strength to come toBritain.C. Where to find people with different hair, skinand eye colors.D. How people from different cultures livepeacefully in Britain.4. Which of the following statements is TRUEaccording to the passage?A. The rate of immigration to Britain increased bymore than 50% from 1991 to 2001.B. In the 17th century, about 8% of the Britishimmigrants were Africans.C. There are 4.6 million immigrants in Britain today.D. 145, 000 people moved out of the UK in 2007.5. It can be inferred that __________.A. England is the best place to live inB. people from Africa came to Britain for politicalreasonsC.

高中英语Unit2 The United Kingdom文章白金汉宫人教版必修五

白金汉宫白金汉宫(Buckingham Palace)是英国君主的官邸。

它的建筑风格为新古典主义, 主体建筑为五层, 其中两层为服务人员使用的附属层, 高度较低。

所以立面可以视为纵、横三段式处理。

白金汉宫的附属建筑包括皇家画廊、皇家马厩和花园。

皇家画廊和皇家马厩均对公众开放参观, 每年夏天,英国王室在花园内举办盛大的皇家招待会。

除此之外, 来英国做国事访问的国家元首也在宫内下榻。

白金汉宫的广场中央耸立着维多利亚女王纪念碑,顶上站立着展翅欲飞的金箔包裹的胜利女神,而纪念碑正面那么端坐着握着权杖的维多利亚女王。

在这个纪念碑的下方有阶梯, 许多游人在此落座，因为它是打量白金汉宫的最正确位置。

附近地铁站: Victoria 站, Hyde Park Corner 站或Green Park 站,步行穿过公园既是。

公共汽车路线有: 9, 10, 14, 38, 73 等。

唐宁街十号(10 Downing Street)是英国首相官邸,(1735年即成为首相府) 既是世界最知名的政府首脑所在地之一,也已成为伦敦一个重要的旅游景点。

议会大厦(The UK Parliament)英国议会所在地。

曾为英王室居住的西敏寺宫, 1515年被大火焚毁。

1547年修复后,爱德华六世把该宫的部分建筑拨给下院使用。

1838年该宫又毁于大火, 只剩下西敏寺大厅。

1840年重建西敏寺宫,即现在的议会。

1852年,维多利亚女王主持揭幕典礼。

该建筑包括护宫河,总面积为12。

5亩。

大本钟(Big Ben)是英国最著名的地标, 与英国国会大厦相连。

大本钟因其走时准确而名扬四海。

每隔一小时，大钟根据格林威治时间发出沉重而铿锵的响声, 在数英里之外也能听到钟声的回荡。

蜡像馆(Madame Tussauds)--杜瑟夫人蜡像馆, 号称世界同类展览馆中规模最大, 1835年由来自法国的杜瑟夫人创办, 最初在贝克大街, 1884年移至现址。

蜡像馆中展出的作品为现代历史名人。
