Ⅱ.Teaching Time: Five periods Ⅲ.Background Information: 1.Madame Curie Marie was born in Poland in 1867.She was given the name Marie Sklodowska by her parents.Her father was a teacher.Everyone soon saw that Marie had a quick mind. Marie's mother died when her youngest daughter was only ten.This made Marie know that she must work hard at her lessons if she wanted to be successful in her life.So she did and won top honors at her school.Marie and her elder sister,Bronya,dreamed of studying in France.But their father did not have enough money to send them there.Then Marie made out a plan:She would teach at home and send her money to Bronya.After her sister finished studying in Paris,she could get work and send Marie the money to study there in return.With tears in their eyes the girls said goodbye to each other,and Marie worked very hard for six years to pay for her sister's studies.At last it was Marie's turn,but by the time she got to France,her sister was married and could not give her much help. Again Marie worked,she studied in a small room without heat or light.She lived on bread and tea most of the time,but what she cared of most was her science—her study and her research work.This was her world,and she liked her experiment most. In Paris she met and married Pierre Curie,a young famous scientist.Together they made their experiments in an old house.The Curies were awarded the Nobel Prize for their great contribution to science.In 1911 Madame Curie received another Nobel Prize.It is the only time in history that two Nobel Prizes have been given to the same person,and this person was a woman. Marie Curie,an extraordinary woman scientist with extraordinary success discovered a hidden power from which the world benefits much.It was this same power,however,that killed her in 1934. 2.Helen Keller Helen Keller was born in America in June,1880.Everything was all right when she was born.But when she was nineteen months old,an attack of fever left her blind and deaf for the rest of her life.She became blind so young that as she grew older,she did not remember being able to see;and she became deaf before she had any idea of the importance of human speech.She lived in darkness and silence. As she grew older,she,too,wanted to express her ideas and feelings.But she realized that she was cut off from others. Miss Sullivan had a lot of difficulties in teaching Helen Keller.As the child could neither see nor hear,she had to use manual alphabet.But Helen's energy and intelligence and strong spirit,combined with Miss Sullivan's skill and patience,overcame all the difficulties.As Helen grew up,she became an able student,passed examinations and finally took a university degree in English literature.She then devoted all herself to helping the blind and the deaf.Her personal success,together with the work she has done for others,made her one of the greatest women in modern times.She wrote many books and “The Story of My Life” is a remarkable one.

T:Who'd like to say the rules of these underlined parts? S2:Let me try.Singular nouns are often used with singular verbs.Plural nouns are used with plural verbs.The sentences 1 and 2 are examples.Some collective nouns,such as people,police,cattle,have no singular form and can only be with plural verbs.Such are sentences 3,4 and 5.But I don't know why different verbs are used in the sixth sentence and the seventh one. T:It doesn't matter.Sit down,please.Who knows? Ss:Sorry.We don't know. T:Well.I'll explain that to you.Besides the collective nouns you just referred to,there are other collective nouns,such as family,group,team,army,class,government.But these nouns can have a singular or plural verb.If the noun refers to the individual member of a unit,the verb is plural.If it refers to a whole unit,the verb is singular.In the sixth sentence,the noun“my family”refers to a whole unit,so the verb is singular.In the seventh sentence,“my family”here refers to the individual member of a unit,so the verb is plural.Is that clear? Ss:Yes. T:Now,look at another two examples on the Bb. The boys' team has some good players,but the girls' is a better team. My dog team weren't with me to pull my sled. (Teacher asks two students to explain them.) T:Very good.Now,let's do an exercise.Please turn to Page 25. and do Ex 1.First do it by yourself,and then check your answers with your partner.I'll give you four minutes to do it.After that,I'll check your answers in class.OK?

Record after Teaching _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ The Fifth Period Subject-Verb Agreement Teaching Aims: 1.Review the grammar item:Subject-Verb Agreement. 2.Sum up some special rules of Subject-Verb Agreement. Teaching Important Points: 1.Enable the students to master some special rules of Subject-Verb Agreement. 2.Help the students consolidate the form of the verb that the collective noun should take. Teaching Difficult Points: 1.The form of the verb that two subjects joined by “and”should take. 2.The form of the verb that the collective noun(family,team,class,group,company, government,…)should take. Teaching Methods: review,explanation,inductive methods Teaching Aids: 1.a projector and some slides 2.the blackboard Teaching Procedures: Step Ⅰ. Greetings Greet the whole class as usual. Step Ⅱ.Revision (Teacher lets the students look at some sentences on the screen and asks them if the sentences are true or false.If the sentence is false,ask them to correct it according to the rules of Subject-Verb Agreement.) T:Please look at the screen.Tell me whether the sentences are true or false.If they're false,please correct them.(Show the following on the screen.) 1.The news are very exciting to every one of us. 2.The police is searching for the lost boy. 3.Nobody know who is going to win in the competition. 4.The army has rescued the travellers. 5.His physics is weaker than others. T:Who can tell me whether the first sentence is true or false?Any volunteers? S1:Let me try.The sentence is false.Here“are”should be replaced by“is”.Because the subject“the news”is an uncountable noun. T:Very good.What about the second sentence? (Teacher asks another student to answer.) S2:I think it is wrong.We can't use “is” in this sentence.We should use“are”,I think.But I don't know why. T:What you answered is right.Now,I'll tell you the reason.Because “police”is a collective noun.Such collective nouns as “people”“police”“cattle”and so on have no plural forms but should take a plural verb.Are you clear? S2:Yes. T:Now,let's look at the third sentence.Who can try? S3:I can try.This sentence is wrong.“know”should be replaced by“knows”.Because the subject“nobody”is an indefinite pronoun. T:Right.Sit down,please.The fourth one.Who can tell me whether it is right or wrong?Wang Xin,please. S4:I think it is right. T:Is her answer right or wrong? Ss:Wrong.Because in this sentence,the noun“the army”refers to the individual member of the unit.We should use a plural verb.We should not use“has”but“have”. T:Quite right.Now look at the last sentence,please.Let's do it together. Ss:It's right. (Bb:Write these correct sentences on the blackboard.) T:Very good.It is important for us to use the singular or plural form of the verb correctly.Generally speaking,singular nouns are used with singular verbs.Plural nouns are used with plural verbs.But there are some Special Rules of agreement between Subject and Predicate that we must pay attention to. Step Ⅲ.Summary of the Special Rules of Subject-Verb Agreement T:Now,let's sum up some special rules of Subject-Verb Agreement.Please look at the screen. (Teacher shows some special rules and some examples on the screen.And give some explanations.) Ⅰ.The following can usually be used with plural verbs. 1.Two or more singular subjects joined by“and”.“both…and…”usually take a plural verb. e.g.My father and mother are away on business.Both rice and wheat are grown in this part of China. Note:1)Two singular subjects joined by“and”but denoting one person or thing or idea should be used with a singular verb. e.g.Time and tide waits for no man. Bread and butter is served for breakfast. The following phrases are usually used with a singular verb. a knife and fork salt and water a horse and cart coffee and milk a needle and thread iron and steel a watch and chain time and tide 2)Two or more singular subjects joined by“and”but preceded by“each”“every”“no”take a singular verb. e.g.In our country every boy and every girl has the right to education. No teacher and no student stays at school on Sunday. 2.Collective nouns such as “people,public,police,cattle,militia,poultry”are always take a plural verb. e.g.People are talking about the news. The cattle are eating grass in the fields. 3.Nouns that are plural forms,such as “clothes,shoes,trousers,scissors,socks,slippers,glasses, compasses,always take a plural verb.” e.g.My trousers were made by my mother. Note:If these nouns are preceded by “a pair of”,the predicate verb should agree with “pair”in number. e.g.A pair of slippers is under the bed. Many pairs of glasses have sold out. 4.The expression more than+numeral+noun(pl.)usually take a plural verb. e.g.More than two hundred students are planting trees. Ⅱ.The following usually takes a singular verb. 1.When the subject is expressed by an infinitive,a gerund,or a subordinate clause,the verb is generally singular. e.g.To complete the project is a great success. When he will leave for Beijing is unknown. 2.When the subject is expressed by indefinate pronouns,such as either,neither,another,each,anything,little etc.,the verb is usually singular. e.g.Everyone is here. 3.Nouns that are plural in form but singular in sense,such as news,politics,physics, mathematics,economics usually take a singular verb. e.g.Physics is difficult to learn. 4.Plural expressions of time,distance,weight,value etc.,usually take a singular verb. e.g.Two and ten is twelve. Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money. 5.When a plural noun is used as the name of a book,drama,newspaper,country etc.,the verb is singular. e.g.The New York Times is published daily. Ⅲ.The following can be used with a plural verb or a singular verb according to a certain situation. 1.In the inverted structure,the verb should agree with the first subject that follows the verb. e.g.There is a lamp,two books and three pens on the desk. On the wall hangs a picture. 2.When two or more subjects are joined by“or”“nor”“not only…but also…”or“not…but”…,the verb agrees with the subject next to it. e.g.Either Ann or Jane is from New Zealand. Neither he nor I have finished the experiment. 3.When two subjects are connected by“as well as”“rather than”“no less than”“like”“but”“with”“except”“including”etc.,the verb agrees in person and number with the first one. e.g.No one except my parents knows anything about it. 4.Collective nouns(class,crew,crowd,family,government,group,team,company…)take a plural verb when it is thought of as the individual member of a unit,but a singular verb when it is thought of as a whole unit. e.g.His family is a big one. His family are sitting at the breakfast table. 5.Nouns denoting quantity or amount such as “half of”“a lot of”“plenty of”“part of”“percentage”“fraction”may take either a singular or a plural verb according to their meanings or what follows. e.g.80% of the population of China are famers. Plenty of time is left. Step Ⅳ.Practice and Consolidation T:Now,let's do some exercises.Please look at the screen. (Teacher shows the screen.)

Step Ⅶ.Record after Teaching ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ ________________________________ Reference for Teaching 一、异域风情 1.Swedish Folklore 瑞典的民俗 Sweden is a land of contrasts(反差很大).In the north,where forests fade into frozen ground(森林逐渐消失为冰冻的土地),the influence of tradition and folklore is strong.In the milder(气候比较温和)，more fertile(土壤更加肥沃)south,the customs(风俗)are basically those of continental Europe(欧洲大陆). In Sweden,legends(传说)exist in people's everyday life.Hunting legends,for example,tell how men have been turned into beasts by magic.It is thought unlucky to see a hare in the morning but to meet a wolf or a bear is an omen that hunting will be good(人们认为一大早看到野兔是会倒霉的，但如果碰到狼或熊则是一个好兆头，因为它将预示着狩猎的顺利).And there are some ancient customs about birth.When a child is born,the women of the family must carry it three times(三圈)around its parents' hearth(壁炉)and then examine it for birthmarks(胎记).If child is covered in the membrane,that means it will always be accompanied by a guardian spirit(守护神).It is feared that children who lack the protection of a guardian spirit may be stolen by witches(女巫)and turned into disembodied spirits(变成游魂). A country wedding(乡村婚礼)in Sweden is also very interesting.It is celebrated with traditional festivities.The bridegroom(新郎)must formally ask for the bride's hand(正式向新娘求婚)in the barn(谷仓),because this is where the dowry(嫁妆)is stored.On the wedding day the women of the family help the bride to dress in national costume(民族服装),which includes silver jewelry(银制的饰物)and a bridal crown(新娘花冠).Meanwhile friends and male relations(男性亲戚)wait in the kitchen,drinking beer.When the bride is ready(准备就绪),all the relatives(亲戚)and guests form a procession,which is led by young men on horseback. They meet the groom's procession(新郎一方的迎亲队伍)at the church and greetings,symbolizing the kinship which now unites the two families(象征着连接彼此的亲戚关系正式形成),are exchanged(互相祝贺).When the wedding service(仪式)ends,the guests go to the bride's house for the marriage feast(婚宴). 2.The First Man in Space Four,three,two,one,zero!Whoosh!There is a great roar,and another rocket starts its journey into space.Then who was the first man,do you know,to go up into space?It was a Russian named Yuri Gagarin(1934.3~1968.3).That was on April 4,1961.He traveled once round the earth,and his journey lasted, 108 minutes. There have been many flights into space since 1961.But we shall always remember the first man who went on the dangerous and exciting journey,and we shall never forget that day—April 4,1961.

He is very lonely. (二)think of,think about,think over 1.think of/about可表示“考虑，想一想”，用about更侧重做事的可行性。 e.g.Just think about the cost. 考虑一下代价吧。 Don't think of it any more. 别再想这件事了。 2.think of/about可表示“对某事物有……看法”。 e.g.What did you think of the report? 你觉得那个报告怎么样？ We don't care what they think about us. 我们不在乎他们对我们怎么想。 3.think of还可表示“想起/到，打算做某事”。 e.g.He often thinks of changing his job. 他常常想改换工作。 I can't think of his name right now. 我一时想不起他的名字。 4.think over意为“仔细考虑，重新考虑”。 e.g.I'd better think over what he said. 我最好仔细考虑他说过的话。 We have thought the plan over and decided not to join it after all. 我们重新考虑了这个计划并且决定不参加了。 (三)become,get,come,go,grow,fall,turn,run它们虽然都表示“(从一种状态)变成另一种状态”，但与其相关的搭配却有差别。若不注意，在使用时就会出错。 1.形容词在这类系动词后面作表语 go和come相比，“go+形容词”多表示“(从好的状态)变成坏的状态”，而“come+形容词”则多表示“(从坏的状态)变成好的状态”。 e.g.(1)In hot weather,meat goes bad. 热天，肉会变坏。 (2)Things will come right in the end. 形势最终会变好的。 系动词go后面的表语为mad,crazy,blind,lame或表示颜色的形容词时，go前面的主语一般为人。 e.g.(1)He went mad last year. 去年他疯了。 (2)Hearing this,she went red. 听到这个，她脸红了。 系动词run后面接short,dry,low,deep等形容词作表语时，其前的主语多为能流动的或能消耗掉的东西。 e.g.(1)Their money was running short. 他们的钱就要用完了。 (2)Still water runs deep. 水仍旧很深。 系动词run后面接形容词wild作表语时，run的主语可以是人。 e.g.The children run wild. 孩子们变得任性。 系动词grow后面可以接表示人或物的特征的静态形容词作表语，也可以接表示天气的形容词作表语。它侧重于“逐渐变成某种状态”。 e.g.(1)The girl grew thinner and thinner. 这个女孩越来越瘦了。 (2)Soon the sky grew dark. 天很快变黑了。 系动词turn后面多接表示颜色的形容词作表语，也可以接表示天气的形容词作表语。意思上侧重于“变得与以前完全不同”。 e.g.The man turned blue with fear. 那个男人因害怕而脸发青。 The weather suddenly turned much colder. 天气突然变得冷多了。 系动词fall后面可以接asleep,silent等静态形容词或表示疾病的形容词作表语，但不能接形容词的比较级作表语。 e.g.She fell ill from cold. 她因感冒病倒了。 “get+形容词”多用在口语中。get能替代become，但become较为正式。get与become前面的主语既可以是人也可以是物。 e.g.He became/got angry with his son. 他生他儿子的气。 His coat has become/got badly torn. 他的外套已经非常破了。 get经常与形容词的比较级连用。 e.g.The days are getting longer and longer after the winter solstice. 冬至过后，天变得越来越长。 注意：系动词become一般不可用来表示“将来变得……”的意思。 2.系动词become,turn,get,go,fall后面能跟名词作表语，其他的“变成”类系动词后面不能跟名词作表语。 e.g.His dream has become a reality. 他的梦想变成了现实。 He has turned scientist. 他成了科学家。 Her cheeks went a very pretty pink. 她的脸颊变得绯红。 He fell a victim to cancer. 他死于癌症。 注意：在turn后面作表语用的名词前通常不带冠词。 3.come和go后面多接有否定前缀的过去分词。“get+过去分词”表示一次行为；“become+过去分词“表示事物发展的最后结果。 e.g.The string comes untied. 鞋带没系。 His report went unnoticed. 他的报告没有引起注意。 The fence gets white-washed every year. 栅栏每年都要粉刷。 The room soon became crowded. 房间很快就变得拥挤了。 4.系动词get,go,come后面可接现在分词，但含义不是“成为”。 e.g.They went in and got chatting together.(get意为“开始”) 他们进去后开始聊天。 We often go swimming.(go意为“去”) 我们常去游泳。 He came running in.(come意为“来”) 他跑进来了。 5.系动词come,grow,get后面接不定式，表示变化过程。come表示“最终变得”；get表示“由……变得”；grow表示“渐渐变得”。 e.g.I've really come to love this place. 我的确变得喜欢这个地方了。 Mary's growing to be more and more like her mother. 玛丽越长越像她的母亲了。 You'll soon get to like it. 你很快就会变得喜欢它的。 注意：这种结构不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。 (四)sometime,some time,sometimes,some times 1.sometime是副词，意为“在某个不确定的时间”，“在某个时候”，“某时”，可以同将来时连用，也可以同过去时连用。 e.g.Will you come again sometime next week? 你能在下周某个时间再来一趟吗？ She was there sometime last year. 去年某一时候她在那儿。 2.some time是名词词组，意为“一段时间”，作时间状语用；也可用作副词词组，用来指一个未肯定的时刻，常指将来，此时，可与sometime通用。 e.g.I'll stay here for some time. 我将在这儿呆一段时间。 They'll visit China some time next year. 明年的某个时候，他们将访问中国。 3.sometimes是频度副词，意为“有时，不时”，常与一般现在时或一般过去时连用。 e.g.Sometimes he goes to school by bus,sometimes he goes by bike. 有时他乘公共汽车上学，有时骑自行车上学。 4.some times是名词词组，意为“几次，几倍”。 e.g.I met him some times in the street last month. 上月我在街上遇到他几次。 The factory is some times larger than that one. 这个工厂比那个工厂大几倍。 四、能力训练 (一)单句改错(主谓一致专练) 1.The number of visitors are very large this year. 简析：are→is。因为在“the number of+名词复数”时，中心词是“number”，而在“a number of+名词复数”中，中心词才是名词复数。 2.The population in China are very large,but 80% of that are farmers. 简析：第一个are改为is。population一词作为主语时，谓语动词用单数；但其百分比作主语时，谓语动词要用复数。 3.The doctor's are on the side of the street. 简析：are→is。名词所 |
