During the Han Dynasty, the art of depicting figures became increasingly elaborate.Rulers used didactic art to emphasize codes of govemment.Surviving examples of stone engraving and wall painting show strong and lively drawing.LandscapeThe art of landscape painting formed the central and most standing tradition in Chinese painting.On a basis of Taoist communion with nature and strengthened by Buddhism, there was a strong literary tradition of seclusion among , and meditation upon the forests , streams and mountains.China's landscape painting brought nature^ presence to wherever man desired it.Elements of landscape are already present in art of the Han Dynasty, but development did not really begin until the Tang Dynasty.The succeeding Northern Sung Dynasty(960—1127)has often been called the Golden Age of Chinese Landscape.The differences in approach and technique that naturally appeared became gradually categorized into traditions： the northern and southern schools.Birds and FlowersIn the Tang Dynasty at least one painter, Tiao Kuang—yin, was already known as a specialist in birds and flowers.However, the first two important names in bird and flower painting, Huang Chuan and Hsu Hsi, occur in the 10th century.Huang Chuan, a subject of the latter Shu Dynasty, inherited the traditions of the Tang Dynasty.His paintings of flowers and birds were in an accordingly archaic style, with strict conventions and conservative attention to careful real is m.Hsu His, who lived under the Southern Tang Dynasty created the “boneless" mo—ku style in which forms are built up with pale washes andoutlines are not used.His inspirations were unrestrained and the school he initiated was considered much the more creative.Mi Fu, the leading literati critic of the 11 th century remarked that ten paintings by Huang Chuan were not worth one by Hsu ter bird and flower painters generally belonged to either the Huang or the Hsu tradition.Stones and BambooStones and bamboo originally appeared as background objects in other types of paintings but gradually evolved into a separate genre.The 10th century Southern Tang ruler Li Hou—chu developed a trembling brush technique in calligraphy that was also particularly suitable for painting bamboo and rocks.Tang Hsi— ya, an artist of the same time, adapted it for that purpose.In the following Sung Dynasty, the painting of bamboo became more and more popular and many famous scholars such as Wen Tung and Su Shih were also well known for their paintings of bamboo.。

高二英语教案：Unit 1 (说课)
Unit One Making a differenceⅠ.Teaching aims and demands：1.Topic: Talk about science and scientists2. Function: describing people and debatingThat’s correct. It’s clear that…I doubt that …There is no doubt that…It’s hard to say. Well, maybe, but…That’s true.What’s your idea? Have you thought about…?3.Vocabularyundertake analysis within gravity similar paragraphdebate scan boundary incurable engage promiseexploration disable theory seek that(adv.) misunderstandscientific method observe match predict astronomercurious microscope telescope punish intelligent patientbe similar to work on go by be/get engaged to sb. use upgo on with dream of turn out be satisfied withtake a look at the other way round on firemake a difference be curious to do sth./ about sth. / that –clause4. GrammarThe infinitive used as predictive/ adverbial / attribute / subject/ objectⅡ.The analysis of the teaching materialThe topic of this unit is “making a difference”. In this unit, first we can learn about the science subjects and know the importance of each subject. Second, we can get familiar with some great scientists and their famous quotes and achievements, such as Stephen Hawking, Galileo, Albert Einstein, ZhangHeng and so on. Third, we will know how the discoveries and inventions of the great scientists help us better understand the world and improve our life. By knowing this, students are encouraged to study hard, and their love of science and their hope of becoming scientists are inspired.1.Warming up: It offers us five pictures of foreign great scientists with their famous quotes. Bylearning their quotes and talking about their achievements, students can know about the key to success and make their minds to be successful.2. Listening: It contains 4 great minds including the students. In fact, it provides three passagesand the students are asked to have a guess who they are, which is so interesting that it may further arouse the student s’ enthusiasm in science.3. Speaking: The students are asked to have a debate about which branch of science is themost important and useful to society. By doing so, students can practice debating skills and use some useful expressions freely. At the same time, they will find that knowledge plays an important part in our daily life.4.Pre-reading The three questions in pre-reading pave the way for reading.5.Reading: The text describes Hawking’s disease, dream, achievements and opinions on science and scientific research.6. Post-reading: The exercises help the students further understand this great scientist.7. Language study：It contains word study and grammar. Students will have a better knowledge of the uses of the infinitive in this part.8.Integrating skills：It includes reading and writing. In the reading passage, students can learn about characteristics of five scientists and their scientific spirit. In the writing part, students are asked to write a paragraph to describe a favourite scientist.9. Tips：Unit One also gives students some advice on how to use the scientific method to learn English.10. checkpoint ：It sums up the uses of the infinitive.Ⅲ.Teaching arrangementsPeriod 1&2: Warming up, listening and speakingPeriod 3&4: reading Period 5: Language studyPeriod 6: Integrating skills and writingNotes:1. Amending：In warming up, it’s too abstract for the students to talk about the quotes, so we deal with it as a unit task to the students at the very beginning―make up a column about scientists and their quotes.2. Replacement：In speaking, the text gives the students the debate: Which branch of science is more important and useful to our society?It’s too difficult and abstract for the students to carry it out. The reasons are as follows:1) Their vocabulary is not large enough.2) It’s too difficult to divide each branch of science in our daily life.In fact, each branch can’t be divided from the others. Only by combining them together, can we make our world more beautiful.So we change the topic, and ask the students to talk about what has happened in our daily life. That is , should a nuclear power station be built in Sanmen? This topic can give the students lots of space to talk about.3. Adding：This unit doesn’t give a good sample for the students to write about a scientist. So it is also very difficult for the students to do the writing well. Because of this, we add a research task to the students after finishing the reading material No Boundaries. (What is science and what is the spirit of a scientist? Do research on your favorite scientist and try to find out what makes him /her successful. The students are asked to finish the task by surfing the Internet.) With the help of the first unit task--- to make up a column about scientists and their quotes, it’s possible for the students to write a good article about a favorite scientist.Ⅳ.Teaching proceduresPeriod 1&2: Warming up, listening & speakingGoals: 1.To encourage the students talk about the science and scientists2.

第1页 共17页 Period 1 (Unit 1 BII) Warming up & Listening & Speaking I. Warming up 1. Introduce some famous scientists.
The German-American physicist Albert Einstein, b. Ulm, Germany, Mar. 14, 1879, d. Princeton, N.J., Apr. 18, 1955, contributed more than any other scientist to the 20th-century vision of physical reality. In the wake of (随着...而来) World War I, Einstein's theories--especially his theory of relativity--seemed to many people to point to a pure quality of human thought, one far removed from the war and its aftermath. Seldom has a scientist received such public attention for having cultivated the fruit of pure learning.
MARIE CURIE opened up the science of radioactivity（放射能）. She is best known as the discoverer of the radioactive elements（元素） polonium（钋） and radium（镭）and as the first person to win two Nobel prizes. For scientists and the public, her radium was a key to a basic change in our understanding of matter and energy. Her work not only influenced（影响） the development of fundamental （基础的）science but also ushered（引导）in a new era（纪元） in medical research and treatment.
Alfred North Whitehead (b.1861 - d.1947), British mathematician, logician and philosopher best known for his work in mathematical logic and the philosophy of science. In collaboration with Bertrand Russell, he authored（创造） the landmark（里程碑） three-volume Principia Mathematica (1910, 1912, 1913) and contributed significantly to twentieth-century logic and metaphysics（形而上学）.
At the time that Galileo arrived at the University, some debate had started up on one of Aristotle's "laws" of nature--namely, that that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. Aristotle's word had been accepted as gospel truth, and there had been few attempts to actually test Aristotle's conclusions by actually conducting an experiment! According to legend, Galileo decided to try. He needed to be able to drop the objects from a great height. The perfect building was right at hand--the Tower of Pisa, 54 meters tall. Galileo climbed up to the top of the building carrying a variety of balls of varying size and weight, and dumped them off of the top. They all landed at the base of the building at the same time (legend says that the demonstration was witnessed by a huge crowd of students and professors). Aristotle was wrong.
Who were they? What were they famous for?
Scientists Contributions Quotes Meaning Albert Einstein the Theory of Relativity Imagination is more important than knowledge. If we weren’ t able to use out imagination, knowledge would simply be a useless collection of facts . 第2页 共17页
Marie Curie discovery of radium and polonium Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. We must not be afraid of the unknown. Once we understand something, there is no need to be afraid. Thomas Alva Edison invention of light bulbs Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Great thoughts and ideas are the result of hard work, not sudden spurts of “inspiration”. Alfred North Whitehead It takes a very unusual mind to undertake analysis of the obvious. Most of us do not question the things we take for granted. Great scientists are enormously curious and tend to ask questions that others would never think of. Galileo Galilei You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. There is a big difference between learning and teaching.
2. Read the quotes, What do they mean? Do you agree? 3. Discussion Any other great scientists and their contributions? Any other quotes about science and thinking? 4. What makes a scientist successful? （creative, hard-working, curious, careful, confident）
II. Listening 1. Ask the students to guess the names of three well-known scientists. 2. Ask the students to write a brief paragraph about themselves.
III. Speaking 1. Warming-up Give my own point of view towards a language and try to get the students to express their ideas and debate with them. I think that English is the most important language in the world. What do you think? 2. Go through the useful expressions on P2. Teach them to use these expressions in the dabate. 3. Divide the class into groups of 4. Each group discusses one branch of science. Make some notes if necessary. Why do you think … is the most important and useful to society? 4. Language points 1) undertake: To take upon oneself; decide or agree to do 着手作;从事自己承办;决定或同意去作 eg. undertake a task 开始进行一项任务
