《化学与健康》单元复习稿 讲课思路: 【课前学生欣赏《舌尖上的中国》视频】。
问:猜猜看,中国人和熟人见面打招呼说的最多的一句话是什么?(吃了吗?)今天中午你们吃了吗?在学校吃小饭桌的同学都吃了什么?【午餐】这样的一份午餐中都含有哪些营养素?是否科学?同学们选择不同的分类标准,将这些营养素可分为哪两类?你的分类依据是什么?【 在学习化学的过程中,可以根据学习的需要,从不同的角度给物质分类】这几种物质在人体中的作用分别是什么?(生回答)。
水和无机盐的作用是什么?生回答有没有同学补充?【提供信息】(能否扩充点生活中水和无机盐的使用的小常识等) 到了初四,同学们的学习任务和压力都很大,很多家长开始为大家增加营养了,这样的一份午餐食谱【午餐食谱:主食:大米饭。
配菜:红烧肉、煎鸡蛋、炸鸡腿、豆腐汤。
同学们,是否合理?若不合理,如何改进?】 再提供两份晚餐食谱供大家选【你的选择】你会选择哪一种?(生选择)你的选择依据是?大多数家庭晚餐准备时间充裕,吃的丰富,所以在考虑营养素全面的同时,常根据个人喜好选择自己喜欢的饮食。
给大家提供这样的信息【晚餐最好这样吃】你还会如何选择? “吃”是一门学问,一日三餐,除了营养素要全面,品质也应各有侧重,咱们通常如何描述?早餐注重营养,午餐强调全面,晚餐要求清淡,还要注意食物搭配,包括粗与细、干与稀、荤与素、冷与热等均衡,这就是我们所说的“均衡膳食”。
营养素全面,比例适当,有什么意义?(人体内所含的营养元素就全面、平衡了)【世界是物质的,物质都由元素组成】同时板书并描述:营养素均衡了,人体所需的营养元素也就平衡了。
人体内含量较高的四种元素是?称为元素?通过摄入哪些物质来获取这些元素?其他的常量元素和微量元素主要以什么形式存在于人体内。
人体内所有元素都是必须的吗?当然还有非必需和有害的。
若人体所需的某种营养元素过多或过少,都会引发疾病,你能将下列项目连到一起吗?【疾病与元素过多过少对号入座;白板】我国的膳食模式中哪两种元素的缺乏较常见?若体内长期摄入不足,就要选择合适的药品和保健品补充。

Though第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分60分)第一节(共15小题:每小题3分,满分45分)ADespite their name, the Want Family don’t want much. They want enough money for a nice house and a holiday every year. But they don’t want to be millionaires. They want to do well at their jobs. But they don’t want to be the big boss. They do want to spend time improving their garden, visiting their families and taking their two kids, Nicolas and Leuan, to McDonald’s for lunch. But they don’t want to be famous.The Wants just want to be normal. That’s why they are famous. They have been selected as the most normal family in Britain. After a six-month search for the most ordinary family in Britain, the Wants were selected from hundreds of applicants.John Want works in marketing for a food company. Claire has a part-time job renting out children’s play equipment. John doesn’t understand why they were chosen to represent ordinary English families. How are they normal?That is not a bad question. Nearly everyone does some of the things that the Wants do. But very few people do all of them. There have been great changes in the social structure of British life. It is becoming more common for people to have children when they are older than the Wants, and to have one child instead of two. A household with two children may be headed by a single parent, usually the mother. Or perhaps dad and mum are still together, but not married. Or maybe dad and mum are married. Dad goes out to work and mum stays at home and looks after the kids. They have traditional values. Every weekend the whole family goes to church.“What we have here is not an average family, but a traditional family,” says Cary Cooper, professor of philosophy at Lancaster University. “There is no such thing as a normal familyanymore, in the way there was 20 or 30 years ago. Of course the Wants exist, but for what do we need to celebrate them?” Perhaps because we think normal families are an endangered species. Examples of them have to be preserved to show future generations.36. The Wants were selected as the most normal family in Britain because________.A. they represent traditional English familiesB. they don’t want muchC. they don’t want to be famousD. they want to be normal37. The following statements describe the great changes in British life EXCEPT _________.A. people have kids later than 20 or 30 years agoB. some children are brought up by a single parentC. it’s more common for families to have only one kidD. most families go to church every weekend38. We may infer from the passage that __________.A. most of British families hold traditional valuesB. future generations are eager to learn from traditional familiesC. traditional families are becoming fewer and fewerD. traditional families no longer exist in Britain39. What might be the most suitable title for this passage?A. An Ordinary FamilyB. A Normal But Special FamilyC. Celebration of a Family CompetitionD. Families of Future GenerationsBGeneral Electric has found robots far more productive in some work than human workers. In one case, a robot saved enough to pay for itself in ten months. At Ford Motor Company, about fifty small robots are deftly fitting light bulbs into dashboards and speakers into car radios.The next phase of the computer revolution may well turn out to be the robot revolution. Robots have been fixtures in comedy and science fiction for a long time, but the first industrial robot wasn’t used in the U nited States until 1961. Industrial robots scarcely resemble the stereotyped humanoid with flashing eyes and a combinations chest. They’re basically just combinations of a computer with very deft and efficient producing machines. What’s really new, of course, is the extent to which these electronic wonders are transforming the way people work and the composition of the work force, especially in Japan. There are about 36,000 robots working in Japan and approximately 6,500 in the United States. In early 1982, Raymond Donovan, U.S. Secretary of Labor, predicted that by 1990 half the workers in U.S. factories would be specialists trained to service and repair robots.It’s easy to see why these “steel-collar workers”can be preferable to their human counterparts. They cause fewer personnel problems: they're never absent, and they never ask for more holidays, take vacations, or file grievances. They also give more consistent attention to quality control, are more efficient and effective performers, and are definitely cheaper to keep. Robots, which cost about $30,000 to $150,000 each, usually work two shifts a gay. The displaced workers would draw salaries and benefits of about $790,000 a year. However, robots still cannot replace all facets of the human worker. The automated factory is feasible, but when it comes to reason and informed decisions, robots are still in the same league with machines, at least for now.40. The details given in the underlined sentences in Paragraph 2 __________.A. illustrate the technical superiority of Japanese technology over American technologyB. warn against the possibility that robot workers will replace human workersC. show the growth in acceptance of robot workers worldwideD. prove the need to catch up with Japanese technology41. In Line 3 Paragraph 1, the word “deftly” means ___________.A. clumsilyB. expensivelyC. lightlyD. skillfully42. In this passage, the author shows preference in favor of ________.A. General ElectricB. steel-collar workersC. more factory personnelD. Ford Motor43. The writer of this passage probably __________.A. sees a role for both robot and human factory workersB. wants to see more robots employed in factoriesC. feels threatened by robotsD. believes robots make manufacturing much easierCA study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWesl that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.University tuition fees (学费)are currently capped at £3,000 annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average £ 31,000 by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just £ 17,815. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than £10,000. Average debts for graduates are £ 12, 363.Stephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said, “The more expo sed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively."Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweathcr, aged 15, from St Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.44. Which of the following can be found from the five-year research project?A. Students understand personal finances differently.B. University tuition fees in England have been rising.C. Teenagers tend to overestimate their future earnings.D. The students’ payback ability has become a major issue.45. The phrase “to raise the ceiling” in paragraph 2 probably means "______".A. to raise the student loansB. to improve the school facilitiesC. to lift the school building roofsD. to increase the upper limit of the tuition46. According to Stephen Moir, students_______.A. should learn to manage their finances wellB. are too young to be exposed to financial issuesC. should maintain a positive attitude when facing loansD. benefit a lot from lessons on personal finance47. What can we learn from the passage?A. Teenagers in Britain are heavily burdened with debts.B. Many British teenagers do not know money matters well.C. Financial planning is a required course at college.D. Young people should become responsible adults.DHolidaysHoliday NewsVacancies(空位) now and in the school holidays at a country hotel in Devon.
