二、教学背景分析教学内容分析：阅读部分的课文，分别介绍了美洲土著人、西班牙人、俄罗斯人、金矿工人、后来移民、最近移民与未来移民，使学生认识到加州是一个多民族、多元文化的地方，并对加州的变化、发展过程有更深的了解，培养学生的跨文化交际意识，进一步拓宽视野。
学生情况分析：高中阶段，大部分高中生学习英语是迫于高考的需要，学习兴趣不浓，因此培养学生积极的学习动机非常重要。
教师在英语教学中，要帮助学生全面认识英语学习的价值，不断激发并强化学生的学习兴趣，并引导他们逐渐将兴趣转化为稳定的学习动机，使学生树立英语学习自信心；充分挖掘教材中的文化资源，通过加强文化导入来培养学生的语言文化能力，促使学生对英语社会与文化的态度朝着积极的方向发展；通过改变教学方法和创造性的教学活动设计促进学生对英语学习形成积极态度，把教师的教学目的转化成为学生自己的学习目的和需求。

After the race to the South Pole ended in 1912 withRoald Amundsen's conquest, Shackleton turned his attention to what he said was the one remaining great object of Antarctic journeying–the crossing of the continent from sea to sea, via the pole. To this end he made preparations for what became theImperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1914–17. Disaster struck this expedition when its ship,Endurance, was trapped inpack iceand slowly crushed, before the shore parties could be landed. There followed a sequence of exploits, and an ultimate escape with no lives lost, that would eventually assure Shackleton's heroic status, although this was not immediately evident.[1]In 1921 he went back to theAntarcticwith theShackleton-Rowett Expedition, intending to carry out a programme of scientific and survey activities. Before the expedition could begin this work Shackleton died of a heart attack while his ship,Quest, was moored inSouth Georgia. At his wife's request he was buried there.
