本单元的主要教学内容如下表所示:Period 1Warming Up,Pre-reading,Reading and Comprehending整体设计教学内容分析This is the first teaching period of this unit.The central part of this period is the reading passage with the title of “The Earth Is Becoming Warmer—But Does It Matter?” talking about the global issue which has a great effect on human beings' life.Warming Up gives six pictures to help students list the sources of energy they can think of in our daily life.Then they will be led to discuss which energy source is “renewable” and which is “non-renewable”.This part is designed to help the students to recall their background knowledge about energy and prepares students for the whole unit.Pre-reading provides a picture of a greenhouse and then tells us what a greenhouse is and what “greenhouse gases” are.The students will be led to discuss what they think greenh ouse gases do,leading to the topic of the reading passage.Reading is a passage from an environmental magazine for young people.It puts forward the possible effect of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and different points of view about it.It also analyzes the causes of the earth's increased temperature.It poses questions and encourages students to think about the issues.There are two graphs in it that tell us the “temperature difference from long-term average,1860-2000”and “carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere,1957-1997”.Characters in the passage—Dr Janice Foster,George Hambley and Charles Keeling are all real persons and their views reflect the views of some scientists today.Comprehending consists of three written or oral exercises for the students to do so as to help the students to get a better understanding of the text,that is to say,to help the teacher to check how much the students have understood the text.三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1.To know the meanings of the following new words and phrases:consume(消费;消耗;耗尽),come

by skimming and scanning the passage.5.To develop the students' speaking ability by talking about global warming.Process and methods1.While doing Warming Up the teacher can lead in the topic of this unit by showing students some pictures or videos about sources of energy,making the students recall their own knowledge about energy.2.During Pre-reading the teacher can go around the classroom and discuss the questions with several students.This discussion should be student-centered and lead them to the topic of global warming.The teacher should also ask the students to look at the graphs in the reading passage and try to find out the general idea of the text.3.While doing Reading and Comprehending,the teacher may first ask the students to read the text quickly to get the general idea of each paragraph.After reading the passage,students are encouraged to answer some questions and discuss the text structure.4.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage,the students should be required to retell the text in their own words at the end of the class.Emotion,attitude and value1.To make students realize the harm of global warming and the importance of environmental protection.2.To develop students' sense of cooperative learning.教学重、难点1.To enable the students to learn about global warming and to develop their reading ability.2.To enable the students to talk about what we should do to prevent global warming.教学过程Step 1Warming up1.Warming up by reading and talking:Read through the exercise with the class.Put students in groups of four to talk about what we use energy for,what are the sources of these energy and whether the sources are renewable or non -renewable.Suggested answer:The six photos are:windmills;a coal power station;an oil refinery;a nuclear power plant;solar panels;a hydro-electric dam.2.Warming up by discussion:Draw a form on the blackboard as follows:Things that use energy Sources of energy Renewable/non-renewableLet the students have a discussion and collect suggestions from students and write them under the appropriate heading.Suggested answer:Things that use energy Sources of energy Renewable/non-renewablelightsheating television cassette player video recorder computerfridgestovehairdryer...coal non-renewableoil non-renewable natural gas non-renewable wind power renewablesolar energy renewable nuclear energy non-renewable hydro-electricpowerrenewable biomass energy renewable geothermal energy renewable tidal energy renewableStep 2Pre-reading1.Show a picture of a greenhouse to students and ask them what a greenhouse is made of andwhat its purpose is.Suggested answer:It's made of glass and plants can grow in it when it's cold outside.Ask the students how it works.Suggested answer:The glass traps the heat from the sun,making the air warm so that plants grow better.2.Ask students what they think “greenhouse gases” are and what they think greenhouse gases do.Look at the picture above and explain it to their partners.Suggested answer:Greenhouse gases perform the same function as the glass in a glasshouse:they trap the heat of the sun and keep the air surrounding the earth warm.This is called the greenhouse effect.)Step 3Reading and comprehending1.Fast readingAsk students to read the passage quickly so as to get the key words and general idea of each paragraph and answer the following questions:(1)What is the main topic of the article?________________________________________________________________________(2)Who wrote the magazine article?What is the name of the magazine?________________________________________________________________________(3)What are the names of the three scientists mentioned in the article?Do they agree with one another?________________________________________________________________________ Suggested answers:(1)Global warming/the warming of the earth.(2)Sophie Armstrong,Earth Care.(3)Dr Janice Foster,Charles Keeling,George Hambley.They don't agree with each other.2.Detailed reading(1)Read the passage carefully and judge whether the statements are true(T) or false(F).①Janice Foster believes that global warming is caused by the burning fossil fuels.()②Natural gas is a greenhouse gas.()③Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.()④People accept Charles Keeling's data because he took accurate measurements.()⑤Flooding could be one of the effects of future global warming.()⑥George Hambley believes scientists are just guessing about the effects of global warming.()⑦George Hambley is worried about the effects of carbon dioxide on plant growth.()⑧It is clear what the effects of global warming will be.()(Suggested answers:TFTTTTFF)3.Structure analyzingAsk students to read the text carefully and try to find out how many parts they can divide the text into and find out the main idea of each part.Part Main ideaPart 1(Paragraph ______)Part 2(Paragraphs ______ to ______)Part 3(Paragraphs ______ to ______)Part 4(Paragraph ______)Suggested answer:Part Main ideaPart 1(Paragraph 1) To introduce a debate over the issue of global warming.Part 2(Paragraphs 2 to 5) To illustrate how global warming comes about.To list two different attitudes among scientists towards global Part 3(Paragraph 6)warming.It's up to readers to think and decide whether people should do Part 4(Paragraph 7)something about global warming or not.Step 4Language studyDealing with any language problem if any(words or sentences students might not understand)to help the students to have a better understanding of the text.Step 5Listening,reading aloud and underliningAsk students to read the passage aloud to the tape and let them pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence.Tell them to pick out all the useful expressions or collocations from the passage while reading and copy them to the notebook after class as homework.Collocations:come about,There is no doubt that...,subscribe to,due to,greenhouse effect,quantities of,tend to,be trapped in,go up,result in,on the one hand...on the other hand,be opposed to,build up,keep on.Step 6RetellingAsk students to talk about global warming in their own words.Give them some key words and expressions on the blackboard.Then let them try to retell the passage.Step 7Homework1.Learn the useful new words and expressions in this part by heart.2.Try to find some data about global warming on the Internet,and show your class in the next period and talk about them.Step 8Reflection after teaching________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________教学参考About Global Warming(关于全球变暖)Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.Global surface temperature increased 0.74±0.18℃(1.33±0.32)between the start and the end of the 20th century.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was very likely caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanic eruptions had a small cooling effect after 1950.These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 40 scientific societies and academies of science,including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 6.4℃(2.0 to 11.5)during the 21st century.The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions.Most studies focus on the period up to the year 2100.However,warming is expected to continue beyond 2100 even if emissions stop,because of the large heat capacity of the oceans and the long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation,probably including expansion of subtropical deserts.Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers,permafrost and sea ice.Other likely effects include changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events,species extinctions,and changes in agricultural yields.Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe,though the nature of these regional variations is uncertain.Political and public debate continues regarding global warming,and what actions(if any)to take in response.The available options are mitigation to reduce further emissions;adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming;and,more speculatively,geoengineering(地球工程)to reverse global warming.Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.。

The global averagesurface temperature rose 0.6 to 0.9 degrees Celsius (1.1 to 1.6°F) between 1906 and 2005, and the rate of temperature increase has nearly doubled in the last 50 years. Temperatures are certain to go up further.Earth’s natural greenhouse effect Earth’s temperature begins with the Sun. Roughly 30 percent ofincoming sunlight is reflected back into space by bright surfaces like clouds and ice. Of the remaining 70percent, most is absorbed by the land and ocean, and the rest is absorbed by the atmosphere. The absorbedsolar energy heats our planet. As the rocks, the air, and the seas warm, they radiate “infrared radiation). From the surface, this energy travels into the atmosphere where much of it is absorbedby water vapor and long-lived greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. When they absorbthe energy radiating from Earth’s surface, microscopic water or greenhouse gas molecules turn into tiny heaters— like the bricks in a fireplace, they radiate heat even after the fire goes out. They radiate in alldirections. The energy that radiates back toward Earth heats both the lower atmosphere and the surface,enhancing the heating they get from direct sunlight. This absorption and radiation of heat by the atmosphere—the natural greenhouse effect—is beneficial for life on Earth. If there were no greenhouseeffect, the Earth’saverage surface temperature would be a very chilly -18°C (0°F) instead of the comfortable 15°C (59°F) that it is today.What has scientists concerned now is that over the past 250 years, humans have been artificiallyraising the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at an ever-increasing rate, mostly byburning fossil fuels, but also from cutting down carbon-absorbing forests. Since the Industrial Revolutionbegan in about 1750, carbon dioxide levels have increased nearly 38 percent as of 2009 and methanelevels have increased 148 percent.II.拓展提高书面表达如何解决全球变暖是我们全人类共同面临的一个难题。

Becoming Warmer—But Does It Matter?” talking about the global issue which has a great effect on human beings' life.Warming Up gives six pictures to help students list the sources of energy they can think of in our daily life.Then they will be led to discuss which energy source is “renewable” and which is “non-renewable”.This part is designed to help the students to recall their background knowledge about energy and prepares students for the whole unit.Pre-reading provides a picture of a greenhouse and then tells us what a greenhouse is and what “greenhouse gases” are.The students will be led to discuss what they think greenhouse gases do,leading to the topic of the reading passage.Reading is a passage from an environmental magazine for young people.It puts forward the possible effect of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and different points of view about it.It also analyzes the causes of the earth's increased temperature.It poses questions and encourages students to think about the issues.There are two graphs in it that tell us the “temperature difference from long-term average,1860-2000”and “carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere,1957-1997”.Characters in the passage—Dr Janice Foster,George Hambley and Charles Keeling are all real persons and their views reflect the views of some scientists today.Comprehending consists of three written or oral exercises for the students to do so as to help the students to get a better understanding of the text,that is to say,to help the teacher to check how much the students have understood the text.三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1.To know the meanings of the following new words and phrases:consume(消费;消耗;耗尽),come about(发生;造成),random(胡乱的;任意的),phenomenon(现象),subscribe(同意;捐赠;订阅;签署文件),subscribe

unit by showing students some pictures or videos about sources of energy,making the students recall their own knowledge about energy.2.During Pre-reading the teacher can go around the classroom and discuss the questions with several students.This discussion should be student-centered and lead them to the topic of global warming.The teacher should also ask the students to look at the graphs in the reading passage and try to find out the general idea of the text.3.While doing Reading and Comprehending,the teacher may first ask the students to read the text quickly to get the general idea of each paragraph.After reading the passage,students are encouraged to answer some questions and discuss the text structure.4.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage,the students should be required to retell the text in their own words at the end of the class.Emotion,attitude and value1.To make students realize the harm of global warming and the importance of environmental protection.2.To develop students' sense of cooperative learning.教学重、难点1.To enable the students to learn about global warming and to develop their reading ability.2.To enable the students to talk about what we should do to prevent global warming.教学过程1Warming up1.Warming up by reading and talking:Read through the exercise with the class.Put students in groups of four to talk about what we use energy for,what are the sources of these energy and whether the sources are renewable or non -renewable.Suggested answer:The six photos are:windmills;a coal power station;an oil refinery;a nuclear power plant;solar panels;a hydro-electric dam.2.Warming up by discussion:Let the students have a discussion and collect suggestions from students and write them under the appropriate heading.2 Pre -reading 1.Show a picture of a greenhouse to students and ask them what a greenhouse is made of and what its purpose is.Suggested answer :It's made of glass and plants can grow in it when it's cold outside.Ask the students how it works.Suggested answer :The glass traps the heat from the sun ,making the air warm so that plants grow better.2.Ask students what they think “greenhouse gases” are and what they think greenhouse gases do.Look at the picture above and explain it to their partners.Suggested answer :Greenhouse gases perform the same function as the glass in a glasshouse :they trap the heat of the sun and keep the air surrounding the earth warm.This is called the greenhouse effect.)3 Reading and comprehending 1.Fast readingAsk students to read the passage quickly so as to get the key words and general idea of each paragraph and answer the following questions :(1)What is the main topic of the article?________________________________________________________________________ (2)Who wrote the magazine article ?What is the name of the magazine?________________________________________________________________________ (3)What are the names of the three scientists mentioned in the article ?Do they agree with one another?________________________________________________________________________ Suggested answers :(1)Global warming/the warming of the earth.(2)Sophie Armstrong ,Earth Care.(3)Dr Janice Foster,Charles Keeling,George Hambley.They don't agree with each other.2.Detailed reading(1)Read the passage carefully and judge whether the statements are true(T) or false(F).①Janice Foster believes that global warming is caused by the burning fossil fuels.()②Natural gas is a greenhouse gas.()③Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.()④People accept Charles Keeling's data because he took accurate measurements.()⑤Flooding could be one of the effects of future global warming.()⑥George Hambley believes scientists are just guessing about the effects of global warming.()⑦George Hambley is worried about the effects of carbon dioxide on plant growth.()⑧It is clear what the effects of global warming will be.()(Suggested answers:TFTTTTFF)3.Structure analyzingAsk students to read the text carefully and try to find out how many parts they can divide theSuggested answer:4Language studyDealing with any language problem if any(words or sentences students might not understand)to help the students to have a better understanding of the text.5Listening,reading aloud and underliningAsk students to read the passage aloud to the tape and let them pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence.Tell them to pick out all the useful expressions or collocations from the passage while reading and copy them to the notebook after class as homework.Collocations:come about,There is no doubt that...,subscribe to,due to,greenhouse effect,quantities of,tend to,be trapped in,go up,result in,on the one hand...on the other hand,be opposed to,build up,keep on.6RetellingAsk students to talk about global warming in their own words.Give them some key words and expressions on the blackboard.Then let them try to retell the passage.7Homework1.Learn the useful new words and expressions in this part by heart.2.Try to find some data about global warming on the Internet,and show your class in the next period and talk about them.8Reflection after teaching________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________教学参考About Global Warming(关于全球变暖)Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.Global surface temperature increased 0.74±0.18℃()between the start and the end of the 20th century.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was very likely caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanic eruptions had a small cooling effect after 1950.These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 40 scientific societies and academies of science,including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 6.4℃(2.0 to )during the 21st century.The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions.Most studies focus on the period up to the year 2100.However,warming is expected to continue beyond 2100 even if emissions stop,because of the large heat capacity of the oceans and the long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation,probably including expansion of subtropical deserts.Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers,permafrost and sea ice.Other likely effects include changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events,species extinctions,and changes in agricultural yields.Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe,though the nature of these regional variations is uncertain.Political and public debate continues regarding global warming,and what actions(if any)to take in response.The available options are mitigation to reduce further emissions;adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming;and,more speculatively,geoengineering(地球工程)to reverse global warming.Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocolaimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.。

Unit 4 Global warmingThe greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that theEarth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere 大气;大气层 trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heatwould escape back into space and Earth's average temperaturewould be about 60°F colder. Because of how they warm our world,these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases.,Have you everseen a greenhouse? Most greenhouses look like a small glasshouse. Greenhouses are used to grow plants, especially in the winter. Greenhouses work by trapping heat from the sun. The glasspanels 面,板 of the greenhouse let in light but keep heat from escaping. This causes the greenhouse to heat up, much like the inside of a car parked in sunlight, and keeps the plants warm enough to live in the winter.,The Earth's atmosphere is all around us. It is the air that we breathe. Greenhouse gases in the atmospherebehave much like the glass panes 窗玻璃 in a greenhouse.Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, passing through theblanket of greenhouse gases. As it reaches the Earth's surface, land, water, and biosphere 生物圈 absorb the sunlight's energy. Once absorbed, this energy is sent back into the atmosphere. Someof the energy passes back into space, but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing ourworld to heat up.,The greenhouse effect is important. Without thegreenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough forhumans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals.Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading —Prereading[原文呈现][读文清障]THE EARTH IS BECOMING WARMER —BUT DOES IT MATTER?During the 20th century the temperature of the earth rose about one degree Fahrenheit①. That probably does not seem much to you or me, but it is a rapid increase when compared to ② other natural changes③. So how has this come about④ and does it matter? EarthCare's Sophie⑤Armstrong⑥explores these questions.There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer (see Graph⑦ 1) and that it is human activity that has caused this global warming rather than a random⑧ but natural phenomenon⑨. ①Fa hrenheit/'færənhaIt/adj.华氏的n.华氏温度计②compared to 与……相比③when compared to ...是“when+过去分词”结构,也可看作时间状语从句的省略,补充完整为when it is compared to ...。

Unit 4 Global warming教学案1教材分析Ⅰ.教学内容分析本单元的中心话题是人类当今面对的环境问题,主要探讨了“全球变暖”和“节约能源”等方面的问题。
由于人类过多使用不可再生能源,大气中二氧化碳的含量逐年增加,导致全球气温上升。
通过学习本单元,让学生了解能源分为“不可再生能源”和“可再生能源”,帮助学生树立“节约能源、保护环境”的主人翁意识。
语言知识和语言技能主要围绕“全球变暖”和“节约能源”这一主题设计的。
“热身”(Warming up) 部分要求学生列举家中、学校或其他地方使用能源的物体,指出这些能源的来源,并尽可能多地列举不同的能源。
能源可分为两类:一类是可再利用能源;另一类是一次性能源。
把前面列举的能源按能否再利用这一标准进行分类。
本部分提供了六幅图片,教师可以从识图开始组织教学。
还可以让学生搜集一些其他相关图片。
这六幅图分别为:风力(wind power)、燃煤发电站(a coal power station)、炼油厂(an oil refinery)、原子能发电站(a nuclear power plant)、太阳能接受器(solar panels)、水坝(a hydro dam)。
“读前”(Pre-reading) 部分首先介绍什么是温室、它有什么作用,然后要求学生讨论大气中温室气体的作用。
温室是由玻璃构成的建筑,主要用于花果蔬菜的培植。
温室是由玻璃构成的建筑,主要用于花果蔬菜的培植。
温室能阻止热量散发,因而能帮助植物度过寒冷的时期。
该部分的讨论有利于学生预测课文内容和理解阅读课文中的温室气体效应。
“阅读”(Reading) 部分是一篇杂志文章,主要讲述了地球温度上升的现象和原因。
20世纪中,地球的温度上升了华氏1度。
这看上去是一个很小的数字,但相对于自然界的其他现象来说,这个增长速度是迅猛的。
这种现象是自然发生的还是人为的?这个问题引起激烈的争论。
许多科学家认为,这种变化是人类燃烧矿物燃料所致。

WritingYou are going to make a poster to tell your schoolmates ways to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.For your reference:How To Reduce the Amount of Carbon Dioxide Going into the Air.Use public transportation, walk or bike to school or work. If you must drive, join a carpooland use a car that gets high mileage.● Use energy-efficient appliances and weatherize your home.●Use renewable energy sources, like solar heart or wind power ,which don’t emit carbondioxide.● Switch from coal and oil to natural gas in power plants and factories .Naturalgas releases theleast amount of carbon dioxide.Step 4. Listening and discussingNow turn to page 31. Li Ben is doing an interview with Professor Chen about the use of different sources. Read the statements and listen to the tape recording of the interview to decide which statement the professor does not agree with.We’ll have to stop using fossil fuels.About 90% of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels.We can replace fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy.Nuclear power is a good source of energy.In the future, we’ll need new technologies to replace fossil fuels.It’s the developed countries who are to blame for producing most of the carbon dioxide.Step 5. Closing downDiscuss what we individuals can do about global warming in groups of four.Step 6. HomeworkMake a poster for your school that tells Ss various ways they can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.。

environmental protection. 2.To develop students' sense of cooperative learning. 教学重、难点1.To enable the students to learn about global warming and to develop their reading ability. 2.To enable the students to talk about what we should do to prevent global warming. 教学过程 Step 1 Warming up1.Warming up by reading and talking :Read through the exercise with the class.Put students in groups of four to talk about what we use energy fo r ,what are the sources of these energy and whether the sources are renewable or non -renewable.Suggested answer :The six photos are :windmills ;a coal power station ;an oil refinery ;a nuclear power plant ;solar panels ;a hydro -electric dam.2.Warming up by discussion :Draw a form on the blackboard as follows :Things that use energySources of energyRenewable/non -renewableLet the students have a discussion and collect suggestions from students and write them under the appropriate heading.Suggested answer :Things that use energySources of energyRenewable/non -renewablelightscoalnon -renewableheating television cassette player video recorder computer fridge stove hairdryer ...oil non -renewable natural gas non -renewable wind power renewable solar energy renewable nuclear energy non -renewable hydro -electricpower renewable biomass energy renewable geothermal energy renewable tidal energyrenewableStep 2 Pre -reading1.Show a picture of a greenhouse to students and ask them what a greenhouse is made of and what its purpose is.Suggested answer :It's made of glass and plants can grow in it when it's cold outside.Ask the students how it works.Suggested answer :The glass traps the heat from the sun ,making the air warm so that plants grow better. 2.Ask students what they think “greenhouse gases” are and what they think greenhouse gases do.Look at the picture above and explain it to their partners.Suggested answer :Greenhouse gases perform the same function as the glass in a glasshouse :they trap the heat of the sun and keep the air surrounding the earth warm.This is called the greenhouse effect.)Step 3 Reading and comprehending 1.Fast readingAsk students to read the passage quickly so as to get the key words and general idea of each paragraph and answer the following questions :(1)What is the main topic of the article?________________________________________________________________________ (2)Who wrote the magazine article ?What is the name of the magazine?________________________________________________________________________(3)What are the names of the three scientists mentioned in the article ?Do they agree with one another? ________________________________________________________________________Suggested answers :(1)Global warming/the warming of the earth.(2)Sophie Armstrong ,Earth Care. (3)Dr Janice Foster ,Charles Keeling ,George Hambley.They don't agree with each other. 2.Detailed reading(1)Read the passage carefully and judge whether the statements are true(T) or false(F). ①Janice Foster believes that global warming is caused by the burning fossil fuels.( ) ②Natural gas is a greenhouse gas.( )③Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.( )④People accept Charles Keeling's data because he took accurate measurements.( )⑤Flooding could be one of the effects of future global warming.()⑥George Hambley believes scientists are just guessing about the effects of global warming.()⑦George Hambley is worried about the effects of carbon dioxide on plant growth.()⑧It is clear what the effects of global warming will be.()(Suggested answers:TFTTTTFF)3.Structure analyzingAsk students to read the text carefully and try to find out how many parts they can divide the text into and find out the main idea of each part.Part Main ideaPart 1(Paragraph ______)Part 2(Paragraphs ______ to ______)Part 3(Paragraphs ______ to ______)Part 4(Paragraph ______)Suggested answer:Part Main ideaPart 1(Paragraph 1) To introduce a debate over the issue of global warming.Part 2(Paragraphs 2 to 5) To illustrate how global warming comes about.Part 3(Paragraph 6) To list two different attitudes among scientists towards global warming.Part 4(Paragraph 7) It's up to readers to think and decide whether people should dosomething about global warming or not.Step 4Language studyDealing with any language problem if any(words or sentences students might not understand)to help the students to have a better understanding of the text.Step 5Listening,reading aloud and underliningAsk students to read the passage aloud to the tape and let them pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence.Tell them to pick out all the useful expressions or collocations from the passage while reading and copy them to the notebook after class as homework.Collocations:come about,There is no doubt that...,subscribe to,due to,greenhouse effect,quantities of,tend to,be trapped in,go up,result in,on the one hand...on the other hand,be opposed to,build up,keep on.Step 6RetellingAsk students to talk about global warming in their own words.Give them some key words and expressions on the blackboard.Then let them try to retell the passage.Step 7Homework1.Learn the useful new words and expressions in this part by heart.2.Try to find some data about global warming on the Internet,and show your class in the next period and talk about them.Step 8Reflection after teaching________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________教学参考About Global Warming(关于全球变暖)Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid -20th century and its projected continuation.Global surface temperature increased 0.74±0.18℃(1.33±0.32)between the start and the end of the 20th century.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was very likely caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.The IPCC also concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanic eruptions had a small cooling effect after 1950.These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 40 scientific societies and academies of science,including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 6.4℃(2.0 to 11.5)during the 21st century.The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions.Most studies focus on the period up to the year 2100.However,warming is expected to continue beyond 2100 even if emissions stop,because of the large heat capacity of the o ceans and the long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation,probably including expansion of subtropical deserts.Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers,permafrost and sea ice.Other likely effects include changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events,species extinctions,and changes in agricultural yields.Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe,though the nature of these regional variations is uncertain.Political and public debate continues regarding global warming,and what actions(if any)to take in response.The available options are mitigation to reduce further emissions;adaptation to reduce the damage caused by warming;and,more speculatively,geoengineering(地球工程)to reverse global warming.Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.。
