The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of ruins.They shouted at the ruins again and again，knocked the bricks using the crowbar(铁棍)， but no response inside. Then the rescuing team went to next building，suddenly the leader ran back，calling “come here”.He came to the body，stretched his hands under the woman， feeling and touching，then shouted loudly “there is someone，a baby，still living” . Through some efforts，rescuers cleaned up the ruins carefully which blocked her.Under her body lay her baby，who was wrapped in a small red quilt with yellow flowers scattered in red.He was about 3 or 4 months’ old.Since well protected by mother’s body，he was totally safe.He was sleeping on both ears when the rescuer carried him out，and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him.The doctor along with the rescuing team unfastened the quilt to check if the baby was all right，and he found there was a mobile phone filled in the quilt.The doctor looked at the screen subliminally，a written message was already there: “My dear baby， if you could fc1 live，don’t forget how much I love you”.As a doctor，he experienced too much of parting forever；but at this moment，he wept.The mobile was passed， every person who saw this message shaded tears.Section One Warming Up and ReadingⅠ.Lead in 1.Who can remember what happened in Yushu，in Qinghai Province in the year 2010?A terrible earthquake broke out there on April 14th.More than 2,200 people were killed. 2.Do you know any other natural disasters?tornadoes；typhoons/hurricanes；volcano eruption；drought；floods；etc. 3.Can you tell some famous land earthquakes?

Unit4 Earthquakes教学设计 新课标 人教版 教案
Unit4 Earthquakes教学设计课题名称：Unit 4 Earthquakes 第二课时（阅读课）授课时间：40 分钟（一）学生分析高中阶段的学生已有一定的英语基础，但是不同的学生情况不同，我校大部分学生来自周边各乡镇，他们的英语程度参差不齐。
虽然掌握了一定的语言知识，有一定的学习能力，可是普遍存在着不良的阅读习惯、较差的阅读能力和知识面狭窄等问题。
根据高中教学的要求，不仅要提高学生的阅读理解能力和语言水平，同时也不能忽视学生的阅读速度。
（二）教材分析本单元以地震为话题，介绍了地震这一自然现象，使大家对地震的起因、前兆、危害及如何在震中自救等有了较全面的了解。
尤其是告诉学生地震是可怕的，但是人们应尽力减少由地震引起的损失，相信未来是光明的。
本单元所包含的练习体现了学以致用的目的。
这些练习让学生思考如何去避免地震带来的损失要有正确的认识，要以积极的态度来对待它。
具体分析如下：（1） Warming Up 用唐山和旧金山的两幅图片导入本单元，旨在让学生运用有关知识去描述所见图片，并发挥想象力来描述地震后这两座城市的情景。
带着疑问去学新知识，来加强自己对地震的认识。
另一方面，它也为学生提供了功能项目、短语词汇和语法知识方面的练习。
（2） Pre-reading 是 Warming Up 的延续。
它设置了两个开放性问题，目的是增加学生的生活常识，提高他们的应变能力。
这部分为接下来的阅读作了很好的铺垫，学生可通过讨论，参阅有关的书籍并运用一些生活常识来回答这两个问题。
（3） Reading部分具体描写1976年河北唐山大地震的震前，震中和震后。
作者详细描述了地震来临前的一些不正常的自然现象及动物的反常表现，地震的来势汹汹，并在顷刻间将整座城市夷为平地和地震结束后人们勇敢地面对事实并及时地实施抢救和重建工作。
本课词汇量大，并运用了大量的动词，使得描写更为生动，文中还有不少复杂的数字，这又增加了文章的阅读难度，另外文章中出现了许多定语从句，对学生的语言阅读能力提出了更高的要求。
