①Seeing is believing.眼见为实。
(2)动名词作主语时谓语动词常常使用第三人称单数。
②Travelling along the old Silk Road is an interesting and rewarding experience.沿着古老的丝绸之路旅行是既有趣又有益的经历。

③as well as用于同级比较，意为：和……一样好。

【句式解读】had castles built是“have sth done”结构，castles与build之间为被动关系，故用过去分词作宾补。
【用法总结】have/get sth done属于“have/get＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，它表示两种意义：(1)使某事被做(主语有意识的行为，可能是主语自己做，也可能是让别人做)①The patient is going to have his temperature taken.这个病人准备请/叫/让人给他量体温。

(Wonder)H owever,they complain that they have much trouble in listening and speaking,forgetting what they've heard quickly.And they have a strong desire to have more to say rather than 1 or 2 words. (To learn)Thus,listening strategies with three steps will be presented ahead of time.Then Ss may find it relatively relaxing to share views on historic sites to practice listening and speaking,the purpose of which is to strengthen their national identity and cultural confidence.Teaching aims:1.Enable students to get familiar with the vocabulary of“Confucius,Temple ofConfucius,Confucius' descendants,Confucius 'educational thoughts”.2.Guide students to understand some English idioms and their related cultural allusions.3.Help students to talk about Confucius 'ideas on education and introduce the historyand importance of a historic site.Teaching key and difficult points:1.To help students to get familiar with the vocabulary of“Confucius,Temple ofConfucius,Confucius' descendants,Confucius' educational thoughts".2.To enable students to understand English idioms and the related cultural allusions.3.To lead students to talk about Confucius' educational thoughts.Teaching procedures:Step I Lead-inLook at the Opening Page and have a discussion.1.How do you understand the quote“A people without the knowledge of their past history,origin and culture is like a tree without roots"by Marcus Garvey?2.Why is it important to protect historic buildings and cultural traditions?Suggested answers:1.In this quote,Garvey is emphasizing the importance of knowledge about the history of yourcountry and people.He uses“people”in the countable form to refer to all the persons who live in a particular place or belong to a particular country,race,or other groups.In Garvey's case,race is especially important.A tree is a good metaphor for a group of people.For example,we talk about“family trees”,which detail our relatives across time.A tree without roots would easily fall down and die.The roots also feed the tree.The roots of a tree cannot usually be seen,but they often spread deep and wide.In this way,a people's history also has deep roots that spread far and wide.If people do not know about their history,they will not learn from the past and will not be able to develop and progress well into the future. 2.It is important to protect historic buildings and cultural traditions because they are a recordof our shared history and tell us a lot about who we are as a country and people.Step ⅡListeningActivity 1 Warming upLook at some photos ofQufu.What can you say about these places?Suggested answers:Activity 11.Temple of Confucius:The most famous and largest temple honoring the great sage.It is also aUNESCO World Heritage Site.It covers 16,000 square meters and has 460 rooms.The main part consists of nine courtyards with several gates.Dacheng Hall stands at the centre and isthe principal place for offering sacrifices to Confucius.2.Kong Family Mansion:Located to the east of the Temple of Confucius,this was the historicalhome of the descendants of Confucius from where they managed sites and ceremonies in Qufu.Today it is a museum.3.Cemetery of Confucius:This is where Confucius and his descendants are buried.There are morethan 10,000 of them,buried here over 2,000 years.The cemetery has had many renovations and extensions in its history.Activity 2 PredictionPredict what the listening text is about by looking at Activity 2 on page 38.Suggested answer:The listening text is probably about the introduction of a great educator—Confucius.Activity 3 First listeningListen to a conversation between a British tourist and a Chinese student in Qufu,and then write down what they say about Confucius.(红色为学生作答)Activity 4 Second listening1.Listen again and decide whether these statements are true(T),false(F),or not mentioned(NM).(1)Confucius said that learning without understanding leads to confusion.( )(2)Xiao Kong is doing a research project on Confucius philosophy.( )(3)As one of Confucius' descendants,Xiao Kong's name is recorded in the family tree.((4)Dacheng Hall is the tallest building in Qufu.( )2.Answer the question:Why do you think William said his hometown was similar to Qufu?A.There are famous halls in his hometown.B.There are no tall buildings in his hometown.C.Both places have a famous person who was born there.D.His hometown doesn't allow other buildings to be more noticeable than the historic buildings. Suggested answers:1.(1)F(2)F(3)NM(4)T 2.DActivity 5 Third listeningWrite down the English idioms that are used in the conversation.Explaintheir meanings and think about some Chinese equivalents.(红色为学生作答部分)SteplIISpeakingActivity 1 Draw a mind map to sort out the information about Confucius in this class and listActivity 2 Think about a historic site that you have visited,work in groups and give anintroduction to its historyand importance.and statues.They were constructed over many dynasties and are an important record of tradition and belief in China during that time.StepIV Homework1.Must:Explorative assignment(探究性作业):Output a n essay with requirements below.(30′)假如你是来自21世纪的李华，有幸穿越时空遇见孔子，你想对他说些什么?要点如下：(1)孔子及其弟子的言行和思想汇聚成《论语》,在全世界广为传播，并举例说明；(2)结合日常学习生活阐述孔子的“温故而知新”对你的影响；Key words:The Analects of Confucius《论语》;Review the old and learn the new 温故而知新注意：可适当增加细节，恰当描述你对孔子想说的话。
新人教版教材高一英语必修二第四单元unit4history and traditions课文
Unit4 history and traditionsWHAT’S IN A NAME?the United Kingdom, Great Britain, Britain, England-many people are confused by what these different names mean. So what is the difference between them, if any? Getting to know a little bit about British history will help you solve this puzzle.In the 16th century, the nearby country of Wales was joined to the Kingdom of England. Later, in the 18th century, the country Scotland was joined to create the Kingdom of Great British. In the 19th century, the Kingdom of Ireland was added to create the United Kingdom of Great British and Ireland. Finally, in the 20th century, the southern part of Ireland broke away from the UK, which resulted in the full name we have today: the United Kingdom of Great British and Northern Ireland. Most people just use the shortened name: “the United Kingdom” or “the UK”. People from the UK are called “British”, which means the UK is also often referred to as Britian or Great Britain.The four countries that belong to the United Kingdom work together in some areas. They use the same flag, known as the Union Jack, as well asshare the same currency and military defence. However, they also have some differences. For examples, England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland all have different education systems and legal systems. They also have their own traditions, like their own national days and national dishes. And they even have their own football teams for competitions like the World Cup!The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history to explore, which can help you understand much more about the country and its traditions. Almost everywhere you go in the UK, you will be surrounded by evidence of four different groups of people who took over at different times throughout history. The first group, the Romans, came in the first century. Some of their great achievements included building towns and roads. Next . the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the fifth century. They introduced the beginning of the English language, and changed the way people built houses. The Viking came in the eighth century, left behind lots of new vocabulary, and also the names of many locations across the UK. The last group were the Normans. They conquered England after the well -known Battle of Hashing in the 11th century. They had castles built all around England, and made changes to the legal system. The Normans were French, so many French words slowly entered into the English language.There is so much more to learn about the interesting history and culture of the United Kingdom. Studying the history of the country will make your visit much more enjoyable. The capital city London is a great place to start, as it is an ancient port city that has a history dating all the way back to Roman times. There are countless historic sites to explore, and lots of museums with ancient relics from all over the UK. The UK is a fascinating mix of history and modern culture, with both new and old traditions. If you keep your eyes open, you will be surprised to find that you can see both its past and its present.Reading and writingBEAUTIFUL IRELAND AND ITS TRADITIONSIreland’s beautiful countryside has always had a great influence on its people and traditions. The country has a long history of producing great writers and poets. Its beautiful countryside excites and inspires all, offering something for each of the senses. The peaceful landscape of the “Emerald Isle” and its many green counties is a true feast for the eyes, with its rolling green hills dotted with sheep and cattle. And down by the sea, the roar of the ocean waves and cries of the seabirds make up the music of the coast. On a quiet morning in the mountains, feel the sun on your skin, and breathe in the sweet scent of fresh flowers while birds greet the new day with their morning song. With all this beauty, it is not surprising that Ireland has developed strong traditions that included music,dancing,and dining. To have a chance of experiencing this, stop bya village pub and relax with a glass of wine or a local beer. Better yet, enjoy a delicious traditional Irish Beef Stew. If you’re lucky, you might be able to enjoy some traditional music and dancing, too. And if you introduce yourself to a friendly face, you are more than likely to experience local culture and customs first-hand.。
