III．教材分析
本单元以the power of nature 为话题，旨在通过本单元教学使学生了解火山爆发，地震，台风，洪水，海啸等自然现象，认识到自然的伟大力量，并会用所学词汇描述在经历自然灾害时的感受，思考人类应对自然灾害的态度和方法，提高自我保护意识。
Warming up 通过对火山爆发示意图的探讨激活学生了解与本单元话题相关的背景知识，而后通过讨论人类应对自然灾害的措施引发学生对本单元话题的思考，激发学生的求知欲，为随后进行的听说读写打下基础。
Pre-reading 通过回答问题测试自己是否适合作火山学家，让学生了解这一陌生职业，为阅读做好准备。
Reading 部分一味火山学家以第一人称的形式讲述了自己的工作及第一次目睹火山爆发时的情景和心情，描写了人与自然的斗争与和谐相处的乐趣，使学生认识到火山是美丽的，
但同时极具破坏力，而火山学家的工作可以减少由火山引发的损失。
Comprehending 设计了两种题型：第一题要求学生在阅读后发表对火山学家这一职业的看法；第二题检测学生对文章细节的理解。
Learning about language 分为词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分着重从词的意义用法和表达方
面对学生学习词汇给予指导；语法部分学习-ing形式在句子中作状语表原因，时间及结果。
Using language 以语言实践为目的，包括四个部分的内容。Listening 三位火山学家
讲述了他们各自最惊险的一次经历。学生在练习听力的同时学会描述害怕和紧张的词汇。
Speaking 是listening 的延续。要求学生讲述自己类似的经历，同时在运用中巩固单词。
Reading 介绍了旅游胜地the lake of heaven， 培养学生快速获取信息的能力。Reading

Sunning up部分要求学生就火山，火山学家，天池，本单元词语，-ing形式和表达情感的日常交际用语等方面进行自我评价，判定呢感学习情况。
learning tip 部分介绍单词记忆方法：利用构词法或话题分类记忆单词；利用图表，图片等记忆单词；随身携带生词本；多
说多写。

结果 It rained heavily, causing severe flooding in the area.(= It rained heavily so that it caused severe flooding in the area.)在这个地方雨下的如此大，以至引发了洪灾。
2) –ing形式的完成式

2) . 使用-ing形式需注意的几个问题:
.①分词(短语)作状语时，其逻辑主语必须与句子的主语一致。如果不一致，必须
用独立主格结构来表示，也就是在分词前面加上它的逻辑主语。
My wife had a long talk with Sally, explaining why she didn’t want the
children to play together我妻子与莎莉谈了很长时间，解释她为什么不想让
孩子们在一起玩。(现在分词explaining是句子主语my wife做的动作，它
们之间是主动关系,即explaining的逻辑主语，就是句子的主语my wife 。)
The train having gone, we had to wait another day.（the train逻辑主语 +
having gone 既为独立主格结构）
②分词短语做状语时，前面可以加上连词或 介词，但是分词短语和句子之间不能用并列连词(如but，and)，因为并列连词接的是两个并列成分，而分词短语只是全句的一个状语部分。分词和主句之间可用逗号。
例如:
误: Having been told many times，but he still couldn’t understand it.
正: He was told many times, but he still couldn’t understand it.或
Having been told many times， he still couldn’t understand it.
③-ing的一般式和完成式现在分词都可以表示先后接连发生的动作。在可能引起误解的场合应该用完成式现在分词表示先发生的动作。
例如:
Opening the drawer，he took out his wallet. (=He opened the drawer and took
out his wallet.)他打开抽屉，拿出钱包。
Coming into the room，he put down his bag. (=he came into the room and put
down his bag.)他走进房间，放下提包。
Having brushed his teeth，Mr. Brown came downstairs for breakfast.
布朗先生刷过牙，就下楼来吃早饭。 (此句如写成:Brushing his teeth,
Mr. Brown came downstairs for breakfast.可能指“边刷牙，边下楼’。
④分词的否定形式是在分词短语前面加上 not, never等否定词构成。
例如:
Not fearing the fire, the child touched and got a finger burnt.
小孩儿不知道怕火，用手去摸，把手指烫了。
Not knowing how to find the subway, I asked a policeman for help. 我不知道怎
样找到地铁，就去找警察帮忙。
The fifth period Listening
Listen to three volcanologists talking about frightening experience in their work life. The texts model ways to express feelings of anxiety and fear.
1. First listening
1) Set Exercise 1. Remind students that they are required only to listen to names
of the three scientists and to try to understand the gist of each recount.
2) check answers. Ask students to recall what happened to each speaker, in
general terms only, they are not expected to remember details at this stage.
2.Second listening
1) This time students will be listening for details. Stop the tape after each speaker
and give students time to write their answers. Check answers before moving to
the next speaker.
2) At this point, you could ask students work in groups of three, each taking the role of one of the volcanologists and recounting the story to others in the group. Before
they start, ask them for some useful expressions to talk about fear and anxiety. Write these
on the board and suggest students use these in their recounts.
Eg: I was very worried that…
I was trembling …
I was still terrified.
I was so nervous that …
I was so anxious that…
3.Third listening
This time the students are listening for a different kind of detail. They must listen
for the expressions listed in Exercise 3 in order to identify who said what. These
sentences model ways of expressing fear and anxiety.
1) Having individual students read the sentences aloud to the class. Ask them to try to recall who said each one. Ask them to write their guesses in their books in
the left-hand margin beside the expressions.
2) Play the tape for students to identify the expressions and record the name of the
speaker in the SB. It may be necessary to play the tape more than once. Check
answers by playing the tape and stopping when one of the expression is heard.
3. Ask students to check how many of their guesses were correct. The aim of this is to build students confidence by showing them how much they had understood even before they consciously listened for these expressions.
4. Ex: speaking
Think of a powerful natural force (such as an earthquake, flood, typhoon, storm) that you have experienced. You can use your imagination if you have not experienced any of these things. Tell your partner about your experience and how you felt. Use expressions from Exercise 3 in listening as well as other words and expressions you and your partner have thought of..
The sixth period Using language
This reading passage is written as though it is from a tour guide. It describes some of
the tourist attractions in Changbaishan in Jilin provinc.
1. Ask students to read the title of the passage and then ask whether they have heard of this lake. Spend a few minutes eliciting students’ prior knowledge about
Changbaishan.
2. Read the questions before reading passage and ask students to read through the passage as quickly as possible.
 Changbaishan is the second largest nature reserve in China. (F)
 The peak of Changbaishan can reach as high as 2,000 meters. (T)
 You can see a lot of black bears, leopards or cranes in Changbaishan. (F)
 Tianchi is a lake in the crater of an extinct volcano. (T)
 The ancestors of the Manchu people were believed to be good at language and persuasion. (F)
3. Read the questions that appear before the reading passage. As going through each
question discuss which key words are and have students underline them. Point out
that they do not need to understand every word in the passage in order to find the
answers. Instead, they should scan the text quickly looking for underlined keywords in the questions. Once they find a sentence containing a key word, they can read more slowly to see if that sentence contains the answer.
4. Check answers.
5. some explanations:
The height of the land varies from 700 metres above sea level to over 2,000 metres
and is home to a great diversity of plants and animals.
这里的地面高度从海拔700米到2，000多米不等， 是各种各样的动植物的生长地。
