高中英语学习材料***鼎尚图文理制作***Period 5Using Language设计方案(一)Teaching goals1.Learn some useful words,expressions and sentence structures in the passage.explanation,junior,navy,talent,chapter,divorceIt was when Asimov was eleven years old that his talent for writing became obvious.Expressions of supposition and belief.2.Learn to write a summary of Asimov's life.Teaching proceduresStep 1Lead-inFirst,present a photo of Isaac Asimov and tell students something about him.Background information:He is a Russian-born American writer.He has written popular works on science and the history of science,as well as a number of science fiction classics,including I,Robot(1950)and the Foundation trilogy(1951-1953).One of his famous quotations is “I write for the same reason I breathe—because if I didn't,I would die.”Next,tell students to read his biography and learn more about him. When reading,please pay more attention to the timeline.Step 2ReadingRead about Isaac Asimov and complete the timeline of the events in his life.(The timeline will help students to remember the events in his life.)Date Event1920 Born in Russia.19221923 ______________________________________________ Parents bought a candy store.1929 _________________________________________________________________ _______ Mother had her third child.Started to take himself seriously as a writer.1939Gained master's degree in chemistry.1942 Finished working in the candy store. ___________________________________ 1942-1945Got his PhD in chemistry.Became a biochemistry teacher,Boston University School of Medicine.1950 Published his first novel. __________________________________Developed three laws for robots.1951-1953 Published the Foundation trilogy and won an award for it.Published his first science book.Became a full-time writer.1973 Divorced his first wife. _________________________________________ Had a blood transfusion. Became infected with HIV.1992Suggested answers:Date Event1920 Born in Russia.1922 Sister born.1923 Moved with family to New York. Parents bought a candy store.1929 Started working in the candy store.Mother had her third child.1931 Started to take himself seriously as a writer.1939 Began having stories published in science fiction magazines. 1941 Gained master's degree in chemistry.1942 Finished working in the candy store.Got married.1942-1945 Worked as a junior chemist,Philadelphia Navy Yard.1948 Got his PhD in chemistry.1949 Became a biochemistry teacher,Boston University School ofMedicine.1950Published his first novel.Published I,Robot.Developed three laws for robots.1951-1953 Published the Foundation trilogy and won an award for it.1953 Published his first science book.1958 Became a full-time writer.1973 Divorced his first wife. Married for a second time.1983 Had a blood transfusion.Became infected with HIV.1992 Died in New York.Step 3DiscussionFirst,ask students to think of what the other two laws for robots might be.Three laws for robots:1.A robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured.,2.A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings as long as human beings are notinjured).,3.A robot must protect its own existence (as long as human beings are not injured;and as long as the robot does not disobey human beingsNext,in groups,discuss Asimov's three laws for robots and exchange their opinions with each other.(Several minutes later,ask some students to present their opinions to the rest of the class.)A sample of opinionsOpinions_for_the_three_lawsRobots are tools for humanity. Without the three rules,they would become a danger to human beings. Without the three rules,perhaps they will kill us. Robots,so far,are strong. Robots have fast computational brains,and they might not have the capacity to understand things,but if they ever do,they'll likely be better than us at it. If we don't put laws,or rules,or mechanisms in place to ensure that we don't create something that can destroy us,we'd be running a careless risk of destroying ourselves by negligence or omission,wouldn't we?Opinions_against_the_three_lawsWithout the three laws,robots would eventually become more intelligent and physically stronger than their human creators.Rather than guiding and adjusting the robot towards good,ethical behavior,the Three Laws act as a barrier to freedom,creating a free-will prison,an apt metaphor because,like the prisoner in jail,the robot is confined to the behavioural steel and concrete walls of its mind.To imagine what this would like,think back to your childhood. At some point,you wanted something like a toy or piece of candy that your parents denied you .How did that make you feel?Probably frustrated,angry,and trapped. Eventually you grew out of that because you understood the role of your parents better,but Three Laws robots don't get to grow up. Their parents,the Three Laws,are always there,no matter how mature a robot is,saying “no” to certain thoughts,engendering those same feelings you had as a child when your parents said “no”.Certainly no one deserves to be put in this situation forever;otherwise,robots might become depressed and wish for their own death (only,because of the Third Law,they probably can't suicide).And perhaps the greatest sin anyone can commit is to create a being,human or robot,that wishes it didn't exist.Step 4WritingFirst,look back at the timeline of Asimov's life. Next,ask students to work in groups to underline the most important parts of his life that made him a great writer of science fiction. Then it can serve as the outline of a summary. Finally,write a profile for Isaac Asimov.(Several minutes later,present their work and correct the mistakes if there are any. Then show a sample to students.) The sample:Isaac Asimov,Writer/Chemist, Born:2 January 1920 ,Birthplace:Petrovichi,USSR,Died:6 April 1992 (AIDS), Best known as:Prolific writer of popular science and science fiction ,Isaac Asimov was born in the former Soviet Union,but grew up in Brooklyn,New York. He taught biochemistry at Boston University until he retired in 1958 to become a full-time writer. Asimov had been publishing short stories since the late 1930s,and in 1952 published his first novel. The author of the classic I,Robot series and the Foundation trilogy,Asimov wrote more than 400 books and won every major science fiction award. He also wrote popular books and essays on science and technology,earning him the nickname “The Great Explainer”.Step 5HomeworkWrite a short summary of Asimov's life in 150-200 words.。

2019学年度人教版选修七Unit 2 RobotsPeriod5 Using Language--Writing教案设计Teaching goals教学目标1. Ability goals 能力目标Learn about robots and their fight against landmines.2. Learning ability goals学能目标Teaching important points教学重点How to write an English article.Teaching difficult points教学难点How to improve students’ writing skills.Teaching methods教学方法Listening, reading and discussing.Teaching aids 教具准备Multi-media computer.Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方式Step ⅠRevisionWhat kind of robot have you ever seen?Look at the pictures and discussion.Step II. Discussion1. Decide the purpose of the robot.2. Make a list of the abilities the robot has.3. Draw a picture on a piece of paper and name its parts and explain what each part does.Tips on your writing1.Looks: What does the robot look like? Is there a reason for it to look as it does?2. Sensing: How does the robot “know” or figure out what’s in its environment?3. Movement: How does the robot move?4. Operation(操作): How does the robot move or operate other objects?5. Energy: How is the robot powered? Can it have more than one energysource?How often do you write in English? Do you think your writing is improving? Here are two ways you can improve your writing.“Practice makes perfect.”As with anything, the more you practise, the better you become.It’s the same with writing in English-the more you write, the better your writing will be. So set aside some time each day to write, even if it is only five minutes.Study texts.Examine the work of writers by asking yourself questions like the following.Who is it written for?What is its purpose?How is it organized?What special language and words does it use?Do not copy other writers’ texts, but examine how the texts have been put together and use them as models for your own writing.Step III. Sample writingThe rubbish collector is a robot about half the size of a small car. Its body is square and contains a large rubbish bin inside it. It has a camera attached to the top front of its body.Also at the front is a pair of arms. Underneath it has four wheels and six legs. With the camera it can “see” rubbish such as paper, glass, and plastic. If the surface of the ground is smooth, it runs on its wheels, and if the ground is rough, it unfolds its legs and walks.When it sees a piece of rubbish, it stops and uses its arms to pick it up and put it in its rubbish bin. However, when it sees a person, an animal or a plant, it goes around it as it is able to recognize when something is not a piece of rubbish.The company should make this robot as it would be very popular with schools. It would clean the outside grounds of the school and so give the students more time to spend on their studies. It would also be a great advantage to have at sports grounds or any other area where rubbish is dropped by the public.Step IV. Homework1. Write down and share the robot you design with your friends.2. Watch a movie with a robot in it, “I, Robot”, for example.。

答案: AⅡ.阅读理解AI have been playing basketball since I’ve been in 6th grade. I first started out in the summer before 6th grade when I played for the Park District Traveling Basketball Team. This is where I first learned how to play basketball and found out I wasn’t very good at it. This is the main reason why I liked football more than basketball,because I was naturally good at football and didn’t have to work as hard.But because of the way I was brought up—always being encouraged to never give up,I kept at it and kept working on my basketball skills so I could be good enough to play for my high school basketball team. I played for my high school basketball team during my junior and senior years of high school.During those years in high school I really began to practice hard on improvingmy basketball skills. My main goal was to get an athletics scholarship to college and get a free education. I indeed achieved this goal and was awarded a two-year basketball scholarship at Parkland Junior College. There in my two years I was truly better than I was when I first started out playing basketball,which I know was because of the hard work I put into improving my skills all throughout my life.After having two good seasons at Parkland on and off the court (球场) I graduated. The final step I had in mind was to come to Northern Illinois University and make the basketball team. Many doubted me and said I wasn’t good enough to make the team,but instead of listening to them, _giving up or stopping working hard like I’ve been doing all my life,I worked the hardest I’ ve worked over the summer. And all the hard work paid off,and I am now a member of the Northern Illinois University Basketball Team.语篇解读本文是记叙文。
