Unit 4 Astronomy：the science of the stars 【美文阅读】关于大地起源的神话有许多许多，你了解多少呢？The sky and the earth were at first one blurred entity(混沌整体) like an egg. Then Pangu was born into it. The separation of the sky and the earth took eighteen thousand years. The yang which was light and pure rose to become the sky，and the yin which was heavy and murky(黑暗的)sank to form the earth. Between them was Pangu, who went through nine changes every day, his wisdom greater than that of the sky and his ability greater than that of the earth. Every day the sky rose ten feet higher, the earth became ten feet thicker, and Pangu grew ten feet taller. Another eighteen thousand years passed, and there was an extremely high sky, an extremely thick earth, and an extremelytall Pangu. After Pangu died, his head turned into the Five Sacred Mountains(Mount Tai, Mount Heng, Mount Hua, Mount Heng, Mount Song), his eyes turned into the moon and the sun, his blood changed into water in river and sea, his hair into grass. In all, the universe and Pangu combine in one.【诱思导学】1．Do you agree on the forming of the universe？Give your reasons.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2．What kind of people is Pangu in your eyes?________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 1.No，I don't agree.Because the scientists have already found out how the universe formed.2．I think Pangu is very great and determined.He is a hero.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，就下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。

.2. To develop Ss’ ability in listening and speaking.Teaching Procedures:Step 1. Leading- inGive Ss a few minutes to say something about science by asking the following questions.（1.）Who is the first man in space，do you know？（2.）Which spaceship did Yang Liwei take to space？（3.）Do you want to go to space if you are given a chance?Step 2. Warming UpPurpose: To introduce the topic of this unit to Ss in the form of asking questions and discussion.Ask some Ss the questions first and then get Ss to discuss with each other. If time permits, have one or two groups present their answers to the whole class. (1) How many subjects are we studying now?（2）Do you have some scientific studying methods to learn them well?(3) As you see, a large number of students want to become scientists in thefuture. But what kind of qualities and skills do we need to be realscientists?Step 3. Talking (Workbook)1. Divide Ss into six groups, and ask them to talk about the request of Talking on P62 and answer the following questions. Different students will give different answers. Make notes of some valuable information and make a conclusion at last. (1) What necessary instructions should new space travelers make?(2) Can you make a list of them?2. Show Ss some beautiful pictures of the university and say, “Now look at the pictures. How beautiful the Universe is! It is also full of mysteries. Have you ever dreamed of flying to the space like Yang Liwei to unlock the mysteries of the universe? If you could, what things should you pay attention to?”3. Encourage Ss to give as much information as possible. After the discussion, write down some key words and important expressions on the blackboard to help Ss to have the sense of traveling in space .Conclusion:Before making a trip into space, we’d better make full preparations, such as : collecting as much information about the space as possible; checking whether you have got the proper spacesuits or not; making sure of all the safety rules; not leaving the spaceship alone unless the space guide tells you to; paying attention to recording some important time during the space traveling and so on.Step 3. Listening (Workbook)Purpose: To develop Ss’ listening ability.To gain some experience of traveling in space1. Get Ss to look through the exercises before giving them the listening material. At the same time remind them of the new and key words: astronaut, experience, instruments, pilot, air force, rocket.2.

高中英语真题：Unit4 Astronomy-thescienceofthestars_9

Unit4 Astronomy:thescienceofthestarsⅠ.单句语法填空1．What is more important in life is to have a great goal and t he determination to achieve it.2．Why he failed in the exam is still a mystery and his parent s want to find out the reason.3．It's known that knowledge is treasure and practice is the k ey to success.4．Happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you ha ve; it only depends on what you think of your life.5．When you are in love with a person, you will feel that you are the happiest person in the world.6．It's expected that you will spread love wherever you go. 7．I'm not interested in what you have to do; I just need the r esult.8．Whether we will go sightseeing this weekend depends on t he weather.9．What I wanted to find out first was how long it would take t o finish the task.10．When they will have the sports meeting is still a question,for they have so many things to do.Ⅱ.阅读理解Your math teacher wears clothes made in 1985 and always m ispronounces your name. Your English teacher loves to start classes with quick quizzes. It can be hard to think of these giv ers of grades as real people. But they eat pizza, watch movie s and enjoy sports on weekends, just like you. So how can yo u get along well with your teachers?You can do lots of things to develop a good relationship with y our teacher. First, do the obvious things: Show up in class on time with all tasks completed. Stay focused, be respectful and ask questions. Second, show an interest in the subject. Obvi ously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects, or t hey wouldn't have decided to teach them! Show the teacher t hat you care about the subject－even if you're not a math talent or fluent in French－and send the message that you are a hardworking student. You can also schedule a private meeting in a teacher's free ti me. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, ask for info rmation about a career (职业) in the subject or talk about your progress in class. You ma y be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed when only facing you than when teaching in front of the whole class.What if you just don't like the teacher? When it comes to worki ng with teachers, one's characteristics can come into play just as they can in any other relationships. People just naturally g et along better with some people than with others; it's impossi ble to like everyone all the time. Learning to work with people you don't like is a good interpersonal (人际的) skill to have in life, no matter what your goals are. Teachers are there for more than just homework; they know a bout more than their subject matters. They can help you learn how to behave as an adult and a lifelong learner. Undoubtedl y, there will be a few teachers along the way who you'll alway s remember－and who might change your life forever.【文章大意】在求学的过程中，作为学生我们每天都会和老师接触与交流，那么你知道如何与老师们相处吗？1．How can students develop a good relationship with their te achers?A．By learning as many subjects as possible.B．By respecting other students in class.C．By finishing their homework on time.D．By developing personal interests.解析：C 细节理解题。

高中英语 Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars单元综合

Unit 4 Astronomy: the science of the stars(时间：90分钟总分为：110分)第一局部阅读理解(共两节；总分为30分)第一节(共10小题；每一小题2分，总分为20分)阅读如下短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最优选项。

AWhat science fiction (story) once told about other worlds far away is now a fact. Astronomers (experts at the science of the universe) prove another solar(of the sun)system like ours with some planets in the constellation Andromeda(仙女座)．Geoffrey Marcy is a professor of astronomy and physics at San Francisco State University and says, “What we have found now，for the first time ever, is indeed a fully－grown system －of planets around the star Upsilon Andromeda. It appears to have three planets，one close in，one at a middle distance，and one farther out. The star is slightly larger than our sun. The planets are huge，like our Jupiter(木星)．〞Marcy's partner in this research，Debra Fischer, describes the solar system，“Here are the inner planet that goes around every 46 days, the middle planet that goes around every 242 days, and then the outer planet that goes around every three and a half to four years.〞Astronomically, it's not far away, 44 light years. The sun of that solar system，Upsilon Andromeda，is so near and bright that it can be seen by using no equipment during summer and fall.For twelve years astronomers searched the skies in the belief that if our sun has planets around it, surely others do, too. Geoffrey Marcy says, “And then starting three and a half years ago, we began finding for the first time planets singly, one planet here around one star...〞“When I look up at the stars now at night, I can imagine easily that every one of them has planets around them，〞 says Debra Fischer.It was a tremble (shaking)in the star that led Marcy to the planets. “The star rocks around due to the gravity of the planet as a dog owner gets pulled around by a little dog.〞Can they support life? We don't know, because present technology is not advanced enough to determine what the planets are made of. That, Marcy says，is astronomy's next challenge.1．What's the relation between Andromeda (A), Upsilon Andromeda system(U)and the mentioned three planets(P)?ABCD答案与解析：B 推理判断题。
