高中英语 Unit 2 The Olympic Games Period 2 Reading课后阅读
Unit 2 The Olympic Games Period 2 Reading课后阅读训练Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world.Everyfour years,a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen tocompete for the highest honours in sports.As many as 6,000 people takepart in over 20 sports.For the winners,there are gold medals andglory.But there is honour,too,for all who compete,win or lose.That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action.The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track.The custom is for the Greek team to march in first.For it was in Greece that the Olympics began.The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath(宣誓)on behalf of all the competitors.The judges and officials also take an oath.After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day.There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games.The rule is that there must be at least fifteen.The main events are in track and field,but it is a few days before these sports start.Each day the competitors take part in a different sport—riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country running.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the Games.They first competed in 1900,in tennis and golf.【语篇概述】本文主要讲夏季奥运会的情况,包括运动员、裁判、开幕式、各大项目等。

Unit 2 The Olympic Games一、教学对象分析本校学生英语水平整体较高，可是学生个性和知识水平差异大。
奥运会这个话题并不陌生，但学生对古代奥运会和现代奥运会的异同点并不是很清楚。
这篇文章以采访的形式向学生讲述这些知识，教师设计了一些课堂活动，以帮助学生获取信息，进一步激发学生的兴趣，提高课堂的积极性，逐步实现各项教学目标。
二、教材内容分析本案例是人教版《普通高中课程标准试验教科书·英语（必修）2》，第二单元阅读部分，本篇课文的标题是An Interview。
课文是一个虚拟的采访——两千多年前古希腊作家帕萨尼亚斯与一位北京奥运会志愿者李艳的对话，向学生介绍了古代和现代奥运会的异同以现代奥运会的一些基本情况。
随着问题的逐步展开，学生对奥运会的了解也越来越全面。
文章的这种设计给学生创设了语言情境，把描述竞技体育这一话题的语言内容变成了生动有趣的对话，让学生有一种身临其境的真实感受。
三、教学目标（1）帮助学生掌握重点单词和短语的用法，如 ancient, volunteer, regular, take part in, every four years, be admitted as 等。
进一步帮助学生理解课文中的难句。
（2）帮助学生在阅读的过程中，运用略读，寻读，细读的阅读技巧，提高学生用英语获取信息，处理信息，分析和解决信息的能力。
（3）通过阅读使学生熟悉奥运会，能用英语就奥运会的知识进行互问互答，并能阐述古代奥运会和现代奥运会的异同及现代奥运会的一些情况。
四、教学过程Step 1 Warming-up and lead-in (8mins)（1）视频热身 (4mins)教师通过播放北京申奥成功的视频，引出奥运会的话题。
T: Just now we enjoy a short video. What is it mainly about?S: People were very excited because our China succeeded in getting the right to host the 28th Olympic Games.T: Now Beijing has hosted the Olympic Games successfully. So you know more aboutthe Olympics.S: Yes.(2) 奥运知识小测导入 (4mins)T: So I’d like to give you a quiz to see how much you know about the Olympics. Are you ready?①Where did the ancient Olympic Games start? ( It was in Greece)…..[意图说明]教师用北京申奥成功视频导入，具有形象，生动的特点，能吸引学生的注意力。
再设计了一个奥运知识小测，激活学生已有奥运知识，让他们在阅读之前对奥运会的背景知识有个了解。
Step 2 Reading （25mins）（1）Pre-reading (3mins)Look at the title and introduce the words :interview，interviewer, interviewee. T: look at the title “An Interview”. Do you know what an interview is?Ss: An interview is an activity where people ask and answer questions.T: An interview contains two parts. One is an interviewer, while the other is an interviewee. What are they?Ss: An interviewer is the person who asks questions. An interviewee is the person who answers questions.[意图说明] 通过标题，先让学生了解采访，采访者和被采访者。
让学生在阅读之前熟悉这种文体。
(2) Skimming (6mins)Ⅰ. Skim the first paragraph to find outWho are the interviewer and the interviewee?Why has the interviewer come on a magical journey on March 18th, 2007? Ⅱ. Skim interviewer’s word s to find out what questions does he ask?Ⅲ. Summarize the main idea.T: OK, everyone, this time I want everyone to skim the first paragraph and find outWho are the interviewer and the interviewee?Why has the interviewer come on a magical journey on March 18th, 2007?S1: The interviewer is Pausanias. The interviewee is Li Yan.S2: Pausanias wants to find out the information about present-time Olympic Games. T: Now, s kim interviewer’s word s to find out what questions does he ask?Ss: …….T: Let’s read these questions aloud together.Ss: ……T: Can you summarize the main idea from these questions?Ss: The passage wants to tell us the similarities and differences.[意图说明] 略读设计了两个任务，第一个是了解文章的人物，第二个是找出Pausanias 问的问题。
这两个任务主要是引导学生预测并总结出文章的主要内容。
(3) Scanning (pair work) （8mins）After the interview, Pausanias is going to share what he has learnt with his friends in Greece.
