一、教法建議
【拋磚引玉】
本單元通過一封美國筆友的信介紹了一名美國中學(xué)生的暑期生活，對剛度過暑假考上高中的新生來說具有現(xiàn)實(shí)的意義，為學(xué)生結(jié)合暑期自身經(jīng)歷，用英語操練提供了良好的話題。通過新學(xué)期第一單元的教學(xué)，要使學(xué)生調(diào)整心態(tài)與學(xué)習(xí)方法，盡快適應(yīng)高中英語教學(xué)，順利地完成從初中到高中的過渡；復(fù)習(xí)初中學(xué)習(xí)過的各種時態(tài)的特殊疑問句，進(jìn)一步熟悉英文書信的格式。
本單元的能力要求：
⒈Lesson 1：
A.重復(fù)：重復(fù)教師或同學(xué)的例句，訓(xùn)練瞬間記憶。
B.造句：用對話中出現(xiàn)的詞或短語造句，在操練中掌握新詞語。
C.背誦：背誦對話，做到熟練掌握。
D.應(yīng)用：用第1課中出現(xiàn)的詞或詞組編寫新對話并表演。
⒉Lesson 2：
A：復(fù)述：①簡單復(fù)述，講述信的主要內(nèi)容即可；
②用5-7句概括信的內(nèi)容.
B：口頭作文：在腦子里設(shè)計一封給同學(xué)的信，并口頭表達(dá)。
⒊Lesson3：
A.造句：用所學(xué)的疑問詞where，which，what等造句。
B.對話：用所學(xué)的疑問句where，which，what等當(dāng)堂編寫對話進(jìn)行操練。
⒋Lesson4：

B.口頭作文：用be good at，enjoy，prefer...to等詞語口頭作文，3-5句即可。
【指點(diǎn)迷津】
本單元應(yīng)掌握的重點(diǎn)、難點(diǎn)：
⑴at the beginning of ⑵in the beginning
⑶so+be/助動詞/情態(tài)動詞+主語 ⑷be off/leaving
⑸nice to meet you ⑹nice meeting you
⑺introduce sb.to ⑻go away
⑼in one?/FONT>s opinion ⑽from dawn till dark
⑾go on doing something ⑿g(shù)o on with something
⒀employ sb. ⒁as a result（of）
⒂give one?/FONT>s reagrds（best wishes，love）to ⒃by the way
⒄be good at ⒅prefer...to
⒆it?/FONT>s one?/FONT>s turn... ⒇be（get，become）interested in
二、學(xué)海導(dǎo)航
【學(xué)法指要】
⒈ -I go to school by bike. What about you?
-So _________.
A. I do B. do I C. I am D. am I
【解答】答案為B。"so+be情態(tài)動詞+ 主語"表示用謂語所述情況同前文提及的情況一樣，意為"也一樣"、"也這樣"。該句型所使用的be動詞、情態(tài)動詞或助動詞要根據(jù)上文去變化。
如果時間、條件允許，可以學(xué)習(xí)下面句型，即so+主語+ be/助動詞/情態(tài)動詞，并與原句型加以對比，注意兩種句型與原句主語的異同。
例如：
①A: It?/FONT>s a lovely day, isn?/FONT>t it?
B: So it is.
②My father promised to buy me a toy car and so he did.
⒉After saying hello to me, he went on __________.
A. to walk B. with walk C. walking D. with walking
【解答】答案為C。"go on doing sth ."意為"繼續(xù)作（原來作的）某事"，"go on to do sth ."是"接著作（另一件）某事"，"go on with"意為"繼續(xù)作某事"，相當(dāng)于go on doing sth .，但 with的賓語必須是名詞或代詞。
⒊_______ his carelessness, he didn?/FONT>t pass the examination.
A. As a result B. As a result of C. Because D. Since
【解答】答案為B。"as a result of"是短語介詞，后面必須接名詞，才能形成介詞短語。"as a result" 是短語副詞，在句中作狀語。because是連詞，后接從句；because of 是介詞，后面可接名詞。選項C如為Because of 亦可成為正確答案。since用作介詞時，意為"自從"，其短語不是原因狀語。
⒋I prefer rice ________ bread.
A. to B. than C. to eat D. than eating
【解答】答案為A。"prefer A to B"意為"喜歡A，而不喜歡B"，"A"和"B"可以是名詞，也可以是動名詞，但必須是同類結(jié)構(gòu)。又如：Mary prefers singing to dancing.
⒌_______ my opinion, neither of you is right.
A. According to B. From C. Out of D. In
【解答】答案為D。" in one?/FONT>s opinion"是固定搭配，意為"依照某人的看法"、"據(jù)某人看來"。
【妙文賞析】
An Unusual Holiday
This summer I had unusual experience. It was raining heavily. Because of this the river near my town rose and flooded some of the rice field. The village was in danger.
The villagers including me went to the dam to make it strong. The PLA men also came to a help. We fought hard for three days. Finally the dam was saved.
The village was saved.
Though I become very tired after I returned home, I was very happy. I learned a lot from the villagers, the PLA men. I also learn a lot from my unusual experience.
【思維體操】
短文改錯
此題要求你對一篇文章改錯。先對每一行做出判斷是對還是錯。如果是對的，在該行右邊橫線上劃一個勾（√）；如果有錯誤（每行不會多于一個錯誤），則按情況改錯如下：
此行多一個詞：把多余的詞用斜線（\ ）劃掉，在該行右邊橫線上寫出該詞，并也用斜線劃掉。
此行缺一個詞：在缺詞處加一個漏字符號（∧），在該行右邊橫線上寫出該加的詞。
此行錯一個詞：在錯的詞下劃一橫線，在該行右邊橫線上寫出改正后的詞。
注意：原行沒有錯的請不要改。

【解答】
1．go改為come或been，構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時。
2．back后加to。
3．what改為that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，或去掉what。
4．去掉had，因為該句時間狀語last year表示的是一般過去時。
5．正確。
6．where改為which或that，在定語從句中作主語。
7．produce改為producing，現(xiàn)在分詞短語producing building materials作factory的定語。
8．have改為was，構(gòu)成被動語態(tài)。
9．before改為ago，因為該句謂語動詞是一般過去時。
10．getting改為get，前面省略了must。
三、智能顯示
【心中有數(shù)】
本單元第二課的體裁為書信，書信寫作是應(yīng)用文體中最重要、最常見的一種，1995年高考英語試題書面表達(dá)即采用圖畫與書信結(jié)合的一種形式，因此對書信的格式要求要熟練掌握。另外"so+be/助動詞/情態(tài)動詞+主語"結(jié)構(gòu)、prefer……to、go on doing/to do等也是高考及各類考試的熱點(diǎn).

Dear Charlie,
Thank you for your letter. I've just come back from my vacation. This summer I didn't stay at home. Instead, I went to Beijing with my friends. This is the first time that I've been there, and everything I saw interested me, -Tian'an Men Square, Beijing Underground Railway, Wangfujing Street and so on. I also visited the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Palace Museum and other interesting places. I had a good time.
Next week the new will begin, and I'll be busy again.
Best wishes.
