人教版高二Unit 11 Scientific achievement

發布時間：2016-2-8 編輯：互聯網手機版

Ⅰ.Brief Statements Based on the Unit

Science and technology are part of productive forces. The modern society has proved it. As we all see now, scientific achievements have changed the whole world and made people break away from ignorance and backwardness. The society has made great progress. This unit is arranged around the central topic-scientific achievement. In Warming up, there are several pictures asking students to talk about the most significant scientific achievements. The Speaking part introduces four different scientists who want to get money to complete their projects which are very helpful to human beings. The reading material-Zhongguancun, which is called China’s Silicon Valley, is the new centre for Chinese science and technology. By studying this unit, students also know that Chinese history is filled with great achievements in science and technology. In particular, since the year 1995 the Chinese government put forward a plan for “rejuvenating the nation by relying on science and education” and this has helped Chinese scientists make many breakthroughs. This unit presents four such results in Integrating Skills. As to Grammar-Word Formation, teacher should let students master some knowledge of forming a word, and know how to use stems and affixes to form a compound.

Step Ⅰ Revision

T: Last period, we read the passage Zhongguancun and learned much about it. Now, can you tell me something about it? （choose one or two students to answer the question.）

T: Very good. Thank you. We all know Zhongguancun is the leader of China’s hi-tech industry as Silicon Valley in the USA. So sometimes it is called China’s Silicon Valley. In the last class, I asked you to use a library or the Internet to find out more about Silicon Valley and then compare the two areas. Now who’d like to tell us how similar or different they are? Any volunteer?

(Sample answer: Both Zhongguancun and Silicon Valley are home to Internet industry as well as hi-tech companies, most of which are founded by students, faculty and staff members from the surrounding universities. However, as a fledgling hi-tech community, Zhongguancun has many differences from Silicon Valley. Silicon Valley has evolved a culture that is tuned to market-driven innovation, while in Zhongguancun, innovation is still largely driven by technology. In addition, investors in Silicon Valley are frequently an integral parts of companies day-to-day operations. While in Zhongguancun, investors has been used only as a source of financing.)

Teaching Aids:

3. The blackboard

4. A small blackboard

Teaching Procedures:

Step Ⅰ Revision

Ask students to make some sentences with the new words and phrases learnt last period.

Step II Word Study

T: Well done. Now, please open your books at Page 5.We’ll deal with Word Study. First, Word Study. Then, Word Formation. Look at the exercise in Word Study now. Choose the answer that is closest in meaning to the underlined part. First, do it by yourself. Then check the answers with your partner. In the end, I’ll collect the right answers.

Suggested answers:

1.A 2.B 3.C 4.B 5.C 6.A 7.B 8.C

Step III Word Formation

T: Now, let’s study Word Formation. First, look at the words on the screen carefully and find out the ways of forming a word. Then I’ll ask some students to explain how they are formed..

(Teacher shows the following on the screen.)

international=inter-+national telephone=tele-+phone

mankind=man+kind broadband=broad+band

extremely=extreme+-ly manned=man+-ed

hi-tech=high+technology e-school=electronic school

IT=information technology CSA=Chinese Space Agency

Suggest answer: Some of them are formed with prefixes in front of the stems, such as “international” and “telephone”,while some of them are formed with suffixes at the end of the stems, such as “extremely” and “manned”.Both of these two ways of forming a word are called derivation.

(Bb: derivations :international, telephone, extremely, manned)

Suggest answer:“mankind” and “broadband” are compounds, composed of two words,“hi-tech” and “e-school” are short forms of compounds;“IT” and “CSA” are also short forms.

(Bb: compounds :mankind, broadband short forms: hi-tech, e-school, IT,CSA)

T: OK. Now ,please look at the stems and affixes on the screen. Match each of them with the right meaning on the right.

(Teacher shows the following on the screen.)

trans- carry

-graph see

tele- below

super- life

co- together/with

vis- more than usual

bio- far

sub- across

-port- writing

T: You are given two minutes to prepare. Then I’ll check your answers.

Suggested answers:

trans-=across tele-=far

co-=together/with bio-=life

vis-=see -graph=writing

-port-=carry sub-=below

super-=more than usual

T: Well done. I think you’ve learnt more about Word Formation, including the ways of forming a word and the meanings of some stems and affixes. This will make it easy for you to guess the meaning of words using context clues. Please look at the screen. Let’s do another exercise.

Suggested answers:

showcase=show+case breakthrough=break+through

bioengineering=bio-+engineering outstanding=out+standing

enable=en-+able restore=re-+store

indirectly=indirect+-ly strengthen=strength+-en

A sample essay:

The publication of the detailed structure of 99% of the human genome is the culmination of one of the largest scientific undertakings in history. Initiated in 1990,the Human Genome Project involved the cooperative work of hundreds of scientists in 20 sequencing centres in countries including China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan and the United States.

The achievement is important. Not only has it given a glimpse into the extraordinary complexity of the structure of human DNA but it has also demonstrated the huge potential of cooperative scientific endeavor organized on an international basis.

Moreover, the project’s completion has already produced medical breakthrough, scientists assert that the achievement can assist research into cancers such as leukemia, and may also extend far beyond to the other deadly diseases.

Step Ⅵ Summary and Homework
